| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers I'm in here late but ATC SCM100 and/or Tannoy Kensington GR and be done with it. They will sound better than anything on good recordings and very revealing of bad recordings. But there are a lot of good stuff to listen to... Look for the brands th... | |
| Bands with great second albums Actually their third, but Supertramp "Crime of the century" I think needs to be mentioned. Still remember the record shop decorating the whole store with the album cover. Sensational music.+1 for The Wild, the Innocent, the E street shuffle. A pea... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? Very interesting to know. The Thiels has given me a lot of insight into the need of clarity and of phase correct sound. However I found them a bit bass-light to use without a sub and the lack of bass bottom I think also means that you are concentr... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? Having Thiels 2.2, 3.6 and 1.7 I've been enjoying ATC and Tannoy for a while, but will soon let the Thiel's sing again. Tested a lot of subs I would suggest ATC are the best for music. Sadly rather expensive. | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound For naturalness you need a very dynamic and unforgiving speaker. Preferably a pro studio monitor, active or passive. Great suggestions would be ATC, Westlake, Quested, PSI, Unity the Boulder, Barefoot, dual centric Tannoy and many more. Westlake i... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Very enjoyable to read these posts to my morning coffee. Thankyou all that contributes! By the way - I just moved really close to the nuclear power plant that feeds my equipment. Was that a difference!! | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. Great to hear N80. An old trick to get rid of or at least dampen some resonant bass from big speakers. Socks do fine as long as you don't see them. Maybe different socks have different effect on the sound, I don't know :-).Like to say that I (agai... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Interesting with all this interest in a simple DAC. Anyone can build a "fantastic" DAC. When it's all about speakers and the room. I'm perfectly happy with a Yamaha WXC-50 feeding my ATC 150 ASL. Yes, I also got more expensive ones and a Diana fro... | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. Have you heard Budgie - In for the kill ?A great inspiration to Rush. You might think Rush was a copycat in the beginning..:-) | |
| Opera on Tidal - What Are Your Favorites? La Bohéme with Pavarotti/Freni on Decca is the true classic.Often referred to also for system/speaker testing. Mostly for its being there and with the performers in the best form ever.Nibelungen Ring /Solti on DeccaAnd why not Waters / The Wall - ... | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. What recording of the Saint-Saens' organ Symphony do you prefer? | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. Not necessarily better speakers but speakers that are quite balanced from top to bottom especially in the lower registers because the album Achtung Baby has a lot of energy below 100Hz. That is also very complicated because the room interacts a lo... | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. That's why I believe Achtung Baby could be better to judge the quality of the speakers than Aja. Everything will sound fantastic with Aja. it's thatkind of audiophile recording. Yes, I saythe speakers because the rest of the chain matter to a degr... | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. Made me revisit other U2. Tidal as always for me (when I don't have to order some cd that not exist on Tidal like I did with the only release from David Forman recently (and BBA - Live Japan and Alessi Brothers)).The latest Songs of Experience is ... | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. Hi N80Put on the Achtung Baby from Tidal and in my opinion it sounds fine. Not as detailed maybe, more power. Hear the kick-drum in So Clear. Got all the dynamic you can wish for. The bass lines are really deep which makes them hard to separate fr... |
