| Do your ears deceive you? @cleeds indeed I'm not a cable denier. but when I hear a cable review that sounds like a wine review complete with overtones of anis an sage, by BS meter pegs. | |
| ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection I'm a learned person and it seems logical to me that low level inputs would be better. But I've known people with REL subs who claim the high level inputs are better and the sound of their systems confirms it sounds great. I think the REL is des... | |
| speakers and cables Too bad @erik_squires has left the forum. This is an area where he could answer in his sleep. I believe the correct way to wire it is not in parallel but in series. Take the left speaker wire to the left input of your sub "speaker level input’ a... | |
| Do your ears deceive you? "The first principal is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool." --Richard P Feynman, speaking to some of the most brilliant scientists in the world in 1974. Confirmation bias is rampant. | |
| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. Innuos Zenith MK3 and many other innuos models, that’s the one I have. It is very convenient. Put in a CD and it automaticly rips it into your library. Innuos is an excellent streamer but is optomized for their own control system and not good with... | |

| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio @phusis So do you consider the bone-shaking thump of a dance club or the bass in the car next to you at a stop light that shakes your car "natural"? | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? @audiokinesis I like your answer. | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp @audiojan good luck with that. The first amp I ever saw current limit effects was a 14 lb EL84 shoebox amp. You totally missed my point on the bass balance. Not gonna try again. You sound like you've got it figured out. | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? I frequently say that if you have to turn your system up to sound good, then your system sucks. I'm not going to say all systems with high power ss amps and 87dB speakers suck. That would offend lots of people with very expensive systems. Bu... | |
| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp I don't like the term "warm". I think it is a euphemism for bland and muddy. It is generally an attempt to fix a too bright system. and often the too brightness is really a lack of bass. People don't understand this but it makes sense if you t... | |
| What is the lowest voltage acceptable ? I don’t see an answer to your question so far. What the utility is required to provide and what will damage your equipment are two different things. And I don’t really know the answer. Probably the answer is well below any voltage that you will se... | |
