Continuous Phase Adjustment in Subwoofers
REL advocates their sub integration through high-level (speaker-level) connection, which feeds the subwoofer the exact signal the main speakers receive including the same amplifier voicing and timing. This natural alignment of gain and signal char...

@ghdprentice  I am digging the updated LS series. The chassis build quality went up few notches and appearance, subjective as we know, looks is pretty solid and inviting.    @yesiam_a_pirate  ”A sad fact is that the 2 channel high end audiophil...

@kerrybh Thanks for your grounded take, I appreciate that and it really resonates with me. I think you’re spot-on in acknowledging that improvements in audio are often incremental, and that the most dramatic changes usually come from mechanical or...

@kerrybh  Not to get off topic but I have noticed two interesting products in your amazing system….Schnerzinger EMI & Grid Protector’s. Do you find them indispensable in your system? More specifically, if one has dedicated circuit to audio ro...

@fthompson251  Thanks for mentioning this product. Fiber optic isolation converters in audio applications is gaining traction, especially in digital front-end systems where noise reduction and signal purity are critical. A device like LHY Audio E...

“These are small companies making small profits” @ghdprentice  That may be true, but what seems to hurt many of these high-end audio companies in the long run is affordability. As prices continue to climb, they risk alienating a broader base of ...

@audphile1  I don’t think 26awg version better but it definitely much more flexible. The 22awg version as you know is bit stiff.

@rivinyl  Try this cable and see whether it brings any audible improvement over your standard cable.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GCVWRY2?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_TYB58WNP1WXQEYC5CGND  
Metal or Carbon Resistors - Which is better?
  A 300B amplifier can sound dynamic if it has a properly designed driver circuit. The 300B tube is much more difficult to drive than 2a3, 45 and px25. @alexberger  Agreed with your assessment. A 300B amp can sound very dynamic, but it all comes... 
Metal or Carbon Resistors - Which is better?
All of those recommended other than Metal or Carbon resistors, appreciate your input. Unfortunately, manufacturer only offers metal or carbon resistor option. I am keeping my options open but all bets are off if I stumble across a Shindo Monbrison... 
Metal or Carbon Resistors - Which is better?
@larryi  Appreciate the thoughtful take and advice. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t keep an open mind :-)   
Metal or Carbon Resistors - Which is better?
“For some passive linestages, the resistors are almost the whole game—they have a few switches/selector, and attenuation means a stepped attenuator or relay switching of different combination of resistors.  The right choice is important.” +1, @la... 
Metal or Carbon Resistors - Which is better?
@larryi @sns  You’re both spot on and get my dilemma. No matter what I choose, it’s going to be a bit of tradeoff, resolution and precision vs. romance and presence.  Sometimes the right choice isn’t about specs, it’s about what makes the music ... 
Last night the Music took over….
  @ghdprentice  Glad to hear you like the album. Another favorite, if may suggest - Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson. Qobuz 24bit/192kHz is pretty darn good but AP’s vinyl is another level.  @pindac  I am a huge believer of synergy.  You are ...
