I own a first generation 8inch Kicker Solo Baric (S8 I believe?)
These are car audio subwoofer speakers.  I believe the "Solo Baric" were engineered as a single woofer that acts more like an "isobaric speaker arrangement".  Isobaric is when you place two woofers face-to-face and mount them in the box like that.... 
I'm still mystified...
Saying "sales tax" is part of this thing is not a good example because you have sales tax with any item purchase you make locally in your own state.

Sellers like to have the asking price as low as they can to attract buyer attention and further down the ad add the additional fees that are part of the transaction. This is not unusual because there are few things that you can buy without pay...

USB is probably only to allow you to connect a USB drive or memory stick so that the TV can play back video files or audio files or view pictures. 
Serious Passive Preamp question
For a passive, I don't think that would be worth anywhere near $2200.  It's just a couple of stepped attenuators using larger "through hole" resistors.  It doesn't even have anything special, such as signal transformers like other exotic passive p... 
Audioquest Slate biwire vs Audioquest GBC single wire
The Audioquest GO-4 uses much superior copper than Slate or GBC, but it's only 4 conductors and 15awg total.  The Slate uses 8 conductors and is 13awg.

+1 chayro+1 uberwaltzMatches my views exactly! These sellers that state "paypal add 3%" are basically cheapskates. I don’t want to deal with them at all because this is a warning flag as to the type of transaction that can happen (if something goe... 
Audioquest Slate biwire vs Audioquest GBC single wire
oh, $149 is a good deal, but you can get this pricing a lot.  Lot's of people sell older Audioquest speaker wire for good pricing. 
Audioquest Slate biwire vs Audioquest GBC single wire
There's no problem with having gold-plated binding posts on amps and speakers.  Pretty much all posts are gold-plated anyways.Silver plated bananas will increase the resolution and attack of the sound.  This is good if your system is very warm/slo... 
Audioquest Slate biwire vs Audioquest GBC single wire
GBC is a 6 conductor 12awg.Slate is a 8 conductor 12awg.I suspect that Slate is going to be better because it has one 20awg Perfect Surface conductor. GBC only uses LGC long grain copper conductors. I looked at those slate bi-wire. It appears that...

Couple of things could be going on here:1. Smart TV has a variable volume for the toslink output (not likely) -- try turning on the volume on the remote.2. This Prozor does not have a good enough gain and analog output level. This is probably what... 
what did I do to my Oppo/Modwright UDP-205 ?
You will likely have to send both the power supply and the Oppo back to Dan.  When you unplug the umbilical and then re-plug.  When the metal contacts make a connection when you plug it in, it will create a spark/short.  That spark/inrush can d... 
Krell iBias or Mark Levinson 533/535H series amplifiers with Aerial Acoustics Speakers?
The Krell Chorus/Duo/Solo amps are excellent amps. Very smooth, very refined with lots of resolution. However, they are not extreme high frequency "air" amps. They would be an excellent match to the older 7B. They would definitely sound good with ... 
Furutech GTX-D Rhodium NCF Outlet
Yes.  Furutech gold-plated will be warm, with bass that is not as bight, but it does soften and roll-off the high frequencies.Furutech rhodium will have deep tight powerful bass, but it will also have a lot of resolution and attack in the high fre...
