Rel S812 fuse, AC cable, footers
Has folks here, who own the S812, tried stands/ footers under their subs with positive results?   Very unlikely since the Rel subs are meant to integrate with the floor, NOT isolate, as I thought previously. This is why they recommend Blu-Tac ... 
Listening to music I don’t particularly like
maybe I am more of an "equipmentphile" than a music lover? You are a prime example of Listening to the equipment rather than the music. And you know it. maybe its a phase. I have learned to like some music that I formerly never listened to eith... 
Subwoofer cable question
@jjss49  Thanks. But Don't be too hard on us geezers. But FWIW, by the time you get to be a geezer, self esteem is usually way down the list of priorities. AAMOF, some shed the need completely after a lifetime of assault on our self esteem.  
Subwoofer cable question
Good choice  @emiliop  You'll wonder why you waited so long after getting it set up. Also, if you haven't seen this  thread, maybe you should. might give you some tips   https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/finally-learned-subs-serve-much-la... 
Preamp recommendations for my system please
Indeed. welcome to 2021. A world where you can become the slave to the renters of most all your music needs for the price they set which is guaranteed to increase until you ditch it like the people who have ditched cable TV which used to cost $10 ...

Guys. The question was how to cooect a Rel sub. It doesn’t deserve a treatise on the inner working of the bass signal. It’s not necessarily wrong. But the op has noted, it is confusing. On a positive note, it wasn't snarky or mean spirited. So th...

Subwoofer cable question
@emiliop Then normal speaker cables go from high level out on sub to main speakers? No. You leave the main speakers connected to the amp and piggy back the subwoofer cables from the same connections There should be a red, yellow, black wires.... 
Interesting observations
Interesting story. My 1st thought is, Would you have bought a high end cable is it wasn't for it being Xmas the sale et al? That said, I'm glad you were able to hear the difference. I suspect the 2ndone was more surprise than the 1st one @ $280. C... 
Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end.
+1 @lewm  i too was hesitant about a sub. My speakers are supposedly down to 20hz. It wasn't until I added a sub that I got the bass I was looking for. My point is, just because the specs say so doesn't mean it produces it at a level that you lik... 
i need a good streaming solution with powered speakers that
I guess you just get a streamer and powered speakers and keep the CD's. I'm streaming and still have my cd's. no problem

This should not be a big surprise. The markets are pretty much monopolized by multi national companies. Their main product is $$$. That's what they do best and what they have the most interest in producing. The products they produce are merely a t...
