REL Magic
Jafreeman, when I changed to SR20's in both my REL's I had to bump up the volume just a smidge to rebalance, also didn't notice any burn-in changes. I generally bump up the amperage ratings of all the high-end fuses I implement although in electro... 
REL Magic
Kalbi23, to change the mains fuse in the T7, power off the unit and remove the power cord from the IEC inlet. Directly below the IEC inlet is a small rectangular insert that is part of the IEC module. You will then notice a small recess on the top...

Sunnyboy, the mains fuse for the G1 are 5 Amp semi delay(slo-blo) 230 volts, 10 Amp semi delay(slo-blo) 115 volts.Yes the Bassline cable can be ordered on-line, Music Direct has them. Also, not sure about the G1 but my Stadium lll also has two fus... 
Best sounding, involving vinyl you own...
One of mine is a 12" single of ZZ Top Velcro Fly. The dynamics are huge and the soundstage is as open as the sky. Listening to the album release is a major let down which sounds flat, conjested and compressed as hell.Anytime I come across a 12" si... 
Great films where music is a central theme.
My favorite is the Robert Rodriguez film Road Racers which has a kick-ass soundtrack all the way through and of course his movie Desperado is a close 2nd place.

REL now offers their own upgraded cable called the Bassline which utilizes teflon coated slow-drawn high purity copper and silver solder for the connections.I haven't tried the Bassline but I do use the SR Tesla REL SPEC Resolution Reference cable... 
Alon Model 1 8" woofers blown
Hi Scott, did you get the Alon's back up and running?I just pulled my pair out of storage and am replacing the woofers as well. I bought the woofers new from Carl about a year ago. I'm also replacing the Low Pass woofer caps from the stock electro... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Los Lobos in Durango back in March. Great show and sound crew! These guys are still tight and play their songs pretty close to how they sound on their albums. Although the show was only about 90 minutes I would definitely recommend them and would ... 
How far have you gone?
Albuquerque to Durango Colorado which is 3 hours each way to audition a pair of Cabasse Farella 401 speakers. This was at North Star Leading the Way which was the North America dealer for Cabasse and Jadis at that time. Was so smitten with the 401... 
Nola Baby Grand Reference I
If there are indeed no connection designation markings or indicators on either the external crossovers or the speakers then you should definitely call Carl @ 631-738-2540. 
Nola Baby Grand Reference I
I have bi-amped my Alon 1's and Alon Lotus SE mk ll speakers with tubes on the mid/tweets and SS on the woofers with relatively good success. Assuming you will be using the internal passive crossovers on the Baby Grand's, you will need the ability... 
Alon Model 1 8" woofers blown
As a long time Alon/Nola owner including the Alon 1, I wanted to add that as mentioned your best option to retain the famed Alon 1 bass slam and balance is to get the woofers rebuilt/reconed by Miller Sound. In fact I'm fairly certain that Carl us... 
Speakers for SET 8 Watt 300B system?
If you can locate a used pair of Cabasse Farela 401's in good shape, they were/are a match made in heaven with my 8 watt/channel 300B SET amp. They needed a sub to flesh out the bottom end but the attack, purity of tone let alone sheer musicality ... 
36v, 72v active filter on AudioQuest IC
To Michael,There are some AQ splitters out there that were wired incorrectly and it sounds like you may have some. Unfortunately AQ no longer sells the splitters last I checked so your choices are to buy some used or make your own. As a longtime A... 
Attention AT150ANV owners
I am running an AT150ANV on my VPI Scout with JMW-9 Signature tonearm and it is a great match. I'm running VTF at 1.57 grams, VTA pretty much level with the record and no anti-skate. The adjustments I found that had the most influences are azimuth...
