Recently I went to purchase some good quality polyfill for some small bookshelf speakers i was building. I stopped at Good will as they sometimes have bags of it for sale. I happened to pass a bunch of used sleeping bags and noticed there was a large weight difference in identical sized bags...

yesterday I had someone auditioning a pair of speakers I was interested in selling. The speakers are a knock off of the triad silver monitors...( I was given the xovers , the cad drawings for the boxes are online and the drivers are not proprietary)...expensive but not propriatary. Sorry, I...

:)I have slowed down my trips to the goodwill lately.....now that they have taken to asking $50 for an old JVC pro logic reciever...their prices have really sky rocketed.........however, last night I stopped by there....I was looking for a usb 2 cord....and son of a gun!!! Nakamichi...

I am so ticked off at the number of people who still attempt to charge people money for a user manual for their equipment. I stumbled on to a great site the other day that provides free....no registering....giving your e mail address out etc. The only thing they ask is that if you have a manual...

I am in the process of restoring a pair of DCM timeframe TF400's. When I removed the crossover I was careful to note the color coding of the wires. In my haste I did not notice a small coil that was mounted seperatly from the main crossover. I need to know how this wires into the crossover..Here...

I am putting together a 2 channel system that includes a pair of Onkyo M504's, A Nakamichi CA-5A1, A M&K V90 sub driven ny an NHT SA2, and a pair of Triad Silver monitors. I am trying to decide between a few cd players that i own..Iv'e put them all in the system and they all sound OK...I would...

The cd changer in my truck is on the "fritz". I have 2 outlets in my dash,one is marked "power" and the other says nothing. Is there any way...and I know this sounds crazy, that I could hook up a small,(Alpine 30W x2) car amp into the power outlet in my truck and run( 2) 4 ohm coaxial speakers...

I'm almost embarrased to ask this question.....but I will anyway. I own a Sony TA 4650...It has pre outs and i am trying to connect it to an M&K V90 sub. Okay...everybody says to hook up Y connectors to the pre ins and main outs or to my wifes I pod or the dogs training collar etc. When...

I own a Sony TA-4650 int. amp that,to my ear,sounds excellent with almost any pair of decent speakers....The problem I am having is that when I switch it on or off,I get a loud "pop" through the speakers. What causes this and what can I do to avoid it? i have a number of other integrated amps...

Picked these up at S.A. for ten dollars...they sound pretty good actually. There are a lot of similar Polks in the Orion book but I can't seem to find these. 6 1/2" woofer marked "SDA CRS" Date on woofer is Aug. 1985. Rectangular dome tweeter marked "SL 2000" Ported box measuring 8 1/2"...

I recently purchased a denon poa 1500 amp. I have a pair of onkyo m504's I used to bi amp some AR's I no longer own. I have an opportunity to pick up another 1500 but i'm not sure it's build quality and reliability are on a par with the onkyo...they both sound very nice....different....but...

typical newbie questions Depending on the overall efficiency of your speakers you may want to consider buying a processor and using different amps for each channel. I have seen this done with some very mid fi integrated amps and the result was pretty impressive...You can use a larger amp for...

magnavox integrated amp Seth, I checked it out on the bench and unfortunatly it has a bad power supply and a few other defects that are going to make it impossible to repair. I tossed it yesterday but if you want pics I can dig it out and send you some.

Can anyone explain the cap on the model 33 crossover that is marked 2X2uf? It has twin leads goig to to contacts on an external 3 position attenuator and one lead on the other end going to the + post. I would like to bypass the switch entirely so perhaps someone can explain how to rewire in...

I picked up a Magnavox integrated amp for $5 at the GW today. It's an oldie. Made in Belgium. Nameplate says,"Super class AB stereo 2X40 watts.Model # FA243SL01. Internally...2 gold colored 6800 mfd caps that read "made in Germany". A really strange pot for the bass treble and balance...you...

I have a marantz 5.1 processor (DP 870) and I am running two powered subs out of the sub out using a Y adaptor. Should I be using the mono input on both subs or left on one and right on the other? Thanks!! Rick.

I was recently looking at 2 integrated amps in my ever growing collection of stuff. Neither was anything at all special...just a couple of low fi integrated amps. The first was a Pioneer SA 1050. I have been told this piece is rated at 50 watts. The second was an optonica SM3201, also rated at...

am I really getting 5.1? It shows a dts symbol on the front of the player so i guess it does decode that signal. If the movie was made using dts I assume that is the setting you would choose? Thanks for your info on the 6 channel analog setting!

I own a Toshiba SD9000 dvd player. It has connections on the rear panel for front center and surround,(rca). I currently have each of the channells connected to three seperate integrated amplifiers...oh, it has a sub connection which I have connected to my sub. It sounds great but does the dvd...

I own both of these pieces and can find little info on them. The integrated amp is rated at 80 watts and is really a sweet sounding little unit. The tuner works but I seldom use it. I'm thinking about selling them but if they are "scarce"...maybe not. Anyone know anything about these 2...
