| Biggest Sound in the Littliest Box Disclaimer: I am a Talon Audio Dealer.VERY good suggestions from everyone so far. Out of those mentioned so far, I really like Totem the best. Some that have not been mentioned yet that I also really like are: Talon Khite-C, Audes Studio, Vienna A... | |
| What is Redbook? Bomarc...Where did you read, see, hear that info? Based on every HDCD article I have ever read, HDCD is indeed a 20-bit binary word length recording. Please correct me if I am wrong (I would appreciate a source so I could check it out myself).Than... | |
| What is Redbook? TJ...EXCELLENT explanations. Couldn't have said it better myself. Ron...One of the MOST common questions my customers ask me is why I keep saying Redbook when referring to CDs (I can usually tell they are about to ask me when I see the blank stare... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk? Dave1117...Yes, any older EMC-1 can be upgraded. The associated upgrade costs are as follows (retail):24/96 -> 24/192 $100024/192 -> Latest Upgrade $80024/96 -> 24/192 PLUS Latest Upgrade $1800There are a few authorized dealers (myself in... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk? Streetdaddy...The easiest way is just to look at the gold plate on top of the player. It will clearly state 24/192 on the plate and there will also be a "UP" designation on the back of the player. Unfortunately, this is not a sure thing, as it is ... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk? Hey, I don't appreciate being called a horse ;-) In all seriousness, Jayme has a VERY valid concern. A customer obtaining an EMC-1 that is advertised as the latest, and is not, is a very real possibility (whether the seller does it on purpose or n... | |
| Which hi-end Sony SACD player to buy? Disclaimer...I am a Xindak dealer.Hello...Anyone considering a new SACD player should add the new Xindak SCD-2 to their list of must audition. I only bring this up because I don't think many people have even heard of this brand and it should NOT b... | |
| Elect. EMC-1 Mk II vs. Audio Aero Capitole Mk II ? Disclaimer: I am an Electrocompaniet dealer.Rxlarry99,With all due respect to Jtinn, there are many that would disagree with his statement that the Audio Aero is better than the EMC-1. With that said, the Audio Aero is a wonderful player and one o... | |
| is electro emc1 balanced? All,FYI...The EMC-1 is a TRUE balanced design. As Judit basically states, it is always a good idea to NOT assume a component is true balanced, however, just because it has XLR inputs/outputs. Always check with the maufacturer or dealer to confirm ... | |
| Full range rear speakers I would DEFINITELY agree with Def Tech being for theater (although they aren't that great for that purpose either). They are terrible for music (my opinion, so be nice). The older NHT line (the speakers designed by Ken Kantor) are VERY good for bo... | |
| Full range rear speakers Marty,I don't think it is completely wasted, but if you are looking at 100% HT, I personally wouldn't spend the extra money. I will put it this way: Speakers designed for "music" sound great with HT applications, but speakers designed purely for t... | |
| Full range rear speakers "Multi-poop", that is a good one ;-) Haven't heard it stated that way before, ROFLMAOAll I was saying was that the bass of the Osprey will be more musical simply because it was designed to be so (as compared to the HSU).In a sense you are correct,... | |
| Full range rear speakers Marty,Depends on what the application will be. If you are going to listen to a lot of multichannel music, then you might want the higher quality bass that the Osprey will provide, over the HSU (great sub by the way, bass just won't be as fast and ... | |
| Full range rear speakers Marty,The Swifts certainly have a small stature, but boy is the sound BIG. I do understand what you are saying though. I am of the same frame of mind, BIGGER is better ;-) Just buy Talon Khorus X for all channels, that should solve your size conce... | |
| Full range rear speakers This is a good thread and brings up a long debated topic: Full-range in the rear or not? My opinion is that if you can do it (meaning, afford it), then full-range in ALL channels is the best solution and the most enjoyable. One of the problems tha... |
