| Do I need a sub woofer to match my ATC SCM11s JL E110 will do the job and it will certainly enhance your experience. I would not go with anything ported or low cost as it simply will ruin the bass response and lower mid range of your speaker. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers @skyscraper The demo would be Joan Baez Diamonds and Rust - it was a demo favourite back then. Bring your own music. You may may be challenged if your reference is Dalquist DQ-10.The best speaker will sound good with everything. Listen carefully f... | |
| add a Schiit EITR? More details. The Dunn J test is what Stereophile use. It is a worst case scenario. It exercises all bits and uses an LSB signal with a full output signal. https://www.ap.com/download/apx-j-test-jitter-measurement-utility/ If a device passes this ... | |
| add a Schiit EITR? According to Stereophile, the jitter rejection of the Brooklyn DAC is superb (unlike their tests of Schiit products). So it should not be necessary to buy a Schiit Eitr. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? +1 @audiokinesis Total agreement. 6 inch woofer is simply too big for the mid range. B&W and countless other speakers never sound completely natural for this very reason. To sound natural a speaker must have wide consistent dispersion across t... | |
| Accuracy vs. Enjoyment +1 @bdp24 @almarg Active speakers are the way to go. Proper size mid range driver is crucial. Phase compensated for perfect coherence between drivers. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Curse of Lono As I Fell - brilliant new album | |
| 50 years on---the brilliance of The Band and their astounding debut album. If you like Big Pink then try listening to Curse of Lono’s latest album that came out a couple of weeks ago. Americana is seeing a revival!!! | |
| Accuracy vs. Enjoyment +1 @jafant Accurate speakers and an accurate Power amp and accurate source coupled with your favourite flavourful tube preamp is a way to have your cake and eat it!!! | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? @gosta Check out Weekend in LA On Broadway by George Benson for really dynamic great live music | |
| Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 What did you buy? I love Kef but I find the resonance on the port of the PL200 draws to much attention to itself and takes a little detail away from the lower mid quality - in the driver integration is not quite there and not totally convincing. T... | |
| To power condition or not Try both. I have never had a problem with ATC Actives - dead quiet even with your ear right over the tweeter. It is crucial that you use XLR - a good cable in Canare Star Quad. If you use inferior RCA and adapt that to XLR adaptor then you can of ... | |
| What are your top songs that you use to evaluate a new high end purchase ? You obviously like the Stones - Monkey Man and Beast of Burden should be on your list. | |
| Have you ever changed speakers to expereince a different "soundscape" or presentation?? No. I don’t like flavoured speakers. I do like flavoured electronics - like tubes!I think of a speaker as being like a lens - you want it to be as transparent as possible with the least distortion possible. This allows you to hear what the source ... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging @audiokinesis +1 Totally agree. |
