REL Subwoofer Cable Upgrade?

Upgrading to first the Synergistic Research REL SPEC Phase ll active shielding cables on both my Strata lll and my Stadium lll subs made a substantial improvement in both bass extension and soundstaging over the stock REL cable, it wasn't until I upgraded to the SR REL SPEC Resolution Reference and then had the Resolution Reference cables upgraded to the Zero Capacitance active shielding and the Quantum Tunneling treatment that BIG changes took place.

There is now what seems like another half octave of extension and the soundstage took on another order of dimensions in all aspects not to mention much better pitch definition, and this applies to both the Strata lll and the Stadium lll! Yes the SR REL SPEC RR upgraded cables are on the spendy side but IMHO, are a worthy addition in a high resolution system where REL subbass systems are being utilized.

One warning, once you hear your REL sub(s)with the SR active shielding cables, going back to the stock cable is a MAJOR let down and don't forget that upgrading the stock PC also has benefits but I would start with upgrading the stock Neutrik cable first.

Absolutely. I use a REL Stadium lll and a REL Strata lll in 2 different systems and upgrading to the Synergistics Research Resolution Reference active cable made a substantial improvement in both sub's performance.

Both blended MUCH better and had deeper bass response and quicker transient performance, they just completely disappear now.

And don't forget about power cables. Using a SR Tesla 3 on the REL Strata lll bumped the performance up another coupla notches and an addition I would highly recommend.
