| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers @ricred1 If you are not connecting the black wire, I would be concerned that you are not grounding the sub. I connect my subs with the red and yellow summed to the red output per amp and the black to the black output per amp. This is with dual sub... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers @ricred1 By summing the red and yellow wires together and using the black wire to negative you are only getting the signal from one channel of your amp. This is the way that I connect my dual subs...one per channel! But if you connect just one s... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers @ricred1 I think the blend is where it’s all at. The fact that the subs take their signal directly from the amp in the high level set up is what has distinguished REL’s for me over the years. REL used to claim that this was allowing the sub to m... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers @ricred1 So, REL are suggesting that you run a ic from your LFE on the sub to your preamp? I guess that would ground the sub, but I wonder if you also wouldn't potentially create a ground loop? As I stated before, the ground connection that Jeff... | |
| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing @mozartfan, Maybe you could explain why you continue placing blame at the Jadis’ amps feet, when you keep on describing other gear in your system that is failing...or has failed, ie the acquisition of the Marantz preamp. ( which BTW, I doubt would... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers In the past whenever I have contacted REL, i have done so via e.mail. They have always responded fairly quickly to all of my inquiries and questions.The addition of another REL should give you a nice boost in SQ, albeit with a lot more set up time... | |
| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? Your Primare should be adequate. Barely, lol,i was using a Hafler ss amp, can’t remember the version, but it was his biggest model. Didn’t sound that great, but we are talking back in the day. | |
| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? This thread is timely. I just replaced one of my PS audio cords with one from Dave C at Zen Wave. Dave’s PL11 with the Furutech NCF plugs is a cord that I can highly recommend. Compared to my old PS audio, or the various Synergistic pc’s or Cardas... | |
| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? Owned Maggie’s back in the day. They tend to give one audio nervosa! The positioning of the panels is always crucial...and they were very difficult to drive. I always felt that they really couldn’t push much air and were somewhat restricted when i... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers @ricred1 I’m not so sure that the compatibility issue with REL subs and balanced differential amps isn’t well documented. There are quite a few posts on this forum and others about the issue. REL themselves now has a helpful video on their web s... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers I own a JR model 8T. I had the same type of issues as you. Having contacted REL, I was told to hook up the system essentially the same way, yellow on the positive left, red on the positive right and the black to the negative ( neutral) of the red ... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @smodtactical. The small Carmel 2’s are an interesting design, not sure that they would be extended enough in the lows for me, but I guess with added subs, they could indeed be a contender. | |
| Sonus Faber peeling leather Looking at the pics that you posted, it looks like the cause of the damage to the leather was either shipping, or vandalism. Doesn't look to me to be a factory defect. | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @latenitecity Glad that you made a choice that sounds and works well in your system. I totally understand where you are coming from in your selection. The Blackbird is a very nice TT. I think that there was no wrong answer here. Blackbird, LP12 or... | |
| Wilson v Sonus Faber @jsautter Funny that you should bring up the fact that the old Wilson tweeter was terrible ( which I agree with you 100%!). BUT we have to remember who Wilson were attempting to impress as their customer. The older guy with a very flexible walle... |
