| External XO Question High end "graphic" EQ’s are a tough thing to find today. Most were professional (like the dbx) so they were balanced. Klark Technique was well known graphic EQ manufacturer back in the UK a long time ago, considered a good sounding one. Not neutra... | |
| Bad sounding recordings Well there is aiming for a market that requires differnt production- such as FM radio. I would say the majortiy of the older records that dont sound good (Led Zepplin comes to mind) are usually about the gear used and the limits of mastering and ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active? And to add to what @deep_333 just said, I think there is far more sonic variations to discover in what's BEFORE the amplifiers: preamps, linestages, DACS, phono cartridges, arms and turntables, cables , streamers, etc. Brad | |
| Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active? Sorry @spoutmouzert Sort of looked like I picked on you when I didnt mean to do that. I meant to take issue wirh the idea that pro people are clueless and have no idea what sounds good. While one can find plenty of examples that support this, ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active? @spoutmouzert i don’t agree with your statement that studio folk don’t buy a good “preamp”. Most hi end pro folks do indeed spend a lot on preamps in the form of expensive mic preamps (API or Neve or A Designs or Daking), expensive consoles (AP... | |
| Hi End Audio Technician in Las Vegas Have you called Elite AV? Pretty sure they will work on a system that isn't their own. Brad | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... HI @glai The SE uses all discrete amplifers, the best [sounding] amplifiers ATC makes. More esolution, finer detials are more clear, etc. Yes ATC has made external amp actives for a long time. IN the pro side they make the SCM200 and 300- ... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... I can say this, we get more calls about active now (regarding info on ATC as we are the importer) than ever before. I think this bias against active is beginning to change. Not that passive will go away, but some are beginning to want to scale d... | |
| Octave HP 300SE Preamp into ATC Active speakers @seadog137 Did you ever try this combo? I wouldnt think it would be a problem, as long as the preamp has a output above 2V. Brad | |
| ATC SCM 7 V 3 Review HI Celtic Very nicely written and you understand this speaker perfectly. Not many do but its a gem in ATC’s line up. Years ago I used to demo the SCM7 by putting it on a larger speaker, like a SCM40 3 way floor stander, at shows. Id play the SCM7... | |
| shy about prices @tomic601 tomic 601- arranging a simple global price structure is quite difficult as it the same exact problem you describe accurately above applies to any business in their home market. So a German company can sell for less in Germany while en... | |
| shy about prices @tomic601 I know one mysterious cost that is hidden for all but the distributor- the tremendous cost of freight from a country far away. THis can add a LOT to the cost of the product by the time you get it! MAny of these smaller hi fi companies... | |
| shy about prices @grislybutter Yes I get that. Frustrating for us both, as we cannot control the dealers or tell them what to do. We can only give them an opportunity-some take it and some dont. The internet business is a completely different thing to the local... | |
| shy about prices @grislybutter I actually couldn't agree more about how it looks from your side. Its something we have wrestled with and asked ourselves what the right thing is. I think we are going to work on adding prices to our lone mountain site as the need ... | |
| shy about prices I think there is a lot of misinformation in this thread and it's only just started! It's clear a lot of people feel factories are just trying to rip everyone off. My experience having worked for quite a few of them is that there are some peopl... |
