Amplifier Hum - A Problem Solved
@fsonicsmith That chord is 3x more expensive than my Rel T7. Any fix that costs more than $200 will probably result in me buying a Class D sub. My rel T7 is class AB and all my other amps and my wife’s amp are Class D. They all work fine in the ne...

As promised, here is Rel's response about using the T and the T/i models together: With careful tuning using the rear panel controls, it's very possible to tune in a T/I with an older T. Just remember that the T/I will sound much faster and more ...

I asked rel.  I'll post their response here. 
Stereo Subwoofer Pairing
Followup question on Rel's specifically.  Can I use a new i edition of the T series with the old T series?  Or are the model changes major enough that they won't sound similar. 
Stereo Subwoofer Pairing
I'm thinking about using either a used Rel T7 and a new Rel T7i or a used Rel T5i and a new Rel T5i with Magnepan .7's.  I have the T7 and the T5i in different systems right now.

mastercylinder9 posts11-17-2017 8:01pmHow about an early press "Who's Next" a personal all-time fave ...... Keith Moon is excellent. Who's next is great ande well recorded, except the recording quality on "Won't Get Fooling Again" is pretty bad.
