    Add Subwoofers to Wilson Sasha DAWs?

    @Dishman442 They, RELs, do as far as my, and wife's, listening preferences and music sources (internet classical mostly). They seem to 'open' the stage allowing more involvement for lack of better descriptives. Cross overs currently set to 28. I am fortunate to have a relatively large open...

    Boiler room noise cancellation

    @Mike, I sympathize as my living/music room is open to the kitchen which has a doored pantry containing both commercial fridge and freezer units which are loud when operating (can't shut down) so I use option (2) of shutting door to a crack while listening. It significantly cuts noise but not...

    Add Subwoofers to Wilson Sasha DAWs?

    I have been using REL 25s (pair) with Wilson Grand Slamm for about 2 years now. When you get the settings/placement optimized it adds a lot - I wouldn't be without them.

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    @Blake as the PT14 adaptors are newly available - congrats. Please report your thoughts on improvement over previous adaptors. I have just installed all other positions on Pacific2 and have PT14s so am very interested in your evaluation. The tubes/adapters from Laszlo have really lifted my...

    Pacific dac: Lampizator's new top of the line dac

    you'll be very pleased, but it's a bit of a rabbit hole (though not too deep) as the next very good move is to work with Laszlo on tubes and adaptors. I have and am getting an improvement not thought possible before. I no longer want/need another DAC - even Horizon.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    @Kevin YES! I play classic guitar for my own pleasure and have taken lessons from so have heard some of the best classical guitarist play and have never had more than a few realiazations of that 'correct' sound from the sound hole with my system. This would include other unplugged stringed...

    What situation are you most worried about?

    I normally carry concealed and greatest fear is that somewhere/sometime I would be required to use it to save a life. It is not uncommon where I live as nightly news normally reports 1>4 shootings/murders/etc. in town. OKC/OK/US

    The equilateral triangle listening position. Is it really the ideal?

    No real opinion but as an aside, mine happens to be very near the golden ratio but was unintentional and a result of an open room layout 17x35x12 and aethetics for 'living' as well as listening. I've moved my chair and speakers to test alternatives but this is 'best' and really is superlative...

    what's best sounding speaker you have ever heard?

    Same here. Pacific upgrade matched to jewerly (Anniversary) Antipodes upgrade to OLADRA model (my birthday) = jewerly. OLADRA 2B finally delivered (her birthday coming) and she is double dipping at jewerly store as I write this. I am about at 'end game' but is she?

    Alexx V - Wilson Audio Acoustic Diode

    Me too! Hoped for a slight improvement on my 'old' Grand Slamms but experienced the same suprising gain. Paid a lot and got a lot.

    REL vs JL Audio subs

    I placed AV EVP isolators under my two REL 25s which resulted in improving (IMO) the clarity and crispness of sub bass. Mains are WA X1v3 so resulting Cross overs are set at 28 with volume at 26 - I have a large open room. Every change in kit seems to require reset of subs and, like you have...
