| REL Price Increase The stock market is not the economy Anyway I’ve been on a few audio web sites where they are adding the tariff to the price as a surcharge. Even those who assemble here but use imported components. If you are shopping for audio equipment now is ... | |
| REL Price Increase Yes they are saying they’re not absorbing all the tariff costs as they have up to this point but will now be passing some cost on to consumers. | |
| The Cable Company advice? Great experiences with the CC. Bought all my cables there after extensive in home evaluation. Compared the Shunyata Denali and Gemini 8 Power conditioners along with Gamma and Theta power cables. Preferred the Gemini with the Gamma. Compared the A... | |
| Adventures With Subwoofers @saboros Just my experience but I believe the open, transparent and natural midrange of the Harbeth C7 is easily compromised by subwoofers. This is especially true of the C7. I compared it to the Harbeth 30 and 5. It was that airy and expansive... | |
| Adventures With Subwoofers @ozzy Yes that’s been my experience. Even with a 24db slope and a low crossover the midrange transparency is compromised. Yes you get more low end but the overall presentation is warmer or darker. I also find the soundstage is slightly forward.... | |
| Adventures With Subwoofers @soix So was I. But to my ears I lost air and soundstage openness with the sub even at a 25 Hz crossover. I’m just sensitive to that area of the frequency range. Probably 60-120 Hz. Not subtle to me. I did experience a minor soundstage expansion... | |

| Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound? As the OP I wanted to let you know that I have been using a Shunyata Gemini 8 Passive Power Conditioner with a Gamma Power Cable since last year. I also compared it to the Denali but preferred the Gemini. I think this is because the Denali was an ... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? I listen to large scale classical most of the time. In all cases my volume control is set and I never change it. Highest peak is 74db. Speakers are 7’ apart. I sit 8.5’ from them. At that level soundstage locks in and detail retrieval is excellen... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Thanks to everyone who has contributed toward this topic/thread I started. It has been more successful than I could imagine. Thanks to all of you and Qobuz I have many new female artists to discover. It’s amazing how many of these artists I’ve nev... | |
| Battle of the affordables The Harbeth C7ES-XD! They disappear and deliver extremely good response for $4800 new. Most musically adept speaker I’ve ever owned. | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Katie Melua Beautiful Voice, Great Original Songs, Beautifully Recorded. Every Album a Gem. ( Except for me The House. An outlier) You will not be disappointed especially if you like a more soft, calm approach to songwriting and performing. ... | |
| Network Switches I connect my Internet to my Etherregen with a quality Blue Jeans Ethernet Cable. Then I connect the Etherregen to my Aurender N20 Streamer with a DH Labs Ethernet Cable. No need for additional switch. The sound is excellent. I have most of my ripp... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Yes, as the OP I want to thank everyone for their contributions. It’s amazing how many female artists there are that many of us have never heard sing. Quite a lot of listening to be done. Thanks to streaming most of these artists can be easily fou... |
