REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo
@mijostyn  This is interesting.   Your speakers cross to the midrange at 500 Hz. This means your woofers carry a significant amount of midrange. Middle C is 254 Hz. Removing the bass below 100 Hz will definitely lower distortion noticeably in th... 
Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN
Interesting.  Lots of work !!  Thanks. I would want to know the technical background/engineering degrees/# of power systems design type info.  And certainly whether it was blind testing.    
Injecting one sub to Benchmark system…
@m-db  This is exactly what I did.    
Does anybody pay a pro to dial their system in?
Sorry if this has been asked, but what is your source?  Any chance the signal in is the reason?  That amp and dac are solid.    
Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12
Hey everyone.  Thanks for the advice.  Very helpful.  I ordered an F12 yesterday with the speaker level, LFE, and line in level inputs.   Since Friday, I disconnected both subs, and have been liking the base better with just the speakers (F208) - ...

Why do I need a switch?
@curiousjim Proceed with caution.  You should research the technology at multiple difference sources before you spend a bunch of money.      
Jim Gordon has Passed On...
@gregdude  Well said Greg.  Illness is not an excuse to commit crimes, kill people, let alone your mother.  He was not found insane at trial. I don't understand why society praises and highlights POS people just because they are famous or had som... 
Fee for home audition
I have run my own business for 23 years. IMO, this dealer is likely using the fee as a way to weed out customer’s who don’t have the means or intent to buy something this expensive or if the streamer requires set up for the customer by the store o... 
What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?
@blisshifi  +1 to that.  Concerts seems to either have terrible speakers, the volume is far to loud, or terrible acoustics.  We typically only go to only certain venues because they get it right.  Otherwise, why pay the several or many hundreds f...

Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align
@ratboysr    @mitch2  I am glad you liked that song.  Check out Warm Shadow by Fink as well if you have time -  the vocals are closer to the middle.  I like songs that don't have to rush into the vocals.    Good stuff.  If you ever find anything...

I would be interested to read what people think of the track Trouble's What You're In by Fink.
