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... 
Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine
@lalitk The Degritter II is a great choice. And if you ever need it the customer service and support is second to none.  
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
@elliottbnewcombjr  Note that you really only need a mono switch for LPs made before 1968 or so. Mono records made after that are cut with a stereo lathe. That’s correct but not 100% correct. When mono records are cut with a stereo lathe, the ... 
KOESTSU IS BACK
Search must be broken here I guess. How many "Koetsu is back" threads do we need? This is at least the third one.  https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/koetsu-back-kind-of  
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
Before I had a mono cartridge, I definitely heard improvement engaging the mono switch on my preamp when playing mono records with my stereo cartridge. It mostly came in the form of noise reduction, but it didn't benefit in other ways like the tru...
