subwoofer to digital music and movies
@ghulamr Go for the REL. Have a look at their official website and see if you can match your speakers to a recommendation on their site. Yes, they do have .LFE and stereo pair on separate connections. HT for Home Theatre subs, or up unto the S Ser... 
Best multi-purpose subwoofer
@ghulamrI use 2 REL S/3 SHO subs which are used for Hi Fi Stereo and in conjunction for movie surround sound bass. I did not want lengths of cable around the room so I used the longbow transmitters for each. These are connected to the speaker outp... 
DeoxIT on tube pins
Personally, the mechanical movement of pulling out the "appliance" (plug, tube etc) will remove the oxidation at the the areas of contact and renew the new metals to each other. Of course there are other manual or chemical ways to clean the pins/s...

3k Budget for Cartridge, Phono-Pre, and Cables - Recommendations Please

Hello DavidI do not know how long you have had your VA-BCG speakers but I feel I can give my opinion. I had the speakers on trial for three weeks and had the same amplification and analogue/digital equipment.I played our usual multi genre music an... 
Yamaha A-S801 - horrible experience
I an sure your experience was horrible. I doubt that Yamaha was the cause. Take it back to Accessories4less and ask for your money back. If it was packed properly, nothing should have come off. If refurbished properly, nothing should have failed. ...

Nature of the current used speaker market
What a myopic point of view. We regret the geniuses of the past, and their passing. But there are new ones on the rise. There are commercial people who know what current markets are. HEA is still there because there are more millionaires in this w...
