- In this video, I share and discuss my latest stereo equipment upgrade - 2 REL S/510 subwoofers. Why would I buy two subwoofers? Why does having a good subwoofer make a difference? Tune in for all the details.
I also discuss records from bands/artists such as Donald Fagen, The Zombies, Dave Brubeck, and Blood, Sweat & Tears.

I loved hearing about your new equipment. It's such a joy hearing what new equipment can do for the music we own. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas. I love the tree BTW it looks lovely.
I agree. My stereo equipment upgrades have been incredible. I'm so grateful. Thank you and Merry Christmas. ♥️🎄
I also enjoy the real excitement conveyed about the equipment. I had to smile at her happiness. The ability to record on vinyl so far exceeds the playback technology , that it seems better equipment will endlessly extract more sound than before from any old record.
Love hearing how excited you are and how happy you are with these upgrades! If the sound makes YOU feel good it is totally worth the upgrade. Congrats and Happy Holidays.
Thank you so much! ♥️ Happy Holidays. 🤗
Always excited to see and hear about the gradual upgrades you make to your system over the years! Have a good Christmas!
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas. 🤗♥️🎄
Gorgeous setup! The hard work you have been putting in on this channel deserves the bonus of getting to upgrading your gear. Merry Christmas to you, Phillip, and your daughter! 🎄
Thank you so much for the kind words. ♥️ Merry Christmas! 🎄🥰
@@user-pt5gx2vb6d one never knows what burdens others might carry , that's why kindness is always so useful , as demonstrated by this lady.
Brilliant Melinda! You now have a top shelf audio system. Certainly one of which to be proud. You have navigated the rabbit hole successfully. Kudos. BTW, great vinyl choices.
Thank you so much! 🤗♥️
I really love your setup. But it sounds great. The albums just a nice recap over what you've been talking about all along. I enjoyed the update on your equipment and now I'm Even more jealous. Have yourself a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.❤
Thank you Mike! ♥️ Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. 🥰🎄🤗
Merry Christmas Melinda to you and your family, thank you for your videos through the year
Thank you and Merry Christmas! 🤗🎄♥️
Congratulations, Melinda! You have sold me. Love your enthusiasm. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
Thank you! Merry Christmas! 🎄♥️🥰
Hey, great to hear about your system, love ur enthusiasm about music and hifi rigs. Keep enjoying the music, I enjoy your videos!
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗
Oh man, that Blood Sweat and tears album is Killer! Congrats on your new equipment acquisition
Definitely! 🔥 Thank you and take care.
I'm not a fan of the Zombies, but the other three I have, love and cherish. Especially the Dave Brubek. I was fortunate to see one of his performances a few years before he passed on. Not only was he a brilliant musician but one of the most glorious human beings that we were blessed to have. I'm a soon to be 64 year old black man and been a music lover and audiophile for 44 years. Keep spinning the vinyl and cd my sister audiophile!!
Yay the update is here!! Very beautiful High-End setup your system has really turned into, you have really become quite the Audiophile, I could only imagine how epic it now sounds, congratulations!!😎🤘
Thank you for the kind words. ♥️🤗 Take care.
The system is really coming along Melinda! Hope you and the family have a very merry Christmas and of course a happy new year! 😺
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄🤗
Hi Malinda, congratulations on the Rels . I'm happy for you both on your new addition to your stereo equipment and system. Merry Christmas!
Thank you! ♥️🤗 Merry Christmas! 🎄
You have a wonderful channel. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into it. Merry Christmas and may you and your hubby have a safe,happy,healthy New Year. God bless you!
Wow! I appreciate it so much. ♥️ Merry Christmas & may the Lord bless you.
Love the review of your equipment, RELS, and recommendations. Subbed and love the Christmas tree!
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗
Another fun video and thank you, Melinda, for your channel. I get excited when you post a new episode. Have a very Happy Christmas and all the best in the New Year, from Vancouver Island, Canada.
