    Analog Pass-Through DAC to Pre

    I’m running a R26 DAC (happily) into a Madrigal Proceed AVP2 Pre/Pro (baby Levinson). I only listen to Stereo Sound (no effects, no HT). I have run dual subs historically, however, I just learned I’ve been listening to the Proceed’s internal DAC! It sounds and has sounded “good” to me. Unless I...

    When I bought my REL sub I used the high level connection as the instructions recommended. My amp was class AB, and that was the first case explained in the instructions. The high level cable has 3 wires: black, red, yellow. For an AB amp, you connect the red and yellow wires to the red binding...

    Why the fuss with subwoofer specs and brands?

    I've been doing a lot of learning since discovering ASR recently. When it comes to subwoofers, I find a lot less data (at ASR and in general), and more of brand-loyalty or brand-shaming than for other areas at ASR. Even in the subwoofer comparison thread by sweetchaos, the frequency response...

    Subwoofer Advice Needed - ~$1500-$2000

    I’m wondering if upgrading my sub from KEF Q400 to one of the below candidates would have a noticeable impact? In that case which sub (and size) would you go for? - REL T7X - KEF KC62 - I considered SVS Micro 3000 and loved the app, but I don’t like how it looks. So unless it’s significantly...
