Two Subs?
A kindred spirit: room correction, Tommy Emmanuel, and Frank Vignola. My Ryan Thorell archtop is one of my favorite guitars (tho it's not the Vignola model, it has a strong family resemblance). And I fully agree that when you clean up the lower re... 
Two Subs?
Rockyboy,I had the 8033s for the subs and graduated to the Dual Core from the distributors request. The 8033s was very good, but the D/C took the sound quality up many a notch. The D/C has USB and Optical SPDIF inputs and an Optical SPDIF output. ... 
Two Subs?
I use the Dspeaker Dual Core 2.0 in my 2.2speaker system. I also use it as the Dac and preamp. If you use it this way I would advise getting a good 12v dc linear or battery power supply.My 2 subs are Shelby+Kroll Woofer Monitors which are a 10" do... 
RIP Panny Plasmas
Noooooooo!We just bought our first flat screen this past winter, a Panny 55"UT50 series at Costco. The picture blew away the Samsung that I returned for it, at almost 1/2 the price. My neighbor is a big LED fan boy, and gave me a load of s#*t when... 
DSpeaker Anti-Mode 2.0
Mlman,I have one and have written about it on this forum as well as other owners have. There are threads on Audio Circle, Whats Best Forum, Audio Karma, AVS forum, and Robert E Greene (REG) Forum. The Dual Core can do many things very well and kno...

If you are going to go with a whole house surge protector, I strongly suggest you look into the Environmental Potentials EP 2050. It will run you a little more than your budget, but it is more than a simple surge protector. It will also send the n... 
Power Conditioner Recommendation Requested
Heigfman,Earlier I wrote,figure out how much electricity the 590ax draws.What I should have said was to measure the amount of electricity your system uses. 
Power Conditioner Recommendation Requested
Here's an idea,1) figure out how much electricity the 590ax draws. You can do this by picking up a Kill-A-Watt EZ at H-Depot for $30.2) Pick up an Ultra Isolation Transformer on eBay that is about twice the wattage or VA that you will need. Cost d... 
CD Tweeks...Improve Ripped SQ?
Rodge827,I reread this thread again and I noticed, including me, no one asked you if you ran the test and listened for any differences.So I will ask now, did you?No I haven't ripped and compared an untreated to treated disc.Fact is I have never ri... 
Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000
Had the Crimson cable and replaced them with DNM Speaker cables. If you have an amp with negative feedback get the HFTN add on for speaker cables, end your search and start to be moved by the music!

IsoTek and Audio Prism System Enhancers CD
I use the IsoTek disc...forgot to mention that. 
IsoTek and Audio Prism System Enhancers CD
Great disc to cut the time needed in half for running in new gear and cables. Like Jedinite24 I run mine on a regular basis for system maintenance and after the system has not been used for a while. Great for exercising new speaker drivers, got my... 
Questionable Estate Auction practice
I grew up working in estate auctions where child labor laws were severely subverted! I didn't complain much since the auction company was responsible for everything else in my life! The laws governing auctions can vary from state to state and town...
