| Recommendation for ATC SCM150 Amp/Pre @ei001h with the ATC passives? Audia Flight FLS-9 Integrated amp ( has the horsepower), Moon 641 integrated. In prior systems have had many amps (as an EE, I have a passion for power amps) In no particular order: Luxman M-900u, Simaudio 870Av2, ... | |
| Recommendation for ATC SCM150 Amp/Pre @ei001h congrats on those ATCs! I have the SCM40 v2 and drive them with a Simaudio Moon 761. Stunning synergy. Up there with classic synergy like Luxman/Harbeth. The 761 shares the same MDCA tech as the 861 amp, which is what you should audition i... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? I had a Lumin U2 and experimented with fiber direct to its SFP port from a GIGE switch also with SFP fiber port; Researched the heck out of it and ordered all the parts from DigiKey. Let it settle for a week. To my ears it did not sound as good as... | |
| Burmester 218..... Don’t feed pizza to trolls | |
| Meitner MA3 I had the MA3 for several months; it’s an excellent DAC and a serious value especially at the price offered to you. Used with RJ-45 cable to network switch and I was off to the races. Roon recognized immediately and no buggy software issues; To b... | |
| ATC SCM40A speakers @lonemountain yep that's what I meant :) Thanks for the details. The more I learn about the engineering behind ATC, the greater is my appreciation for them. Cheers | |
| ATC SCM40A speakers @tomcarr I'll chime in, as a newcomer to home audio with ATC, I am running the passive SCM40 V2's with a Moon North 761 amp. I spent a few hours at my local dealer listening to the SCM40 actives and passives. The Active versions were driven by the... | |
| Do you have a perfect digital marriage? @2psyop Fun 🧵!! Power and Networking: -Fiber to house -EERO Mesh network -GIGE SW with LPS -IsoTek Genesis EVO Regen powering IsoTek Aquarius EVO condtiioner -Roon Nucleus One with Teddy Pardo LPS -Purist Audio 🐱 8 Ethernet Cable from GIGE... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… @avanti1960 i felt the very same way about all my Harbeths until I auditioned ATC. They have the potential ( setup dependent) to portray that incredible transparent midrange realism of properly setup Harbeths, but the ATC’s extend top and bottom a... | |
| Luxman Preamps Of course you can. Just use the separate button on the 509 and run single ended cables from c900 to “amplifier-in”; | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… @freediver copy that. Good excerpt. I really do love Harbeths and always wanted to try the babies in a small near field setup; I’ve discovered, however that for the overall genres of music I love, ATC SCM40 v2 have that juicy vibe and incredibly t... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… @freediver I believe instead of BS, it’s called an opinion, and believe it or not, some members actually have differing experiences that shape these things called opinions. Enjoy the music!🎶 | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… @toddcowles nice post I enjoyed a few models from Harbeth; SHL5+XD, C7ES3 XD, M40.2 and M40.3XD. Tried them all in a few different rooms and with tons of different electronics. My favorite was the SHL5+XD in a smaller room with high ceilings; som... | |
| ATC active vs. passive SCM150 are serious business :) I love tube amps. One of my all time favorite tube amps is a Luxman MQ-88uc, but careful consideration goes a long way, as i'm sure you know: room/speaker/ realistic expectations on scale etc. With the SCM150 and y... | |
| ATC active vs. passive @ei001h I was looking at the other amps you used with your SCM40’s; The Mastersound starts clipping (1%) around 10 wpc. The Grandinote is rated at 37 wpc and starts clipping (1%) around 30 wpc. Neither amp produces close to double the power as imp... |
