| Rock and Roll System Try the larger ATC loudspeakers. They come both powered and unamplified. They can go very loud cleanly and they can deliver nuance/texture extremely well. Your system doesn't need to add anymore grundge then is already in the recording. | |
| What High End Manufacturers Could Learn From Bose Justacoder's car analogy is most revealing. I for one have never driven a Ferrari, but I know know their mystique. I don't expect high end companies to battle for mid-fi market share, but I want high end companies to at least define in the public'... | |
| Hi-Fi and Pro equip. like Mackie, Stewart or JBL The short answer is that pro sound reinforcement equipment is not sonically comparable to high end home equipment. The pro equipment is more ruggedly built and is designed to withstand abuse that would destroy a typical high end equipment. Unfortu... | |
| Anyone using i tunes as a computer based jukebox? David, the RME 96 series audio card does not have D/A converters. It comes standard with S/PDIF and AES/EBU input/output. | |
| What is your listening bias Good question. Here's my two cents.What's important - that I'm listening to good music. Where won't I compromise - I won't listen to bad music. Live music is basically irrelevant. Most of the music I listen to does not have a direct live equivalen... | |
| Just purchased Wilson Maxx's. Now what ?? Amps? Your question is perplexing. Why would anyone buy a speaker like the Wilson without already having a firm idea of what they are doing? The Audiogon forums are a marvelous source of information regarding high end audio issues, but I don't think it ... | |

| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? There was a time when jazz was America's popular music. It was THE music of young people. The tunes were straight forward, easy to listen to with hummable melodies and above all you could dance to them. Bebop essentially destroyed these popular el... | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? I believe Ray Charles said the following:"It's all folk music 'cause donkeys don't make music."Those are wise words from Brother Ray, an accomplished jazz singer -- well actually he was an R&B singer, except for when he sang those C&W song... | |
| Anyone gone from a single REL sub to stereo subs? I highly recommend going with stereo subs. My experience are with the REL Stadium IIIs. I started with a single and added the second sub within 2 months. As best as I can describe it, the sound of the system "relaxed" with the added sub. It's a su... | |
| How Do You Decide What to Listen To? Interesting replies. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw a little of themselves in "High Fidelity".In another thread I described how I transferred my CD collection to a computer based digital jukebox. Recently I've even started to transfer parts... | |
| 'Solid Steel' Rack Distributor ? About a year ago, I made an inquiry with Sound By Singer (NYC) who said that they could still get Solid Steel stands. | |
| High End Components - How long do they last? It's hard to say because even well built products may require occassional maintenance. For electronics a capacitor failing, or a solder joint loosening are probably the most common causes of equipment not working. While annoying, these problems ar... | |
| Speaker efficiency vs. power requirements Your conclusion about amplifier requirements is not valid. Your dynamic range numbers for both analog and digital are off. Analog tape can have approximately a 60dB range. I've seen several different numbers regarding digital, but the effective ra... |
