| Review: Music Interface technologies Shotgun S2 Proline 1M Interconnect Thanks for the heads up on the MIT speaker cables. I'm good there for now with the SR Sig 10 active bi wires. But I'll keep those in mind.The trouble I have with MIT cabling until you hit the Oracle lineup, seems to be that they bleach out or turn... | |
| Help me build a fine PC sound system Cerrot ONce the signal is converted from 1394 or USB, the world is your oyster.You might want to at some point, try either the Hiface, stick or EVO, or just go on up to the Lynx AES 16, card.I had various M Audio cards, and a couple converters in ... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? OK Bob.. Thanks…I’ll cruise by Sound on Sound and have a look around.MartyMakes sense to me, as that definition coincides with my critical thinker. Active meaning all 3 sides of the triangle are in play… filtering, amplification, and drivers in on... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Some or much of my own confusion rests in the terminology being used I suspect. I’m understanding so far, an active speaker may or may not have it’s own power cell to fuel the speakers with, and that active units pre-determine the optimum range fo... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? ShadorneYou keep bringing up good points and that’s outstanding. Thanks.I was wondering about that dedicated monitor application too, and the environment it usually resides within. Nominally a well treated not too distant, at times near field sett... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Ojgalli >> Active x/o actually solves loads of problems. What's the logic (or benefit) of taking the amplified signal and dumping it into yet another circuit? But then, isn't that what must happen for any speaker to make noise? Either the X ... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Thanks folks... very much.Again... are active speakers generally speaking, of modular design so if amps fail the whole enclosure doesn't have to ship?Were I to go down this lane I'm figuring 5K or so will be the bullet I'll use to bring down the p... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Ecruz Having seen the price for the big ACTS.. I should think being impressed ought to happen when first demoed.I get the imp from many such reviews, save those on the Quad and Adam monitors, some self powered units have stupendous atack capabilit... | |
| Help me build a fine PC sound system tHANKS FOR THE THOUGHT ON THE qUADS!I was wondering when some votes for active speakers would land.In fact i'M WONDERING ABOUT ACTIVE SPEAKERS AS A VIABLE ROUTE FOR A GREAT MAIN SYSTEM. | |
| Help me build a fine PC sound system Thanks so far... to everyone.actually a 'stand alone' system is the aim. No iPod dock, no dedicated DAC, no dedicated int amp or receiver.So active speakers, and a USB or fire wire sound card that is a step or two up from what I have now... it's n... | |
| Most expensive Audio disapoinment? Most expensive audio disappointment?Finding out you can never be satisfied with the system you put together, regardless how good great or outstanding it actually may be.In other words the audio treadmill of incessantly buying and trying this and t... | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? OK.. yeah, I saw some notes of it online in a review. FUBAR & JR MC utilize similar concepts for replay. MC does allow for the from memory option, and both allow for ways to avoid the Windows sound mixer via ASIO, WASAPI, & Kernal Streamin... | |
| A new take on built in room treatments? NgjockeySorry... I simply did not get the correlation, as I was focusing initially on filling the spaces between the studs on the rear of that wall with absorptivwe materials. You are right though... difussion is in order too and bamboo would be a... | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? Pure Music?Say what? Is that an iTunes plug in? Or for Macs only?Yeah... I bet you would have bought the Hiface anyhow... as you would have figured the SQ could be better still, not having experienced the Hiface!Fried, huh? Amazing.The PS Audio Du... | |
| A new take on built in room treatments? NgjockeyForgive me, but I fail to see the application of the Bamboo in this scenario... mind expanding a bit more.I'm already tossing around the idea of using wicker/rattan/ loosely woven 'basket like' fixtures almost like African or Asian war Shi... |
