| If Steve Got You Last Week... I don’t have Tidal or Qobuz to compare, I have been thinking about trialling one or the other to do a comparison.Others on Audiophile style, using a similar setup to myself, report local files generally sounding better than streamed services - eve... | |
| If Steve Got You Last Week... When people are talking about streaming here I assume they mean the likes of Tidal and Qobuz. I find streaming files I have ripped from CD and play from my diy streamer sound much better than when played from the CD player I had. | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Thanks had not seen the TAS review.They were designed as an active speaker initially so I guess it makes sense that the active is generally preferable.Colloms seems particularly keen on Naim power amps - having used them for many years myself, I d... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Thanks douglas_schroederHiFi Critic, a respected UK mag, did a comparison between the standard passive ATC 50 and the standard active 50 version.http://atcloudspeakers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/ATC_SCM50ASL_Review_Hi-Fi_Critic_Sept_19.pdfM ... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Having various passive speakers for around 30 yrs I always remember being impressed by a casual listening experience with ATC 100s active. I was not getting the imaging and three dimensional projection, I had heard from the ATCs, with my own Isoba... | |
| Tidal vs ATC I have used active ATCs for about 15 years. The first pair a classic 50s then anniversary 50s - I now have a pair of the tower 100s with the anniversary amp packs I purchased as a special order, together with a C6 sub. I have not heard the Tidals.... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps Active speakers are a good way to save space. | |

| linn sondek tt The last LP12 I had was in 2005 current spec at the time, lingo 2 etc.I initially used naim electronics with it - then a BAT ph10 se, BAT 51se and Benz ebony LP - much better than the naim sound. I used the same Bat gear and cart with the sme an... | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? Have a XL DC upgraded from my previous XL 4. I use a 4pt and ref313 arm.Have tried a Coral stone in the 4pt - they did not gel at all, produced a rather dull and un-dynamic sound.My friend who brought the coral stone over has heard similar result... | |
| linn sondek tt I had Linns for 20yrs. Went through the upgrade cycle Linn so cleverly incorporated into ownership. Compared my dealer set up LP12 to a mitchell orbe fitted with an ekos and Lyra cart, as was my Linn - preferred the Orbe. My initial replacement ... | |
| Tube vs Solid State I know someone who drives his BW 800s with krell monos and uses 2 x velodyne subs - sounds great | |

| Lyra Atlas experiences I use a kuzma 4pt for my Atlas. Have had a range of carts in the Kuzma, Benz, airtight, vdh etc. The Atlas is the best sounding, excellent dynamics, tonality and tracking. I did have a sme 20 with the the smeV arm, but this was previous to me o... |
