    [WTD] Genuine REL high-level subwoofer cable (3 core).

    I ran a 3m bassline blue for a while and it was much better than the stock. I think you could DIY one with single strand 14 AWG upocc copper in teflon and a good neutric connector for much less than the retail price of the bassline blue. Use a high quality silver solder.

    Audiophile Network Switches for Streaming ... really ?

    These threads always descend to this, often much more antagonistic than here to be fair. Many of the usual detractors are here. Good luck with your efforts Flash, I'm also in Pharma, 33 years now, 11 years in R&D and I'm still enjoying the HiFi placebo of a fancy Ethernet switch in front of my...

    20 year old REL stentor III amp faulty, repair or replace ?

    Sadly it still has said fault o_O. I can only assume it has not replicated the noise in the workshop after the work. I will look at the switch. If one of the leads was loose on the driver could it sound like this , with no signal into the amp ?

    Audiophile Network Switches for Streaming ... really ?

    Seems to me it's very subjective and a bit of a dark art. Paul says that using lots of feedback can impact it, my own amp is a zero feedback design. I'm pretty sure having zero feedback design is a major factor in my experience of almost everything matters.

    20 year old REL stentor III amp faulty, repair or replace ?

    I like to push mine quite frequently to 90dB levels, I'm sure that will make things run hotter which will stress the components, especially the electrolytic caps. Sometimes my system can be on 12 hours a day, it's regularly on for 6 +.

    20 year old REL stentor III amp faulty, repair or replace ?

    Although these caps are 20 year old and I play my system for let's just say several hours per day. I've only had it the last quartile of its 20 year life. It was an old boys who bought it for home theatre use, he passed and his son had had it some years out of use. He himself had a stadium 3...

    20 year old REL stentor III amp faulty, repair or replace ?

    Sadly he is very near retirement in his 70s now. I kind of wish I just said to him imagine it was yours and you loved it what would you do to service and pimp it so that it's good for 20 more. I need to listen to it but the main 10000 micro farrad power caps were in spec, high ripple I...
