SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?
I thought that the test that showed the most deviation was when he used the packing foam as the mounting device.It is my understanding that a ported cabinet is a tuned cabinet where the designer is using the cabinet vibrations and internal air pre... 
SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?
I added the SVS isolation feet to my sealed SVS SB4000 subs a few months ago. I did not experience any noticeable change in output.The reduced db output in the video has nothing to do with the feet or the flooring, it is because the ports are bein... 
More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music
 The information I found on their website is that the low pass filter doesn't apply to LFE.I could be mistaken here, but I believe that REL is using the low pass filter in LFE mode, it's just not adjustable. It is permanently set at 120hz. 
More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music
Hi Duke, thanks for the suggestion on Auralex SubDude.   I wonder how they compare to the SVS SoundPath Isolator that I just ordered.I have the SVS isolators under my SVS subs and they did help tighten up the bass a bit. My results were fairly sub... 
What 4 subwoofers to buy?
With a four sub DBA or even a three sub DBA for that matter any decent sub will work. What type of music you listen to and how loud you like it as well as room size will dictate which models would best suit your needs. Any company that manufacture...

Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered?
Hi CheegI have a lot better understanding of the issues, but am no closer to deciding whether I should buy a Dayton and cheap passives, or buy two better quality actives and save my pennies for 2 more. Maybe the answer is "it doesn't matter"It ki... 
Can I go wrong with Stillpoint Ultra Mini anti-vibration isolation feet?
I use a Townshend Audio seismic platform under my TT. Very pleased with the performance. Much tighter low end which also helped with the clarity of the mids and highs. Contemplating getting some IsoAcoustics Oreas and/or the Funk Firms boings for ... 
How long is too long for interconnects?
Since the OP has his system in his photo studio there might be more issues with noise caused by the lighting equipment. I don't know anything about photo gear but I'm guessing there will be dimmers and devices that control light flashes and what n... 
Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered?
How loud do you like to listen? Do you listen to a lot of rock and want gut thumping low end or do you prefer classical or jazz and are looking to just fill in the bottom end?With powered subs you need proximity to AC and you will need interconnec... 
Subwoofer insight.
@rgmd11You do not need measuring equipment to set up a subwoofer. Measuring equipment would make the process easier and more precise but you can do it by ear and trial and error. Specially with multiple subs.Barry Ober aka the “The Sound Doctor”Ba...

Advise on Long Phono Cable run
The interconnect cable from my TT uses balanced xlr connectors. It was wired that way at the factory. Almost all cartridges are capable of balanced output. My cartridge has a rated output of .44mV. TT is currently in a temporary location so for a ... 
10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts
I'm a bit confused. OK not that unusual in my case, but, reading the responses from the pro cables side I feel like they think that the OP is against cables. I felt that he/she/they were pro cables. I think the following paragraph from dragon1952 ...
