| Audiophile spending Our spending on music is limited by our time. My wife and I have been at this for a little over thirty years and the cummulative software at this point is in the 10,000 range. We buy about 10 or 15 cd's per week. We also go to three plus live clas... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Over the last year the topic of Tact vs. Sigtech has come up several times. In looking back at my posts on this thread I see that I didn't post here that my experience with the Tact was one year ago which I believe was one major software release a... | |
| Melos MAT-180 tube amp- anyone heard it? I don't know your speaker but for 85 db sensitivity I would suggest a pair of the Melos 400 watt monoblocks. There are various models out there. I use a pair of customized Soloists (their last model) with the Dunlavy SC-V's which are about 93 db s... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group The Sigtech unit does not yet support 24/96. I just spoke to Sigtech and they are waiting for the dust to settle on the format wars. The do have a 24/96 design. What I do is take to output of the Sigtech and run it into my dCS 972 upsampler and th... | |
| Theta Gen V owners If you are buying used get the Va and make sure it has balanced outputs even if you plan to go out single ended. I was told by Theta that there are significant improvements to the power supply and the audio circuits in the balanced units. The 24/9... | |
| The Lengths You ve Gone Through My wife and I looked at 500 houses aiming to upgrade our listening room and included an evaluation by an audio engineer as a formal contingency inspection in our offer. Once we moved in (as part of our earthquake retrofit) we had an additional 6 c... | |
| really small speakers less than 500 Check out a pair of used Linn Tukans. They are about as good as it gets for their size. | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group To tao. With the Tact alone you are not in control because the curves that you see do not track the actual in room measurements as measured by a professional impulse based instrument with full MLSSA capabilities. With the SigTech you do. If you wa... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group I am a big believer in DSP correction. I had the Tact unit in my system for a week comparing it to the Sigtech. I believe that one of the greatest short comings of the Tact unit is insufficient instrumentation power built into the unit to effectiv... | |
| Techno Anyone? To the above suggestions I would add Sven Vath, Banco de Gaia, Eat Static and American HomeGrown. | |
| Best Bach St. Matthews Passion There are many excellent recordings of this piece. I agree with Rcprince that Rilling is pretty good but not the best. The piece is so rich and complex that I think it is difficult to list a "best". Those that I have heard and would recommend woul... | |
| Heavy Metaller needs some class ical . Malmstein's Concerto for Electric Guitar and Orchestra is an interesting example of how close many Metalurgist's techniques intersect with standard classical compositional methods. While hardly one of the monuments of western music, each movement ... | |
| Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor If your flooring is wood and you have large speakers some sort of treatment is in order. I did some impulse measurements on my SC-V's (305 lbs) and on my old IMF Monitor IV's (90 lbs)in my living room. Under the location of the speakers I had cros... | |
| Heavy Metaller needs some class ical . So right Kitch29. For the lead guitarist in your life also play the Heifitz recordings of the concertos by Sibelius, Walton, Bruch, Mendelssohn and Brahms. (The order is based on my experience with several HM guitarists) | |
