| speakers for 24/96 audio And if they do sound so unpleasant, why when I listen to higher res stuff through a Benchmark DAC it doesn't sound noticeably better? You can buy Tom Petty Mojo in CD or in HD and compare. There is a difference but most of the difference is due to... | |
| Hrmm..24/96 Deluxe Ed of Damn the Torpedos The anthology box CD set has been compressed. You can read about this on line. I have the compressed CD's AND the bluray of the anthology which is uncompressed (as the band hears it). I am afraid you prefer the sound of compressed music rather tha... | |
| Hrmm..24/96 Deluxe Ed of Damn the Torpedos Eniac26The reason you have to use the volume is because the dynamic range is preserved. 99.99% of all pop/rock is crushed by compressors so that there is no dynamic range left at all. So just crank it - on a good setup that can handle the large dy... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... depeche mode construction time again was amazing. I'll never forget the sound of the nadaswaram on Everything counts... Synth pop at it's most innovative.Fwiw I think the remix of everything counts ruined it. | |
| Hrmm..24/96 Deluxe Ed of Damn the Torpedos I found it extremely good - better than MFSL. The clarity is superb. I use the same speakers as Tom Petty and the same as his sound engineer Ryan Ulyate -maybe that has something to do with it? | |
| Is the Accuton driver that good? He stipulated a"good" driver(not any driver) and he`s right, a good speaker is the result of the total package,Yes, you are correct. I stand corrected. For some reason I read, "any good speaker" rather than "any good driver" - anyway it read like... | |
| Is the Accuton driver that good? The sound of any good driver depends on the skill of the speaker designer Huh? So one can simply use cheapest drivers with small diameter voice coils, small magnets and with a long coil in a short gap and it will still sound great depending on th... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? #1 in the UK 1976 | |
| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? I would be shocked it you didn't like any one of those better. I am quite sure I would appreciate them all. They all have a great reputation but I am sufficiently happy with the DAC1 that I have no urge to change. I think there is a stage you rea... | |
| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? With all "legendary" products you will get the extremists out, trying to prove to everyone that they have something far far far superior.The DAC1 received near universal acclaim from pros and it got glowing reviews from many.1) It measures beyond ... | |
| Dire Straits Brothers in Arms Comparison The XRCD is outstanding. The original CD is very close to the vinyl. The CD remasters are not good (hot or loud). You get don't get grain but due the extreme clarity it sounds a little unnatural (recorded in a dead environment). I mean you are hea... | |
| ATC scm 19 vs ATC scm 20SL? Bob,IMHO, it is the the extended bass (down to 40 Hz) that you get with the bigger models. A large woofer will pressure up the room. It may be something we not only hear but feel. In any case you can definitely achieve similar results with a sub a... | |
| ATC scm 19 vs ATC scm 20SL? I've never heard an ATC (but would love to someday). Bob it is true that diminishing returns are reached quickly in small active monitors (much quicker than passives). Veneer and good looks do add significantly to the cost and these are real cost... | |
| Anthem D2 runs Not surprising given the video processing capabilities. | |
| MiniMonitor 33lbs w/realistic vocals,not bright. Genelec 8020B might be convenient in the corner of a bedroom.If you want more bass then there is a compatible subwoofer from Genelec.Polished polite and detailed is the sound they give. |
