| Where to use Isolation devices Another tangent that I've found unfortunately true is the placement of third party footers under any component. Initially trying the logical route of placing feet under power supplies, transport mechanisms, etc did not always end up being the opti... | |

| Have you ever turned on your system, only to find Similar experience as Mihaitaa. I have w4s monos and was fiddling around back of one and accidentally hit the xlr/rca switch to rca (am using xlr) w/o realizing it. I actually brought the amp in for inspection (i'm local) since all of a sudden no ... | |
| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? Audioquest -- good points. Experimentation and trying are integral parts of the hobby. | |
| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? I think it's simply a personal decision. It could be based on things such as you don't want to spend any more money, or the journey has tired you and you don't want to deal with upgrading, or that you feel content enough with what you have, etc. | |
| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? 06-28-11: GloryReaching the destination is where the fun starts. The journey is like hell at times with the loss of $$$ to go backwards/sideway.disagree with the former, agree with the latter. I like the journey. It can be a $$ sucker, but it's a ... | |
| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? i haven't decided when i reach a level of inaccuracy that is acceptable, so i continue to make adjustments.MrtennisThis is how i feel as well. The problem is, I doubt I will ever find a level that is 'acceptable' for the long term. For me, it's ab... | |
| Anyone use CD tweaks I'm only digital, and only CD's, so I thought maybe it was time to treat the discs since I had pretty much tweaked everything else in my rig. I can tell you, flat out, that the Mikrosmooth / Optrix spray combo from Mapleshade is crazy good -- bett... | |
| Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps As an owner of SX-500's, I can tell you IME the amps need at least 200 hours, and more is better before they show their true colors. Make sure to leave them on 24/7 as suggested in the manual | |
| Power cable management IME there has been no difference sonically whether PC's were touching or not, and certainly didn't hear a difference if they were touching in parallel, perpendicular etc. I try to keep mine off the floor and away from speaker cables and interconne... | |
| Replaced Mid-RangeBest way to Burn-IN ??? 03-23-11: ShaunpIs it normal when you replace a mid-range for that speaker to sound a little louder than the other due to it being a new driver?IME, yes. | |
| Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak Hello, another revival of this thread. I just bought a used one, and do need to follow up with Krell Man's question of how one knows it's working? Is there any physical signs from the unit itself (ie vibration and/or sound, other than the light) o... | |
| Opinions on Mogami Cable? I just ordered a pair of 2534's from Redco. $45 shipped. Will compare to the 2549's and report any interesting findings. | |
| Shindo Preamp - Home theater bypass Glad I could help. I should add the in's don't have to be Aux, they can be any open connection. I'm currently using 'Tape Loop' on my preamp for HT bypass. | |
| Opinions on Mogami Cable? 02-01-11: Jazzgene@TholtHow did you come to the conclusion that 2534 has more shielding than a 2549?I remember reading about this issue in various places on the web, though now I can't recall where exactly. Perhaps what I meant was that, as you st... |
