| Questions about tweaking Squeezebox software That is correct; AIFF is NOT native to squeezebox. Go to the forums or check the specs on SB. | |
| Solving a 2.0 Toslink problem Check the toslink cable. That is the most likely cause of the problem. | |
| Filling Room s with Sound huh?? Maybe try again and restate your position. Thanks. | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , A couple years ago, I sent a couple powercords back to Robert Lee to be reterminated and he mentioned working on a new cable that would eliminate skin effect and sound really smooth. Are the absolute copper cables those? Maybe. I love their produc... | |

| Mint Protractor for the Classic Toneram 10.5i-SE I confirm Brf and Captain above with the measurements. I sweated this one out too on the forums and you can probably find the threads in a search. Yip made a Mint for my Classic using these specs and it has worked out great. Yes, it ends up being ... | |
| Benz Micro Wood SL - Repair or Replacement? The dyna xx2 is a great match to the Classic. If your tastes run to rock, blues, jazz it is outstanding. I think your whest phono stage will have plenty gain-- I run about 76 total. | |
| Wiring schematic for a Forte 4a Jon Soderberg at VintageAmpRepair DOT net is the guru. Check with him. He rebuilt my Forte 5 and 40 pre. He uses great parts--Nichicon, Black Gate, etc. | |
| Phono preamp comparison/Pass,Herron,Avid Hey Kennyb-- I agree that the XP15 was also one of the biggest upgrades in my system. Of course I was replacing a PS audio GCPH so it was an exponential upgrade. I have no doubt the importance of the phono stage in any system. It's a real good pla... | |
| Can You Get 1,000 WPC Out Of Regular Wall Socket? Bel Canto Ref 1000M is not rated below 2 ohm impedances. And they do better with higher impedances, 4 or above, for the least distortion.

| Recording quality by decade Watch the Dave Grohl documentary Sound City. It's a pretty good survey of how recording technology peaked in the 70s and digital did it in during the 80s and how pro tools leaves us now. Very good stuff. | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , Cardas cables are sensitive to being moved around and hooked up. They take a while to stabilize in the system even if used and broken in. I am intrigued by the JPS cables! Golden Cross does a lot I like but it does have its flaws. | |
| Anyone upgrade from a Pass XP15 to a Pass XP25 I love my XP15. I wouldn't be able to comprehend how much better the 25 would be. |
