| Should I upgrade from REL/510 subwoofer to REL/812 subwoofer? I agree with the two sub approach, but if you are staying with just one sub there is no reason to move up in size unless your current sub does not have enough power for your needs. It is counter intuitive, but when you add multiple subs, because ... | |
| New cartridge vs. Re-tipped @jcarr Next, cleanliness is next to saintliness. The dirt that accumulates in the LP groove and gets transferred to the stylus tends to have a high silicon oxide content (sand), and sand's abrasive nature will significantly hasten stylus wear. ... | |
| Electronic cross-over on pre-amp out, to split signal to subwoofer and bookshelf speakers Not sure why you would use a Y connector in your set-up? At a minimum an electronic crossover will have 2 inputs and 4 outputs. Every powered sub that I have seen have both a left and a right input. You would connect your preamp outputs to the cr... | |
| Sub for 2 Channels Why are you considering changing your subwoofer? What don't you like about your current set-up? The old SVS SB4000, recently discontinued, and possibly its replacement the SB5000 can be low passed as high as 200 Hz. | |
| Subs - Installation Sounds like you are using separate components, and if you decide to use an external crossover, which I highly recommend, connection is quite simple. You connect your preamp outputs to the crossover inputs, then two of your crossover outputs will g... | |

| Class d amplification I have been using Atma-Sphere Class D to drive Wilson Tune Tots for the last year or so and will not be making any changes. | |
| Lyra Kleos or Ikeda 9TT @billb321 I appreciate the update. Thanks | |
| Lyra Kleos or Ikeda 9TT @billb321 Thanks for your response. May I ask what is the mass of your tonearm? According to my research the 9TT is a low compliance cartridge and works best with a high mass tonearm (greater than 25 grams) while the Lyra is a medium complianc... | |
| Develop a hierarchy for phono playback Since a cartridge can't tell the difference between the vibrations it creates following the record grooves from the ones that are transferred through the TT and arm, I would put TT and arm at 1 & 2 followed by the cartridge, with phono stage a... | |
| Listening Room or Components or my ears? In my experience I have never been in an untreated room that did not emphasize the upper mid’s and hi’s. You also have a room gain imbalance with the right speaker being 15’ from the side wall, which will help de-emphasize the lower frequencies on... | |
| New cartridge vs. Re-tipped @rsf507 @chayro @palasr @dwette @jcarr @mulveling Thanks everyone for your responses. They have been very helpful. | |
| New cartridge vs. Re-tipped @dwette @stringreen @nwres Gentlemen, I appreciate your responses. They have helped a lot. In this particular case I am looking at a Lyra cartridge that was re-tipped by Soundsmith. I have not talked with the seller yet, but I am assuming that ... | |
| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? Digital is supposed to be able to handle more bass than vinyl, but I’m pretty sure in reality that capability is not utilized very often. I have a few records where I have both analog and digital copies and I really don’t hear any difference in ba... | |
| Sub woofer naive question day It looks like the sub10 is designed to work best with Burchardts's active speakers. As Deep_333 states, you would connect your amps pre out to the sub10's input and then connect the sub10's output to one of Buchardt's active speakers input. |
