Modifying Crossovers
While the question is " Modifying Crossovers "  the reality is that we are  "upgrading" our crossovers .  I have even stayed with the same manufacturer for the film capacitors , as to not stray far from the original " house sound " of the speakers... 
Modifying Crossovers
@carlsbad2 Jerry ,  Your crossover is beautiful and your intent on mounting it externally should provide and extra level of improvement that I can't figure out why we aren't seeing speaker manufacturers doing it .  I wish that the crossovers in ... 
What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo?
In general I'd say Classical  but more specifically   Dvorak's  Symphony #5. " From The New World " and or Beethoven's Piano Concertos .

@audio1326 I looked at the Emotiva web site and noticed that the Basx 2 stereo and Basx 3 3 channel amps do not have a ground wire connection for the power cord .  You might try purchasing a 12awg extension cord long enough to plug into an outl...

Studs in the wrong place ,  so take a 2' x 2' or longer piece of 3/4" plywood and screw that into your studs with 3 or 3 1/5 " screws then mount your TT bracket onto that ,  I drilled 1/2" holes thru both the board and the wall then used toggle nu... 
Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners
if you want to spend $ I guess ( since it's not out yet ) the MOFI 45rpm LP set would be the way to go , for less a Japanese pressing sounds great and I like the new Box set of the Archives vol 1 .    I have at least 3 copies of her first 4 album...
