Audible Illusions 3b power supply
As a previous owner of an M3A and embarrassed to say, the upgrade. The very best of luck to you.     
Subwoofer Question
@maprik What type of source program or test tone was used in the spectrum analyzed graph at the bottom of your equipment list? Did it provide a flat output say from 10HZ on up?  Does the graph display your speakers and sub-bass woofer output sim... 
Subwoofer tweaks
@mitch2  DOH!  On the other hand decoupling my subwoofers a few years ago was a tweak that I found well worth sharing with -3dB subwoofer users.   Also, I continue to recommend Velodyne's early, now twenty-two year old Digital Drive dedicated mu... 
Subwoofer tweaks
@cmach   My two DD -12 Plus rest on birch plywood dolly's with extra-soft casters. The dolly's are topped with four inch layers of dense latex foam and approximately three inch layer of closed cell old Morey Boogie board foam.  I needed to reru... 
Long Run of Speaker Cabling
The preamplifier manual seems quite pedestrian regarding functionality. On the other hand the manufacturers manual paragraph on cabling is almost alarming without making any outright suggestions. It's possible they prefer to make cabling suggest... 
Speaker choice
@starystarynite  But I couldn’t feel the speaker is not enough as the space is too huge for it. Now I have sold my speakers...   Not enough of what?   In my experience for the cost of two mid-priced off shore made 'Sub-Bass' speakers a dist... 
Experience with stacked subwoofers?
@hifidream I appreciate your ​taking the time to respond. I think I've seen that 12Hz figure somewhere. I was trying to get an idea of their output level at their claimed low frequency. By example SVS claims your SB-16's -3dB@16Hz, while Audio... 
the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile
FYI ‘Beginning Led Zeppelin’ is currently available for viewing. Billed as formally The Yardbirds I found their, take it or leave it trajectory into the music industry smartly interesting. John Paul Jones, “I loved John Bonham’s right foot so mu... 
Experience with stacked subwoofers?
@hifidream    Do you know of a published manufacturer frequency response ( ex. -xdB@xxHz ) measurement for Kinergetics SW-800's? I get led to an SW-800 User Manual residing at Hifiengine but I'm unable to log in.  
So What Let's My "Mermans" Sing?
Jeff Beck…why am I not surprised. Nice.   
Why not the piano as a reference for bass
After seeing Dick Contino I took up the Accordion. By the fifth grade the Clarinet was the only instrument open. I simply didn't practice enough and got the boot. Devastating at that age. Meh... When I got to High school Paul Jackson soon to be H... 
Why not the piano as a reference for bass
@guscreek  Interesting question. Hence, in my opinion the double bass is a more reliable reference of the bass than piano considering the how often one can hear these lower notes. One can clearly hear the purring of the double bass in jazz ensem... 
Experience with stacked subwoofers?
@lonemountain  I spend the afternoon setting up the first four REL S/510 of my six-pack line array....and damn does that sound good...and I still have some fine tweaking to work on.:) And I am an "old people."  After the ten minutes spent lo... 
Experience with stacked subwoofers?
@bobelton What is your low frequency goal? 1. The addition of the subtle extra low frequency from instruments and effects found on so many modern recordings?  2. Reinforcement of your current speakers woofers? Speaker positions are often in an ... 
Should I upgrade from REL/510 subwoofer to REL/812 subwoofer?
  @drlou77  I wouldn’t.  What are your expectations with this switch? With an actual $600 price difference you’re paying $900 for 300 more switching amp watts and a 2" larger woofer (the radiators are both 12") and a manufacture rated 1 lower -...
