| Thumper’s Mother @uncledemp I find your original post both eloquent and inspiring. Reviewing it, I would characterize it as a plea for civility when posting on the forum, especially in response to other member’s queries or comments. Your key point regarding the in... | |

| Help with high end bookshelf speakers @renosteve I think @macg19 makes a good point, not only about Harbeth, but other bass-capable stand-mount, or bookshelf speakers, their in-room response betters their specs, and the Harbeths are easy to drive— a desirable quality. @yoyoyaya... | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION A vote for the RP-9 here. I find it so quiet and smooth. Very pleasing to my ear, especially with my warmish McIntosh solid state amplifiers, now paired with my Rogue ST-100. It has the tubes and features I find useful, balance adjustable via remo... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations @kaizen28 I just deleted a lengthy post to share two thoughts, maybe three (Edit: or four). 1. You should purchase a new AV receiver, and it doesn’t have to have a preout, which will save you a lot of money. Use the Naim RCA sub/preouts as an AUX ... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pindac Thanks for the tips. @antinn When I cite your work in future, I will be sure to include the text from the foreword, p. 3 that you quote above. @whart Thank you for allowing free download of the current edition of Precision Aqueous Cleaning... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pindac Thank you for posting a link to Neil Antin‘s magnum opus. @antinn Thank you for responding to clarify specific questions with citations to your book. Generally speaking, this is a very very confusing topic for beginners such as myself, ge... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music Thanks Mike. Looks interesting. | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @panzrwagn Thank you for educating me. Then I don’t know why anyone recommends using high level I/O for integrating subs in a music system, but I swear I have read/heard the advice more than once, and it always caused me to scratch my head. I coul... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @panzrwagn and others, I think I’ve figured out why some people are recommending the high level connectors, provided that the sub has high-level out, as well. If the full range, high level, signal goes to the sub first, the sub applies a low pass ... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @m-db Thanks. I feel that I will to develop some skills along the way because despite several attempts at integrating subs, I haven’t been able to get lucky yet. And you’re right about the room ruling. I’ve got two completely different systems set... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @m-db I haven’t gotten that far yet on this go-round. In the past, I’ve placed the sub in the listening position and gone around the room to find the spot the bass was strongest. The Dayton-Amped 15” sub for the McIntosh system is headed for the #... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @erik_squires Agreed. It is not the best way to connect a subwoofer and I’m sorry I brought it up. | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @czarivey 10-4. Up to this point I have done the same. It’s that I keep hearing others say that hi-level speaker connections are better for listening to music. Which makes me wonder if I’m missing something. | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection for Music @czarivey I’m sorry, I completely misread your post to mean that you preferred to use the tape loop for your sub. @paradisecom When I’ve used speaker level inputs on the subs, I’ve connected them as you describe. However, I found the dual coil... |
