| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? Two REL T/5x subs. They have made a night and day difference to my listening experience. | |
| Babylon sisters Great song from a great album! | |
| REL .LFE input Sorry to hear that, wish I could be more help. | |
| REL .LFE input Did you try the rca grounding suggestion from REL? I read that having the sub plugged into the same circuit as the amp can make a difference as well. | |
| Better DAC then DA1 module in McIntosh C49 without braking the bank. I have an MA8900 with the DA1 module. It’s a good DAC but I purchased a Denafrips Pontus II 12th Anniversary and a Hermes DDC and am quite pleased with the outcome. Those two best the internal DA1 by some good measure in detail, soundstage and i... | |
| REL .LFE input Have you tried this: https://relsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004649588-How-do-I-stop-my-subwoofer-from-humming- I just got two T/5x subs and got them set up no issues, that doesn’t help you but the rca trick on the webpage abo... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 +1 @gkelly. Spending a little more to get what you want is usually a good thing. I will say though that having just bought two subs I would move down the chain and split the budget to get a pair, or buy the s510 and plan on budgeting for another t... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 I just purchased a pair of REL T/5x subs, they are fantastic. I have a small listening space so the T7 or T9 would likely be a better match for you. The T7 is within your price range the T9 is about $1000 over (for a pair). The Neutrik Speakon con... | |
| Help installing SSD in Auralic Aries G2 @davelarz how did it go? | |
| Tidal or Qobuz I have subscriptions to both but use Tidal most often. I don’t notice any difference in quality for the most part. I think Jay is correct it matters which song/album you are listening to. Tidal is getting rid of MQA and replacing them with FLAC... | |
| Interesting video on cables @deep_333 I’m not quite sure how to respond to your advice. I don’t think I can take it seriously if you think that the Fritz stand mounts (I refer to them this way cause at their size they really aren’t bookshelf speakers) are dinky lil speakers... | |
| I2S cable recommendations Thanks! I’m excited to get it set up! | |
| I2S cable recommendations Thanks! That's exactly the advice I'm looking for, I just need somewhere to start. I've read exactly the same thing you did about I2S cable length so I think starting with a $7-6" cable will do the trick for now. | |
| Interesting video on cables @helomech I agree it’s not an apples to apples comparison since they are two different applications (which I think I addressed in the conversation) but I disagree that cables don’t matter. The quality of copper or silver or whatever conductive ma... | |
| Interesting video on cables @vthokie83 Thanks for all the great info. Sounds like you were on a similar path with respect to DAC/DDC decisions. I think I'm leaning more toward the Hermes but will send Alvin a message and see what he says. |
