| Feickert Volare + Shick 9 + Hana Umami Red Thanks! I'm looking at the Zesto Andros 1.2. The deluxe is a little pricey for me right now given that I just dropped about $10k on the new analog rig. The Zestos are all beautiful and highly regarded, so Zesto is a top contender. And the Andros 1... | |
| Feickert Volare + Shick 9 + Hana Umami Red And have you ever used the Sutherland KC Vibe phonostage? I have no doubt that upgrading the Sutherland to something like a Manley would yield further appreciable results. But I think you're undervaluing the strength of the Sutherland. I've had th... | |

| PrimaLuna EVO 300 I used a voltage booster and the subs I had then worked perfectly. Without the extra voltage, most subs would make zero sound until maxed out. This is when connected to the stereo RCA sub outs. When using the Neutrik cable (REL's Blue Cable), it w... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 300 I've tried everything you mention EXCEPT the headphones, and that is an excellent idea. Will try it later this week when work lets up. I think my room is just too small for these subs. I wanted end-game subs because they'll soon move to a new, aco... |
