Rel S812 fuse, AC cable, footers

I have a pair of Rel S812 subs that was set up by David Schultz last week and he dialed them in to perfection. One of the biggest increase in SQ I’ve ever done. 2 more pairs to go with 3 on each side. David, who was a head man at Rel and now works for T+A, said running the triple will sound amazing.

Rel now says that footers are not needed the way they designed the bottom rail on the S812. Has folks here, who own the S812, tried stands/ footers under their subs with positive results?

Has a fuse upgrade from the stock fuse caused an upgrade in the performance of the subs ?

Does a higher grade AC cable change from stock make a huge upgrade?

 

How many hours does a new pair of S812 take to reach break in?

If you do not hear improvement with Nobsound springs I will be shocked. If you do not hear even greater improvement with Townshend Pods I will be even more shocked. 

Just so you know, I have asked so many manufacturers so many questions like this over the last 30 years I have lost count. Except for one number: zero. The number who have told me their product could be improved.

Understand? The last person you ever ask about making something better is the one who made it in the first place. They will all tell you the same thing. 

Nobsound are cheap. Townshend are good. Try one or the other, you will see.

Very unlikely since the Rel subs are meant to integrate with the floor, NOT isolate, as I thought previously. This is why they recommend Blu-Tac if necessary to keep them from moving. Yes, its controversial. but mine have sounded great
