I need some turntable guidance
@mijostyn. Your post above needs something added to it....these letters: IMHO.let me ask you, when was the last time you heard a Klimax level LP12? Or, when was the last time you heard any Linn table...Let me guess, you either have not heard a Kli... 
I need some turntable guidance
@wemfan Consider a turntable that has been at the forefront of analog for decades....the Linn LP12. You will find that this platform is not that popular anymore, simply because many folks owned the table back in the day and never had it set up cor... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
@ricred1 Thanks for the update. How do you like the new Signal cables vs. the stock REL cable?You make an interesting point about the high level vs. the low level input. I would suspect that the high level should always sound better, just as REL s... 
The best speaker for a small room...at any price point.
@jayh31  What you stated is very interesting. Perhaps it is because for some reason, I don't know why, the Joseph speakers have never really had a very large following, unlike Magico or Wilson, etc., I would question if you had bought Magico or Wi... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
A very interesting thread. Glad to see that the OP was able to finally acquire a speaker that spoke to him.Not to muddy the water, i wonder why nobody suggested a listen to some of the Sonus Faber speakers. The new SF Electa Amator 111 really is a... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
Richard, you ordered one cable or two from Signal? If you are running two subs, I would think you need two cables ( one per sub). Your post above seems to indicate that you ordered a single cable. 
How many amps do you own?

How many amps do you own?
George, you might be surprised that another amp would give you a different ’flavor’ which you might equally like as much as your ’best to do the job’. IME, there are several different variations on a theme ( ss vs tube,Class A, Class AB, Class D e... 
Which stereo amp to try under $30k
Maybe look at the Jeff Rowland models. Jeff makes some terrific gear.

 @ricred1   Good move on the Signal cables. Signal make some excellent cables at very fair prices, imo.

@ricred1  BTW, replacing the stock power cord and better still, the stock connecting cable with a REL Signal cable is a BIG step up in SQ for these subs. I highly recommend the Signal cable that they will supply with the yellow and red cables summ... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
@ricred1  Richard, what made you pick the Carbon Limited vs one of the other REL Subs. The new S series seems to be where they are concentrating their line. The Carbon series isn't even on their web page, unless you do a specific search. Seems lik... 
A brief review of 15 high-end speakers on home demo including B&W, Boenicke, Magico,Wilson
Nice thread. IMO, this shows exactly why there are so many variables of opinion about the varying speaker products that are available. The OP has used his room, his taste, his electronics and his expectations to clearly determine what is best for ... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
Richard, I am not suggesting that having two subs is a negative issue. In fact, I believe that two subs is quite beneficial. The second sub allows one to not only have a sub dedicated for each channel, but also seems to help in taming various roo...

@ricred1 Al’s comment above about the balanced aspect of your amp is correct. I use both a balanced output amp ( the Rowland) and a non-balanced mono amp ( Jadis), The points that Al brought up are 100% correct with the balanced design. Nonetheles...
