| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @macg19 thanks for following up with Rel and asking about this! Interesting they suggest trying high level and low level too. That contradicts their own marketing, how to videos and instructions where they basically just use high level unless yo... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? Regarding longer low frequency wavelengths and room size - when I was recently testing many highly regarded and top tier speakers, with my amp, I was failing to find any speakers that clicked for me. Most sounded too thin in the upper mids to my ... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @ronboco that explanation makes perfect sense, thanks! | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @mceljo Interesting you noticed that in the Audioquest price list too…. As I am also an ultra-geek I’ve perused that guide many times, often with a sinking feeling when I see where the prices can go (Dragon Zero + Bass biwire holy crap…). That sa... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @hilde45 , back to the subject of phase, isn’t the goal to have sound from your speakers arrive at your ears at precisely the same time as the sound from your subs? And if the subs are directly beside your speakers (which is similar to the case of... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @1971gto455ho is simply applying common sense logic which I 100% agree with! I don’t get any troll vibes here but who knows I could be wrong. @1971gto455ho ‘s common sense is enough for them not to attempt a blind test between a stock power cord a... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? Hi, with respect to advice I get on these boards, I pay attention to individual advice, but I ALWAYS ultimately pay attention to consensus. I find it is the only reliable approach and it has led me to some very positive results. For example, I’d... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? When I was like 23 a bored guy in a HiFi shop, who obviously knew I couldn’t afford anything at all in the store, did a blind test with me using stock power cords, $300 cords (which blew me away at the time that they actually existed) and a cord t... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? Thanks @macg19. My amp does in fact offer RCA connections specifically for subwoofers. However Rel claims that the high level inputs are better because then the subs are in perfect sync with your speakers, as they are getting the same signal…. Als... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? Very interesting comments on the subject of adjustable phase. I was thinking that if some speakers have powered subs built in, that is the closest thing to having subs next to the speakers. | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @ohlala thanks for your perspective. Regarding the S510’s being too small for my large room and speakers, I think you are right. But, the fact that I am not feeling the need to fully energize my room with bass, and just wanting to add a bit of s... | |
| Torus vs AudioQuest Niagara Just wanted to follow up on this. After installing dedicated lines, I borrowed the Niagara 5000 one more time to compare with my Torus RM20. Here is what I found: -The Niagara 5000 still buzzes quite loudly, while the Torus is dead silent. -Both... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @hilde45 , interesting subs and delayed phase feature, but to me it sounds like in my case I shouldn’t need a delayed phase feature since the subs will be practically in the same spot as my mains. Seems to me this would be useful for when your su... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @hilde45 reading the link now, thanks | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? Thanks all - even the trolls for the amusement! Here is another interesting story which is a good analogy to the common sense that suggests that cables should have no impact. About 20 years ago I was watching the Perseid Meteor shower, inside a h... |
