How do you know when a stereo sounds good?

Best Way to Split Amplifier Output Frequencies to Main Speakers and Subwoofer
Does your receiver have preamp outputs and power amp inputs? Make and model would be helpful.  
Bought the wrong subwoofer!
The original ozzy(5300 posts) speaks the truth. Time for you non-believers to give it a try!! 👂👂  
AVR in a HT Bypass setup
Trinnov Audio #1, Anthem #2. Enjoy the music!  
Convert 3-pin to 4-pin XLR?
Thanks, I got a chuckle. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!  
Tannoy Definition Subwoofer
No real specifications listed. I'm suspicious and would not purchase them. Look at Martin Logan BalancedForce subs.  
Arcam 850 fault code
Arcam equipment is quite sophisticated and likely not an easy fix. The code means dc is present at a level that is out of tolerance. Even a top-notch tech would have a difficult time with this repair. I would contact Arcam directly for service. Go... 
What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ?
I would post video of the two different USB cables, but the cheap junk went out with the trash yesterday. It didn't even make it into the junk drawer, that how bad it was! blkwrxwgn - Grow up, learn how to communicate without swearing🐖  
Bought the wrong subwoofer!
Have you thought about buying an integrated amp with preamp outputs or separates. That's what I would do.  
Silver v Copper wire phono cable
I like silver all the way. Much better definition and attack. At least silver plated copper minimum.   
Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound
Zu Audio is by far superior, no comparison. You can understand all of the words in vocals, piano and strings are well defined. To me Tekton sounds muddy.  
Subwoofers: speaker level vs line level
Wrong answer MC. It's better running via low-level sub inputs, more very deep bass. Just ask ozzy.  
TL074 vs.TL084?
Take a look at these, depending on your application. LT1364 - Dual and Quad 70MHz, 1000V/µs Op Amps (mouser.com)  
TL074 vs.TL084?
TL074's better, new ones are 20v/us. AD827's maybe better, but I'm using LM6172's which are 3000v/us. Not available in quads I don't believe, but you can modify circuit to accommodate.  
Can one use assymetric wire gauge for speaker cable construction?
More resistance is not desirable in speaker cables. Use the heaviest gauge, don't bother with asymmetry.
