Wanted: Alon Thunderbolt subwoofer
Don't see Thunderbolts come up for sale very often but I've been using REL subs for quite a few years with my Alon's/Nola's with terrific results.You may also want to consider doing the woofer low-pass x-over upgrade on your Alon 1's. I just did t...

Hi Pakito,Yes fuse directionality should be explored by everyone who has taken the time to upgrade their fuses and with high resolution fuses even more so. The reason I bump my fuse ratings up slightly is that since most high end fuses are on the ...

"I'd like to try the SR20 fuses on my REL B1, you mean the fuse 5 Amperes but there are two others on the main map n I have also replaced for best results, or should I replace only one of 5 amperes?"Hi Pakito, for ultimate performance gains one sh... 
Your most disappointing purchase or audition?
That would have to be the Krell KAV-300i. Was a long-time Stereophile subscriber and read a "Firmly Recommended" review in Stereophile in 1996. Going from all the rave reviews that Stereophile gave to Krell products, I decided to go out and buy on... 
PS Audio Humbuster 3 or equivalent wanted
Kemp Elektroniks has two models available. http://www.kempelektroniks.nl/en/231/kemp-elektroniks/products/line-conditioners/power-dc-x-terminatorhttp://www.kempelektroniks.nl/en/885/kemp-elektroniks/products/line-conditioners/dc-offset-killer 
currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade
Since you have a well thought out system to begin with, I would highly recommend a motor controller for your VPI. I implemented a Walker motor controller on my Scout and the positive attributes are undeniable, well worth the asking price.

Jafreeman, when I changed to SR20's in both my REL's I had to bump up the volume just a smidge to rebalance, also didn't notice any burn-in changes. I generally bump up the amperage ratings of all the high-end fuses I implement although in electro...

Kalbi23, to change the mains fuse in the T7, power off the unit and remove the power cord from the IEC inlet. Directly below the IEC inlet is a small rectangular insert that is part of the IEC module. You will then notice a small recess on the top...

Sunnyboy, the mains fuse for the G1 are 5 Amp semi delay(slo-blo) 230 volts, 10 Amp semi delay(slo-blo) 115 volts.Yes the Bassline cable can be ordered on-line, Music Direct has them. Also, not sure about the G1 but my Stadium lll also has two fus... 
Best sounding, involving vinyl you own...
One of mine is a 12" single of ZZ Top Velcro Fly. The dynamics are huge and the soundstage is as open as the sky. Listening to the album release is a major let down which sounds flat, conjested and compressed as hell.Anytime I come across a 12" si... 
Great films where music is a central theme.
My favorite is the Robert Rodriguez film Road Racers which has a kick-ass soundtrack all the way through and of course his movie Desperado is a close 2nd place.

REL now offers their own upgraded cable called the Bassline which utilizes teflon coated slow-drawn high purity copper and silver solder for the connections.I haven't tried the Bassline but I do use the SR Tesla REL SPEC Resolution Reference cable... 
Alon Model 1 8" woofers blown
Hi Scott, did you get the Alon's back up and running?I just pulled my pair out of storage and am replacing the woofers as well. I bought the woofers new from Carl about a year ago. I'm also replacing the Low Pass woofer caps from the stock electro... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Los Lobos in Durango back in March. Great show and sound crew! These guys are still tight and play their songs pretty close to how they sound on their albums. Although the show was only about 90 minutes I would definitely recommend them and would ... 
How far have you gone?
Albuquerque to Durango Colorado which is 3 hours each way to audition a pair of Cabasse Farella 401 speakers. This was at North Star Leading the Way which was the North America dealer for Cabasse and Jadis at that time. Was so smitten with the 401...
