Svs, Rel, or ?.
Rythmik servo if you want the best for a decent price. Sealed servo will last through every speaker selection you ever make for a LONG time. 1. Rythmik (GR is pretty big so that out) 2. SAT (my bass system) 3. JL (they use to have a few issues....

Master M. what's up.. All for peanuts... :-) I just got a pound of fresh AAA Madagascar vanilla bean. Did you know Vanilla is an Orchid. One of the most labor intensive commodities produced, HEAVEN.. Vanilla fudge coming up.. LOL Regards.  
OCC cables anyone?
This may sound a little goofy, but I find the terminal ends have the most prolific effect on sound. Cables sound different but terminal ends and how they are attached to the cable really make a difference. NO SOLDER. Binding screws that are like m...

I've seen posters also speak ill of a Dealer because they received a peace of used equipment that some how show up DOA. Dealers don't sell DOA gear.  Then there is the plug and play crew that miss a switch for XLR/RCA or not plug the power cable ...

Baby needs a new pair of shoes and the rent is due! :-) The funny part stereo5 is true audiophile junkies are SLOW to part with their goods. A used car salesman isn't. "We're gonna put you in something today EVEN if we have to steal one and sell... 
Confused on should I Bi-Wire or Bi-Amp??
Yes op if you want to biamp a center speaker. You need two power amps or rails from the same amp. 2,3,4,5, etc.  Some amps have a mono/stereo input switch. Some bridge the two rails for a single output and double the power (YUK) Install a RCA/XL...

Praise in public. Chew in private. If all else fails you don't have to accept the insults. You can always return them to sender.  If what they are saying is the truth or a lie? A simple "here's the facts"? usually clears thing up.. I've caught...

Rislone engine treatment. 6-8.00 a quart. smells like gun oil. Slippery stuff, very thin and smells like gun oil. Better than eatin' bugs. Regards  
What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On?
mrskeptic what is that suppose to imply? That you're tough to please or everyone on AG has a lack of some type of higher education. A higher education doesn't always equate to wisdom about a subject. Nor do fact that others have obtained in their ... 
can it bee that audio research vsi 75 has lack of open highs/mid ?
Google "teflon capacitor". They are a type of capacitor that a few high end builders use. They also take a long time to break in. They SOUND weird while they are breaking in. The caps will throw sound in different directions and sound bright, hars...

I have a pair of Wyred 4 Sound SX1000 (no R). Two day to sound good. A lot of people said the "R" model was a lot better. The fact of the matter was they have to be driven and on at least 48 hours. Mine actually "Boomed" and hated longer cables. I... 
component grounding
Think kids, not grown up kids. There is a safety issue for sure. Kids, water, animals, electricity, NONE of that works out.  No smiles, or grins or LOL. I'm a good Dad no shortcuts. Well maybe a few for the grown up kids. I just want to add PLEA...

Be patient. Some of these guys are using teflons, 600-1000 hours for sound that last 35+ years, it's worth the wait. I use teflons in a few valve units, wonky is the word for a bit. Drive you nuts in speaker crossovers, but they sure sound good a...

Some aren't left in standby that's why. I have Nord Buffers on NC500 modules it's one or the other. I set mine to stay on and NOT go into standby. I run them for 4 months out of the year, and combo of class ds and valves the rest of the time. It ...
