| Best speakers for Pink Floyd? As several have mentioned, Pink Floyd use ATC Speakers for studio monitoring (Listening and refining their work before it gets released to market). If you have some special appreciation for the care with which Pink Floyd have produced their albums... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. For sure more color is attention grabbing just like a speaker with boosted bass and treble can seem wonderful in a short audition and particularly with certain tracks like Daft Punk. Over the years though, an accurate response will better portray ... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. For those of you replacing equipment or spending your $ chasing more "palpable" sounds of particular instruments on particular recordings - you won't ever stand a chance of achieving overall improvement on each and every recording. The only way to... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Oxymoron. "Very accurate" is going to convey the music as intended and deliver the full emotional impact. Anything else is just a goofy coloured lens that makes everything sound similarly sweet or harsh or boomy or whatever colourful and eventuall... | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy Try old school speakers pulp paper and fabric drivers. You seem too focused on technologically advanced speakers that perform well on paper using rigid drivers. rigid drivers have great performance on frequency response bandwidth (technical) but t... | |

| Using Professional Amps On Home Theater Speakers My preference would be Crown or Bryston | |
| Grace Potter and the Nocturnals? A fan here too! | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? I think there are much better organized technical sites without the endless repetition seen here. After answering the XLR vs RCA interconnects question for the seven hundredth time it all begins to feel rather pointless. The other aspect here is t... | |
| What started you on your audiophile journey . Nothing in particular. I just like music. I heavily regret not being a musician. I blame myself as being too lazy as a kid and having music teachers that were so boring and who didn't give a toss about kids. My mistake was getting to heavily into ... | |
| Apple Mac Mini as a music server I feed the DAC1 directly with 24/96 output from the mac mini. This 24/96 output means that my hi-resolution 24/96 files are not downsampled. It also makes no difference to the majority of my lossless collection burned from CD - these are simply up... | |
| Apple Mac Mini as a music server Yes. I am using a mac mini with a Benchmark DAC 1. | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... Well Said Macdadtexas. You are absolutely right. Yours is the sensible answer. Players will go the way of VCR's... |
