Sub Woofer for Golden Ear Technolgy Triton 5
Sumiko S-9 or S-10. They are a Rel clone and ideal for music IMO. Integration is great and will make your main speaker sound bigger. I bought 2 S-10's from Paragon. They are on close out due to dropping the Sumiko name for Sonus Faber in the next ... 
Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15?
@ttocs I now have 2 of the Sumiko S-10's. Fantastic subs. Goes deeper than my Rel Storm 3 which was a great sub in its day. I too had a hum which I had to overcome. I found the fix on Rels website. It was not the cable coax in my system. I can tel... 
Finally bought my subwoofers...Sumiko S-10
Thanks for the chicken head knob idea. My Rel Storm had course & fine adjustments on the crossover points. You could get the exact same point using that system. the round knobs make it more difficult. I suspect they are put on with a set screw...

Wolf. The speakon cable is a different animal for sure. I had trouble with a hum at first. But it didn’t sound like a ground loop because it increase in volume with a volume increase of the sub. I finally found the fix on the Rel site. They sugges... 
Isolation stands: snakeoil?
I have not experimented with my TT isolation since it is a mass loaded TT which weighs about 120 lbs. For it, I borrowed Chris Brady's design which includes a sandbox at the top with legs filled with concrete which makes for a dead surface upon wh...

@ttocsWelcome  to the forum. Thanks for the info on the Sumiko S-10. FWIW, i have ordered the S-10 which should arrive Monday. Afterwards I will try to give my impressions 
Rel S3 subwoofer connection options?

Can anyone recommend a great tube preamp that also has a headphone out?
@soix I agree with the Don Sachs Preamp. I hope to get one soon as well. But HOW does one get "spousal approval"?. I'm not sure my wife has ever given approval....at least until after she hears it. I had to sneak a ScoutMaster turntable in the hou... 
Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15?
@contuzziThanks for your input. I considered the JL until I read a review wherein the reviewer said he had run dual JL's and thought the JL to be the best  for music until he got a Rel S5. Of course, that's just one man's opinion. But he had exper... 
Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15?
@loomisjohnson Thanks again. My system is music only also. And my room is similar in size except it opens to a DR . I'd like to do 2 subs but considering it is my living room, placement is not easy & WAF further complicates placement. Then the...

@loomisjohnson Thank you. One question if you please. How big is your friends room? Is he using one or 2 subs? Thanks again for your helparte 
Von Schweikert vr-4 vs Stratus GoldI
I heard the Gold I's many years back when they were popular. Bryston amplifier and maybe preamp (can't remember the pre) I was not that impressed and was thankful for my speakers. Then too, maybe it was the amp's fault. Hard to say. The room setup...

Looking to upgrade a Dynavector 20x2L on a Scoutmaster Signature
@turntablemat The Benz gets a lot of detail but is also more set-up sensitive compared to other cartridges   I'm curious what you find more set up sensitive about the Benz? Not meant as a challenge. Just curious 
Looking to upgrade a Dynavector 20x2L on a Scoutmaster Signature
@darcraverI had the Scoutmaster Sig with the 20XL and upgraded to the Benz Ebony L (1 step down from LP). It left the poor 20XL in the dust. Don't get me wrong. The 20 is a good cart for the $$$ but really no comparison to the Ebony L., much less ...
