Subwoofer RCA Interconnect recommendation
If you want something better than the cables on Amazon, I would check DH Labs.  They have two different options.  Even the most expensive model isn't crazy expensive.  If you go with speaker level connections, the Analysis Plus are relatively aff... 
Streamer/Ripper/Storage
I'm very happy with my Innuos Zen Mk3.  It has a built in cd ripper and a USB output.   
Subwoofer RCA Interconnect recommendation
I'm using cheap Mediabridge cables for LFE input (home theater only).  I'm using Analysis Plus speaker level cables for two channel. I have two REL S /510. Why are using line level instead of speaker level?   
End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance.
@steakster I know what you mean about the coffee table. My son is familiar with working in a recording studio and was convinced that I should try Dirac Live. So, we tried it. My room measured reasonably flat, so I didn't bother to buy it. At one ... 
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
@mswale Yeah, I realize that the Adcom amp is overkill, but I had it laying around, so I'm using it.  My two-channel amp is a much higher quality Coda. The Sonus Faber center speaker is actually fairly well matched to my Von Schweikert mains.  Th... 
Gustard R26 - good but not the one
@uncle_monkey I'm very happy with my R26.   I remember reading a review where the reviewer had the filter set to Slow.  That's my least favorite.  I have mine set at Fast. It doesn't sound as good on Slow. Maybe if you're system was on the bright... 
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
@carlsbad2  That's correct.  When I run 2 channel, none of the HT components are in the signal path.  My two REL subs have both speaker level and LFE line level inputs that can be used simultaneously with different gain controls for each.  When ... 
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
@carlsbad2 I should mention that you don't have to assign the HT designation to any of the inputs, so if you don't need it, you don't use it.   
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
@carlsbad2 Nice system.  I've not heard of those speakers, but they look quite interesting with four 8" woofer.   My conrad-johnson preamps had a true theatre pass through.  The front channels from the surround processor went straight through the... 
The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate?
That's awesome.  lol.   
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
@carlsbad2 yeah, they're not the best, but decent for a ceiling mounted speaker.  I forget to mention that I'm using a small Martin Logan subwoofer with the two surround speakers.  That helps some. My furniture doesn't really work with floor stan... 
Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why?
If I was looking at a speaker that I thought I might upgrade at some point, I would look at used prices to get a feel for resale value.  If they were half price and a speaker that I wanted, I'd buy used and feel like I got a bargain.  But, if ther... 
DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison
@gbmcleod I have this discussion with two of my sons that like to evaluate my stereo. I force them to listen to recordings with real acoustic instruments, horns, percussion, piano, etc.  I eventually give in and let them play their music. Some of ... 
Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs
I've played with a number of interconnects.  The DH Labs Air Matrix are nice.  I'm currently using some out-of-production silver interconnects that I bought used on eBay.  I tried other silver cables that I didn't love, but I like these. The cabl... 
Updating my streamer
@tkrtrb125 That would explain things. Thank you.
