| Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs I had Harbeth SHL5+ with 2 RELT9i and the sound was very big and punchy. I am well versed in technical subwoofer integration and ultimately the best I could do still had compromises. A subtle but noticeable slowing down of the micro dynamics and... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp @couger4u i had the parasound a21+ for a while and found that the sound was best through balanced connections, gain on the SLP 05 at 50% and gain on the a21+ also at 50%. see if that helps | |
| LS50 + Sub Or Floorstander? Floorstanders. I had the LS50s and subwoofers and the issue was there was punch impact missing in the 80 to 100 hz range that sounds best covered by the main speaker. Also i have had subs in and out of several systems and even the best of th... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Congrats! The 05 is an amazing sounding preamp. Be sure to match it with lower gain power amps. Mine is here to stay! | |

| My Amp is good but probably the weak point @stevehuff likes Pass Labs with the Heresy speakers and I agree. Look for a Pass XA25 | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience @mulveling The SUT I used include Cinemag 1254 transformers wired at 1:10 for my Lyra Delos. It sounded louder because of the extra resulting gain and really good but ultimately not as refined overall as my Sutherland fully active. | |
| Toroidal vs EI power amps any difference. The components in my system that sound the best use R-Core transformers. These use a continuous conductor and have opposing windings to cancel out magnetic flux and have ultra low noise. | |
