| Redbook Keeps Surprising This leads to another consideration--do you prefer to listen to your digital music via files, or do you like to have the physical media playing in your system? My dealer was playing music via his MacBook into a DAC, and I remarked on how good it ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Papa, I have not had the tour of ARC. I have been there to drop off my amps and to pick up tubes--inside their shipping department--lots of white boxes ready to go out. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Interesting hook-up info on REL subs. Here's my situation: ARC 210 REF monos driving Maggie 3.6Rs, 4 ohms. (+) to the 4 ohm terminal, (-) to the 0 ohm/ground terminal. I use a REL Strata at each amp. My dealer instructions for Neutrik plug an... | |
| What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s? Great description, Stickman. I believe REL invented subwoofer integration by hooking up at the speaker output. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... My thanks to Oregon, Charles and David, the true gentlemen here who have been exchanging preferences in music and food and also for holding this topic together against all boorish onslaughts. Now about ten hours in on the SR Blacks in my Maggies... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wolf, that's the Bass-O-Matic. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just installed SR Blacks in my Maggie 3.6Rs. The blacks have replaced the reds, which sounded remarkably better than the Furutechs and SR20s. Two hours in--the blacks sound just as good as the reds right out of the box--I am hearing midrange info... | |
| What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s? With the 20.1s, it would be great if you put in just one REL Gibralter, which would be much more dynamic and effortless than two cheaper subs. Not sure which size would be best--there are two. | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company 400S, two stories. Just have to use them right.... | |
| Does the ceiling fan affect the sound? A strong breeze does degrade sound, as when at an outdoor concert or event. In a strong crosswind, the sound waxes and wanes as the air it traveling through is suddenly replaced by different air blowing in. The air in your room is fairly station... | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company 400S, two stories. Jim, with the 400S units, just plug your low-wattage pieces into them--CD, pre-amp, DVD, phono, DAC. Subs and amps go to wall. The 400 does not pass enough current for amps--need a bigger transformer for those--or the wall. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yes, thanks for the listings, Papa. I heard them all on Youtube and have ordered two by Cal Tjader and a few by "Modern Jazz Quartet", not on you list, but I'm sure you will approve. I like those vibes. I think that Rick Braun CD would sound jus... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Alright, my thanks for listening to Rick Braun and band--not the acoustic ensemble of the golden era--but likable. How about "Fourplay" with Bob James? Just like to know how the cool/smooth jazz of today rates with the purists. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... That old bebop is good, alright--pull up Rick Braun’s, "Sessions Volume 1" on Youtube for some of the hippest cool jazz in this time, please. Just let it play and tell me if you dig it, Papa, Charles, Jond, et al. | |
| Help! My system is very bright it hurts my ear Fatgosil, did you say your room is 20' X 60' with 20' ceilings and bare walls and floors? Wow--your room is an echo chamber. Can you partition off a smaller listening area? |
