REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
Interesting Richard. I got the exact same advice from REL and then on a subsequent call was told that the LFE.1 channel takes precedence ( same as the low level connection). If it is connected via an RCA cable. The second adviser told me that i sh...

Richard, were you or were you not connecting your RCA ic to your preamp from your REL at the low level connection (LFE connection)? Because if you were, you are now activating your low level connect ( pushing signal as well as establishing a groun...

Richard, Clearly the best ( and maybe the only way) to hook-up the sub to your particular amp is to have Jeff install a ground connector ( like he did for me). This is a sure fire way to success. Since you like the low level connection, maybe send...

Richard, I would defer to Al’s points..and therefore not implement my suggestion. OTOH, Al do you have any idea as to why my balanced JR model 8T has no issues when connected in the manner that i suggested? ( which also was the way that REL had su...

Richard, I think if you always have your RCA ic connected to your preamp, then you are always listening to the low level connection...by default. I am under the impression that the connection to the low level input is done by inserting the RCA ic ... 
Mapleshade...where's the love?
While I will agree that their artists are not very well known, I don’t think that some of their music..or their musicianship is not enjoyable. Then we add the extremely impressive SQ...and I still think they are a winner.

@soundermn   Don't worry, be happy. ;0) 
Help with Sonus Faber Extrema issue
Winston, the amp could still be the problem...if you are still connected to the same mono bloc..If not, then I would definitely suspect the x-over. Probably one of the x-over parts is getting hot and is therefore acting up. Once it cools, you are ...

@mijostyn Mike, you state that you have no experience with the Kiseki Purple Heart and the Sound Smiths, and so you don’t comment on them; yet you also have no experience with a non-vintage Linn LP12, BUT you think it is ok to comment on the Linn?... 
Anybody play any musical instruments...........
Ex-pro guitar teacher. Still play six days a week and enjoy every minute of it. Mainly play Blues and Rock ( ala Robin Trower and SRV). 
A civil discussion about the state of Audio Research
In this day and age, most folks believe that bigger is better..and that more costly is worth more. ARC ( under World of Mcintosh) are a smaller entity owned by a bigger conglomerate...this is what the public has endorsed and respects. Remember, wh...

@rauliruegas  You have posted a number of interesting and on point posts in the past. Unfortunately, this time your point about the LP12 is not accurate. Once again, we have someone who has not heard a new version of the table extrapolating about ...

@mijostyn Mike, i’m not trying to insult you, instead I am trying to stop you from disseminating bad/incorrect information in regards to the Linn turntable. The fact that you have not heard a new/recent version and are relying on past experience, ...

@mijostyn  Seriously!! You now post what you did to your poor Linn (decades ago) and expect us to believe that anything you state from now on in has any relevance to the ( current or vintage) Linn turntable!! Folks, if this doesn't say more for so...

@jaym759 While Mike ( mijostyn) may be ok giving advice on the Kuzma platform? i wouldn’t take too much heed in what he states about other things, particularly the Linn LP12! He sure doesn’t seem to know his weakness BOOM when it comes to that tab...
