| finding the weak link Add 2 REL subs. Upgrade you phono cartridge. You mind will be blown when you add 2 subs. I have a similar system to yours but with 2 subs. | |
| Near field subs I have two REL subs in my system. One in the right front corner. The other is directly left of my listening position hiding under a modern side table made out of slats of wood. So the subs are diagonal to each other and the result is absolutely in... | |
| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 @ezikl I have the 805 d3’s and am powering them with a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II. Great combo. I know some might not agree with the idea of “tuning” the sound with interconnects and speaker cables but that’s what I do and it’s a great way to ta... | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? @ishkabibil yeah I hear ya. I was in a weird mood this morning. Apologies for the sarcastic comments. It really is recording dependent. | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? @ishkabibil Thank you for your insightful and well thought out response. Very impressed with your effort and I think you should consider writing a book or starting a blog on the topic. 😘 | |

| Lyra Delos or Hana ML @nlitworld I’m seeing a Benz Micro Zebra L on eBay for $1750. Seems like a decent price. I’m a little hesitant purchasing a cart on eBay but if it’s a good price might be worth it? | |
| Lyra Delos or Hana ML @alvinnir2 😐 | |
| Lyra Delos or Hana ML @alvinnir2 if you ultimately sold the replacement Benz, what are you running now? I’m about to pull the trigger on the Benz Wood SL (replacing a Hana SL) | |
| How to identify my weakest link? @asvjerry Humorous to me that you assume I’m an old guy. Keep it up! | |
| How to identify my weakest link? @mulveling thanks for the Benz cart idea. Very interested. Oven been hoping to find a good wood option to consider. After doing some surface research the Benz Zebr L looks like a damn fine cart based on reviews. Thanks again. Appreciate the sugges... | |
| How to identify my weakest link? @avanti1960 yeah I looked at the Lyra carts. From what I’ve read, I might be better off with something a little less analytical given the speakers I’m running. @mulveling Thanks for the ideas. I think I’ll start with cables until I can decide ... |
