Musical subwoofer under $2000
+1 @yyzsantabarbara  The KC62 was recommended to me for its speed or ability to keep up with my main speakers.  It’s the only sub I’ve tried, and I am very satisfied with it. Subjectively, I like the KC 62’s size and industrial design.  And, whi... 
Do you adjust your subwoofer
My room is for music only, not HT.  One Kef KC62 sub.   This thread has caused me to reflect.  I can say that once the optimization process is complete, it has never occurred to me make an adjustment based on a single song.  What @terry9 says mak... 
Room Correction Required
Please do keep your ear to the ground for a used 3400 or a 2170. I owned a Lyngdorf 2170 for 6 years and it is was fantastic. About 18 months ago I purchased a 3400 from a guy after he let me audition it in my room for about a week. How few 3400’... 
Added A Second Subwoofer To System
Not sure i can offer anything revelatory, but I’ve experienced variances in where I needed to set the volume knob to achieve pleasing spl and it was always due to room acoustics one way or the other. I know my tracks and the volume where they sou... 
Made the Move and Not looking back!
@carlsbad2 Is there a reason to wait till your Roon subscription expires? Go ahead and start using the free Innuos Sense app now. I had a one-year with Roon and downloaded Sense the minute it came out in summer of 2021. I never used Roon again des... 
Made the Move and Not looking back!
@carlsbad2, pretty sure he meant Roon charges for you while they take days or more to help with service outages.  He’s lamenting there is no credit for the time the service is not providing what he is paying for.  Pretty reasonable position, it se... 
Contacting EgglestonWorks
Before finding GSS speaker repair, Naim and a local speaker repair shop said the woofer was not repairable and wished us luck in finding a used woofer online to replace his. GSS didn’t break a sweat and the woofer is going on 3 years of almost da...

Your experience of moving to two subs
I completely agree that by seamlessly integrating a sub or two (or four?) the listening experience can be taken to a level that is far more difficult to achieve relying on stereo “mains” alone. With subs added, it won’t be 2-channel anymore, by de... 
Your experience of moving to two subs
@dean_palmer said “That is an opinion that is completely baseless, proven wrong consistently, and only held by insane "2-channel only" types and possibly deaf sheep herders.” I say…. Thank you making me howl. That is so freakin’ funny!  
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@gladmo Having finished your review, I’m pretty sure I will order a SDFB. Like you I am all-digital. I stream Qobuz via an Innuos Zenth Mk 3 streamer/server which has had the amazing purple fuse in it for a log time. However, unlike you, the fuse... 
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@gladmo I am so impressed with how you’ve written the review that I had to post my enthusiasm immediately. Now back to the review.  
Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?
Why no mention of Audience’s F5 cord? It’s above F3 and below Studio One and is $650. I’ve tried no Audience cords yet. However, I recently sought cord advice from a dealer who carries all of the gear I use, most of which I purchased from him. A... 
Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?
1. Energy 22 Reference Connoisseur loudspeakers that retailed for $2400 USD in 1989 in Teakwood veneer, that I scored for $500 in factory cartons. Still have but replaced them only 14 months ago. Amazing 2-way floorstanding monitors. 2. Full-blow... 
New Synergistic Master Fuse
Sorry to report to fellow Lyngdorf 3400 owners, a fuse is a no-go. Online images of the 3400 with cover off shows what looks like a normal fuse but were too grainy to zoom with clarity. I took the lid off my Lyngdorf 3400 and discovered the fuse ...
