Hello...new to this forum. I do have a question about adding an extra sub to supplement an existing 2 channel setup(preamp, amp, speakers). My preamp has a single output. I'm starting to call up modification services to add a sub-out. Is there an easy and safe alternative way on what I have right now? A friend of mine suggested to split the left channel output but I'm worried what it might do damage in the long run. I could sell the preamp and find a unit that will satisfy the purpose but I'm still going to buy the sub and cables. Can someone recommend a mod service if no way is possible?

Can anybody tell what is the better DVI-D cable choice between Tributaries and BetterCables ?

Thanks

The $1000 systems are interesting. How about a bigger budget and a bigger expectation.
Full range system either with sub or without, large room 20x20, and 2 channel or more. Should have CD and LP playback capability. Not SOTA but on the other hand, a system that is audiophile level. Possible?

Hello to All,

Home depot has a temporary, paper, accordian type of mini-blind. I used some when I built my house and had not yet put up the blinds.

I haven't tried this yet, but I soon will and will post my thoughts on the results.

Anyway, I'm thinking of getting a few (they run about 5 bucks) and painting them to match my wall color and applying a dot of velcro on the wall and blind to make for easy application and removal.

I have been using a Dell 600m laptop running Windows XP and iTunes with error correction engaged to rip cds via a Plextor PX-712 UF external USB disc drive. Everything was working flawlessly until I upgraded from iTunes v.4.9 to v.5. Thereafter, iTunes would recognize a cd but would not play it or import it.

Which would you choose and why?

Thanks for your input/help.

Now that title may sound to some of you like a stretch, but you can see the news everywhere - now that the much-demonized music industry is already demanding an even bigger piece of the Apple pie** (The iTunes Music Store royalties pie, that is) and have been basically shooting themselves in the foot since they began taking 12-year olds as hostages for megabuck suings for filling their hard drives with illegal copies of Britney Spears pop pap.
