Rel sub
I meant to say Neutrik CONNECTORS, there are inferior fakes out there.  
Rel sub
Also, I run only a single signal wire out, hot to positive on amps, ground to chassis. With two signal wires, to both positive and negative binding posts I get excessive output, read about this in owners manual and/or forums. And, I run a set of d... 
Who Gets Left Out?
Subs and amps into wall, and I've tried conditioners from PS Audio, Audience, Shunyata, Audioquest, and my present BPT 3.5 Sig (modded), all impact transients to some degree.  Now, I will say the Furutech Flux-50 NCF  I run on 845SET amp is the on... 
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
In regard to artist's remuneration. The most popular artists do just fine between streaming royalties and concert dates. The obscure and/or unknown artists likely do better with streaming vs. hard copy. For one they get far more exposure via strea... 
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
Never need to play those cd's again, and if you want to play them rip them to hard drive, play over streaming setup. I have well over 3K cd's that I ripped to NAS. And I'd bet on those rips played over your local network will sound better than pla... 
Rel sub
Just get a second REL sub, I have monoblocks and researched the issue of a single sub, not good for REL subs or any subs for that matter. My present setup with the two REL subs provides me with most coherent low bass I've yet experienced. This vs.... 
Those magical days when the HVAC is off
@carlsbad2 correct. Just turning off AC, what about all the other contaminating electrical devices still running in your home, all of it continuing to contaminate AC. And then think about the entire AC grid, we increasingly live in a 24 hour world... 
so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled.
As another person posted, they mostly treat upper bass, lower mids. Lowest bass registers extremely long wave length, hard to trap. At one point I had 2 21"tube traps stacked in both front corners, single 16" in back corners, These were fairly eff... 
Those magical days when the HVAC is off
@ostemo8 I didn't mean to hijack thread from your electrical concerns to the noise issue, AC quality is an important issue, its just that its common to see threads attendant to electrical noise on AC grid and or home AC, I see very few threads on ... 
Those magical days when the HVAC is off
The lowest ambient noise levels I can achieve in listening room is low 30's on quiet nights, this living on relatively quiet street, traffic is the worst for ambient noise levels. Daytime 50's and above. I can only imagine what I'd hear with somet... 
Those magical days when the HVAC is off
People assume its only quality of power impacting the audio systems when in fact its just as likely or more likely ambient noise levels are being affected. Furnaces/AC add both mechanical and air movement noise in your listening room. To what exte... 
Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion
Wifi downstream better.   The two switches you're running are weak link in your setup, optimizing your optical downstream from those noisy switches is somewhat futile. A single switch in your audio streaming setup preferable to running two, and ... 
Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion
Cleaning up LAN worthwhile, I use JCAT net xe, again powered by Uptone JS-2 with the Mundorf DC cable. Upgrading both LAN and optical conversion not redundant. I should also add the Mundorf diy DC cables made a far larger difference than I was ex... 
Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion
I've tried myriad streaming setups, present OpticalRendu, OpticalModule, OR powered by JCAT Optimo ATX, OM by Uptone JS2, AfterDark optical cable, Mundorf silver/gold DC cables, Finisar 1475 in both. Optimizing every single little thing in streami...
