subwoofer connection to unfriendly amp
What about a speaker selector switch?? 
Ground loop hum from Turntable
First connect only the TT to the pre-amp and amp only (no other components). If the hum continues try a cheater plug on any power cords that have 3 prongs starting with the TT then the pre followed by the amp. I had a hum from my cdp and lifting t... 
bookshelf's to match older rotel 30watt
If you can find some used mission/cyrus 781's or 782's. I just got a pair of 781's here on A-gon for $250 shipped. The day I got mine I found a second pair here too for $200. I prefer and own the 782's but havent seen any used. I bought the 781's ... 
Causes of CD player skipping?
3 in 1 light oil worked for me. 
Causes of CD player skipping?
I agree with Dave. I had the same symptom on my old Yamaha cdx1030 (18 years old and my son is still using it). I used wd-40 to clean the rails then light oil to lub them.Note: Dont use too much oil so wipe off any excess.Good Luck

Usher 718BE or Dynaudio S1.4
I have never heard the Ushers myself only because when I heard the C1's my search for a speaker was over. I read that others on this forum said the beryllium tweeters were a little harsh/bright. Of course for everyone that said they were great the... 
Which is for me, floorstanding, or books w subs?
Headphones are your best bet on your budget. 
Are PC UPS a Power Conditioning alternative?
Are PC UPS a Power Conditioning alternative?Absolutely NOT. For starters computers use switching regulator power supplies and good audio uses linear power supplies. The output from a computer ups is a very jagged waveform. That being said you wou... 
If I like Dynaudio monitors, I would LOVE?????
I just got a pair of C1's (9 days ago) and couldn't be happier (well except for the burn-in still which is still in progress). I dont think you will find a sweeter tweeter than the esotar2. It blends in so well. I do also have a rel B3 sub and I'm... 
Review: Fusion Audio Enchanter/Impulse Power cord
I did just that with my cdp. BUT the impulse I had made has an oyaide 079 gold iec. So comparing the standard predator to the 'slightly upgraded' impulse I found it a tad smoother and a hair more open. Mind you I just got the impulse last week but... 
Review: Fusion Audio Enchanter/Impulse Power cord
Hey Bill I know about the burn in. This is my second set. I got my first set about a year ago also. I needed longer lengths. In fact they are burning-in now with my new speakers. Eric had told me the interlocker2 was the silver hybrid ic. Meridian... 
Review: Fusion Audio Enchanter/Impulse Power cord
Billm -nice reviewI too have the enchanter and just upgraded my predator to the impulse for my cdp. I also had Eric install oyaide 079 iec's. Great cables. Last week when auditioning some speakers I brought the impulse with me and compared it to t... 
Confused and unsure about upgrading my speakers.
Anyway, I am happy with my systemSanjay I am considering the same but just yesterday I demoed the sonus faber cremora autitors directly to my mission/cyrus 782's at the dealer (I personally will not ask for an in-home demo until I find the right m... 
Why would a pre amp blow fuses?
this all happened last month and I took it to a local shop they told me that my transformer was toast and the whole thing was junk..The transformer is a suspect. In THEORY if some of the windings started to short that would lower the resistance a...
