| Optimize Stereo Experience - NYC Studio Greetings fellow NYCer! I have spent most of the past 15 years trying the best I can to optimize my listening situations in various small apartments, so I know what you’re going through. I actually installed a murphy bed in the 2nd bedroom of my c... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Happy Birthday! Hardly any misses on King of America, a real classic. I rate it right up there with Imperial Bedroom. | |
| Mixing REL subs, great idea or terrible idea? I am not weighing in on one side or the other, but REL (and others) seem to generally advise against mixing different subs - essentially, the layperson’s explanation seems to be that because different models have different frequency responses, the... | |
| How old are you? 41, although I suspect I have ears that are twenty years older since I spent too much time playing in bands in my youth...Only got into audio in a serious way about 8 years ago, I have a long way to go! | |
| Subwoofers with current source First Watt? @imhififan, indeed, I am wondering myself if the F2-J's high output impedance is one reason this happened. But the REL's impedance is 100,000 ohms, which should produce no additional load for the F2-J? I admit I don't understand circuit design a... | |
| Subwoofers with current source First Watt? Thanks everyone for their guidance on this. I will definitely be in touch with Pass before proceeding any further with the F2-J. The SIT-3 manual explicitly states that the black terminal is ground and that it is safe to drive the inputs to subwoo... | |
| Subwoofers with current source First Watt? Thanks @cal3713. That’s good advice, I’ll check in with those guys. | |
| Subwoofers with current source First Watt? My understanding from REL’s documentation is that they are designed to be integrated with the mains using a high level connection and that is the recommended method for using them. At any rate, my preamp does not have a line out to supply the REL... | |
| Matching subwoofer I don't want to hijack OP's thread, but as an Omega user also experimenting with REL I am curious to hear how it goes, as well as what others think.My Omega XRS floorstanders are rated down to 40 hz, and in my tiny room (11' x 10' or so) I haven't... | |
| suggestion for a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A ... if such a thing exists @decooney I am comparing to an F2/J, which is an F2 modded by Nelson Pass to replace the Mosfets with power Jfets. I have an SIT-3 coming on Tuesday, after which I will be able to comment on any comparison there.Preamp is LTA MicroZOTL MZ2. | |
| suggestion for a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A ... if such a thing exists I have an Audio Analogue Puccini Settanta Rev 2.0 that compares very favorably to the class A amps I currently own (Line Magnetic, First Watt). It is by far the most euphonic solid state integrated I’ve had (others would say “colored”), extremely ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? If you like interesting fusions of Eastern and Western music, listen to Ibrahim Maalouf - 40 MelodiesYes, very much like Ibrahim Maalouf! I used to have S3NS on pretty regular rotation, haven't visited it lately, but will revisit his catalog toda... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Mathias Duplessy & the Violins of the World - Brothers of String. Really interesting fusion of Eastern and Western folk traditions, and beautifully recorded to boot.Thanks to Radio Paradise for introducing me to this! | |
| Looking for a basic streamer without a DAC, preamp, storage and all that I use a Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra; works fine and accomplishes exactly what you describe. | |
| Beyond Boutique Speakers I don't believe Louis Chochos of Omega Speaker Systems has ever had a dedicated review in Stereophile. And, as far as I know, he pretty much continues to build every pair himself to order, although he may well have some part-time help now. Seems... |
