If you are a Skynyrd fan the Analog Productions reissues are very good. All the original Skynyrd pressings I have are flat sounding. I have the 45 Gimme Back My Bullets & 33 Nuthin' Fancy. Both sound excellent. I suspect the rest are just as g... 
What Type Belt Are You Using
You may be familiar with this thread from way back. I’ve been using this for years on my Tereshttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/upgrade-for-users-of-1-2-mylar-belt?highlight=holographic%2Bb...The thread was started by Doug Deacon. Does anyone... 
Please evaluate my system...
Tim, I know the 103 has been all the rage for the last decade. But can it REALLY compete with better & more expensive cartridges? Some....maybe. But I doubt it will compete with the better Benz or Zyx or Lyra, etc. I had the Scoutmaster and fo... 
Sub Woofer for Golden Ear Technolgy Triton 5
Sumiko S-9 or S-10. They are a Rel clone and ideal for music IMO. Integration is great and will make your main speaker sound bigger. I bought 2 S-10's from Paragon. They are on close out due to dropping the Sumiko name for Sonus Faber in the next ... 
Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15?
@ttocs I now have 2 of the Sumiko S-10's. Fantastic subs. Goes deeper than my Rel Storm 3 which was a great sub in its day. I too had a hum which I had to overcome. I found the fix on Rels website. It was not the cable coax in my system. I can tel... 
Finally bought my subwoofers...Sumiko S-10
Thanks for the chicken head knob idea. My Rel Storm had course & fine adjustments on the crossover points. You could get the exact same point using that system. the round knobs make it more difficult. I suspect they are put on with a set screw... 
Finally bought my subwoofers...Sumiko S-10
Wolf. The speakon cable is a different animal for sure. I had trouble with a hum at first. But it didn’t sound like a ground loop because it increase in volume with a volume increase of the sub. I finally found the fix on the Rel site. They sugges... 
Isolation stands: snakeoil?
I have not experimented with my TT isolation since it is a mass loaded TT which weighs about 120 lbs. For it, I borrowed Chris Brady's design which includes a sandbox at the top with legs filled with concrete which makes for a dead surface upon wh...

@ttocsWelcome  to the forum. Thanks for the info on the Sumiko S-10. FWIW, i have ordered the S-10 which should arrive Monday. Afterwards I will try to give my impressions 
Rel S3 subwoofer connection options?
Look in the classifieds. There are speaker mfgs who make them for about $100. The neutrik is best for music.here's onehttps://www.audiogon.com/listings/subwoofers-rel-speakon-cable-2018-01-07-home-theaterFWIW i've never used this one but have hear... 
Can anyone recommend a great tube preamp that also has a headphone out?
@soix I agree with the Don Sachs Preamp. I hope to get one soon as well. But HOW does one get "spousal approval"?. I'm not sure my wife has ever given approval....at least until after she hears it. I had to sneak a ScoutMaster turntable in the hou... 
Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15?
@contuzziThanks for your input. I considered the JL until I read a review wherein the reviewer said he had run dual JL's and thought the JL to be the best  for music until he got a Rel S5. Of course, that's just one man's opinion. But he had exper... 
Anyone running a Sumiko S-10 subwoofer for music? Impressions? How about Hsu ULS-15?
@loomisjohnson Thanks again. My system is music only also. And my room is similar in size except it opens to a DR . I'd like to do 2 subs but considering it is my living room, placement is not easy & WAF further complicates placement. Then the...

@loomisjohnson Thank you. One question if you please. How big is your friends room? Is he using one or 2 subs? Thanks again for your helparte 
Von Schweikert vr-4 vs Stratus GoldI
I heard the Gold I's many years back when they were popular. Bryston amplifier and maybe preamp (can't remember the pre) I was not that impressed and was thankful for my speakers. Then too, maybe it was the amp's fault. Hard to say. The room setup...
