| Power Cables - Third Party or OEM I believe in synergy and would want as much the same as possible. That said, I think I would start by trying different power cables, even bypassing the power conditioner so you know what your are hearing. Pretty hard to try several power conditi... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer Yes rick. I was trying to politely point that out to fred60. You are of course correct! Ken | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer Yes the REL HT’s are great. But do they have ‘high level’ inputs? This is where the 2 channel magic happens, tapping off the actual L and R amplifier outputs. BTW, this seems unique to REL, but can be done with any sub that has ‘speaker level’ ... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer Congratulations @drlou77 ! don’t be afraid to move it around to what may seem non standard positions. I first placed my REL Carbon Limiteds in the very standard, ‘just inside’ my main speakers. Looked good, sounded boomy due to reflections of ... | |
| PS audio or Moon Hi @sandrodg73, I have owned all of the PS Audio equipment and the BS models you mentioned. I agree with Jb, PS and Paul are friendly, kind, helpful and have great customer service. And it is beautiful country! But i do not think any of those ... | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer Definitely 2 REL subs. They are not really expensive relative to your other gear. 2 subs disappear and blend much more easily than one. I own two pairs of REL subs in my 2 channel systems, Carbon Specials and Carbon Limiteds. Listeners don't e... | |
| New computer for Streaming???? Old computer < dedicated (Mac mini) computer < inexpensive streamer (iFi, blue sound) = (maybe) network card < good dedicated streamer. I have had all. Now using Grimm MU1 to run roon core and stream. You don’t need roon, but I like it..... | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! @calvinj yes the studio 2 and salon 2’s do nothing wrong. I had the studio’s, and actually saw an add for someone wanting to swap his Salon 2’s for Studio’s +.$. so I rented a minivan, drove to Nashville (half way to Texas), and did the deal. ... | |

| New speaker cables recommendations sought I would look at the best Kubala Sosna cables used you can afford. Yes, @cakyol can save you a boat load of money. Or you can be happy with smooth sweet full sounding cables. (Rain or not) :) We all spend for what we appreciate. | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! Short manswer: The Streamer matters a lot. | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs any similar priced DAC Hello @seadog137, I have directly compared the Dave to my Tambaqui and easily chose the Tambaqui. but it does improve with a great preamp, and I agree wholeheartedly on the Makua w onboard Tambaqui. The volume control on the Tambaqui alone is no... | |
| New Speaker advice Hi @mattsaunders2000 , you are getting good advice @soix @ghdprentice are as usual spot on. I myself had the 3As with top Denon AVR. Then I got a fairly nice Classe amp and thought I had arrived. I upgraded my DAC, but indeed the AVR even ... | |
| Earth (isolated) ground vs. wall outlet ground. Great answers thanks. But what of the grounding posts on much equipment, including grounding blocks and common grounding of equipment I have seen mentioned? Are these only for systems with poor electrical grounding? | |
| Best Full-Function Preamplifier Hello @psnyder149 great comments on Bill at gtt audio. He is a great guy and has amazing equipment. He has commented that the Makua (and Tambaqui) are the stars of the MM lineup. Your set up is similar to one of mine, in that I had Classe amps... |
