First things first. Treat the room first then say there is not enough bass. You guys shoot first and ask question later. Spend your money on a little education FIRST that will cost you a little time but NO MONEY.. Then you won't be spending money ...

My First DIY Power Cable
Have you ever tried a rhodium plated connector?!?! (after 300 hour burn in, that is). I do understand that rhodium is very low down on the list with regards to conductivity, but that is only part of the story. You really need to listen to how rhod...

Well it seems that I hit the nail right on the head. That didn't take long.. How many post were erased by members and how many by the people that WORK for AG. The wrong people are erasing the members post.. They still haven't figured WHO pays the ... 
2 Subwoofers or 1?
The guys I hang with enclose the slot on RELs. Bottom ported or downward firing subs are as old as dirt. You can't decouple them. If you don't decouple, you screw the timing up at the seated position. There is a SUB signal coming to that position ... 
The magic of outdoor listening
I do my speaker testing outside at 0300. Does that count? I don't like chamber testing so the backyard has worked for 20 plus years. We concert in the back. We roll out the BIG ones and blast every now and then.. The song "10,000 Watts" I try.. LOL  
My First DIY Power Cable
I'm the same way about Furutech.  Rhodium connectors are one of the worst conductors, you might as well uses nickel. The difference is nickel/lead RCAs need to be cleaned but is a lot softer. Rhodium is for severe enviro conditions, and it looks p... 
Dual SVS Subs with Mcintosh C2500
The only issue I've had was to many splitters on the same output. I use a Cary SLP-05, C2500 and a C22 (vintage). The C2500 (with some sub plates) the signal is to weak to run multi signals on the RCA side of the C2500. The XLR side of the same ou... 
What are Home theater must-haves?
A budget with a plan after a little education. That cost very little and will pay great dividends in the long run.  
Speaker cable solid and strand copper cable
I was gonna say that..  In my dreams. :-) Thanks that was a great piece of information, that I understood..  You must be a REAL teacher. It's rare that people explain and keep my interest. Wonderful!  
Is my power chord going bad?
+ noromance The correct shielding in the right place.  
Is my power chord going bad?
It should NEVER touch anyway. 101 cables routing. When the cables are routed correctly you will have ZERO noise. Off the ground off each other cross at 90 degrees. I use as little shielding as possible. It KILLS the dynamics of a system if your no... 
bulbs
I'll do it for 50 buck and 500 for the shipping.. How is that? PAY the man or do it yourself. I'd give it a shot if it was my MC602.  BTW I have a MC602 with a blown bulb and a blown transformer, I tried to change the bulb too.  I'm kidding or am...

Show me one time in the last 10 years. I’ll show you where the thread was either shut down, closed, erased or most of the post erased, and not a single word said by the moderators.. Do YOU know what a "Cooler" is? You know like in "Roadhouse". Th...
