    *** Official Outlaw Response Thread (April Newsletter and Bass Management) ***

    Well my only problem is that I had intended to insert an ICBM between my SACD player and the 950 if AFTER LISTENING it seemed necessary. The nondefeatable, fixed 80hz bass summing on the 950 negates that strategy. At this point I do not know if I would have needed it but it seemed like really...

    *** Official Outlaw Response Thread (April Newsletter and Bass Management) ***

    So from my understanding here, if I wanted the flexibility of an ICBM between my SACD player and the 950 I would be wasting my money? The message did nothing to clear this question up for me.

    950 beta testers, confirm my bass mgmnt setup

    Robert, My comments are mostly based upon the various and varying information that has been released. Unfortunately, for the vast majority of us, that is all that is possible at this point in time. It was not aimed at you or anyone in particular. I wish my comments were based upon experience...

    Refurbished Marantz 0; Defects 2

    I would not plug any amp into an outlet, switched or unswitched on the back of a pre/pro or receiver. The current draw is most likely why that fuse blew.

    Remote trigger help

    Brian, I use a Monster HTS-3000 and have used a 12V DC wallwart hooked to an x-10 module and also a 12V DC trigger receiver output to turn on the switched and switched/timed outlets on my HTS-3000. From reading the HTS-2500 manual on the web it appears that the HTS-2500 operates the same way...

    Poll: How many believe cables can sound different?

    Cables with directional markings indicate that only one end has a shield ground to act as a ground drain. I first noticed these type of cables in my car stereo days.

    S-Video Questions

    Hi Matt, I am using the Leviton QuickPort products also. However I was leary of the s-video connector. Therefore I decided to use dual runs of RG-6 coax terminated with BNC connectors , four quickport BNC connectors and two BNC-to-Svid breakout cables. I felt better about keeping everything at...

    Surge Suppressors, what do you know about them?

    The Brickwall units are non-sacrificial and work really well. They also license their technology to Adcom for their newer models (the ACE-315 and ACE-615, not the older ACE-515). You can check them out at Brickwall.

    Poll: How many believe cables can sound different?

    Like I have said before, if you do not think cables make a difference in your system, trying listening to your system without them. ;)

    Custom Patch Panels

    No these are not speaker enclosures. They will be patch panels for connections coming into, between and out of the components. (So there will be speaker binding posts, RCA connectors, BNC connectors, telephone and ethernet connectors, etc. on the panel). For neatness and higher WAF I decided to...

    Need new DVD player--DVD-A/SACD possible...

    I currently use the Sony NS500V. I think it sounds remarkably good when used for SACD playback, especially considering its price. The bass management on it is not the greatest but it is certainly better than the first generation Sony players.

    Custom Patch Panels

    I am going to use Leviton QuickPort switch plates and snap-in connectors attached to a piece of 1/4" oak to make two 9" x 18" patch panels. One will be installed in the wall behind the television and one will be wall mounted behind the equipment racks. I will use standard electrical boxes...
