| Best Power Cord for REL Stadium III Good suggestions from both Stanwal and Mooglie. I actually just built some 4" thick 24" wide OC705 panel traps that run from floor to ceiling in the front corners. Sealed them all the way around ala Jon Risch with soft rubber garage door weather s... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I've been steadily changing all of my cabling to SR Tesla over the past year. Started with T2 power cords on my Ayre preamp and CDP and a T3 UHC on my Krell amp. Soon afterward bought a Teslaplex (incredible bargain and should be the first purchas... | |
| Use of Power Conditioners vs. Direct into the Wall I had a licensed electrician install two 30 amp dedicated circuits using 10 gauge Romex and one 20 amp dedicated circuit using 12 gauge Romex for a total of $500. Saturday (off the clock) work for him so I got a good price. It took him about 2 hou... | |
| Loud buzz and hum in my REL subwoofer Call Sumiko. I had the same issue and the lady at Sumiko that specializes in REL products (don't recall her name) knew exactly what to do. | |

| Woofers getting workout, but no bass Madfloyd,I am considering buying a TTweights peripheral ring, so I would greatly appreciate your feedback on whether it reduced/eliminates the woofer pumping and also you perception on its effect on sound quality.Although the woofer pumping genera... | |
| Woofers getting workout, but no bass The cause of this problem is most likely very simple. Is the woofer pumping worse at the beginning of the record and then lessens as the tonearm moves toward the center of the LP. If so, the outer edge of the LP is probably not coupling with your ... | |
| Okay, Classe CA 2200 or and Ayre V -5xe amps Oops, meant to write "Acoustical treatment of the first reflection points in your room will solve this (and greatly improve imaging)." in the prior post. | |
| Okay, Classe CA 2200 or and Ayre V -5xe amps The Ayre is NOT bright, but open and truthful, so it will point out brightness in other parts of your system/room. Acoustical treatment of the first reflection points in your room I do agree that the Ayre rooms sounded poor (harsh and dead) at the... | |
| Bass trap in a difficult corner Only your ears will tell. Lately, I have been experimenting intensely with DIY panel traps and found that, in my room, one large trap (24" wide X 10' high 4" thick OC 705) was very beneficial, but when I added its mate to the opposite corner, the ... | |
| Magico Mini with REL Stentor Sub can it match? I have a REL Stadium III (equivalent to a Stentor II) and, having recently added bass traps floor-to-ceiling in the front corners, I can tell you that bass trapping is extremely important to get the big RELs to integrate well in a normal size room... | |

| REL Studio III vs. JL Audio Fathom 113 I have a REL Stadium III and have only heard the Fathom in a dealer's HT setup. More than likely, The REL will **ultimately** integrate better with your main speakers, but the Fathom will probably work better for "plug and play" and should help im... | |
| Record Cleaning Backlash I have a VPI 16.5 and use the Walker Prelude 4-step system. It is a pain in the @#$ no doubt, but you get good at it after a few tries. The VPI 16.5 is a great machine. I've never had to do anything to it since I bought it new in 1995. Works like ... | |
| Advice on adding a sub to my system Marty,I don't know anything about tubes, but I will tell you that manufacturer's recommendations for speaker placement are baselines at best. They simply can't recommend best placement for the variety of rooms that their speakers will find themsel... |
