| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? They’re good enough. My rule is simple. If there’ s a long debate about a tweak. Leave it. Invest in what clearly matters. | |
| NSMT model 100 Hi sslide, I think I can hear the solo and the delayed noteas as clear on my system (quested v31110 monitors+svs sb-16 sub/altern. big ATCs) but your description of the NSMT speakers sounds really tempting. I'll look out for them but probably not ... | |
| NSMT model 100 Thanks for the insights into the solo in Dreamer. No guitar player myself but often wondered how it was made. Tommy Bolins musicality and technical skills are not to find today. To me and my brother he was the no.1 and we seldom agree :-). Maybe y... | |
| Tidal vs ATC I got the ATC 150 actives. But, sorry to say, since some time they stand silent while they can not pull me away from the combination of Quested v3110 monitors with svs sb-16 subs (and a RME dac).What you might forget in the discussion is that the ... | |
| Great country recording Lots of fantastic music here. Just don't miss the great great Guy Clarke. I'm sure you'll find some dobro from Darrell Scott in his songs. Try finding Keepers (live recording). | |
| NSMT model 100 It seems to remind a lot on a swedish speaker called signature pi60 with a cult following which been in production for the last 20 years. Often complemented with a 4-subbass system. | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? Yes, its all that and more. You may sleep very well with the RME in your system. And it should be close to $1,000. | |
| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? To find the right position for the speakers and the listening place in your room, to get accustomed to the speakers, to eq the speakers where necessary, that could take a couple of weeks. I guess you can call it break-in period. But if you don't l... | |
| Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers +1 mijostynIt was a horrifying experience the first time I measured the actual frequency response at my listnening place. And I believe my room isn't too bad. Recommend everyone to do that. Then we can talk. | |
| Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers What I think unfortunately is missing in the Loki is the 4 khz control. If your Marantz got that it might be useful to try it. Our ears are very sensitive in the 3-5 khz area. Otherwise no. | |
| Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers If you knew how much the recording been eq’d before it is put on your vinyl....and in the RIAA you have a huge eq system already. What’s not been eq’d is your speakers in your room and you need to do that to get a more even sound at least between ... | |
| Bass at your ears? (Bass imaging) There are more songs on that album with interesting sound effects. Actually modern music often gives "HiFi" speakers lots of problems. It's not always "crap recordings" as we tend to say when it doesn't sound so good. | |
| How much is "LOUD" still a reference point for some? Recommend a look at the RME ADI-2 dac and its smart loudness functionality. | |
| Bass at your ears? (Bass imaging) But yes, I suppose he plays a lot with the phase button on the album to create these illusions. Mostly with his voice. | |
| How much is "LOUD" still a reference point for some? Depends on in what way you will use the speaker. You always need at least 10 decibel headroom. |
