| What do I need? What is your amp and preamp? Does your preamp have a home theater pass-through? A pass-through will take the front two channels from a surround processor and deliver it to your two channel amp without affecting the signal (the volume is controll... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? I have two REL S/510 and a larger 12 inch ported SVS. For movies, the SVS will shake the house, but I would never consider it for music. Are the REL the best bang for the buck? (I paid $4500 new for the pair). Possibly not, but they perform ... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru Thanks again for your responses. You've been extremely helpful. | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru Well, FedEx came through. Hooking up the OCK-2 was straight forward. I'm connected from the sine output to the U18 and R26. I'm still cooking my $7.50 cables. Lol. I ordered better cables, but they didn't show up. I'm not good at descri... | |
| LAIV Harmony I would agree with that. The May KTE sounds like an end game dac for someone like me. Something to think about for a possible upgrade. | |
| LAIV Harmony It doesn't surprise me that a $5600 dac sounds better than a $2700 dac and a $1650 dac. | |
| Subwoofers The really nice thing about having high level and the LFE input is that I can set the high level output low for music and crank up the LFE gain for movies. If you are using the subs for home theatre, I think I'd go with the REL S812 if you like l... | |
| Subwoofers @greywolf I haven't heard the Revel, but I notice that it only has line level inputs. Maybe that works for you, but I like connecting the REL with speaker level for two channel. It also has separate line level inputs for a LFE channel if your sy... | |
| A tip for those using First Sound Preamps Very nice. I wasn't familiar with that preamp, so I did some googling. That's an impressive piece of gear. I have ten NOS PCC88 tubes sitting in boxes. I bought them for a conrad-johnson preamp that I had for a month. It developed an issue an... | |
| Subwoofers My room is approximately 20 ft x 35 ft. I'm using two REL S/510 in a stereo pair. Using speaker level connections for two channel. I have the gain and crossover set really low. They blend well with my full range speakers. If I turn them up ve... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru Ok. I'll skip the shorting caps unless I can confirm that it's a good idea. Thanks for the reply. | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru I actually bought both. They were cheap. I just didn't know if shorting the unused output was a good idea. The silicone cap would simply keep dust out. https://www.amazon.com/Bingfu-Connector-Protecting-Protective-Surveillance/dp/B0... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru And just when you thought I was out of stupid questions... I seem to recall something about caps for the unused bnc connectors. I found both copper shorting caps and some silicone caps on Amazon. Do you recommend one or the other? I can... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru Thank you for the reply. You've been very helpful. | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru If FedEx doesn't let me down, the OCK-2 will arrive tomorrow. My plan is to connect it to both the U18 and R26 as you suggested. Stupid question of the day... if I connect my cd player to my R26 using a coaxial digital connection, the c... |
