| Bass trap in a difficult corner GIK Tri-traps may be a solution that suites your needs. | |
| Room and Placement for Revel Studios You might be better to sit in the wide open part of the room. If you sit at the low ceiling end then you will get reflections from the change in ceiling height and room width (an interfcae that will be all too close to where you sit). It is always... | |
| Deuvel or MBL That is a poor idea for a tiny room - omni speakers need breathing space behind them and to each side. | |
| Gallo Reference III midrange COOKED The speakers are rated a 350 watts; but my PS Audio 250 watt amp cooked the midrange drivers in both speakers. Go figure...I don't think these speakers are designed to play loud despite their "rating".The 4 inch mid range is crossed over at 150 H... | |
| Ipod + Wadia 170i Dock OR AppleTV + Airport Expres I haven't work out the finer details yet but I believe that a music server can't compete with a good digital front. If you can accept to use a Benchmark DAC1 then I am fairly confident you could not tell whether the digital input to the DAC1 came... | |
| How organized are you with your music I have used 5 of the giant CD megachangers for storage and a Mac based software to catalog the music since 2001. This allows you to find anything instantly by "search", sends a command to the relevant player and plays the track - all of this gets ... | |
| the smoothest sounding speaker For example here is a distortion plot and cummulative spectral decay of a mid range driver. Nice because it is playing at 96 db SPL at 1 meter (that is real world music loud - so it is playing at useful levels not soft levels for the test - this t... | |

| ATC Speakers...Do you use them with Grill On/Off I am not sure whether ATC speakers are best set up with little or no toe-in, and perhaps current ATC owners can advise. If sound is little direct, you may want to try as little toe-in as possible. In a large space you will not notice much effect ... | |
| ATC Speakers...Do you use them with Grill On/Off In theory they won't sound very different at all because these have rounded edges on the baffle - so the grill plays no role in helping to reduce edge diffraction - so the imaging/soundstage should be unaffected.With large open weave fabrics, all ... | |
| Smooth Sounding Tube Amps that Can drive ATC I can't give any advice on a good tube amp but I can suggest you a few albums that will sound good.Blues: Keb 'MoRock: Dire Straits (although some of their live stuff is mixed a bit bright), Tom Petty Greatest Hits and Wildflowers, Midnight Oil Ea... | |
| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping EAC is apparently one of the most accurate for ripping and critical for scratched/damaged CD's - iTunes with Error correction on is apparently identical to EAC on most normal undamaged CD's. (this has been garnered from Head.fi forums - I have no ... | |
| Building a music server - newbie Any one can explain How will be the noice/jitter level while playing laptop as the transport? Is there any other way to play the music to avoid such problems. Very difficult to predict. Connecting your laptop to a Benchmark DAC1 would be a solutio... | |
| ATC SCM's with Spectral Components Things I've read seem to suggest they require more than modest power (i.e., 100 W RMS might not be enough power), and that they sound best when played loud (in not-so-small rooms).They are leaner in the bass then most other designs (flat with no b... | |
| Looking for new speakers? Try a sealed box speaker with slow roll-off starting around 60 Hz. Examples: ATC SCM19, Merlin TSM, NHT Classic 3, Lipinski L 707. |
