Building home subwoofer

I'm currently searching for a AMP/Crossover (???) to drive a sub.

The sub is a car woofer I bought when I was 19. I used it for a couple weeks. Otherwise it's been sitting for years.
It's a MTX Thunder 8000 DVC 4ohm 12" I put it in a box and plugged it in and of course it sound great. Wired it up in series and ran it through a old JVC crossover. I'd use it, however, it doesn't drown out mid/high very well.

My next step is go find a crossover and AMP to drive it.

Rega Brio amp makes loud hummig sound when touched or bumped.

HI, I'm new to this site and thought that this would be the place to ask. I have a Rega Brio amplifier with Rega Jura speakers and an old 80's Acoustic Research turntable. I use some not so high end (but decent enough) Analysis Plus Inc Clear Oval speaker wires.
Anyway the problem is that when the amplifier is touched, tapped, bumped and sometimes on it's own, it will emit a loud deep humming sound that gets progressively louder through the speakers until I give it a tap with my finger. Any suggestions on what this could be?

mp3 in your phone

I use blackberry
This is a fantastic source not only an entry level

You can easy demostrate this in this way:
Connect by usb interface to a teac wap 5000
Then it's all to connect to your amplifier with a quality notnoted to all

But not only
If you connect the optical out to a quality external dac as an harmony costing 600 euro you got mp3 at quality level of a 1500 euro cd player running with the original cd player
Not only

Pro audio amps

Ive had a desire for a while now to hook up a very high qulity pro audio amplifier with a good CD and speakers and see what the result is.

Well today I hooked up a Quad CDP with a Crown CTS 3000 and my VR3's, the result sounds absolutely fantastic. The soundstage is awesome and the bass is incredible, i need to do further listening to determine all facets of the sound but ive got no doubt that the Crown amp has woken up my system like no hifi amp ive ever heard.

Kef 104/2 questions

Hey all,

I've got the opportunity to acquire a pair of Kef 104/2's for a very good price.

I will listen to them tomorrow, and I'm wondering for those of you with experience with these speakers, what things should I look out for during the audition?

Some concerns:

1. Ferrofluid tweeters may need to be replaced as the fluid is now gel after 20 years.

2. Woofer surrounds and crossover. How do I check the crossover?

The speakers were made in the late '80s.

My receiver popped and no longer functions

Forums

I tried hooking my stereo receiver (about 15 years old but working great) to one 6" sub speaker. I connected the positives of both speaker wire outs and both of the negivatives of the speakers out and connected the positives to one side of the speaker and the negitives to the other side of the speaker. It seamed to work, but as I turned up the volume I heard a pop and then my receiver died and now it won't power on.

So, what could this be. I'd like to know so I can buy a replacement part for it cause I really like it.

Boulder 500AE power amplifier Steven Stone, November 1997

Boulder 500AE power amplifier Steven Stone, November 1997

To high-end audiophiles, the Boulder 500 amplifier and its less expensive derivative, the 500AE (Audiophile Edition), would not seem to be "high-end" designs. They are designed around op-amps (felt by many to be generally poor-sounding), they have scads of negative feedback (which is perhaps why op-amps sound bad), and they have only a moderately hefty power supply. Why, then, is <I>Stereophile</I> publishing a review of an op-amp&ndash;based power amplifier? Read on...
