| Should Equalizers make a comeback? Parametric EQ is useful in the bass to help tame room modes. Otherwise I think tone controls are all that is needed at home - and then only used sparingly to tweak for the room and setup. | |
| Active Vs. Passive To clarify, I'm very familiar with active speakers Do you sell active speakers? | |
| Best surprisingly good value component I doubt many people will have owned and sold 11 DACs and then sold the last one they preferred the most because the wife did not use it. | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 Get The Most Out Of Your DAC-1 My DAC1 is rev. G and is free from mentioned problems.Ditto here - mine is a rev. G and out of the box it sounds great - although I have never tried the RCA outs and I run it variable. | |
| Active Vs. Passive Just picked up a pair of Genelec 8020B's for use at the office with my 4G 32GB iPhone as a source (9000+ tracks). I checked it out in a pro audio music store and was astonished how well they performed. I had looked and listened to Audioengine A5's... | |
| Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ????? Yes it seems that Harbeth designs vary a lot from model to model and the 40.1 is not the star in their line up - I'd say the Compact 7ES-3 is their best at the moment. | |

| Are my ears just fooling me? I am always dumbfounded of how the sax fills the room with this amazingly warm and low "buzz" if you will. I assume you are talking bari sax as this can hit about 65 Hz?I can confirm that Tower of Power Soul Vaccination Live is a good recording t... | |
| Are my ears just fooling me? Try the Sheffield Labs drum track recording - close your eyes and listen. If that sounds like somebody playing on a drum set with you in the room then stop worrying.The biggest difference between live music and live instruments is dynamics and hig... | |
| Best Rock Drummers Check this out this outAlthough everyone tends to focus on fills and athletic solos the reality is that the main job of a drummer is to groove. It is much harder to achieve a groove instantly and consistently than it sounds - few can do it as well... | |
| Best recording audiophile level albums of 2010 Has any one heard the Blueray audio only ( MoJo ) . Still waiting for mineYes and the sound quality is awesome but no Alan Parsons SFX - it is just the band playing live with no overdubs sounding just like they do.

| Do you listen alone or with guest s I like to listen with friends but I prefer to do some things by myself. | |
