subwoofer question......what size sub ?
bpd24,I have a pair of A370PEQ amps. I was speedreading the 8033's product page looking at the pictures. I saw right and left inputs/outputs on the back. I am using my preamp out to both sub amps, so I'll take another look at the Antimode models. ... 
subwoofer question......what size sub ?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions about the Antimode. I will seriously look into it, as I can hook it up as designed.Kenny 
subwoofer question......what size sub ?
Willemj,Regarding the Antimode 8033, how does this device interface, if at all, with the sub's plate amp controls such as delay, phase, crossover, and volume? So, do you first zero-in your controls for sound and then put the 8033 in line? Or, will... 
Has a component ever changed your focus?
In assembling my latest system, I took a leapfrog step. I started with my analog front and then my speakers. In the middle, was a previously acquired integrated amp that was not the greatest match for the rest of my new investment. I tried some tw... 
Excellent Cart Alignment Aid
That magnifier looks very useful and thankfully not one of those $$$ audiophile accessories! Thanks for the post.Kenny 
Brand new to vinyl: Help!
Find a dealer/store who sells hi-end tables and see if you can get a loaner to try in your system. That would include a nice cartridge. That should help you to make up your mind. If you don't care for the sound then no sense in upgrading your Proj...

Where to Listen and compare
Have you been to Montreal? From March 23rd through the 25th is the Salon audio fest. I've been to it and it's a big show with many manufacturers and dealers where you can listen to as many systems as you can stand until your head spins. So, great ... 
Thiel CS3.6 and PrimaLuna
I own the Thiel CS 3.6 speakers and you don't want to drive them with minimal power, because they won't sing. Plus, you'll get distortion if you push it. I first went the tube route, and today would go with a quality SS amp and perhaps an equally ... 
DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs?
Update - As it turns out, the IKEA shelves or table tops are not filled with fiberboard, so used only in the corners. Instead, they are for the most part hollow, but use a paper honeycomb structure for strength. Essentially, these tables are mostl... 
DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs?
B, Yes it's easy to overthink this at this price point. Thanks, for your input.Kenny 
DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs?
Now, I get ya B!I wasn't going to try to find fiberboard to fill the cavities, because it only comes in sheets (I think). I was going to use wood turning stock that would perfectly fit the 1.75" x 1.75" cavities. That got me started to wonder if w... 
DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs?
B, That's a great idea using epoxy as a filler. The only downside would be the amount required. I will have twelve legs that average 7" each. Except, for the fiberboard inserts at the ends there's probably 5" of cavity in each leg, so 60" total. T... 
DIY IKEA Lack Rack - Preparing the legs?
B, Yup, that's what I have to do. So, if these legs were once filled with fiberboard, and now they're just fiberboard end caps, what's best to fill-in the legs with for resonance? So, that's the question.Kenny
