| Subwoofers: speaker level vs line level Or, if continuing to bi-wire, switching to spade connectors for towers while using bananas to sub? This is exactly what I do on the amp end. Neutrik connection plugs into the sub. | |
| Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands @jimcrane I have been running Rel’s for 15-20 yrs. They sound great and integrate extremely well. No worries about performance...unless you isolate them. I wouldn't give up on them The secret is to keep the crossover point as low as possible. V... | |
| Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands @oldhvymec I understand. As I said, I was somewhat shocked when I learned this. From an engineering standpoint, it seems wrong. However, I have had them for 15-20 yrs and they sound great to me. Integrating with the speakers is very easily done ... | |

| Rel S812 fuse, AC cable, footers Has folks here, who own the S812, tried stands/ footers under their subs with positive results? Very unlikely since the Rel subs are meant to integrate with the floor, NOT isolate, as I thought previously. This is why they recommend Blu-Tac ... | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like maybe I am more of an "equipmentphile" than a music lover? You are a prime example of Listening to the equipment rather than the music. And you know it. maybe its a phase. I have learned to like some music that I formerly never listened to eith... | |
| Subwoofer cable question @jjss49 Thanks. But Don't be too hard on us geezers. But FWIW, by the time you get to be a geezer, self esteem is usually way down the list of priorities. AAMOF, some shed the need completely after a lifetime of assault on our self esteem. | |
| Subwoofer cable question Good choice @emiliop You'll wonder why you waited so long after getting it set up. Also, if you haven't seen this thread, maybe you should. might give you some tips https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/finally-learned-subs-serve-much-la... | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please Indeed. welcome to 2021. A world where you can become the slave to the renters of most all your music needs for the price they set which is guaranteed to increase until you ditch it like the people who have ditched cable TV which used to cost $10 ... | |
| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass Welcome aboard. Your header says it all.. it effects more than just deep bass. I am a Rel owner now for 15-20 yrs | |
| Subwoofer cable question Guys. The question was how to cooect a Rel sub. It doesn’t deserve a treatise on the inner working of the bass signal. It’s not necessarily wrong. But the op has noted, it is confusing. On a positive note, it wasn't snarky or mean spirited. So th... | |
| Help Logging in to Qobuz with Teac NT 505 I have the NT505 but dont stream Qobuz That said, I suspect you may need to reboot the system, IE the modem & router. | |
| Subwoofer cable question @emiliop Then normal speaker cables go from high level out on sub to main speakers? No. You leave the main speakers connected to the amp and piggy back the subwoofer cables from the same connections There should be a red, yellow, black wires.... | |
| Interesting observations Interesting story. My 1st thought is, Would you have bought a high end cable is it wasn't for it being Xmas the sale et al? That said, I'm glad you were able to hear the difference. I suspect the 2ndone was more surprise than the 1st one @ $280. C... | |
| Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end. +1 @lewm i too was hesitant about a sub. My speakers are supposedly down to 20hz. It wasn't until I added a sub that I got the bass I was looking for. My point is, just because the specs say so doesn't mean it produces it at a level that you lik... |
