| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I have two REL S/812. The reason for two is mono block amps. I found the setup to be quite easy and once dialied in, the improved sound is well worth it. The only issue I have is playing the occational disk/LP that is very heavy in the low-end ... | |
| Best power cord for a preamp? I just typed "Power Cord" into search and find over 40,000 hits. Not sure why this topic is up again? The endless disscussion just goes round and round. You may as well be asking "what is the best shade of blue"? There will never be a concensu... | |
| Balanced versus single ended I am runnning Triode Audio TRX-M845 mono blocks into Acoustic Zen speakers. The exact set up that has won several "best in show" sound room awards. So I asked Triode what cable format they use. They answered they use RCA cables in every situati... | |
| High current power cables @carlsbad For the record, I run a dedicated 10 ga wire off a 20 amp breaker to a Furutech wall outlet, into a Furman power conditioner. Off this I run Puritan Ultimate power cables to my equipment. Solid silver interconnects etc.... I never cla... | |
| High current power cables @carlsbad I would never suggest you run a 26 ga power cord. I was suggesting that 12 ga wire on a 20 amp breaker is probably all the power/current that is required. My entire system draws about 3 amps when playing, regardless of the music. Pre... | |
| High current power cables If 12 ga wire can carry 20 amps or 2400 watts, and your equipment uses only a fraction of that, please explain why a bigger cable would provide any benefit. It's kind of like having a 500 HP engine in your car at the same time the maximum speed l... | |
| What size power cable? 12 ga wire can carry 20 amps, so as far as "size" goes, anything larger is simply a waste of money. There is no benefit in hooking up a cable that can provide more power than your equipment is abel to use? As for design, shielding, covering, fle... | |
| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread You dudes all need to chill. Maybe take a journey to the center of your mind. 🤣 | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @deludedaudiophile I tend to agree with you. Two examples. Here in Canada, Loblaws is the country's largest grocery chain. Similar to Safeway. Food prices have gone up and they blame increased input costs. Fair enough. Last week they release... | |
| Better sound on rainy days? We have a winner! 🤣 But I still love the original version. | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @deludedaudiophile Not sure I agree the prices come down, but for sure we get a lot more for the money? | |
| Better sound on rainy days? Rainy day, dream away, let the sun take a holiday..... Name that tune 🤣 | |
| Turn off or leave on? Just received an Esoteric K-03XD SACD Player. The manual is very clear. When not in use, turn off. Can't be more plain than that. | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? @4krowme I felt the exact same way about incuding photos. Why don't they make it easy? Well, someone gave me the steps to use ImgPile and I though it was complicated. Turns out it is only one extra step from importing directly from your comput... | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? My latest project. Vibration isolation platfoms for new tube mono blocks. Total cost $90 each. 65 pounds of dry sand Free floating top Amps arrive next week. Also built the speaker platforms. I marvel at you guys that build y... |
