Best monitor for bookcase ?
Isn't it ironic that one of the last places you'd want to put a "bookshelf" speaker is on a bookshelf? 
Dumb questions?
I know this thread is months old now, but on the off chance that the OP is still around I will say this: you could go with tinned bare wire. I suppose that is something of an oxymoron, but you get the idea. And I would tin with silver solder. This... 
Sumo Polaris 310 Current
Hey guys, thanks for the replies. As always, very helpful!As to the HK Sig, wouldnt they have a similar sound to the Citation 5.1/7.1? I ask because I already have those amps. You're right that they have plenty of current, but the Citations can be... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
This is easy for me:1: Subaru Impreza WRZ (hatchback)2: I'll keep my little subeeboo until it dies... And that should be quite a long time form now.... So I haven't really thought about it.3: Lotus Elise, Evora, or one of the other beeeyoutiful Lo... 
Selling dispute. Please comment.
In re: rating something one number but saying it is another ("I'm rating it a 2 but really it is a 10"). I have no problem with that. As someone mentioned above, it provides leeway in people's different interpretations. I may feel something is a 9...

"Have you tried or suggested that the two of you speak on the phone? I think email can be pretty brutal sometimes. Taking time to talk it through might help bring this back to a more even keel level. Take the emotion out of it. Discuss it 1:1 and ...

Auto spec, I don't understand, could you elaborate?I've got more replies but my head is falling fast for the pillow. I'll get back at you all tomorrow! 
Fuse burned out in shipping? ?
Ray, Zman: thanks for your responses. The Halfer DH220 is an early MOSFET SS amp. However, having never owned a tube amp, I have to admit that I've never even heard that you must have a speaker connected to all of the terminals in order to turn on... 
Subwoofer Plug
Thanks for all the replies!Hey Johnny, good idea. I want to say that my SVSs did come with a plug eons ago, but I've lost them and, anyway, I'd need three for each. These are the earliest SVS cylinder subs; they may not make anything like this any... 
Help me buy some new cables....
Damn I hate my iPad. "something" not "so,drying". I write, it says what I want, or nearly so, and as I type it changes the friggin text. I gotta turn off that so-called feature....Sorry, rant over. 
Help me buy some new cables....
Hey guys, another question. Any decently priced solid core cables out there? So,drying in my $50 price range preferably? If not it MUST be under $100. I simply won't spend more than that right now.Thanks folks, Aaron 
Help me buy some new cables....
This is interesting.... I had read that Vampire cable wasn't going to be making their CCC cables and when I checked their site before they weren't available. Now they are. Weird. Owell....For anyone interested, Vampire Wire CCC is apparently avail... 
Help me buy some new cables....
Howdy, sorry for the slow response. I lost track of this thread; my bad.I took at look at the Grover Huffman site. Very nice stuff but it seems like it is out of my current price range, unless I missed something. Admittedly I didn't comb thru it, ...

Polk, either I am misunderstanding you or you are misunderstanding me (or rather the point of my thread). I am complaining that people are doing two things: 1. Charging the buyer fees to cover costs that they themselves did NOT have to cover/pay.2... 
Fuse burned out in shipping? ?
Hey guys, thanks again for the replies. To be frank, I'm not into the amp for much money. I think it is $120 or so. Even damaged the DH220 has some value, so absolutely worst case scenario is that I overpaid for a fixer upper amp. If that was what...
