| 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. | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... That is what I was thought you meant. Thanks for clarifying. | |
| REL vs Arendal subwoofer It could be. If you happened to run into a phase issue or a node issue, your only option with the REL is to physically change its location, Which could improve one problem but create or make the other worse. At least on the surface, it appears t... | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... I would put the room first, quality of the recording and then speakers third, though I am not 100% sure what you mean by the set-up. | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? The last time I measured I was hitting peaks at 119 dbc at slightly under 9' away. Most of my records are not excessively compressed so I will guess that the average continuous level is closer to 110 to 112 dbc. |
