    Stereo subs, is this worth it ?

    While I don't feel I am qualified to answer your question, I do know there is a lot of criteria that should be considered when choosing a sub. I am presently testing two L12 subs from Rythmik. They offer a 45 day trial period and free shipping, however you pay for freight back if you don't like...

    CD players vs Oppo

    It is funny how my original thread has caused such differing opinions. So just to be clear. The question is has there been major sonic improvements from CD players from the nineties to today in the $600 range? If there are major changes, please be specific. If not, I will take the advice of some...

    CD players vs Oppo

    That settles it, I will keep the Rotel for a while longer. Hopefully CD players will still be available when mine dies. I do have to take issue with regard to the Adcom (made in the nineties I believe) when compared to the Bryston. While my hearing is not what it used to be - I definitely heard...

    CD players vs Oppo

    Thanks Ken for your comments and video. I did clean the laser a week ago and it plays well. I guess my question should have included any improvement in CD player DAC's? Case in point, I replaced my Adcom 5800 (great amp for $$), with a Bryston 4B st. I could definitely hear an improvement in...

    CD players vs Oppo

    Thanks for all the suggestions, I truely appreciate it. Perhaps I need to edit my original post. First , my Audio Research preamp is from the 70's - there is no optical connection. My present CD player is a Rotel 865bbx from the nineties. The player is working fine. So why am I wanting to...

    Recommendations on three subwoofer brands for Magnepan

    Thanks Kurt for your thoughts. I will use the subs for music only. Since my system is in my living room I am limited for space. I am testing two Rythmik L12's at this time. I spoke to Rythmik about stepping up to F12. They didn't think I would hear much difference ( honest advice ). Because of...

    Recommendations on three subwoofer brands for Magnepan

    I am interested in opinions on subwoofers to blend with Magnepan speakers. I am considering Rythmik L12, F12, svs 1000, 2000 or Jl e110. The subs will be used for music only. I would like to use two subs if price allows. Is th Jl e110 worth twice the price? While my room is 24 x 19, my listening...

Apparently this was the wrong place. Lesson learned. I will definitely check out the link you sent. So if testing subs at store is...

    Buy Rythmik from Brian or Ascend?

    I am testing Rythmik L12's with Magnepan 1.6 speakers. I chose Rythmik after reading reviews of their ability to blend with my speakers and the attractive price. The folks there were very helpful with explaining how to setup my subs. I understand that I can order their subs in any color - as...