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words. ♥️🤗 I appreciate it so much. I hope you have a Merry Christmas! ♥️🤗🎄
First.. love the tree. Second… that Miles Davis shirt is killer. Congrats on the Rel subs. Definitely a great fit and move. One thing I found when adding subs to my system besides the reinforcement of the lower bass frequencies is the midrange was enhanced and solidified. Especially with vocals. As always, sit back and enjoy. May you, Philip and your daughter have a wonderful and blessed Christmas Day.
I agree with your assessment. The vocals sound better and the lower and midrange improves with these subs. Thank you for the kind words. 🤗♥️ Take care.
Excited for you Melinda! It's such a rush improving our systems and although I've never owned one (or TWO!!), REL is a great sub manufacturer. Enjoy the holidays!
Thank you very much! Happy Holidays. ♥️🤗
Another fun video. Thanks for sharing. The double sub set up looks (and probably sounds) amazing! Happiest Holidays!
Thank you so much! Happy Holidays. 🤗♥️
Congratulations on your new stereo equipment and recommending some favorite records. I appreciate your knowledge.
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗 Take care.
Nice upgrade- bet it sounds great. Congrats, enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
Thank you! 🤗♥️ Merry Christmas. 🎄
Melinda, Thank you for this interesting video. Congratulations on your new system. Thank you for your videos this year.
Can I wish you a very merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year. Take care. Regards Dave.
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ♥️🤗🎄
You did good! Nice setup! Merry Christmas !
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas! ♥️🎄
What a great stereo system! Congratulations. Happy holidays.
Thank you so much! Happy Holidays. ♥️🤗
Always great to have a Merry Christmas gift to yourself lol!! Congrats on the additions M!! Have an awesome Christmas!!
Yes, I should have mentioned that the subs are my Christmas present... Probably for the next 10 years. Lol. Thank you and take care.
Merry Christmas! 🥰♥️🎄
Thank you, Melinda, for this interesting video. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy Holidays.
Take Care.🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁
Thank you! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year ♥️🤗
Hello Melinda I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and congratulations on your new subwoofers.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🤗♥️🎄
Great video and want to wish you and yours the merriest of Christmases! Thank you for an awesome year of content and for being the coolest person on UA-cam!
Wow! Thank you so much for what you add to my channel. I am always so happy to hear from you. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year. ♥️🤗
Congrats and enjoy Melinda.
Thank you very much! ♥️🤗
Wonderful and informative video Melinda! You're turning into my new Rick Beato as I try to buy the same records as he has in his collection. Just picked up two new Mofi SourcePoint 10 speakers instead of the two Graham/Chartwell speakers I originally was going to pick up. Just picked up Odessey & Oracle, Chet's Choice, and others that you recommended! You do your homework on these purchases, I love that, and thank you for this!❤
Oh wow! I hope you're loving the new speakers. I love mine. Odyssey and Oracle and Chet's Choice are awesome records. ❤️❤️❤️ You picked up some gems. Thank you and take care.
Great Choices Melinda! The Emotiva will serve you well for a very long tine. And you will be glad for the two REL subs in a room of that size. Also great choices on sound evaluation albums. I listen to the blood sweat and tears one step a lot! Thanks for a great video!!
The Blood Sweat & Tears One Step is incredible. I love listening to it. ♥️ I will be taking a break from upgrades for a while. I am happy with what I have. Thank you and take care.
Congratulations on the new sub-woofers. I bet your music sounds incredible. Happy Holidays Melinda!
Thank you Randy! Merry Christmas! ♥️🎄🤗
Hi Melinda, fellow vinyl lover here.
Just subscribed and love the content!!! Love the setup and vinyl collection!!! My cousin has the Rel sub and they are amazing. Myself, I have two subs in all 3 of my listening areas!!!
Very cool. 🤗♥️ Thank you very much!
Congratulations on your upgrades! I'm in the process of doing the same with my equipment. I've upgraded my amp and phono cartridge, and still deciding on which speakers to purchase. The one thing about stereo equipment is that no matter what changes you make, there is always something better out there. Of course you have to live within your own budget, but the temptation for something even better never stops. It's a never ending pursuit for the ultimate setup. Great choice on the REL's.
