| Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15? his room was fairly large--i'd guesstimate 15 x 18 with fairly high ceilings. he has only one sub and his is a music only system (not movies) | |
| Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15? my good friend recently got the s-10 to use with his magnepan 3.7s and i was genuinely impressed--the sumiko was very fast and integrated pretty seamlessly; seemed like good value. i haven't heard the hsu. | |
| Why are there no botique car audio recievers? bondmanp, i share your pain--the bose system jacks up my otherwise excellent maxima. i've also looked into the aftermarket mods you refer to--they're very costly, tho i'm certainly tempted. the fender system in my wife's current vw, otoh, is reall... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? reubent, i'd offer the following:1. song for song, i'd say this year's model is the strongest, esp. the deluxe version, which has great obscurities like big tears and tiny steps. on a certain level, i think the playing's great, esp. the thomases ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? bdp's comments on Kof A are well-observed--other EC records have a stronger set of songs top-to-bottom but do tend to sound over-polished, while this one has a natural swing. "Brilliant Mistake" and "Indoor Fireworks" are among his very best ever. | |

| Chromecast and external DAC just got a chromecast and am using it (through its mini optical) with a mf vdac--as willemj states its digital output is very clean and noticeably better than the not-bad analogue output. if you already have an optical cable, a mini adapter costs ... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? wolf, i might well fall into the lazy reviewer camp (and we might be getting into a semantic debate), but i find "speed" a useful description for a sub--to me a fast sub connotes absence of bloat and decay; likewise the ability to react to the si... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? i've heard rel paired with magnepans many times, typically in well-set up rooms, and while the rel is certainly powerful impressive, i never lost the sense that i was hearing a separate subwoofer. | |
| 5.1 Reciever accessories4less has very good prices on mainstream avrs (yamaha, marantz, etc.)--as much as 75% off. i've always like yamaha and integra, though frankly i don't hear a ton of difference between the big players. | |

| HPM 150’s Still Relevant? i also had the hpm100 which were a lot of fun and like you say, certainly had a full sound. they are not as revealing or detailed as my more modern speakers, but ultimately it's about whether you enjoy 'em. if you're happy with your hpm150, i woul... | |
| Bluetooth or not i've always felt that the wired connection is better than bluetooth, tho the difference is much less with the newest bluetooth aptx codecs (provided your devices support them) | |
| Canton Karat 100 speakers and other pleasant surprises if you're referring to the late 80s iteration of the canton 100, i had a pair i regrettably ended up giving away--they were a real sleeper which were suprisingly full range and musical. |
