Any experience with Signal Cable for REL sub?


Has anyone upgraded the stock REL Speakon cable with the Signal Cable 'upgrade'? If so, how did it work out?

Thanks!

Sorry just saw your post. Nordost will make the cable to rel spec for an additional $35. They will make the rel spec for the baseline or ic but not like a shiva or vishnu power cable (bummer).

If you can swing the scratch, I highly recommend the Synergistic Research Tesla REL SPEC Reference active high level cable. Nothing, and I mean nothing can beat this cable for a downright panoramic soundstage and deep, pitch articulate bass combined with what seems like another half octave of bass extension. It also makes the blend between the REL and your main speakers absolutely seemless.

As an aside, the power cord one uses on the REL's also makes a very profound difference and the SR Tesla T3 active power cable is a very good match which solidifies the attributes of the Tesla REL SPEC Reference high level cable or another high level cable one choses to implement.

Just get rid of the stock REL high level cable...

Cheers

Hey everyone,


At first, because I wasn’t sure that my Rogue M180 mono amplifiers were not balanced at the outputs, I was using the low-level inputs to my pair of REL S/510. I didn’t want to blow up my amps! Sounded very good.


Once I finally took a chance and hooked up the high-level connector wires that were included with the subwoofers, it brought the overall musical experience (I’m a 2-channel guy) to another level.


I then for purchased a pair of Analysis Plus REL connector cables from The Cable Company. I knew that the originally included wires were way longer than I wanted them to be, but I did not want to cut them in case I ended up selling the subwoofers at some point. Also, the original wires are not  high-quality and I thought I could improve on the sound with an upgrade. While I was auditioning these, I was reminded of signal audio, a company which I had purchased products from the past. I’ve always loved Frank’s speaker and interconnect cables. One of the forum posters recommended that I give Frank’s  REL cables a try, so I purchased these, knowing that both sets of cables had a 30 day moneyback guarantee.


After hours of auditioning each set of cables, giving them each at least 100 hours of break in time, I returned the analysis plus cables. Frank’s are just better in every way. Deeper and yet more articulate bass, more three-dimensional space to the soundstage, and all the stuff that REL subwoofers are known for.


As they say, your mileage may vary, but I am a big fan of the Signal Audio REL Speakon Cables and give them my highest recommendation!
