Power cords, most effective placement:
Plug into the IEC socket. I find this to be good starting placement.Scott 
Fats Domino missing
Hooper, I agree with your sentiment. I think it appropriate to mention Fats in this forum, since it is after all, a music forum.Cheers,Scott

Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo
Amazing how strongly some (Truthseeker - funny handle...) confuse opinions with experience. I was skeptical about multiple subs. My neighbor considerately lent me his sub to pair with mine, and the reponse was better - smoother, more toneful, more... 
Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it
Warrenh and Stanhifi - Right-on! But the sub also added benefits, maybe most of the benefits, beyond simple LF response in my system. Mostly increased quality in the mid-range (sounds strange, I know) and a much better recreation of "acoustic spac... 
Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it
Redwoodgarden-Thanks for sharing your experience. I agree that the corner is best for max SPL. But, I amicably disagree with one part, or perhaps simply misunderstand-***Don't blame the corner for a one note, or boomy bass. Blame that on the reson... 
Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it
Seurat,***In the end this issue can be challenging or frustrating. Adopt the challeging view. Try a scientific approach: do some reading, make your calculations, do the necessary changes, do some music test and then report here.***Yes! There are m... 
advice for best reliable turntable
No slouch, I agree with your concern about shipping a turntable for any reason. It's a pain and source of stress. All of the tables you listed are fine, but the only ones with local support are the Consonance and Nottingham. If anything goes wrong... 
Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it
Over a week since moving the sub out of the corner, I'm comfortable with the results. Sub-bass rolls forward naturally, supporting music with confidence and setting the stage for midrange and high-frequencies to sparkle. I'm not fully satisfied wi... 
Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it
It is interesting that moving my ears (head) slightly forward or backward from my seat makes a noticable difference in bass. Room nodes are not visible, but they are very audible in my room. I also notice that the bass is much louder and boomy whe... 
Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it
I've lived with the Seismic Sub against the sidewall for a week or so. This location continues to work for me, the benefits outweigh the single drawback of lowered output. Bass quality is pretty nice now. So, do I spring for a second huge subwoofe... 
Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it
When I added a second sub (temporarily on loan from my neighbor) to the system, it was positioned in the right front corner, symetrically opposite my sub. This configuration was much smoother than the single sub, but still not good enough. Re-posi... 
Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it
Cmpromo - My sub is an Edgar Seismic Sub, 18" JBL pro driver horn-loaded exhuasting on three sides. Your problems with the REL are similar, but bigger, than mine. Programmergeek - yes, I agree with you. The uneven bass in my room was driving me cr... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
I bit the bullet, and repositioned my little horn sub in an experiment to tame uneven and boomy bass in my room. The sub was located in the left corner, behind and to the side of one of the main speakers. I moved the sub midway along the side wall... 
iron audio mat
What Raul said. I just added the AT mat to my Micro Seiki turntable, replacing a pure copper platter. The build quality of this item is beyond my expectations for a "tweek" platter mat. It is solid, not too heavy, "dead" and precisely engineered. ...
