| Signal Cable REL cable vs Speakon Custom REL cable My Canare (Ebay score) is "star quad" which, as I understand it, simply means it's spiral wound to make it immune to RF...and I (among many other REL heads) think the REL, due to some "room charging" effect or something, always adds depth and a se... | |
| Signal Cable REL cable vs Speakon Custom REL cable I recently bought a single nice "biwire" Canare cable to replace another simple (read "cheap") cable I'd made...mostly out of curiosity and because the Canare looks great...stuck my spades and angled (hard to find angled Neutrik Speakon plugs...bu... | |
| Sub best at high crossover? I'm suppressing an "according to your sister" retort, and that's not easy. | |
| Sub best at high crossover? My post was supposed to be silly, and any other interpretation is strictly prohibited. I use test CD warble tones to see what my room is doing to the sound and then I mostly ignore that, but it is interesting to see where your main speakers actual... | |
| amp for Silverline minuet supreme plus? I have Silverline Preludes and use a Jolida 502p with great results...this is the 712th time I've had the opportunity to mention this. | |

| high power tube amps vs ss I suppose then that the fact that my tube amp, although a simple ultralinear design, has very little feedback and thus sounds crisp and accurate...transient impact and overall tonal accuracy seem spot on so I have no complaints. It doesn't hurt th... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Hearing issues come from sustained high levels, and unlike something like a gunshot next to your head, a short musical burst (from classical music for example) isn't going to hurt you usually...sitting next to a loud drummer might not be a good id... | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 I'm talking small changes here, and my REL isn't out of balance most of the time (never an issue with classical, rarely with jazz)...my room sounds fine, and, as I assumed I explained, it is the RARE recording that has too much low end, or some ol... | |
| Audio Research Vs115 I've had my Jolida for a relatively short time compared to the tube guitar amps I've used since 1966. In all those years of constant gigging I never had a single incident of a tube failure taking out any other part of the amp...some tubes did fail... | |
| Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers Not sure if anybody mentioned the recently passed Richie Hayward who was the Little Feat powerhouse who seemed to have 6 hands and 4 feet...he was one of the reasons Little Feat were considered by many (including me) to be the best live band in it... | |
| Wood glue method of record cleaning The Spin Clean works well. Life just seems too short to try the glue method, but then I'm old. | |
