| Theta Miles CD player WOW! Didn't expect to run across this thread. I don't get around here much anymore. But I've considered investing in a new CDP, mainly because my Miles is getting old. I've had it around 18 yrs and it still sounds good to me. I've considered a use... | |
| Butcher BLock Acoustics under turntable I have used 4" maple under my ScoutMaster when I had it. I prefer a sandbox. I have one under my Teres now. Having done a lot of experiment with footers, etc, mostly under my cdp, I can tell you that the material makes a difference in the sound. I... | |
| New Vinyl If you are a Skynyrd fan the Analog Productions reissues are very good. All the original Skynyrd pressings I have are flat sounding. I have the 45 Gimme Back My Bullets & 33 Nuthin' Fancy. Both sound excellent. I suspect the rest are just as g... | |
| What Type Belt Are You Using You may be familiar with this thread from way back. I’ve been using this for years on my Tereshttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/upgrade-for-users-of-1-2-mylar-belt?highlight=holographic%2Bb...The thread was started by Doug Deacon. Does anyone... | |
| Please evaluate my system... Tim, I know the 103 has been all the rage for the last decade. But can it REALLY compete with better & more expensive cartridges? Some....maybe. But I doubt it will compete with the better Benz or Zyx or Lyra, etc. I had the Scoutmaster and fo... | |
| Sub Woofer for Golden Ear Technolgy Triton 5 Sumiko S-9 or S-10. They are a Rel clone and ideal for music IMO. Integration is great and will make your main speaker sound bigger. I bought 2 S-10's from Paragon. They are on close out due to dropping the Sumiko name for Sonus Faber in the next ... | |
| Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15? @ttocs I now have 2 of the Sumiko S-10's. Fantastic subs. Goes deeper than my Rel Storm 3 which was a great sub in its day. I too had a hum which I had to overcome. I found the fix on Rels website. It was not the cable coax in my system. I can tel... | |
| Finally bought my subwoofers...Sumiko S-10 Thanks for the chicken head knob idea. My Rel Storm had course & fine adjustments on the crossover points. You could get the exact same point using that system. the round knobs make it more difficult. I suspect they are put on with a set screw... | |
| Finally bought my subwoofers...Sumiko S-10 Wolf. The speakon cable is a different animal for sure. I had trouble with a hum at first. But it didn’t sound like a ground loop because it increase in volume with a volume increase of the sub. I finally found the fix on the Rel site. They sugges... | |
| Isolation stands: snakeoil? I have not experimented with my TT isolation since it is a mass loaded TT which weighs about 120 lbs. For it, I borrowed Chris Brady's design which includes a sandbox at the top with legs filled with concrete which makes for a dead surface upon wh... | |
| Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15? @ttocsWelcome to the forum. Thanks for the info on the Sumiko S-10. FWIW, i have ordered the S-10 which should arrive Monday. Afterwards I will try to give my impressions | |
| Rel S3 subwoofer connection options? Look in the classifieds. There are speaker mfgs who make them for about $100. The neutrik is best for music.here's onehttps://www.audiogon.com/listings/subwoofers-rel-speakon-cable-2018-01-07-home-theaterFWIW i've never used this one but have hear... | |
| Can anyone recommend a great tube preamp that also has a headphone out? @soix I agree with the Don Sachs Preamp. I hope to get one soon as well. But HOW does one get "spousal approval"?. I'm not sure my wife has ever given approval....at least until after she hears it. I had to sneak a ScoutMaster turntable in the hou... | |
| Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15? @contuzziThanks for your input. I considered the JL until I read a review wherein the reviewer said he had run dual JL's and thought the JL to be the best for music until he got a Rel S5. Of course, that's just one man's opinion. But he had exper... | |
| Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15? @loomisjohnson Thanks again. My system is music only also. And my room is similar in size except it opens to a DR . I'd like to do 2 subs but considering it is my living room, placement is not easy & WAF further complicates placement. Then the... |
