On another note...there is one CD I have ( a copy ) that absolutely
drives my drivers (bass) to the point of destruction...a 3/8's to 1/2
inch throw on a normal CD and with this one specific copy they are going
near one inch....even at very low volume....any ideas?

P S It blew one driver before I figured it out...a not inexpensive
repair...

if it is JUST that one CD, I would simply suggest avoiding it. Otherwise,
a subsonic filter, if your preamp has one, will address the issue if it
happens regularly. Odd that it is a CD, as I've heard that issue from LP
play more often, and that issue can be frequently traced to one of a few
factors, such as tonearm resonances, surface resonances from below the
table, or improper cartridge setup.

I never experienced that problem when I was spinning vinyl...and yeah....it
is just that one particular CD. It's weird as heck. I have a call in for
the original and for a copy to be made on another system to do some
caparison tests...

Now....in case anyone is curious....do I copy CD's? yes. once.
We go halfsies and the winner of the coin toss gets to keep the original
jacket....do I boot leg or buy such? no...


I will let you know the results of my tests and I will take a drive Monday
to go and talk to the most knowledgeable people I know at Parts Express...

they are Arum Cantus speakers, Adcom amp and pre amp....a small not so
powerful system but ideally suited for my listening environment.....
