| Pricing/selling Axiom 5.1 speaker set (v2 versions/10yrs old) It was his first post, I've never heard it but hear it's good bang for buck, no need to insult his gear 812. Solaris might be better to try Audio Circle forum they may be more familiar with your speaker, good luck | |

| Threshold SA/1 monoblocks cap issues, perhaps? Could be a combination of getting a thump, on start up and interconnects, power cables, speaker wire crossed and talking to each other. I would go through process of elimination outside of amp. Have you left amp on for long period of time to see i... | |
| Threshold SA/1 monoblocks cap issues, perhaps? I had a pair of McCormack DNA rev a monoblocks years ago that did exactly what you described. It all started when a speaker connection came lose and and was grounded and blew a fuse. I replaced fuse. From then on it made a loud thump when turned o... | |
| I need bass Cheap old tweek that is not a subtle difference is to put morlite caulk rope on speaker basket. Put it on heavy on driver basket and tweeter, certainly if it is stamped metal basket even heavy basket will benefit. Also using it as a gasket for a t... | |

| What cart should I go for I had audioquest PT -9 tonearm same as Jelco 750 matched with Soundsmith Zephr that sounded really good together. Don't know how heavy your counterweight is but with pt9 and zephyr the weight was having to ride to far back on end stub for my likin... | |
| Any way I could have damaged my speakers? That's what I do change inputs, speaker wire I shut it down | |
| Any way I could have damaged my speakers? I ride and am not scared to fly through traffic but I'm terrified to tighten a rectifier or power tube socket with a screwdriver or dental pick, I don't know how to drain a cap. I always hear people use the term lethal power in the cap. Glad you d... | |
