| Use a car woofer for home audio cabinet.. any downside? The REL is not just about BASS, any sub/speaker can produce lows. The REL is special in that you hear the REL (it has a voice coil) and feel it. You will loose this magic playing around with the sub. I purchased my new driver replacement from REL ... | |
| Best suggestion for 3.1 HT possibly using my MC402 Power Amp Im perplexed? Receivers are all in one units amp/preamp/tuner. Why would you need one of those? Do you mean a Pre amp or Control center? Also, how are you going to drive 3 speakers with a 2 channel amp? As far as a great sub woofer I would look at... | |
| Copper vs Optical Fibre It offers the WORST connection and the MOST Jitter...thats why. And as you pointed out its limited in resolution and bit rate. Utility companies love them because they are light weight and 100% isolated from electrical interference. Matt M | |
| When to recap a late nineties Krell Kav 250 A. NOW!!.... These Class A rated amps run HOT!! Over this many years everything is fried on the inside (can you say brittle) LOL. Matt M | |
| Having a problem when HVAC system turns on and cuts my system off! So your running a USB connection from your computer directly to your amp (which has a built in dac)? NOT GOOD! I advise you Isolate your computer from the amp/dac by using the optical output of the motherboard (hopefully it has one) then into a DI... | |
| Grounded phono interconnects Is the stock Pro-Ject cable a 5 pin Din to RCA ? | |
| Vintage Carver Bob Carver has a few different amp designs, which ones are you referring too? (magnetic field amps, Sunfire amps, tube amplifiers) | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics I think a old pair of Mirage M1's would do the trick! Bi-Polar Design that would fill that long wall with a huge sound stage with depth too! Or some new Bi or Omni Polars.Matt M | |

| where best to spend $2-3000 upgrade dollars in my system I agree with Jadedavid, if its not broke dont FIX it! BUT this mixy patchwork of cables you have all sound different! If it were me, I would try and get some synergy going by changing cables to mainly one brand. You seem to like Kimber (neutral so... | |
| need a 75 ohm digital coax with a 90 degree right angle plug vs RCA cable Morrow audio will custom make you one and it wont cost you an arm and a leg either! http://morrowaudio.comMatt | |

Differences yes, up the game... not so sure, at this level things are different not better going from 602 to a Modwright 150se??? moving backwards imo. I would look at the pre amp to tune your systems sound as well as c... | |
| Use a car woofer for home audio cabinet.. any downside? Hello Steve, Have you called REL in Berkley CA? I would because the replacement driver for that speaker is now upgraded (beefier) and only costs around $400 (guessing). Replace with the new updated REL driver and keep your Britainia Series sub wor... | |
| Soooooooo many possibilities...! Glad to hear you like the Steelhead (thats what I meant in my other post not stingray), I’m sure Kevin Deal at Upscale audio would make you a great price on one,he sold me my chinook, if you decide in the end to buy one. The Steelhead is a phenome... | |
| Soooooooo many possibilities...! I use a Manley labs front end (Jumbo Shrimp/Chinook) with my Mac MC352 and I love the combo. Very palpable with lots of rise and decay excellent high freq extension with incredible mid range and very good low taught bass extension. I imagine a Sti... |
