That's a good cartridge. Also looking for a new one myself, going to get a Sumiko one. Other then buying new music, it's amazing how much money we can spend on all the little things. Also trying to sort out footers on my gear, so many choices! Don't want to spend more on them, than what the gear cost.
speakers and cables
this is about me being a loser and problem creator.
I finally got a 2nd subwoofer and I was excited to hook it up. Well, not too excited. I knew it would be a pain to hook it up. I was excited to hear it. I spent over 90 minutes connecting the speaker wires to my power amp. When I turned it on, the left channel was gone. It blew the fuse. I disconnected everything, replaced the fuse, hooked it up again. It worked for 10 seconds, blew the fuse again.
The way I hooked them up was I went from the sub speaker out from both subwoofers, rolled the left and right side wires together so I had 4 wires that I connected to the left and right plus and minus channels - speaker binders on the power amp. What are my options? My preamp has no sub out. Nor my amp.
Stupid question: should I just go from left to left on one sub and right to right on the other sub?

@mswale yes it’s like an animal farm, the more you have, the more it continues to cost. Kind of like when I walk into a rich person’s house, my first thought "nice but I would not want to pay the utility bills!" Since you sound like a vibration guy, how would I stack them? What would I put between the subs and the speakers? |
Still working on my vibration solution. This stuff gets stupid expensive. A little piece of metal with a few springs, $600 EACH! For the subs, you got to find a spot where they add bass, but not standing waves. A corner of the room, or in the middle of the speaker is a good starting point. I found these cheap little squares, they are under a lot of my equipment. Put them under the footers of the subs, if you stack, put them between the 2 subs as well. They work surprisingly well.

@mswale I have the foam and cork, if I just stuck it together, could that work? |
