| 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... | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted Audio Note has IT 300B looks very nice. | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted Neglected to mention power supplies as a major variable and critical part of any audio component. Look at internal photos of 300B, 2a3, 45 amps, you'll see relatively large discrepancies in capacity, large, stiff ps will be more authoritive, great... | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted So many variables, difficult to have some overarching opinion. I run 845 and 300B amps, used to own 2a3 mono blocks. The 2a3 amps had this 'lit within' quality, read transparency the other SET's don't have quite as much of, but then 845 has massiv... | |
| Is It Worh Modding An Amp I modded a PL amp some years ago, film caps, Takman resistors, this along with really nice NOS tubes, especially some of the good Svetlana EL34 from back in the day were very nice improvement. Sold it at market value, still running fine to this da... | |
| Tune of the Day Slaw's Secret Sister's recommendation reminds me of another of their great songs, "Little Again." | |
| Rel thump Likely sub amp or driver issue if you haven't changed any connections. |
