| How to Add a Sub on a 2 Channel System? The REL sub I have is the Stadium III. It came with a high level, 30' cable that has three wires and a Neutrik Speakon connector for the sub. With my single amp, I connect a wire to each channel on the + terminals and the remaining wire to the rig... | |
| How to Add a Sub on a 2 Channel System? Rooze, I think it depends on the design of your amps, but REL recommends two subs with most bridged mono setups connected from the speaker terminals on the amp to the high level inputs on the sub, one sub on each amp. I'm assuming you have one amp... | |
| McCormack DNA-125/225 Upgrades I think the upgrades provided by SMc Audio to my DNA-2 Deluxe are an incredible value.There is more to it than just a parts and labor ratio. With the more extensive upgrades, you are essentially getting a new amplifier along with a new warranty. I... | |
| How to Add a Sub on a 2 Channel System? REL powered subs recommend using the high level input for music. There is a cable supplied with the sub that connects to the speaker binding posts on your amp. | |
| Cd players with variable output? The Granite Audio 657 has a variable output tube stage adjustable from 0-30v on the back of the player. It's ideal with my passive linestage and sounds better going through it rather than direct to the amp. Also, you can tweak the sound with vario... | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed Caveat emptor, center channels like that can be very high maintenance. Sure looks like it's worth a try though. | |
| Where are your maggies?? The Cardas room setup uses the short wall as front. From your description, it sounds like your front wall is the long wall.In either case, 10 feet is probably too far from the front wall (behind the speakers).A search came up with this site which ... | |
| Best preamp for McCormack amp The TLC-1 would be one suggestion, from what you have shared about your system goals. It has the same look as your amp and not too expensive. I have heard good things about them. No remote, if that's important. | |
| Best preamp for McCormack amp The best I have tried is the one I'm using, which is a Placette Passive. What model did you get? What is the rest of your system? Great amp! | |
| Power cord craze What should I get for $100 I agree with Stevenkc and others who recommend the SR A/C Master Coupler. In my system it was better than any DIY cord I tried and many more expensive ones. | |
| Pass X250, Classe CAM200 or... Everything I have heard about Pass X amps has been positive and it should be great with the maggies, although I have never heard one. I can say for certain my modded McCormack DNA-2 is outstanding with my 3.6s and know you would be impressed if yo... | |
| HAL-O, Isolation platforms, and tube cd players The HAL-0 dampers are working out very well in my cdp. After my suggestion, a friend also tried them in his tube preamp and was immediately impressed. They are a great value.The wall rack I made for the cdp uses two steel brackets with a 1.25" map... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player Joe, how does it work and how much does it cost? | |
| Benefits of tube sound with SS amp with tube cdp? This thread prompted me to try the cdp direct to the amp.The way it was set up before made the 1m IC too short to reach the amp or I would have tried it sooner. Bottom line is it sounds better through the Placette Passive than direct from the Gran... | |
| Benefits of tube sound with SS amp with tube cdp? Mijknarf,I think the benefits were about equal from each component, but in different ways so it's difficult to quantify. The Line 3 SE preamp was gone before I got the Granite 657 cdp, so I could not compare them together to know what that combina... |
