| Clint Eastwood's HiFi I thought it might be an old Allied too. I figure that someone on Audiogon will know for sure. Knight amp seems likely to. Is that a Garrard TT? | |
| Clint Eastwood's HiFi Yes he used these speakers but can anyone guess what they are? | |
| the greatest pop song ever? This pop song is a highly polished production by Trevor horn that will sound better than any other pop song when really cranked.Look for the hot blooded mix. | |
| harbeth p3esr or usher be 718 Harbeth - no contest. I heard the Compact versus a top of the line Verity. I admit my tastes are not exactly mainstream - a great midrange being of primary importance - but the Harbeths are simply musical while the others are just hi-fi...boom boo... | |
| Do aftermerket crossovers improve sound? Northcreek claim that B&W use a ferrite core inductor in the crossover. B&W have indeed been cutting corners in order to keep costs down. Most manufacturers will cut cost on drivers and internal parts (the bits you do not see) in order to ... | |
| Do you ever wonder? Example of loads of talent and artistry (it takes both) - watch this | |
| Hands Down Better than the Stingray? Nothing but nothing is better than Stingray! | |
| It's the Room, Stupid What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow? | |
| It's the Room, Stupid We all need someone to look down on and ridicule - the audiophile that provides a vital psycho-acoustic role in society.Clearly, audiophiles also need rooms well padded with foam. | |
| Quad 989 or active ATC? I have not compared. FWIW ATC midrange was designed by Woodman to compete with the best panel midrange sound quality (which panels excel at) yet play loud and dynamically like the best horns (without the "honkiness" or throat non-linear distortion... | |
| Best Pre for ATC 100's Der has a good point. The idea of not using an overly high input impedance is in order to reduce RF/EM or ground loop noise pickup from the audio connections.Benchmark DAC1 Pre has a very low output impedance of around 30 ohms. The powerful drive ... | |
| Best Pre for ATC 100's Of course, much modern music is highly compressed and unfortunately you will hear that compression as harshness - more so with ATC's than most speakers, which tend to have a more recessed upper midrange due to the use of large 5 or 6 inch drivers ... | |
| It's the Room, Stupid Yes indeed...it is the room stupidDo you have a room? | |
| Taylor Swift I have to add that Fearless is very nicely recorded. She sings extremely well. Avril Lavigne comes to mind - simple tunes but sung with great feeling - a very expressive voice. A real gem.I heard she can't sing live but that may be because she is ... | |
| Speakers that disappear At this point I prefer soft dome and paper/carbon type drivers and have not been a fan of ceramic drivers, beryllium, diamond or aluminium tweeter Then you should try to audition ATC or PMC - a 3 inch soft dome midrange with paper/pulp woofer and... |
