| REL Classic 99 Sub @lalitk I can understand the reasoning for trying the 99’s and the wood finish. Piano black is a pain to maintain. I hand polish my subs with automotive and piano polishes. Yes, certain material is overwhelming with my 31’s also. However I... | |
| REL Classic 99 Sub @lalitk, please let us know your findings. I’ve found that by going up the REL line, the lower frequencies are much more impactful, enveloping and engaging. I started with a pair of S/5 SHO’s, then 212/SE’s and now a pair of No.31’s. The 31’s a... | |
| REL Price Increase I heard about this increase through my dealer in late July. The amount was unknown at that time, but it could’ve been higher than 10%. Therefore, I ordered my second No. 31 sub in July while I waited for the one I purchased from TMR. A pair of ... | |
| Subwoofer with center channel Late to the thread, but I’ve been using a sub with my center channel speakers. I have a REL S/5 SHO and a pair of YG Acoustics Carmel 2 speakers as the center. The center channel is set as full range speakers from my pre-pro. Regarding the ampl... | |
| What's the story with Borresen speakers ? Thanks for your detailed explanation and congrats on being a flagship dealership. My experience with the Borresen speakers have been nothing but positive. When mated to Aavik Acoustics gear, as they usually are, the sound is sublime. Last year ... | |
| VAC Pre-amp to roll or not to tube roll... Yes they are special and worth every penny IMO. The red tipped 12AX7’s from Brent are $575 a pair. | |
| VAC Pre-amp to roll or not to tube roll... Hello. I had an Sig Mk IIa SE line stage a few years back and now have a Master with phono. I rolled the 6922’s which I would recommend that you do first if you haven’t done so already. I found Mullard’s to give a warmer presentation. Amperex ... | |
| About Koetsu Rosewood Serge, I cannot see your photo. Glad that you have others that you prefer. I suppose the cost to benefit ratio wasn’t enough which is understandable. I’m a recent Koetsu owner and purchased the RSP. I also picked up a SME 30/2 and love the com... | |
| YG Carmel 2 v 3 Hello, I own a pair of Carmel 2’s but have not heard the 3’s. My dealer has delivered a pair of series 3 Hailey’s to an owner who had the Hailey 2.2’s. Here are some of his impressions, ”The series 3 Hailey’s, definitely are an improvement on th... | |
| Dog pissed on speaker Now it’s your turn to mark your territory on the other speaker. | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? Gosh, where do I start? This December I got a Brinkmann Nyquist Mk II DAC, Graham Engineering Phantom III tonearm, 3-meter WW Platinum Eclipse 8 XLR’s and waiting for my Cardas Clear Beyond x2 tonearm cable. My VAC Master line stage is in Sarasota... | |
| Ethernet Switch Recommendations Please I’ve been using the Ediscreation Silent Switch OCXO Extreme for several years and like it very much. Edison is very helpful too. I haven’t tried other ones tbh. | |
| Second-hand record stores in Tokyo I bought quite a few records from HMV Records and Books in Shibuya and Shinjuku. In Shibuya, the record shop is in a different location than the book shop. Many thanks to ANA for not weighing carry on luggage. ;) Also, if you’re into chef’s knive... | |
| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u VACs need to be powered on for Cinema bypass. ModWright preamps can be left off for HT bypass if that matters. VAC preamps with the Pass Labs X250.8 is a wonderful combo btw. I used that with my Maggie’s and YG’s. However you can turn the Luxm... | |
| Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners I’m also a fan of Shunyata conditioners and power cords. I upgraded from the old Running Springs products (multiple Haley’s and Jaco). The Denali 6000 v2 came first with the Sigma XC cord, and everything improved in terms of detail, separation, de... |
