| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? SCM7 is a very small speaker, costing $1k new. Comparing it to the C1 ($7k) may not be a good idea. Listen to an SCM40 ($4k) and then compare it to a C1 in whatever parameters you would like to.I suggested the SCM11 approach only to get an idea ab... | |
| Calling ATC owners Dave, two things:1. ATC doesnt have any roll off, hence you will never see anyone calling ATC dull at any frequency. The choice of silk vs metal dome is purely based on what sounds more true to the timbre.2. With ATC one doesnt hear bass, treble, ... | |
| Calling ATC owners Sorry, no comparison, the ATC is a lot more natural sounding than the rather hifi-sh sounding Utopias. Moreover once you go active it is closest to the real thing that you can get on reproduced music. You are lucky to have the resources to get so ... | |

| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? You are right Noelpastor, I could not even like a Evidence Temptation when I went through the same situation as you.I could suggest you another approach in the absence of an ATC demo. You can buy a simple SCM11 from the used market for about $1.2k... | |

| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? I would also agree that you can do better wIth a purepower pp490 which just little over 1k or you can also get a monarchy audio regenerator for $600 or so but it is only 150 watt output so only source and preamps can be connected. If you still ins... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge On western classical music I too enjoy the Delos a lot. The startling dynamics this cartridge brings to the table really helps a lot in reproduction of western classical. Where I find its flaws to be prominent is while listening to classic rock (L... | |

| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge If the brain is rejecting something, there must be something artificial about it that one is too sensitive to. No amount of live music listening at any chair can fix that IMO. | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Actually sometimes very simple things when analyzed too deep seem really complex. Hifi is littered with equipments which do detail for the sake of detail, transparency at the expense of presence, soundstage at the expense of body etc etc...obvious... | |
