    Humming Issue. Help!

    This is way beyond my comprehension, so I'm going to stop my thoughts here. He has a phono preamp, and he still wants to use the amp as a pre? Any who, just dropped in to try to give advice on the hum problem, this is way too convoluted. I'd disassemble the amp, and see if the coupler is...

    Humming Issue. Help!

    The AE Speakers only have one set of binding post for input, I fail to see how the op is converting the 4 speaker wire terminals from his amp into the speaker. Y Connectors can't cut it surely.

    Humming Issue. Help!

    Pairing subwoofer to speakers

    First, let me just say that I'm not a bass junkie. Having said that I recently connected a subwoofer from my hometheater system into my stereo system and wow, it sounded good. My system comprises a Rega Brio feeding into a pair of Kef Q350. The Q350 are warm with plenty of bass. Now on to the...

    Question Do You Run with Speaker Covers On or Off

    CD Player and the Headphone Jack

    Greetings Just wanted your opinion on CD players with a headphone output. Coming from the turntable realm, I know that isn't really ideal. Are CD players the exception? I'm assuming that the headphone jack is there because the CD player has an amplifier in it, hoping to learn more.
