    Audiophiles in Austin, TX, Please Check In!

    Welcome to Austin. I am very close to downtown Austin (not in the Hill Country). I think the Austin audiophile community is larger than what most people think, it's just that not many of the local enthusiasts do alot of posting on audio web sites. But there are a wide range of very good audio...

    REL 6 PACK ARRAY

    Hi Lloyd, This is my guess - but I would have to say that the improvement that you can achieve with the REL 6 pack is mostly due to the ability to now setup each level of the stack to dial that level into a different crossover point and gain. I tend to think of it simply as the bottom REL's are...

    REL 6 PACK ARRAY

    Hi Lloyd, I approached moving forward with the REL G1 six pack slightly differently then KahunaCanuck did. Prior to getting the six pack, I already had a pair of REL Studio III subs paired with my Arrakis speakers which I like alot. When REL started discussing the availability of the G1 6 pack...

    REL 6 PACK ARRAY

    That is also a beautiful listening setup. And I would agree with everything you said about using the REL array. Arnie

    REL 6 PACK ARRAY

    Hi John, First, Good luck on your surgery. Second, I have been using a Rel G1 six pack for several years now and once you have the 6 pack dialed in correctly with your room and speakers you are rewarded sonically. I've attached a very recent picture of my setup. Thanks, Arnie

    Lyra Lambda Etna vs. Lambda Etna SL

    Hi, I also owned and enjoyed very much the Lyra Etna SL cartridge in my system. Before purchasing it I compared it in my system to the Lyra Atlas cartridge and I much preferred the Etna SL to the Atlas. My phono stage is the CH Precision P1 which does have current amplification. When the Lambda...

    What amplifiers work best with Rockports? What have you heard?

    HI Lloyd, if I ever decide to sell my Arrakis I will let you know. And they do sound amazing with the CH Precision electronics - both the CH M1.1 amps and now with the CH M10 amps.

    TotalDAC D1-Switch Listening Impressions

    I have just recently had the chance to audition the new TotalDAC D1-Switch in my system. This is the first high end audio switch that I have tried and I must say, the magnitude of the sonic improvement that the D1-Switch provided to my digital front end was quite surprising to me. My digital...

    CH Precision 10 series

    HI Gian, Thanks very much. It's hard to be sure which 10 series component makes the biggest difference at this point because my M10 monos have just started their break in process. Based on what I have heard so far, I do anticipate that the M10 monos will make an even larger improvement...

    CH Precision 10 series

    I just installed my CH M10 mono blocks yesterday to pair with my CH L10 true mono preamp (4 box). Fourteen hours into the break in process. I am running them in active biamplification mode with my Rockport Arrakis speakers. If they sound this good this early I can't imagine what they will sound...

    CH Precision L10 & M10 : My votes for the Best SS amps (for the past 5 yrs till 6-2021)

    Thanks so much LLoyd. I am lookng forward to hopefully hearing a pair of M10 mono's in my system later this year. If it's as good as I expect it to be, you will need to come visit me and have a listen for yourself!!

    CH Precision L10 & M10 : My votes for the Best SS amps (for the past 5 yrs till 6-2021)

    Two other design differences between the L10 and L1 that I forgot to mention above. First, the chassis of the L10 and its power supply, while they look almost identical and are the same physical dimensions as the L1 and X1 are quite a bit stiffer and denser than the L1/X1 chassis. A lot less...

    CH Precision L10 & M10 : My votes for the Best SS amps (for the past 5 yrs till 6-2021)

    Hi Lloyd, Thanks very much. I continue to be amazed at how the Arrakis just allow whatever is upstream of it to be heard - So far I have not been able to find the limit of these speakers can do.