I will have to keep that urge in check. For now, I'm quite content. The subs are great and work with the rest of my equipment perfectly. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
Congrats Melinda. Visual aesthetics should be one part of the consideration when choosing gear. The sound first, but we live with this stuff daily, so it should look pretty nice, too. My guess is that the tree actually dampens the sound. Happy Christmas to you all!!
I agree. Looks so matter to some extent. It's nice to have stereo equipment that I enjoy looking at. ♥️ Thank you and enjoy the season.
congrads to your upgrade !
Thank you very much! ♥️
Nice set up! Your Christmas tree is beautiful! Merry Christmas to you and your family Melinda!! 🎄
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas! ♥️🤗🎄
Can’t go wrong with REL subs and I also prefer two over one, lovely system Melinda and glad it’s bringing you enjoyment of your records, wishing you and family a great Christmas and new year xx
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas. 🤗♥️
Merry Christmas Melinda you have got a very nice system right there.
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗
wow what an awesome upgrade to your stereo equipment. beautiful melinda 👍im not a knowledgeable person on that lol but it seems that ; you made a Great choice 👍 merry Christmas beautiful melinda
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas! 🎄🤗♥️
Very nice stereo equipment I enjoyed this video. The Blood Sweat and Tears album I had on 8 track tape in the 70s and wore it out. I too have the Zombies album which is one of my favorites. Have a great rest of the week and Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎅
I love those old 8 track tapes. What an album! 🤗♥️ Odyssey and Oracle is my favorite of all time. Thank you for the kind words. Merry Christmas to you. ♥️🤗🎄
Very nice setup, it's always fun upgrading!
I agree. Thank you! 🤗♥️
Merry Christmas and thanks for your insights!
Thank you! Merry Christmas! 🥰🎄♥️
Just dropping in to say I really enjoy your videos! I am also an avid vinyl collector, and it’s remarkable how similar your collection is to mine. I’ve only seen a handful on your videos that I don’t have. Anyway, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. ♥️🤗 Take care.
Sweet! REL’s are great subs.
Congrats, I bet it sounds super!
Thank you very much. I'm enjoying the music very much. ♥️ Take care.
Love your channel Melinda AND your musical choices. Those are great albums, though I gave up my vinyl collection long ago. I listen to CD and SACD’s / streaming on
quobuz now. My favorite gear are my KEF 104/2 vintage speakers. I do use a Klipsch 12 sub to fill my room with rich bass.
Keep up the great content on the channel - Have a healthy and happy New Year
Thank you so much for the kind words. 🤗♥️ You have some great vintage gear. Have a wonderful new year.
❤️
I’m so glad you’re enjoying your upgrades!! It’s all about your pure enjoyment! that’s what matters!
Thank you so much. ♥️🤗 I agree.
Stunning set! Absolutely Wonderfull
Thank you very much! ♥️🤗
Congrats on another awesome purchase! I had no idea that modern systems used Speakon cables. Give Ratt's Out of the Cellar and anything from Firehouse a shot through those subs. The mix is really good! Merry Christmas Melinda!
I love Out of the Seller. ♥️ Thank you for the suggestions. Take care. 🤗
2 great additions to your set up 👏🏻👏🏻 Merry Xmas
Thank you! Merry Christmas! 🤗🎄♥️
Another fantastic video! Saw the Zombies in Portland on their Odyssey and Oracle anniversary tour a few years ago and they were outstanding! Played a few Argent songs and then the second half of the show was the album songs in order.
BTW, love your discussion of your equipment upgrade. Merry merry and happy happy, Melinda!
I saw The Zombies last year and they are still very good. I wish I had seen your show though. I would have enjoyed hearing the entire album. ♥️ Thank you so much and Merry Christmas! ♥️🤗🎄
@@MelindaMurphy Terrific show! You would have loved it!
What an incredible system my friend! Merry Christmas
Thank you! Merry Christmas. ♥️🤗🎄
MELINDA, GREAT LOOKING STEREO AND CHRISTMAS TREE. HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY.
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗 Happy Holidays. ❄️
Yaaaaaaaay! I love it that you got not just one, but two RELs!!! Glad you listened to some of us and more importantly is that you are happy and notice and appreciate it!!! Awesome and congratulations... and welcome to the REL family!!! You went big, lol! Good for you, I am so happy for you!!!
