| Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators I’ve owned and currently own PS Audio’s P300(2) and P600 AC regenerator’s and prefer the older series that utilized balanced power on the output, sounding much better than their later series IMHO in a direct comparison. One has to remember not to ... | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? I have the MIT EVO One bi-wire speaker cables in two of my systems and they are beyond what one could imagine. Image solidity down into the bass and limitless highs. A real soundstage with not only left and right imaging but back to front and heig... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander On my Alon Lotus SE mk ll speakers, I can swap between an AlNiCo magnet and a ceramic magnet on the dipole tweeter in a matter of minutes and the results are not subtle! The AlNiCo is much more refined with better definition and weight to instrume... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander @millercarbon,I got a big jump in resolution going from the stock spikes on the outboard crossovers to the Walker Audio Resonance control kit under each crossover. The solidity of each instrument in space is spooky and a real good recording just h... | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs @noromance,I agree. R8 was under speced and sticking it inside a cabinet with no air flow ensured its demise. Most failures of the ST series were solely because of R8. | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs My apologies to everyone, it is R8 that is the resistor that is the known failure point on older REL’s. | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs The best upgrade one can do for an older ST series REL is to replace the rail caps with Mundorf caps and double up the resistance wattage capacity on R7 resistor which is a known failure point on older REL's. | |
| Thiel speaker service Too bad what happened to Thiel. A perfect example of corporate america taking over a small business and turning it to garbage solely relying on the name to sell products and looking at a balance sheet instead of customer satisfaction/quality produ... | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs @wolf_garcia,The only issue I've had with my REL subs is the surround coming loose from the frame on my G2 but some heat/pressure reattached it with no issues. Of course, this driver really has some extreme excursions when played aggressively as I... | |
| Switching to battery power I have a M2 Tech Vaughn DAC that runs on battery power and disconnecting the power cord from it and running solely on a fully charged battery is a true revelation. Check it out here: https://6moons.com/audioreviews/m2tech5/3.html | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes The Tice clock. Anyone remember that one? | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs I have both a G2 and a Stadium lll and each has attributes that are unique to each. The G2 is fast enough to keep up with the 6 servo controlled woofers in my Genesis G500 speakers but I had trouble blending it with other speakers. The Stadium lll... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander @millercarbon,That's pretty much the same reactions I had when I finished with the Mundorf Silver/Gold Oil cap upgrades in my speakers. In fact, I called in sick to work that night just to sit and listen to this whole new world that was being pres... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander While I don't own a Porsche I do own an Audi TT but that's not the point. The guy that rebuilds the Powerdyne BD-11 supercharger for my S-10 ZR2 4.3l engine is a huge Porsche enthusiast. Check him out here:https://928motorsports.com/ | |
| What’s a mistake you made by being impulsive? The Krell KSA 400 integrated amp. Took it home for a weekend and it was the most amusical device I’ve ever heard. Had the famed Krell bass slam but everything was garbage. |
