Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore?
Great discussion!! You guys sent me looking through some of my older gear and i dug up a Pioneer Series 20 D 23 4 way crossover I bought years ago. My thinking then was to construct a speaker system using Kenwood LO-7M amps for the subs and 3 othe... 
Regarding prev discussion "Does your CD player not play all the way to the end of the cd?
lowrider57, the two CDPs in question are a recently serviced California Audio Labs and a brand new Marantz ND8006 Network CDP. The trouble comes from long playing discs. I thought maybe a stand alone transport would provide the stability that seem... 
Does your CD player not play all the way to the end of the album?
Tanks solx2, I needed that...... Yes, elizabeth7, they are longer cds. The odd thing is I have an older Samsung Blu Ray player that doesn't have any problems with them at all.  
Does your CD player not play all the way to the end of the album?
Elizabeth7, i can understand that issue on my older CD player, but the Marantz isn't a month old and still does it. I agree it must be a mechanical issue though.

If you had $1,400 , A TTable thing
Thanks for the reply. Am putting it on an AR-ES1 with a Sumiko MMT arm and a Merrill subcarriage. Have not run it since the Merrill was added. It replaces an old Grado cart that was well regarded in its day. This is my idea of a low dough show.......

Did you repair it yourself, or send it out? If you sent it out, who to? Thanks for the reply. 
What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles?
First, thanks to three_easy_payments for re-kindling my affection for Crack The Sky. The Youtube videos are off the hook! Just ordered 2 copies of For Catherine. If you are from the Chicago area, Mr. Blotto is no stranger to you. They usually head... 
Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings
melm233 posts07-13-2018 10:51amI also have a VPI with an older acrylic-lead platter that I wouldn’t change. So I opted for a 2.5 lb. 3rd party ring. It is a TTW ring; they’re out of business now, but there's still a reasonably priced vendor....

Can you add vinyl to the Bluesound Vault 2, and if so, how? 
Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
Recently, my Precision Fidelity M7-A returned from the dead and immediately reconvinced me why I bought it in the first place-it just sings. Got it paired up with a pair of Silverline Audio SR11s', being pushed by an AR SP14 and a California Audio... 
Spatial Audio speakers sound best with Solid state or tube amps. If so, which models?
A pair of Silverline SR 11s' driven by  an AR SP14, Mark Levinson No. 311, and a Velodyne Digital Drive 10. Bought the SR 11s' here on AG, and got stiffed by the seller. Didn't have a system to test them with when they first came in, and didn't ha...

fr8dog, was the Class D Audio SDS-250 the only model available when you bought? Just wondering why you didn't get the SDS-500? And, did you buy a kit or a complete amp with case?
