| ATC SCM 50A active towers review mofojo Correct, Weiss 501 DAC directly into ATCs with Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 interconnects XLR both ends. DAC is the preamp. Have NOT messed with DSP yet. Waiting for full break-in of both pieces first. Cheers | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Congratulations! The Weiss 501 is a Tour de Force DAC! It simply takes hold, organizes and controls the entire affair. I moved from the Mojo Mystique 3 which is quite good to the 501 and never looked back. Of course, there is a price discrepan... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? tobes Thanking for responding in detail about your credible experience and knowledge with isolation devices AND the Isoacoustic Gaia footers. I run the Gaia I under my ATC 50A actives with great affect, but respect that the Townshend may well be... | |
| Focal trio 11 be Have not. However, quite familiar with active speakers and will never go backwards (IMHO). Started with Quad 12L active, moved onto ATC 40A active and presently and quite recently ATC 50A active. The Focal Trio 11 Be should be thrilling! All o... | |
| I heard a costly system from Esoteric. 13K for a CD player. Wow! I'm trying to wrap my head around that. I've never heard that player, but I left a rather great CD player years ago and moved to a music server which is miles ahead acoustically. Resolution, sound staging, attack, dyn... | |
| Is EMI noise in electrical system inaudible? When living on a mountain on the south side of Innsbruck, my powered on Proton table radio without prompting would occasionally emanate a garbled broadcast. When I shared the information with locals, they told me that there were some powerful tra... | |
| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... To my knowledge, Fletcher and Munson engaged in the research that lead to discovery of human hearing discrepancies at different frequencies. https://www.teachmeaudio.com/recording/sound-reproduction/fletcher-munson-curves Hence, the Loudnes... | |
| A Warning for Owners of Furman IT Refernence 20i Owned a 15i Elite for years and it functioned flawlessly. Replaced with Decware ZLC which smoked (figuratively) it completely. The ZLC made everything much quieter and more dynamic. So, in a weird way, perhaps the smoked unit did you a favor an... | |
| Whither Vitus? Or….you might talk to the dealer from whence the Fyne speakers came. That’s an assumption…..from a dealer. Otherwise +1 for armstrod. Big Ear Stereo sells Fyne speakers, that would also be a resource. | |
| SS Substitute for Tube Integrated? Under the radar, quite good and yes I own one, the ATC CA2 SS preamp. New it's $3200 so used probably 2.4K. It's very musical and really fast. | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? My ATC 40As also sound great. In fact phenomenal. The question simple enough is how many commenting about the ATC speakers actually own them? That's all. Thanks | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? I simply love ‘confirmation bias’ in full swing. The confusion and obfuscation created is wonderfully entertaining if not troubling. | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? I set up decent systems for the the Airmen of Note bari player Don New and for a reed player friend who played all of the major hotel/casinos in the 60s. They both had dismal setups. That’s my foray into that world. I’m sure it varies. | |
| Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions http://coincidentspeaker.com/speakers.htm Owned a pair of the Triumph monitors years ago and they were solid performers. Israel has been doing this successfully for a long time. | |
| What was the most impactful addition to your system? Nak 500 tape deck internally biased for Maxell UDXL ll tape. Cheap NAD flat tonearm table which eviscerated my expensive Denon direct drive table, next stop AR belt drive. Weiss 501 DAC which clearly bested my Mojo Mystique' 3 which I thought wa... |
