| Worth upgrading tonearm cable? Get a Rega instead, if you sell the Linn and add the $150 you will probably be there. | |
| need recommendations for sub for music Hsu is an excellent cheaper sub. | |
| How to add a subwoofer to my system? I use RELs driven from the speaker outputs. If you adjust them properly you will not need to turn them off ; you will not know they are there if the music doesn't need them. If you can "hear" the sub it is set too high, subs should be felt and not... | |
| What is the best full range Speaker ? The first thing to do is to look at your own musical tastes and decide which areas are most important to you. If you do not have a good grasp of what you are looking for buy an excellent speaker like the Spendor SP-1, which you can pick up used fo... | |
| BEST STEP UP XFORM. for the DYNA XV 1cart There are several interesting transformers on the Joyful Japan site on eBay. Search Transformers on the home audio section. The Denon at around $1K looks good, I have been considering it myself. Bob at BobsDevices will make you anything you want, ... | |
| B&W 803S Speakers I have older 805s and they work well with REL and also older Hsu subs. | |
| Micro Seiki RX5000 They are undoubtedly good and a work of art. I was a dealer for them in the days when they were current but never carried any. Be prepared to spend a lot for one, they are quite rare and not enough of them come up to give an estimate. | |

| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound I have been using various damping devices for decades but only recently have I become aware of what the newer types could do. Using 3 small cones under a component can transform the sound. The products I use, Star Sound, have a theory that it is o... | |
| sealed vs vented subwoofers I got around to looking on the HT Shack site. I had somehow supposed this to be connected to Radio Shack. I find that it is run by Home Theater Mag. , to which I subscribe but seldom read. I had always thought it axiomatic that the requirements fo... | |
| sealed vs vented subwoofers Shadorne, I don't go to web sites to compare my subs to others. I listen to them. Have you ever had a pair of RELs in your house or did you dismiss them on the basis of some specification? Those of us who have been in audio a long time have learne... | |
| Record Clamps? The Basis clamp I had worked very well. Not cheap. | |
| sealed vs vented subwoofers You cannot ruin the lower midrange with a sub if you cross it over properly and run it at the proper level. Many people expect the sub to take the place of the woofer in their main system. I use them as a SUB woofer, to add bass below the level of... |