You do what you need with the tree! As long as it makes you happy and you realisingbthe difference is cool, but you're right, the trade off is worth it!
That Donald Fagen Nightfly, key track is New Frontier that got me (and my son now, lol!) into Steely Dan. I remember that song at a dark sit down pizza place with candles on the table when I was very young and they would play that song and the video too... warm memories!
Once again, congratulations and thanks for the great video!!!
Thank you! Yes, I do listen to suggestions. I appreciate it. ♥️🤗 I do enjoy these REL subs. Take care.
@@MelindaMurphy that's all that's important is that YOU enjoy it! Thank you and Happy Holidays to you and take care as well!
Huge improvements to your system over the past year. I enjoyed watching your videos and have learned a lot. My two favorite albums are the Blood Sweat and Tears and the Dave Brubeck albums you mentioned. I also use these albums to test changes in my stereo systems. I agree that appearance adds to the enjoyment of listening to music. I especially like the vintage silver face amplifiers and walnut veneered speakers of the 1970’s. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I agree. The silver face amplifiers are very cool. One of the reasons the MoFi Sourcepoint 10 speakers appeal to me is their retro look. ♥️ Performance is most important but the aesthetics are important too. Thank you and take care.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ♥️🤗🎄
So good when we finally settle down to just enjoy our equipment. It's been ages since my last upgrade but I'm still enjoying it, despite still having some low cost components. I'd love to listen to your system one of these days.
I am now looking forward to sitting back and enjoying the music without wondering what else needs improvement. Lol. What I have sounds great and I appreciate it so much. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
Merry Christmas to You, Phillip and Your Family. God Bless You
Thanks and may the Lord bless you. ♥️
Thanx Melinda help me out a lot to have an idea to geeting better on my sound quality
Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
Awesome video Melinda! Merry Christmas to you and your family! 😃♥
Thank you! Merry Christmas! ♥️🎄🤗
@@MelindaMurphy Thank you! 😃♥
Wonderful set up Melinda! Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Thank you! ♥️🤗 Happy Holidays.
@@MelindaMurphy Thank you!🤗🤗
Congratulations on the upgrade, another advantage of two subs improves the quality of bass, a less modal response by careful placement. The Blood Sweat and Tears album is one of my favorites, and the tree looks beautiful!
Yes, the subs have made a difference. ♥️ The Blood Sweat & Tears album is a favorite for me too. 🤗 Thank you and take care.
Hi Melinda great tech-happy new year -good luck
Thank you! Happy New Year. 🤗♥️
Awesome set up! I bet it sounds incredible
I am enjoying them very much. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
I have not visit your channel since you had that Yamaha. I still have mine but added a SVS pb1000. I saw a REL on sales yesterday. I love your set up and I have that Blood Sweat and Tears album. I first bought it in the 70s and listen to it last year for the first time in years and it sounds amazing. Since I played trombone I could actually hear each note. Happy Holidays to you and your husband and your daughter.
I'm so glad you stopped by my channel. The Blood Sweat & Tears album is incredible. Even my husband was impressed with the sound quality. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
Down the rabbit hole you go! Enjoy the upgrades and the quality of your records just got better.
Thank you! My records do sound even better with these upgrades. I'm very grateful. ♥️🤗
Hi Melinda 😊
I have built my ovn loudspeakers prelude from Troels Gravesen
I am so pleased with the Sound 👍
Happy Christmas 🤗
Thomas
That's wonderful! Congratulations! Merry Christmas. ♥️🎄🤗
congratulations !! you have a great audio sistem
Thank you so much. ♥️🤗
I like the Christmas tree between the speakers. That gives a whole new meaning to Brenda Lee's hit "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree."
Haha! True! 😉 Thank you and take care.
Such awesome news Melinda and its awesome you went with REL Have a pair in our holiday house system ( just the little ones) what a difference they make. Your system is really coming along I imagine you guys are loving the recent upgrades to enjoy all that music.
Hey also Wishing you and your family a very happy Xmas and a great New Year.
