Subwoofer
The acoustics of a room limits the quality of an audio set te most. I can garantee you that most people loose a big part of the quality their system could give in a better acoustic room.It doens’t matter how expensive the audio system is, the room...

That were my first thoughts as well, but I test and compare. At the end the best results count. I have proven that it can bring subwoofers to a much higher level compared to the old fashion way of using it till 40-80hz.Most subwoofers are too slow...

I auditioned the DD18 a few years ago. The thing I liked was the integration in the room without any acoustic problems.But the instruments and voices became less focussed and bigger in proportion. We switched between on and off. That is why you ne...

These days I can set subwoofers up to 140hz and higher. This is not possible with paper cones. This makes a huge improvement for the integration.In the past I never went further than 80hz. Rel subwoofers could not even reach this level. After a ph...

For me ( born perfectionist) audio is comparing and testing.....over and over again. This part never stops. In almost 18 years of time I have done thousands of tests in sound&vision. Only to find those products who give the best results. Becau...

Í would never advice a subwoofer which is not sealed. Each single part to improve the timing is an advantage in accuracy and integration. When you use subwoofers with a 15 inch driver, you get a more natural sound. Also with more authority.@ricred...

When you still believe paper is the way to go for subwoofers, you would be a fool. To a few Velodyne owners I have proven that their subwoofers are too slow. You need to make audio understandable for many people. Shootouts and explanations why the...

Many brands still use drivers with material what is too slow. Even EQ will not solve this limitation. I also use Ultra Stillpoints, which make a huge improvement in timing and accuracy. Same about using a 100% silver interconnect. At the end each ...

In the past I have sold many Rel subwoofers. For surround I liked them, but for stereo use they were too slow. Because when we did tests in response and timing it was easy to find the limitations. For a perfectionist they are never acceptable.In t...

In the past I said: a subwoofer for stereo use is useless. But....faster subwoofers, using them till 120hz and my own developed Stealth low frequency made me think totally different about subwoofers for stereo use.But.....still most subwoofers own... 
D'Agostino Momentums (Chicago)
I auditioned the Momentums with a Wilson Audio Sasha, MIT Oracle cables and Wadia 381.Boulder I have auditioned at many shows in the last 5 years. I never was impressed.Music is all about emotion. Emotion is based on diversity in the middle freque... 
Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp
I owned 5 different Pass labs poweramp and monos. I have done many many tests with cables as well.I had many email conversations with Desmond Harington from Pass Labs about cables.But also about properties, and which properties you need regarding ... 
Subwoofer
You need to understand that a speaker can give it's lowest frequency when you play at loud volumes. When you play at normal volumes, the speaker does not go that low.Subwoofers go deeper at lower volumes, this is a big advantage. And now comes the... 
D'Agostino Momentums (Chicago)
A client of mine used it for a few weeks. I visited him once during that time. To be honest it did not convince me at all. In these price ranges you want more diversity in the middle frequencies. I missed the connection and emotion of the music. F... 
Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables?
The big advantage with Cardas and the older ones especially you never can go wrong. In the past I visited different people with Wilson Audio speakers. Many played with Krell amps and preamps. They played best with Transparent.Because the speakers ...
