REL Carbon Special in the house!
@jl1ny  break in is more about your hearing getting used to the sub IMHO 😊 Take measurements and play tracks once you fiddle with settings. If you have space a dual sub is always better. If not - fine tune with single sub.    Regards, K  
REL Carbon Special in the house!
I moved from 812s to specials- and you will need to start from scratch unfortunately. You are in for a treat- don't assume same position of prior sub- move it around a bit (if you can) to settle on final position. I expect you to dial down a bit s... 
Is this a scam?
If anyone says you ship first and only after shipping confirmation (or pick up) then you get paid balance amount- that is a red flag. I have paid deposits or partial payment initially to secure the sale- that is ok but any mention of shipping befo... 
REL Carbon Special Vs S/812
Having owned both, Carbon specials are much better than 812s. I cannot say it is because of amp or driver- but definitely fast and more oomph. It has more volume (than 812) as well. It is a tougher call between Carbon special and 212SX...    
Purepower APS a reliable product?
Ditto- I have been in touch with Richard and Damian who have consistently mentioned (when I call) that they would take care and shipment was imminent but they have NEVER called back or emailed me back or provided any update as promised. They seem ... 
Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage
Great review Teajay. I have gone thru both the preamps and have Bent Noh (earlier version of TAP). Placette Active and Bent comparison was a preference than a performance issue...I thought both were so close and excellent (you change interconnects... 
meridian 861 or Theta Cas.III-which is better
I had compared Theta CB2 with xtreme DACs to Meridian 861v3 and there was no comparison- 861 was much better wrt soundstage, clarity and overall better sonics. I was actually surprised- with v4 it was a no brainer (if your room is poor in bass cov... 
Amps and pre amps to improve on VMPS RM40 system
I am sure a dedicated pre and 2 Ch Amp (plenty of choices) would improve sonic presentation from the RM40s. HOwever, before that I hop your RM40 has mid-panel upgrade and you have taken time to fine-tune RM40s (bass by removing/adding mass/putty, ... 
Bent Silver TX102 compared to Placette RVC
Nice review Mike! Even though I have not heard the 2 units side by side, I think Placette and Bent are two neutral pres I have heard in my system as of now.But system synergy/tastes are more important and hence even a tube pre might be exciting. C... 
VMPS RM-40 - Anyone Heard
As an owner of RM40s, I have to hand it to VMPS not only for the melodious/crystal clear midrange, but also the tight and fast bass. You can adapt the bass response by adjusting the mass (/putty) of the Passive Radiator in the speaker. I remember ... 
odyssey amp's how do they compare to others
As an owner of Stratos and Monos, I should say that these AMPS are freaking amazing value for $$ AND ABLE performers.I have not yet posted my review on AR(I will soon)- but I should add that the review of Odyssey Amps is like the Titan II LE Subwo... 
Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV
I think tireguy meant the 65HD1 which has MSRP of $12K. This is an older model and has only 1 HD input. I recall reading that there were issues with this set.Anyway if you can afford it, the latest Sony XBR2 comes very close to the Elites.Lefty,a....
