| My new speakers Congrats on your Sonja 3’s. The REL 32’s are the perfect match unless you go with the Basis subs. I have the Hailey 3’s with a pair of 31’s. Like you, I have the REL’s set at 25 Hz and level around 10 or less. I played with the parametric sett... | |
| The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable I saw the title of this thread and was hoping to learn more about the Ethernet cable mentioned. I’m disappointed. With that being said, I can easily hear cable changes in my revealing system. Various cables in my system will present differen... | |
| $35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why? @chuck Our systems are very similar. My system consists of a VAC Master w/phono -> Boulder and N20 -> MSB Premier. I’m also a Maggie owner. I started with the 10’s then 1.6’s and 3.6’s. I even bi--amped my 3.6’s with a Pass Labs X... | |
| REL Classic 99 Sub @lalitk I can understand the reasoning for trying the 99’s and the wood finish. Piano black is a pain to maintain. I hand polish my subs with automotive and piano polishes. Yes, certain material is overwhelming with my 31’s also. However I... | |
| REL Classic 99 Sub @lalitk, please let us know your findings. I’ve found that by going up the REL line, the lower frequencies are much more impactful, enveloping and engaging. I started with a pair of S/5 SHO’s, then 212/SE’s and now a pair of No.31’s. The 31’s a... | |
| REL Price Increase I heard about this increase through my dealer in late July. The amount was unknown at that time, but it could’ve been higher than 10%. Therefore, I ordered my second No. 31 sub in July while I waited for the one I purchased from TMR. A pair of ... | |
| Subwoofer with center channel Late to the thread, but I’ve been using a sub with my center channel speakers. I have a REL S/5 SHO and a pair of YG Acoustics Carmel 2 speakers as the center. The center channel is set as full range speakers from my pre-pro. Regarding the ampl... | |
| What's the story with Borresen speakers ? Thanks for your detailed explanation and congrats on being a flagship dealership. My experience with the Borresen speakers have been nothing but positive. When mated to Aavik Acoustics gear, as they usually are, the sound is sublime. Last year ... | |
| VAC Pre-amp to roll or not to tube roll... Yes they are special and worth every penny IMO. The red tipped 12AX7’s from Brent are $575 a pair. | |
| VAC Pre-amp to roll or not to tube roll... Hello. I had an Sig Mk IIa SE line stage a few years back and now have a Master with phono. I rolled the 6922’s which I would recommend that you do first if you haven’t done so already. I found Mullard’s to give a warmer presentation. Amperex ... | |
| About Koetsu Rosewood Serge, I cannot see your photo. Glad that you have others that you prefer. I suppose the cost to benefit ratio wasn’t enough which is understandable. I’m a recent Koetsu owner and purchased the RSP. I also picked up a SME 30/2 and love the com... | |
| YG Carmel 2 v 3 Hello, I own a pair of Carmel 2’s but have not heard the 3’s. My dealer has delivered a pair of series 3 Hailey’s to an owner who had the Hailey 2.2’s. Here are some of his impressions, ”The series 3 Hailey’s, definitely are an improvement on th... | |
| Dog pissed on speaker Now it’s your turn to mark your territory on the other speaker. | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? Gosh, where do I start? This December I got a Brinkmann Nyquist Mk II DAC, Graham Engineering Phantom III tonearm, 3-meter WW Platinum Eclipse 8 XLR’s and waiting for my Cardas Clear Beyond x2 tonearm cable. My VAC Master line stage is in Sarasota... | |
| Ethernet Switch Recommendations Please I’ve been using the Ediscreation Silent Switch OCXO Extreme for several years and like it very much. Edison is very helpful too. I haven’t tried other ones tbh. |
