| CD volume levels "Hotter" CD's in the pop jenre all have to do with marketing. When artists hear their song on the radio, and it is quiter than the next guy, they get upset. Most pop cd's have been mastered with TREMENDOUS amounts of compression and peak limiting.... | |
| Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs? Making SACD's is not as trivial as it sounds. There still is a limited amount of pro gear out there that works in DSD, and the bulk of it works with a maximum of 8 channels. DSD digital editors are also a rare breed. Not to mention that there is o... | |
| Sonic Relativism? Listening is subjective by defenition. Nobady can tell you what you can and cannot hear. We filter all information coming into our 5 sences through one very crucial system that not even the most empirical experts have come to completely understand... | |
| System for weekly traveller to use in hotel room Nothing makes me Happier than my iPod (www.iPod.com) running through my Headroom Supreme (http://www.headphone.com/layout.php?topicID=3&subTopicID=27&productID=0010012000) then feeding my Sennheiser HD580's (http://www.headphone.com/layout... | |
| Raising Speakers cinder blocks work great. They are cheap, mechanically dead, and heavy. Buy a couple of the 2 inch thick "bricks" used as step stones in a garden store, and sandwich a piece of rubber matting between them to couple them together. I've seen this us... | |

I have a dedicated room however, and I can see why this would not be practical in a family room. I use i... | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? TWL,Don't really want to try to defend too much of what's coming out of the professional pop music recording industry, but I do want to clarify one thing.The real reason the Yamaha NS-10 is the "most used" nearfield in pop studios by professionals... | |
| best used speaker for around 2500? I would also recommend the ProAc 2.5's, However, the bass can be overwhelming in rooms your size unless you have the capability to listen in the nearfield and have some absorbative furniture/acoustic treatments. Otherwise, save some money and get ... | |

| Bryston 4B ST Opinions Needed Please I'm another very satisfied owner of a 4BST. It truly is just an amplifier. By this I mean that it really does not have its own sonic signature. It takes its input signal, and adds voltage and current faithfully, and in some cases with brutal hones... | |
| Proac and Golden Tube SE-40 tee557, I havn't heard the SE-40 with the ProAc's, but I'm using ProAc 2.5's currently with a Cary SlA 70B Signature that puts out 60W per side. The one nice thing about the ProAcs is that the have a relatively benign impedance vs. frequency curve... |