We are really enjoying the music in a way we never thought possible. ♥️ Thank you and Merry Christmas to you. 🤗🎄
*** Happy Holiday*** enjoy your new set up, you go only go around once as they say.
Thank you! Happy Holidays. ♥️
Melinda, you have done it right. Good equipment with a pleasing sound, wonderful turn table and cartridge, then you concentrated on outstanding speakers and a pair of premium subs! RELs are quick and accurate! Well done! I just updated my sub from an old 8" Kenwood to a 12" ELAC Varro. No duels yet, but like you said the sub upgrade really expands the sound stage! Congrats again on the RELs!
Thank you very much. I love my new subwoofers. ♥️🤗 Take care.
Merrrry Old Fashioned Christmas To You and Yours and Look Forward to more content Thank You
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas. 🤗♥️🎄
So glad you like your cool setup, Melinda! Way out of my price range, of course, LOL! But fantastic fpr sure!
I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Happy Holidays. ♥️
Great setup! I bet the new subs blend seamlessly with the Mofi speakers. The equipment you chose will give you decades of fantastic sound. Many think that multiple subs serve to just play louder, but the real benefit is the bass will be smoother and more musical wherever you sit in a room. Melinda I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and new year!
I agree with what you're saying. They definitely provide a more smooth, natural sound. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
Merry Christmas! 🤗♥️🎄
Bravo, Melinda, big upgrade there, I’d love to hear those MoFis as well as the Rels. My biggest upgrade so far was definitely my PrimaLuna amp, I’m moving soon and will have a dedicated room for the system and aim to upgrade my speakers to some really warm efficient ones that will pair better with tubes at low volumes.
Congratulations! Having a dedicated listening room is something to look forward to. 🤗♥️ Best wishes with the new speakers. Moving doesn't sound like fun but having a music room will be fantastic. Thank you and take care
I love the new equipment. I too got a wonderful early Christmas present. I got a pair of fully rebuilt Adcom GFA-565 mono-bloc amplifiers! ☺ Your subwoofer set-up is amazing, I think. I fully agree with you about the "subtlety" as a filler for the low-end of your speakers!! BTW: I absolutely love the Christmas tree!! ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words. 🤗♥️ Congrats one the amplifiers. Nice!
@@MelindaMurphy Thank you!! ☺ They were rebuilt by the Adcom guru Jon Morris, in Wyoming. They will feed my love of 1980s metal and pop. 🙂
Very much enjoyed your review of the REL sub woofers . This is based on a system in a home which clearly gives great pleasure and enjoyment
which is the reality for most and probably cannot be said for some high end magazines . Keep sharing your adventure .
Thank you for the wonderful compliment. I don't have a perfect music room. This is the heart of our home and where I love to be. This stereo equipment does an incredible job and is perfect for the area that we love to listen to music in. ♥️ I appreciate your comments and I hope you are having an amazing week. Take care.
Congratulations! I bet it’s fun to go through favorite albums to hear the new adds. I suggest listening to Analogue Productions pressing of the Doors LA Woman, particularly the song “Riders on the Storm”.
Yes, Riders of the Storm is terrific. ♥️ I almost showed that album. It is fun to experience albums I already have and know and hear new details because of my new equipment. Thank you and take care.
Very smart choice in the Rel S510 dual subwoofers. A great subwoofer, very musical without the boom boom. Rel is well known for their subwoofers, I own the S812. Be careful Melinda, your starting to dabble in "high end", great video and congrats...✌
Yes, REL makes excellent subs. I agree, for me this is definitely high end. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
Go big or don't go at all🎉❤ you rock Melinda. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas, beautiful 🎄 tree, 🎉😊by the way
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas! 🤗🎄♥️
I also use dual subwoofers in my system. It does make a difference in the sound! You touched on an important point of making the subwoofers work with your system. It’s so important to tune the subwoofers with the speakers. You don’t want to over power the main speakers. You barely want to hear the subwoofers. I’m glad you’re getting enjoyment out of your equipment!
