Experience with stacked subwoofers?
@wokeuptobose  I have been dialing in my second pair of REL S/510 as a four-pack array, while I wait for delivery of the third pair. Even going from a stereo pair to a four-pack has been an amazing revelation. My wife was skeptical, but she is en... 
thinking of buying used Dynaudio contour 5.4to replace totem Forest with 2 Rel 9x ‘s.
I have Dynaudio Contour S3.4 modded with the Esotar2 tweeters found in the S5.4. They are fantastic speakers but like an amp that can produce lots of current on demand. I would also keep the subs to go with them. I used a pair of REL R-328 subs w... 
Experience with stacked subwoofers?
@lonemountain  I suppose nobody "needs" subs, but damn, they can make an huge improvement when you abandon need and go all out for want, and take the time and effort to dial them in properly. I spend the afternoon setting up the first four REL S... 
Experience with stacked subwoofers?
Well, tomorrow is my day to try dialing in my REL S/510 four-pack. I’ve watched John Hunter’s Youtube about doing that setup for a six-pack. When my dealer delivers my last pair they will send their expert on setup to help get me sorted, so I’ll s... 
Experience with stacked subwoofers?
Yeah, me too. LOL I';ve been using a stereo pair for years and they sound fantastic. I'm about to do a massive upgrade on turntable, rack and TT isolation also (I've had a windfall and plan to spend some of it on fun stuff). I'll get the six-pack... 
Experience with stacked subwoofers?
I have a pair of REL S/510, and just bought two more pair on dealer demo closeout (the S/510 were just discontinued). I will be dialing in a six-pack soon. I have a four-pack going now (which require some more tuning) and am waiting for the dealer... 
new line of REL's any body have the scoop?
The S series is discontinued. If you check the (U.S.) website you’ll see they are now marked SOLD OUT. My dealer has a S/510 six-pack line array on demo, and they are blowing those subs out at 1/2 price. One customer bought a pair. I found out th... 
Clearaudio Performance DC issue
@kerrybh Are you in the U.S.? If so, contact Musical Surroundings, the distributor for Clearaudio. They usually provide great support.  
Turntables with tone arm lift at end of play.
Stop getting drunk and falling asleep while your records play. That's the best end of record lift.   
Best Alignment Protractor?
I run two Lyra Atlas Lambda cartridges on Clearaudio 12" Universal arms. I have used the Dr Feickert and the Clearaudio [not the plastic template that ships with thier arms] in the past, but for the past two years or so I use the SMARTTractor with... 
Too much bass from my Octave V70SE
@sandrodg73 You might have better success getting your concerns addressed if you repost in the correct forum, i.e. "Amps Preamps."  
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
@lewm    High mileage cars tend to lose a little compression and therefore lose the requirement for high octane fuel. I don’t know whether this applies to Elliot’s report or not.  I drove and tracked BMWs for some years, including my favori... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
I really don’t know why I would ever need a separate mono phono-stage when I already have a great stereo phono-stage. Even if I really want to run a one channel system I can just connect one channel of my phono-stage (which happens to be a dual mo... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
@faustuss  I have stereo and mono versions of the same cartridge. Each is mounted on identical tonearms, both on the same turntable, both running through the same phono-stage. I mentioned this above, but maybe you haven't read through the entire ... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
@faustuss  mono records have been cut with stereo heads since the mid-60s, but they are reconfigured to cut a mono signal, so it's not the same thing. Using a true mono cartridge makes a big difference even with the reissues. They are cut true mon...
