| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping I am not a respected listener - I make no claims to golden ears at all.I have tested redbook CD versus Apple Lossless (burned from said CD with error correction on) using a Toslink remote switcher (so without getting up from the listening chair).I... | |
| Tools to measure in room response Behringer ECM 8000 with an XLR cable is cheap and works fine. There are better measurement mikes out there but for room evaluation this is more than good enough. You will need a microphone stand also and a USB interface to your microphone (it uses... | |
| ATC SCM's with Spectral Components I'd tend to go for the SCM19. ATC's all sound similar - but there is more transparency, SPL and bass extension as you go up the line. The 19 has the same mid bass driver as the pro models but with a simpler modern cabinet construction and differen... | |
| Speaker Hum on my Quad 12L Active's It sounds like you have a ground loop because it happens when you connect the RCA cables.One of the speakers may not be grounded properly at your power bar - when you connect the RCA you are connecting the grounds between the two speakers with you... | |
| Buble's interesting comments on recording I have heard his latest album - for many men it will be a great stocking stuffer for the lady in their life. Great stuff. | |
| Music and politics I find musicians, on the whole, are bright, talented and hard working (all genres). I respect that they can have political opinions too and have something to say. | |
| Passive Preamps Tvad,I was qualifying my comment from a 'measurements' perspective (reproducing a signal) - what sounds best with the gear each of us happen to own and our individual tastes will no doubt differ... I hope we can agree on that. | |
| Klein & Hummel I am using active ATC 100's - K&H are the same design philosophy (active speaker with high accuracy, good transient response + wide even dispersion) they even use ATC's midrange. The K&H O300D has excellent bass and would work in a farfiel... | |
| Passive Preamps Out of (by memory 7 designers of note) not one single designer preferred passive. Yes- of course they would - it a simple matter of electrical science. It is the same reason to avoid passive crossovers in speakers. As you correctly point out - el... | |
| Best Tributes, Covers, Dedications Paint it Blue. Rolling Stones tunes done by bluesman.Yep - that is a winner! Love that album... | |
| Short List of the Best 20K Speakers 10-09-09: Pubul57Why the focus on 20Hz? Seems like there would be far more important aspects of speaker performance than that, at least for 99.8% of music I asked the same question - no reply. Perhaps it is just a lame excuse for a change a perfe... | |
| ATC SCM7 vs. Proac Studio 110 The cabinets on the new models do indeed look lower in cost to assemble than the older (German) cabinets. ATC make the drivers in house in the UK. They have always outsourced cabinet making - their strength is in engineering, designing transducers... | |
| CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos Tony Williams is awesome - he has inspired a new generation of fantastic drummers like Cindy | |
| Buble's interesting comments on recording Frank,Yes the second is the one I was referring to. As well as being an exceptional recording it has some very nice imaging - you can hear on some of the duets that they seem to be about 2 feet apart in the sound stage. It is a real fun performanc... | |
| ATC SCM7 vs. Proac Studio 110 Easy one - just ask ATC - send an email to the link on their website. |
