Best multi-purpose subwoofer
I am really enjoying my f112 sub. Dialed in for both 2 channel and HT the unit sounds amazing. Really solid state of the art subwoofer. Question is - does using good quality power cable, RCA cable and XLR cable connecting to the subwoofer make a d...

Hi Tim, sorry for the super late response. I was on vacation with family. Want to make sure I don’t ignore a fellow audiophile, specially when you have been so helpful. Well good new is - I purchased a JL Audio fathom f112 sub just last night. It ...

Thank you Tim and Duke, and everyone else who has go graciously taken the time out to write and educate. There is a lot to this subject just like any other piece of equipment in the audio chain, and to me that is where the most fun is being an aud...

Hi Tim, this is great news. I am glad that the Swarm system can connect the LFE and Line in both at the same time. I have a Benchmark DAC1. The source for my digital music is Apple TV. I am connecting via HDMI in to OPPO 105 and coax out of OPPO i...

Hi Tim, Once again thanks for the detail write up. I also have been reading a ton and making phone calls to better understand how multiple subwoofers in a room make the bass better and how at the end of the day the Swarm system really is a great v...

@noble100. Believe me I have read your post in detail slowly, sometimes a couple times and it has a wealth of information in it - and all of it makes sense and follows the audiophile do’s and dont’s. I am now inclining to give the Swarm base syste...

It’s interesting to see so many different opinions. The product reviews online are all over the place too. Right now I am getting a good deal on an Earthquake supernova MKIV 15 inch for $625 and an NHT CS-12 for $500. Just lost a great deal on a R...

@johnkay74 - if you don't have Roon, what's the best way to stream Apple music from Allo Digi One? I really don't want to use Airplay as I believe it compromises on the sound. Also I want to stick with Apple music because of everyone in the family... 
subwoofer to digital music and movies
Earthquake is great. The form factor is big and not pleasing to the eyes in the Family TV room. What I’ve heard of the REL’s is that they are for both music and HT and can be connected to both at the same time. Not sure if Earthquake can.

Really trying to understand why audiophiles prefer AirPlay?

Instead should I selling my Earthquake sub for a REL or other brand?

Never really heard of the Swarm. The website seems weak without much info and it’s not been mentioned or written up elsewhere besides AS. Also the set up for 4 not being wireless means running wires all across which is definitely a no. I’ve narrow...

Does playing Tidal or any other service via AirPlay affect SQ? I’ve A/B using Apple TV direct connect to my Benchmark DAC and AirPlay and there is definite SQ compromise with AirPlay.

Thanks for the reply and it makes sense. The sub I have does not have the DSP and is one level lower supernova MKIV - which happens to have the high level input along with the LFE and hence my question on using both.
