Cabasse dealers in the US
Thanks!  I would appreciate that very much. 
REL Subwoofers, Class D Amps and Neutrik Cables.
I have a REL G2. I tried connecting it to my McCormack DNA 500 amp in the "standard" manner. It got so hot it shut down my amp. I then determined the DNA 500 is a "differential" amp. I then connected as per REL's instructions for Class D and Diffe... 
REL G-2 Question
Thanks Erik, you have made me feel a whole lot better! 
REL G-2 Question
Thanks again Matt. I think you are correct that the problem is not with the sub, even though in talking with REL's engineers they say you should not have to turn down the LFE while in 2 channel mode. Instead, I believe the problem is a "phantom si... 
REL G-2 Question
Matt,Thanks for chiming in. If I set the Hi Level volume at zero, I can dial up the .1 LFE volume and it adds gain to the sub even though there is no LFE content present. This is in 2 channel mode. It is my understanding that you are supposed to b... 
New Speaker for Under 5K
Sonus Faber Liuto's should work very well with your ears and your budget. 
Road Trip
Buconero, interesting post. Especially since on 9-2-12 you wrote:"I do wish you success as I love to visit stores like yours, especially to hear speakers, and 'kick the tires', but not buy which I do on line or direct from the distributor".How can... 
Any way to reduce pre-amp noise floor?
It has taken me some time but I finally got fed up with the noise issue and replaced the stock Electroharmonics 6922 with a NOS 1960 Amprex 7308 tube. PROBLEM SOLVED! Not only did the noise completely disappear, the whole soundstage opened up, a v... 
REL G2 or JL Audio F112 ..thoughts for 2 channel
Garebear,Regarding your assumption: Not necessarily! The Rel has a separate .1 LFE input that you can connect directly to an AV system for for HT and still use the high level connection for music. There are also separate volume controls for these ... 
Selling dispute. Please comment.
Rrog:I must take exception to the points you make in your post. First, you state that "... the first thing that may enter the buyer's mind is, what else is the seller lying about." In order for a lie to occur there must be a misrepresentation of t... 
Best $1,500-ish New or Used Floorstander -
I have seen three or four ads in the past two years for Aerial 10T's for around $1700. In my estimation the 10T's are as good as any (and better than most!) speakers mentioned in this thread! 
Good speakers under 10K.
The Joseph Pulsars are indeed very good but will sound best when paired with a good Subwoofer. Two others (used) to consider in your price range are Thiel 3.7's and Verity Audio Parsifals. For an absolute screaming bargain you can pick up a well m... 
Need your recommendations for amazing recordings
I'm glad someone mentioned Eva Cassidy. You might also try Anne Hampton Calloway's "Blues in the Night". A little farther out but very good female vocalist is Dave's True Story. I recommend there "Sex Without Bodies" and "Unauthorized". 
Has anyone had this problem with their Anthem CD-1
I recently sold my CD-1 after 13 years of highly reliable use. During that time the only problem I had was with burned CD's. Some brands (e.g. Blue face HP CDR 52x 700MB data,) would not play at all after being properly burned. My experience with ... 
Alt Country/Folk, American roots
I "second" the Tom Russell nomination! You may also like James McMurtry and Delbert McClinton. If you lean just a little to the Country side give Billy Joe Shaver and Ray Wylie Hubbard a listen.
