| Clearaudio Concept - Used - Careful what do you think you need to configure on it? Setting up turntables is pretty easy unless you're a total klutz. Based on the picture it appears the only adjustments are on the tone arm (VTA) and cartridge alignment which are really easy to do on ... | |
| No love for the REL S series anymore? ok - now I see the point. A quick ebay search shows 2 Storm III's have sold in the past (however long they keep the history for) 1 Storm III in Cherry veneer for $600; and 1 Storm III in Black for $400. It also shows 2 Strata III's sold for $375, ... | |
| No love for the REL S series anymore? I've had 3 Rel Storms - 2 Storm III's, 1 Storm I. Never had an issue. Still have 1 of my Storm III's and always will. It's fantastic - by far the most musical sub, and easiest to integrate I've ever had. | |
| No love for the REL S series anymore? you may have seen a STORM I *not* sell for $450, but not a STORM III. Natural Veneer Storm III''s sell quickly so long as they are priced reasonably. Britix Black isn't as well liked. Used Cherry Veneer Storm III's sold for a few years for ~$1100,... | |

| No love for the REL S series anymore? the prices have come down a smidge, but I've noticed them selling . . . at least the natural wood ones have been. The black ones have always seemed to sell for a lot less, or not at all . . . | |
| Does you wife touch your system? my wife has no interest in it. It's a good thing too, because if she tried she would quickly become frustrated and irate, and blame me for how hard it is to make it work. Also, I would be hovering over her every move and become irate when she does... | |
| Upgrade Hafler 9500 or Mccormack DNA-1 for Thiels The guru I am hoping reads this would have heard both and would also be able to comment on how each would sound compared to the C-J I doubt you'll find such a guru; but, here's my 2 cents: I have no experience with the Hafler or DNA - upgraded or... | |
| How do good car amps sound? if you're looking for a compact power amp for a desktop check out a gainclone or a T-amp. They sound wonderful, though not necessarily high power (gainclone amps are ~30 - 45 watts; T-amps ~10 watts) | |
| Possibly controversial: Totem arro overrated? and using the same amp and sourcethat right there may be the root of your different experience. I don't have, nor have I ever heard the Arros, but do have 2 other Totem speakers and enough experience with all sorts of gear to know that some combin... | |
