The song lyrics were fun, all inclusive, and non-combative. What started out as favorite lyrics morphed into what song is this?:beerchug:

Another idea that might be interesting is to use only TWO words to describe the sound you seek in your main audio system.

My personal examples would be something like:

Accurate Warmth or
Engaging realness

My thoughts are if you cannot do this in two words only, use more sets of two words. :ksc75smile: This way it can be kept fairly brief. If others do not follow your word choices they can ask for further explanation.

Mr. Cowen is no doubt working but I am expecting "tubey maple" from him. :ksc75smile:

REL high-level inputs with Tyr

In a recent moment of weakness, I bought two REL T/9x subs to augment my B&W 804 D3s (the 20% off discount didn't help my resistance, either...).

My question is about connecting them to Tyr. I know that the Tyr is a differential amplifier and that shorting the hot/hot outputs is bad. The folks at REL released a video on how to connect the high-level inputs of the REL subs to a differential amp:

...but the video is showing a Primare A32 stereo amp, not a monoblock.

I will reach out to REL, of course, but I thought that I would check here first. Anybody done this before?

I wouldn’t recommend using high level inputs because the signal then goes through a high value electrolytic capacitor. I mean if you’re not that picky then go for it, but if you want accurate bass then use the line level inputs.

This is a separate issue from using Tyr. Refer to Schiit on that.
