Do you run a high end power cord on your sub?
I don’t think a higher crossover is any help in a 2 channel system. My RELs are crossed at 22 Hz. Not being able to do a 140 Hz is of no concern to me and my system.And by the way the poor old RELs seem to make pretty good music better than a lot ... 
Do you run a high end power cord on your sub?
My friend and I have Audioquest NRG-5 power cables on our REL subs. I have 2 REL Stentors III and he has 2 REL Studio III subs. The Audioquest NRG-5 power cables sound very good and seem to be cheap if you can find them. I am not sure how they com... 
Why are they doing this?
Just to let you know about REL subs as I have a pair of Stentors III connected to monoblocks. I use the red and yellow together for each sub on the + terminal of both right and left monoblocks so each Stentor is connected to one monoblock each. I ...

Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
My DAC has been running for 4 weeks and it now getting very good. Both DAC chips have broken in so please disregard the above post as it has no meaning.This is a great DAC now that it has lots of hours on it. I have sold the Berkeley Alpha USB con... 
Installing Dedicated Lines.... Need advise
I think separate lines for analog and digital is a good idea. I would check your sub as it might be a class D amp so you might want to include it on the digital side of things if it is a digital amp. 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
I have my AMR 777 in house and I am breaking it in. I only have a little over 50 hours now but it is running around the clock. I have come across an issue and maybe someone can help. The first day the DAC ran with my Berkeley Alpha USB connected u... 
Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ......
It takes time to get everything right. You need to optimize the computer OS for audio play. Not all computers sound the same. I have a friend that built 2 computers and one of them sounded awful. So you have software and hardware to get right on j... 
Purist Audio Design - Dominus Interconnect Cable
To me the PAD Dominus interconnects are just right. I needed another set of interconnects for my turntable. I had a moment of doubt where I thought I could get by with something cheaper. I went shopping with The Cable Company. I had them send 3 di... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
I am considering buying an AMR 777 DAC. Have any of you guys tried the Berkeley Alpha USB feeding the AMR 777? Do you think it will sound better using a Berkeley feeding a BNC input? What is the ifi iUSBPower unit? Does it require 2 USB cables? I ... 
Theta Pro Basic III, Bel Canto Dac2, CIAudio VDA-2
I owned a Theta Pro Basic IIIb many years ago when they first came out. I then moved to a Mark Levinson 36s DAC and never looked back. The Bel Canto DAC2 would not be my choice but in this instance I think I would choose it over the Theta. I have ... 
Dedicated Power Lines
Jea48,I finally did the test on the hots of my isolated power. Maybe I was lucky or the transformers just handle it but when I tested the 120V loads together 2 at a time they all read 0 volts.lee 
Dedicated Power Lines
I also live in an old house and upgraded my service. I had my service upgraded to a 250 amp service with new breaker box and what I think helped the most is changing to new 0/0 wire from the pole to the new breaker box. The new feed to the house i... 
Questioning a/c isolation for digital.?
It is the best sound I have had from my system. I think I now have “round” cymbals. The isolation transformers clean up the sound so well. 
Dedicated Power Lines
I think if I understand it, if you use both phases of power at home then if you cross the hots you can produce 240volts. I would think anybody who uses 220 power conditioning is subject to this and anybody who uses multiple plugs from different ph...