You're exactly right. They work beautifully with the rest of the system. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphy You’re welcome! ❤️
that only means that either your amplifier isn´t good or the speakers you´re using, for having two sunwoofers it tells a lot about one´s sytem, some years ago i had a A-656MKII also from pioneer and conected to it some SB-f3 from technics 79 edition, the best ones, it gives a very good sound with any 70´s integrated amplifier or stereo receiver but with this 92 pioneer ,because of it´s assembled type it does power this great speakers ,sb-f3 that are direct listening type or you have to install them directelly to your main position of listening ,it came with a chromed tripod to regulate it´s position, i think they called it linear phase speakers but having a set of cheap CS-997 i conected them and using both sets at the same time it increased a lot the bass ,it as medium and high´s but lefting out a lot of frequencies but with the SB-F3 it revealed a very high quality with this amplifier ftrom their reference series, this with a 80´s PL-707 also pioneer,using also a SG-9500 equalizer that i only installed it because in 93 i started to buy more cds and for the first time i felt i needed a equalizer ,i had in on a 76 Pioneer catalog top end components given to me by my father but i never used it because it felt perfect without it, this using some spec.-1 and 2 and some HPM-150 that a year later i bought some good JBL speakers and using the four speakers at the same time, it flt perfect and with power enough to fill a room and be heard 3 houses next to mine,i was using first a PL-530 and after i started using a PLC-590 turntable from the 20 series which is very good and today i don´t know how many thousands of €´s it would cost to match it´s quality
Great choice going with A pair of REL's Melinda, I added 2 REL 212sx to my system, amazing sound improvement.... Congrats!
They are terrific! I'm so happy with them. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend. ♥️🤗
Just discovered your videos and lovin’ them. You bring a refreshing sanity to this wonderful, oft-crazy hobby. Is your O&O album the mono or stereo mix. Good picks on the albums. Especially like Walk Between the Raindrops and And When I Die.
Thank you very much. 🤗 My Odyssey and Oracle is in stereo. A mono copy would be very cool. Take care.
Really enjoy your videos. Wow 2 s510s. Must fill the room with sound. Thanks for the album suggestions. Totally forgot about blood, sweat and tears. We need more women in hifi! Helps me with my wife and upgrades. Thanks!
I love stereo equipment. Hopefully, I can make more videos like this in the future. 😃 The subs really did the trick. Thank you and take care.
Oh, Melinda. One ALWAYS needs to make audio equipment upgrades! :-) Merry Xmas!
I have made some big ones lately. 😃 Thank you and take care. ♥️
Great video and I love your comment "it's about the music"! Unfortunately, for a lot of snobs it's about the gear and getting "wow's" from other people, but the music? A distant second place.
I'm with you about the Christmas tree, it's a beautiful setup and whatever changes in the music, they can easily be lived with during this season.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and family and to all of your growing number of followers of your channel.
Yes, enjoying the tree is a pay off I am willing to make. ♥️🤗 Thank you and Merry Christmas. 🎄
My wife and four daughters aged between 20 and 32 clubbed together and bought me a new system last Christmas and like you, we have a large room where we listen to music so two subwoofers were essential.
The sound quality is amazing and it really ehances the whole listening pleasure.
Have a wonderful Christmas Melinda and happy listening.
I agree. For our large room, having two was a great choice. It's sweet that your girls came through for you.♥️🤗Thank you and take care.
Merry Christmas! 🤗♥️🎄
good choice 👍 got 2 of these S/510s for audio also and added 2 Arendals for HT use
Thank you. They are wonderful subs. ♥️🤗
Must be lighting or new makeup but you look great and so does that new stereo rig. I have REL and it makes a BIG difference.
Our best to you and your family Melinda...Have safe 🎄 and 🎉!!
I love the REL subs. They are of great quality. Thank you for the kind words. Thank you and Merry Christmas. 🤗♥️🎄
Hey, Melinda, I hope you and Phillip have a Merry Christmas with family and friends. I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for you!
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ♥️🎄🤗
Nice set up! Can I come over and listen to records???? 😂 Seriously, nice set up, bet it sounds amazing. Thank you for a great year of videos and info! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Wouldn't that be fun? 😃 Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ♥️🤗🎄
Nice equipment merry Christmas my friend
Thank you! Merry Christmas! ♥️🤗🎄
Aesthetics is a part of high-end audio, or high-end anything! Those RELs are gorgeous! Congratulations! And good choice!
