| Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases? The same question arises... IF the cable sounds different no one ever explains technically why this is happening. Measurements by technical devices are not accepted. It remains a mystery only to be heard on highly resolving systems only! The huma... | |
| High level connection from Esoteric integrated to Sonus Faber subwoofer what model is the subwoofer? Is the speakon plug locked? | |
| How many watts do you really need? More is always better. Right? I was amazed at a recent show listening to a little tube amp by Black Ice audio, the FX-10. OnIy has only ten watts. Yep 10 watts!! The volume level achieved was more than I would use. It was eye opening to say the ... | |

| DIY subwoofer high pass filter after preamp If they see full range, doesn't that mean you give up some of the benefit in mid/high-end clarity from shifting the low end exclusively to the sub? Your speakers start to cut off @42hz. There's a good quality mid-bass they produce. It's part of... | |
| DIY subwoofer high pass filter after preamp As Teb-b points out, the REL sub has availability to connect to the 'high level' input. The big advantage of using this connection is that if you have a good dynamic sounding amp you'll get the same dynamic to the sub. Going out through the pre-am... | |

| Bookshelf/subwoofer combo End goal, the best 2 channel I can get. In that price range ... Borresen X-1. $5500 High end speaker at a value price. Comes with special stands $7200 total. I would then call REL and have them advise you as to the best pairing. I’d push for a... | |
| Bookshelf/subwoofer combo A good match for what? What's the room size? What's the end goal? More details needed. | |
| The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable @brianlucey exactly how would you define the status quo? I think it's a fair assesment to say there are two opposing camps. Subjective (Agon) vs objective (ASR). Status quo here is a belief, as you are suggesting, that you should trust your ear... | |
| Getting better audio answers from AI @emergingsoul No, if you tell the robitic chef you're unhappy with the meal it will try to please you and go in a 'positive' direction. One that makes you happy. Not a detriment. | |
| The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable @curiousjim I'm not defending Frank. However, there is a good bit of aggression if an opposing view gets posted that doesn't follow along with the status quo. So a better question is who picks the fights? If I see a post thats redundant or looks... | |
| Shaggy rug Pet-friendly alternative to a shaggy rug for room acoustics? Try a catheter. My daughters old boyfriend parents came over our house for the first time and brought their dog with them. He ran right up to my amplifier and pee'd right into the vent holes onto the electronics. I couldn't believe my eyes at the... | |
