Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

flyntech, Thanks for noticing my sig! I will agree with you that audiophiles do/will fall for some hype now and again, heck, even I have. But I won't agree with the turntables/vinyl statement. Saying vinyl is hi-fi is like saying that cassets are hi-fi. An audiophile is defined as a person who likes hi-fidelity by dictionary.com. Now and LP and turntable is going to have an EXTREMELY high noise floor. Don't believe me? Go pull out a your favorite record and listen to it. As soon as you put the needle to the record what do you hear?? *Scratch* *hissssssss* You may have to call an exterminator to kill some snakes. Fidelity is defined by dictionary.com as the degree to which an electronic system accurately reproduces the sound or image of its input signal. now tell me how a scratcy record is going to faithfully reproduce the recording?? When recorded I don't think there was hissing in the microphones used to record the instruments. I know most of this delas with home audio, but home audio and car audio arn't that far removed from one another. Audioholics.com is a website much like this on, but for home audio. I highly suggest checking it out. An audiophle is a person who will be more likly to listen to a SACD than a regular CD. Paul