I finally pulled the trigger on my own upgrades, but they won't arrive until after Christmas. I ordered a pair of Revel Salon 2 speakers. That's been my dream for many years. They are replacing my B&W 804 speakers I bought in about 1998. I think my new speakers will be the best I ever had and likely ever will have.
Next I want to upgrade my amp and my CD player. Currently I have an Aragon 8008 BB amp and a Sony 999es CD/DVD/SACD player, but before I had an Ayre C5XEmp player that unfortunately I had to sell during bad times. I want to upgrade the amp to a Pass Labs 350.8. I already have a Pass XP20 preamp. And I want to upgrade my Rega P1 to a Gold Note Pianosa.
Merry Christmas! Your tree looks great! I gotta decorate mine today. It's getting late!
Congratulations on your new upgrade. ♥️ I hope you love them. I do appreciate great looking equipment that performs well. Aesthetics are definitely an added bonus. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
Merry Christmas Melinda! I’ve enjoyed all your videos this year. Your musical tastes are impeccable 😁- I’m 62 and my favorite band is The Beatles and my favorite musician is EVH (still missing him). I’m always interested in your reviews (and what your husband’s take is)! Hope you both have a happy Holiday Season.
Jim
Thank you so much and I hope you have been enjoying the holidays as well. Wow! We definitely have a few things in common. I still think about Eddie every day. I'm sad he's no longer here. He was incredible and I do think The Beatles were the best band of all time. They made music that is unsurpassed. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
Nice score. Merry Christmas !!!
Thank you! Merry Christmas! ♥️🎄
Wow, I bet that system sounds awesome. I am currently doing a home remodel and part of that is upgrading some of my gear for the living room. I went with a Mofi StudioDeck with UltraDeck cart on it. I am just getting started with pre-amps and amps, so I went with a Cambridge pre-amp and an Anthem MCA 20 amp. I've never had either before, so I am excited to hear how that improves my listening experience. At some point I will need to invest in a better receiver and better subs, but for now what I have will do. Rock on Melinda!
Wow! That's exciting! I'm sure you will be very happy with your choices. ♥️ I bet you will be so happy when the work is done. Thank you and Merry Christmas! ♥️🎄🤗
S/510’s are awesome! I found that over time the run in on the subs have me turning down the gain (volume) on the back of the sub a few clicks to prevent the boominess. I also love keeping them on standby and hearing that satisfying click sound when they sense a signal and turn on. 😊
Yes, I agree. They are awesome. When used right, they are pure magic. Thank you and take care.
Great video. Congratulations on your new acquisition. You made the right decision at the correct time during your upgrade process. Subwoofers should be added after you are satisfied and happy with the rest of your system. REL makes a great sub and going stereo was a wise decision. I have an HSU ULS15 and love it. By the way, nice sweatshirt. Enjoy.
Thank you! I'm enjoying the subs and the sweatshirt. ♥️ Take care.
Well done on adding subs and for music even for My HT I like them sealed.
And you are right the sub doesn’t have to be bummy it hast to blend with tour speakers.
Now your weaker link is the power and pre.
You getting into the audiophile rabbit hole 😂😂.
And like the way it look with your Christmas tree it might help as a diffusion.
Cheers
And happy holidays to you end your family!!
Yes, perhaps the tree is actually working with the system. I will find out ina couple of weeks. Lol. I am definitely taking a break from big purchases for a while anyway. It can be a big rabbit hole. 😃 Thank you and take care.
It ain't cheap Melinda, BUT if it brings happiness I say go for it. I've finally gotten to the point that my system is exactly the way I want it. The only thing I will need SOON is a new cassette deck, a Tascam. Congrats to you on your purchase. Merry Christmas to you and Phillip---beautiful tree!!! Anything under it for me????🤩🤩
Best wishes on finding a wonderful tape deck. Thank you for the kind words. The subs are what's under the tree for me. They are my Christmas present. Merry Christmas! ♥️🎄
