| Subwoofer Advice I'm a little surprised, but when someone tries to talk me out of buying something (and not trying to up sell me), I listen. If you can stretch your budget a little, give Rythmik a call. They make better subs, but you won't have the convenience o... | |
| Subwoofer Advice Please post after you get them and let us know how it goes. Feel free to PM if you have questions. | |
| Subwoofer Advice You do the same fine sir! | |
| Subwoofer Advice By the way, have you ever played around with DSP? @navyachts not so much in my main system. I've played around with it in my car and have experimented with it in Roon, but it usually ends up sounding not quite right. I've also experimented wit... | |
| Subwoofer Advice @navyachts I'm not trying to shill for SVS, I promise, but the 3000 Micro can be remotely adjusted using an app on your phone or tablet. SVS also provides wireless options if you don't want to run cables. I recommend connecting with cables if yo... | |
| Subwoofer Advice It looks like your preamp has 3 sets of outputs. The SVS Micro only has unbalanced inputs, so it would have to be from one of your RCA outputs. Other subwoofers have balanced inputs. You can get the Rythmik F12 with balanced inputs (it's an opt... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs Rogers PA-2 Phono Preamplifier I have no experience with the Rogers unit. The Herron is hard to beat in its price range. I bought a Cary Audio VT-500 about a year ago and found it to be a little more dynamic and detailed than the VTPH-2A. The VTPH-2A has moved to a second sy... | |
| Subwoofer Advice @big_greg You are right, this is a diversion, but @navyachts problem has been successfully addressed and his interest has been diverted to the subwoofer question. I am nowhere near the most intelligent person on this website, but I have been usin... | |
| Digital Reclockers are they worth the extra Effort - IMO YES Clocks are made to sync multiple digital devices, like in a recording studio. If you use one and it somehow magically improves sound quality, that's great, but that is not what they are designed to do. Most of the magic happens on the output sid... | |
| Subwoofers Maybe it's me but I find Rhythmiks site hard to navigate. Other than adding new products, I don't think they've updated their website in the many years I've been visiting it, but all the subs are listed on the front page. Click on one to get t... | |
| Subwoofers Why REL? You'll get a lot more bang for your buck, and great sound with a pair of Rythmik G25HPs. With REL you're paying at least half the price of the sub for marketing and dealer markup. With Rythmik (and other internet direct options), there... | |
| MoFi or Harbeth (used) Have a look at KEF Reference 1’s. I tried to stay away from suggesting things other than what the OP said they are considering, but here goes... This not a bad recommendation, but the KEFs might be too much speaker in a room that size. I hav... | |
| Subwoofer Advice @mijostyn That's really neat that you like going down rabbit holes in pursuit of what you consider perfection, but that doesn't sound like what the OP was asking about. | |
| Do other DACs do this? Auralic Vega Not normal. I had one and don't remember it doing that ever. | |
| Subwoofer Advice @mijostyn I understand the principle behind dual opposing drivers. There are many ways to get good sound, with some better than others. That doesn't mean all other options are "wrong". I rarely listen at loud volumes and have 4 subs. They are neve... |
