Mcintosh 501's with Magnepan 1.6 QR
Hi,Until I hooked up the supplied resistors my 1.6's were too bright with any and all amplifiers. With the attenuators they sounded great with the same amps. Curt 
RELL or Velodyne DD??
Velodyne. No contest! 
Best subwoofer for Quad 988?
Larry Greenhill of Stereophile uses a Velodyne DD-18 with his quads and says the integration is seamless. I imagine a DD-15 or 12 would work in a smaller room just as well.Curt 
velodyne spl series subs...
The SPL-800 is dynamite if you don't push it too hard. I own and enjoy one.Curt 
subwoofer mate for reference 3a de capo's ?
I'd check out the new Velodyne DD series. Try the DD-12 or DD-15, nothing else comes close. There's a reason for all the rave reviews.Curtaudio 
strange rel subwoofer cable phenomenon
Not to worry. In objective tests most people cannot tell the difference. You're being objective, you're listening. So much (incorrect) hype and BS about wire. Save your money and enjoy.Curt 
Velodyne ULD servo amp serca 1991
Call Velodyne service, they still service the amp.Curt 
does anyone know anything about the Carver TFM-24?
No I think the TFM-24 is the non metered version. It's an excellent musical amplifier. Highly recommended for the price.Curt 
Can someone explain hi-current preamp?
Marketing or ignorance. Take your pick-they seem to run hand in hand.Curt 
Sleeper subs in the $500 range....
A Velodyne F-12 servo series (used) will be the best you can do for music. Just make sure it's in good shape. Response to 20hz and distortion under 1% at most playback levels. Limited ability for home theater in that size room but the winner for m... 
Velodyne F1200B cable
The Velodyne works best with two inputs, so it's best to use a "Y" splitter into both inputs. This sub was designed for music in a small room so take it easy when doing home theater. It's a very accurate subwoofer.Curt ChisholmVelodyne Acoustics

Review: Dynavector KARAT 23 R Cartridge
It has been my reference for many years. I too picked up a NOS recently so the beat goes on.Curt 
Off center stylus - Does this affect sonics ??????
For what it's worth, as a former dealer and user-most Grados are off centered. When I brought it to Joe Grados attention, he said "no big deal". Oh well.Curt 
Looking for best sounding satellite/sub system
Heard the Totem system briefly, very good. For $999, the Velodyne Deco system is awfully good, very natural on music and H/T. High tech sub also.Good Luck,Curt
