| REL Subwoofers help As mentioned REL has specific setup instructions... they work well. The 15 click thing, though referenced in the manual, is a big ballpark. Mine cross over at about 5-6 clicks above full down. | |
| Buying speaker cables on-line: Is this advisable? The Cable Company has a sister sight called Usedcables.com as well. For the most part reasonably priced. TMR (The Music Room) sells regularly on Agon and has a generous return policy. Some other dealers sell demo gear, usually can be returned as w... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Been awhile since I posted... but I've been turning quite few great ones lately. Tonight is The Who: Who's Next. Absolute classic! And a great recording too, IMO! | |
| Game Changing Tweak Here’s the deal... and it’s simple. My industry is probably more riddled with snake oil than any other, though not quite as pricy as some of the exotic oils in the Audio Game.... here is my answer when asked if I think product x “works”. Do you fe... |
