| Professional vs. Consumer speakers Kind of funny, but most of the better studios that are concerned with "audiophile grade" or just plain old "high quality" reproduction have gone to using "hi-end" speakers rather than the typical "professional studio monitors" that they were using... | |
| What's your favorite album cover art ? Thanks a lot Tim : ) Anybody remember the barely risque' covers from Roxy Music that ended up getting "edited" ??? Sean> | |
| What's your favorite album cover art ? The eerie and spooky artwork of H.R. Giger appears on or in many of my favorite albums. Some of his stuff is very creepy yet has intense "drawing power". The interior of his house looks just as freaky. I'm sure others will come to mind, but his st... | |
| Compliance compatibilty for low mass linear arms? I'm kind of in the same boat over here Twl. I think that you're "gut feeling" is probably right, as those were the same thoughts that i had too. Sean> | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? Tweeker, I was not suggesting the Manger's, only passing on info that i found interesting and thought that others might too. As to your comments about Lowther's, my very limited experience with them was not that thrilling either. Most folks that i... | |
| PsAudio 300? After doing a lot of reading about these ( never used one myself ), i'd simply pass on that the general consensus is that 300 watts of rated output is somewhat "liberal". Most folks say that they find these to work best and run a LOT cooler with a... | |
| Audio and HT - Finding Balance It is too bad that nobody makes a simple piece like the old Adcom GSP-560 that is AC-3 / DTS capable with a bit more power. I think that it would sell like hotcakes as it was both convenient and practial due to solving this very problem. Sean> | |
| Replacing internal wiring. Sol322, i have a pretty good idea of how to solder and would venture to say that i've performed well in excess of 100,000 solder joints in the last few years. Even with all of the past experience that i have and trying to "clean and prep" the surf... | |
| Best CD player Homedesign, you keep spouting off about "source material" and "psycho-acoustics" as if one can not hear differences in components or that one should only listen to good recordings. How many people would be willing to sacrifice TONS upon TONS of "e... | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? If studios were trying to mimic what end users where using to listen to recordings on, they would not have went with the Yamaha's. They would be using Bose 301's. As far as i know, they are ( or at least they used to be ) the best selling speaker ... | |
| Marsh or McCormack Homedesign, you're cracking me up to say the least. For the record, Richard Marsh was the first designer / builder to come up with a preamp that unconditionally passed J. Peter Moncrieff of International Audio Review's ( IAR ) "straight wire bypas... | |
| Argent Room Lenses? Yeesh, i've always thought that those things would be the end of any type of WAF in terms of room treatments. I find them pretty appalling looking myself let alone what a woman worried about "interior decorating" might think. Judging by the "bundl... | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? What is "best" is obviously going to be quite subjective and personal. As to the ATC stuff, it appears that they have the same loyal follows that tend to cheer on Bryston gear. To each their own.... Sean> | |
| Best CD player So many people that i respect have said such good things about the Audio Aero Capitole that it HAS to be good. Other than that, the Electrocompaniet is a very nice sounding unit. The earlier non 24/192 EC-1 smoked the SCD-1 in a head to head compa... |
