| Stupid question Red is only positive if hooked up as positive, and if left not hooked up to anything, it's nothing at all. | |
| Vibrapods to Preludes I suppose my woofers are so small and fast the "pods" haven't confused 'em...besides, the heavy lifting of low notes is done by a REL sub that shall remain podless. | |
| Vibrapods to Preludes The reason for my thread was to see if anybody else has recently tried this "Vibrapod under the speakers" thing. Well? Has anybody? Somebody at a high end "Salon" mentioned "energy storage" as a possible issue so I've been checking the pods for ex... | |
| Cartrige for vintage Marantz TT The Audio Technica 440MLA is amazing...and you can still find one at a pretty cheap street price. | |
| Audio Research LS17 to Headphone Amp? I use an otherwise unused set of preamp outs to my headphone amp so I can control the volume with the preamp remote...am I clever or what? Call it a "variable line level signal", but do it. Do it now. | |
| Question on small bass drivers in tower speakers Well designed small woofers like the 3.75" magnesium/aluminum ones in my Silverline Preludes (second/current series woofers with slightly larger woofers than the original series) can sound amazing...d'Appolito amundo! Proper porting/box loading an... | |
| REL subwoofer selection T5 T3 or R series My REL Q150E might bt too old to mention...but I guess I just did. Another one just sold on Ebay so I guess they're around....they sound amazing...10" sealed MOSFET front firing...fast and sweet, inexpensive. | |
| Phono Preamp Recommendations I love the Cambridge 640P. It has made me a better person. | |
| Endless debate: monitor + sub vs floorstanding Room sound is the elephant in this room. One "leetle" 10" woofer in my old REL (150 watt mosfet) is plenty of bass for my hifi room...I have to keep the REL level under control or my walls would crack, but it is dialed in enough so level changes a... | |
| Endless debate: monitor + sub vs floorstanding Marburg combines florid with lurid and "I like it, it's good" (Robbie Robertson), I concur, and celebrate the lack of mirth control. | |
| Endless debate: monitor + sub vs floorstanding After trying a few different locations, my REL Q150E (ebay $150 last year...lucky score) ended up in a smallish corner created by a fireplace (fake) firing forward behind my left speaker. I put an angled Speakon plug on the signal cable and use an... | |
| Any experience with Signal Cable for REL sub? I made a REL cable with an angled Speakon...I use an angled IEC cable also as I like the REL backed into a corner. | |
| Endless debate: monitor + sub vs floorstanding Wait...I want to talk about subs! | |
| Best TT for the buck? I get no respect fot this but I recently scored a clean Linn Basik/Akito and stuck an AT440MLA in it...it works VERY well and I thought I'd just use it for a little while and replace it...but it stays! In your price range for sure. | |
| Endless debate: monitor + sub vs floorstanding Forget all the previous suggestions and get a large room with Magico Q5s and Boulder amps. Otherwise a used REL sub...I've had all the above mentioned options (except the Magico/Boulder thing...I only heard that in a shop) and in the last year my ... |
