| Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound? I have owned the Plixar BAC 3000 for 5 years and recently added a second so I can have one for two power amps, two subs and another for my preamp, phono stage, DAC, transport & streamer. These are balanced 3000 watt toroidal transformers. You ... | |
| Diving into balanced Definitely 1 meter or longer. You never know what your arrangement will be later. My preamp and power amps are 7.5 meters apart. Nice to have sources close to the sitting position and the amps close to the speakers. Speaker connections are short w... | |
| Experience purchasing a used high-end cartridge Too critical a part of the signal path to by used. I vote no. | |
| Vibration dampening If you have watched many REL viideos you will know they strongly suggest to NOT use any isolation materials for their subs. I assume this should apply to any sub. The goal of setting up a sub or subs is to not know it is on until you turn it off. ... | |
| speakers and cables Step one is to determine if the output of your amp is balanced or single end. If it is balanced the negative is not ground. If you don’t know the. The safest thing to do is connect the black to the chassis. If you have REL line subs then you need ... | |
| ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection For me hi level is best. I’m sure there are advantages for low level with some systems. I have two EVO 400 amps plus 2 REL 212SX. My main speakers are connected to the 4 ohm tap and the RELs to the 8. It is an ideal situation in my opinion. The hi... | |

| Solid State Power Amps curiousjim I realize the BHK’s are hybrid. I think the tube input is a positive. The SS part I am wanting to experiment with is the output stage. The currant should be much better with solid state. | |
| Solid State Power Amps I have not followed this forum so I would not know. I apologize if it is annoying you. I’m interested in others opinions. Even your unhelpful one. | |

| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? I have and am very pleased that I did. I have over 1000 albums so for me it makes sense. I want to hear these pressings in their best presentation. If I was starting off and hand a very limited number of albums or CDs I would put all my money into... | |
| YouTube star Jay loves McIntosh MC 901 amplifier This Mac + Sonus Faber pairing must of caught his eye in Munich. Remember he acquired the 901 a few months ago but his speakers were not bi-wireable. Now he has all the pieces of the puzzle he needs. If a room with all the treatment installed and ... | |
| New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp? If this is a step towards a long term hi-end system then I would get the highest quality tube preamp I could afford. This pieces is the heart of the system. From there you can work on source issues. The cartridge is certainly a key piece if your f... |
