Anyone know how to set up Rythmik subwoofers on an ARCAM AVE550 receiver?
I talked to an ARCAM dealer and he said there is a setting on the ARCAM.  If I select stereo direct, it will not play the subs.  If I just select stereo it will.Jim Salk and Brian Ding told me the way to hook things up is by using the LFE connecti... 
Anyone know how to set up Rythmik subwoofers on an ARCAM AVE550 receiver?
I have talked to both Brian Ding and Enrico.  They both told me to use the LFE hook up with my ARCAM and let the ARCAM DIRAC room correction handle it.  They also told me to set my ARCAM speakers as small.  Seems to me if I set them as small it mi... 
What is the least compressed signal?
This is why vinyl does not make sense to me.  Too many variables.  How much detail can you really get from a stylus making contact with a groove.   Bet you CD’s contain so much more information.  Information equals detail.  Now factor in the noise... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Michael Wollny’s Little Person.  Listen for the string bass to drop through the floor.

You really need to listen to the SALK Song3 Encore's at $6,000/pair.  They will simply blow your mind.  And no.....I do not represent or sell SALK speakers. 
I went to THE show and didn't make any friends ...
You mentioned the Monitor demo room.  Were these Monitor Audio?  If so, what model? 
SWARM / Multi subwoofer questions
You should take a look at the Rythmik subs.  If you talk to Brian the owner you will be in for a treat.  He has a doctorate in Electrical Engineering.  He is a genius.  They sell direct and put very expensive drivers and amplifiers in their subs. ... 
Streaming vs. CD
I use Tidal and I cannot tell the difference.  I hard wired my modem using CAD6 cable to my Apple TV hard wired CAD6 up the back of my receiver.  I wonder if I would hear a noticeable difference if I used a Blue Note to stream? 
Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement
I wonder why no one mentions Master Setting speakers.  I went to a Denver audio store and they demonstrated master set.  He had his speaker location taped on the floor so after moving them out of position they would go back into sync.  He demonstr...

For $6,000 buy the SALK Song3 Encore towers.  They sell direct only.  They do so in order to use expensive drivers and build great cabinets.  Problem is you will have to listen to them at a show.  Call Jim Salk and he will amaze you with his knowl... 
Where are the subs?
I agree with dbphd.  I am going to be adding a pair of F12 Rythmik subwoofers to my system to exactly the same thing.  I tried to like the REL subs, but could not hear what a lot of audiophiles claim to be incredible.  Since a REL T/9i is rated at... 
What is a lowball offer? How low is low?
When you travel outside our country you will realize other cultures barter for everything.  We are one of the few societies that are willing to pay retail.  I have purchase expensive Stickley furniture when they have had a 45% off sale.  I often a... 
How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems?
The key is to not go to audio shows.  Once you hear better you want it and have to buy it. 
Why all or most audiophiles are men?
I have thought about this too.  This is wives resent what we spend.  I think a lot of this relates to showing off your stuff to your buddies and pounding your chest to see what I have.  My stereo is better than yours.  Then your buddy buys somethi...
