| Finally bought my subwoofers...Sumiko S-10 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... | |
| Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15? @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? Look in the classifieds. There are speaker mfgs who make them for about $100. The neutrik is best for music.here's onehttps://www.audiogon.com/listings/subwoofers-rel-speakon-cable-2018-01-07-home-theaterFWIW i've never used this one but have hear... | |
| 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... | |
| Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15? @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 ... | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges @profAtmasphere gave an informative post in another thread concerning cartridge loading. I always thought loading was necessitated by the cartridge design. But this is not the case according to atmasphere. It is the stability of the phono preamp w... | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges @prof You have a nice vinyl playback system. I had the Ebony L for quite a few years and it is a fine performer. One thing I'd suggest is that you load the cartridge at 47k which is the default setting for moving magnet cartridges. I ran mine at ... | |
| Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes? I can only give you my experience which is a reflection of what I believe Koost is saying. In short its about synergy. IME, my low powered systems have sounded better. IE, I had a Conrad Johnson MF2500A (250wpc) paired with a CJ PFR preamp.It soun... |
