| Running All Your Cables with The same Brand When you first think about it, there does seem to be more sense in using all of the same brand cables. Most manufacturers will tell you this, as well. But I don't think its necessarily true. Its like saying that you have to use components from the... | |
| External Drive Help "03-09-15: SufentanilZd542, I disagree with the blanket statement that WD are unreliable. They make some great drives (as does Seagate). The key understanding is that all hard drives will fail eventually."Actually I said slow and unreliable. If I ... | |

| Buying equipment The one thing that I can't stress enough, is the need to listen to equipment before you buy it. Its extremely difficult going by reviews, especially if you don't have much experience with audio. That said, you're not as bad off as you may think. T... | |

| External Drive Help The first thing I would recommend you do is get rid of any WD drives. They're very slow and extremely unreliable. There's not too many people that make HD's anymore, but of all the common brands, I think Seagate is the best. So, If it were me, I w... | |
| SACD & other Formats "Any opinions of the Cambridge Audio Azur 752BD?"I don't read reviews. I'm sure that the reviewers are well intentioned, but I find them to be of very little use. I don't know what you're budget is, but have a look at this listing for an Esoteric ... | |
| Dunlavy SC IV extra tweeter felt? "So if the OP's tweeters have any felt attached to the domes then as Zd542 suggested, it was likely done on replacement tweeters rather than original. Four felt pads, even if very small, seem likely to damp/reduce HF response by a significant amou... | |

| Dunlavy SC IV extra tweeter felt? To dampen it. Most likely, the origional tweeters needed to be replaced and the exact same ones couldn't be found. So they installed new tweeters that were close, but not identical to the origional. The felt pieces were probably used to tune the n... | |
