| I need help with my Equipment addiction Until you realize that a good system is ONLY so that you can better hear the skill of the musicians as if they were there with you in the room..Until you realize it is NOT about impressive bass or impressive anything...Until you realize it is all ... | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction Until you reach the point that you try anything or hear any other system at a dealer and think "this is way worse than my current setup"...Until you reach the point where you can put on a good recording like Maceo Parker "Made by Maceo" and sit ba... | |
| Would an external DAC be of any benefit to me? Yeah the AVM-20 is nice although I don't think it is completely jitter proof. I found that a power conditioner helped with this unit. What is nice about the unit is the huge flexibility that is built in ( as well as decent A to D and D to A conver... | |
| Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers "The Live Anthology" Awesome - I am a longtime fan - and not just because he uses ATC speakers. Tom pays special attention to sound quality - always has and always will - but that this is not a means to end - it is a reflection of his utter attention to every detail.H... | |
| Merlin VSM compared to ATC 100ASL active Looking also for something to get real dynamics ATC 100ASL will certainly be more dynamic than most other conventional box speakers - close to "real dynamics" but still not able to do justice to a jet engine. The only things that can play louder ... | |
| Just got the PS Audio Perfectwav DAC -- Amazing From what you say it seems the PW might be a better match to your amp. 1) Perhaps it has a better output stage than the Transporter and you are getting more dynamics?2) If you are not using a preamp then how were you controlling the Volume with ea... | |
| Tight accurate midfield monitor pair suggestions PMC IB2S is another great option but it is way above your budget.Have you considered Barefoot MM27? Double your budget but they are active so no need for a beefy amp... | |
| Tight accurate midfield monitor pair suggestions I can casually talk without having to raise my voice at all to talk to the clients while listening at 10-12 ft in front of the speakers. At 12 feet back you lose 12 db. Asuuming you want at least 10 db of headroom then you are going to need a dec... | |
| Speakers to build a $6500 system around Regarding Energy Veritas 1.8, I will definitely keep my eyes open for these. However, you think these can play on par with VR4jr's? You appear to like Energy and tHE 1.8's are a reaL GEM. | |
| Tight accurate midfield monitor pair suggestions ATC SCM 20 - based on your description this is exactly what you need - used by Telarc and countless other studios. They have enough SPL to do midfield. | |
| Speakers to build a $6500 system around Why not look for a pair of used Energy Veritas 1.8 | |
| MOSFET Kind of no brainer if you want good performance, reliability and high power. | |
| Merlin VSM compared to ATC 100ASL active They are both excellent speakers. I don't think the comparison is fair though - rather different animals. Merlin is two way and ATC is three way. You would be better to compare the Merlin to an Active ATC SCM20 or passive SCM20 Tower. The Active 1... | |
| Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters? I have heard some Beatles being played in HMV - it sounded new and all jazzed up. I suspect they were previewing some of the new masters (like movie trailers).FWIW: It sounds awful it is like everything sticks out too much and there is no subtlety... | |
| Best way to save cd collection? Rocky,I am interested in the answers to your thread. I am looking at the same thing. Issues are1) Large collection2) Lossless storage3) accurate ripping 4) Back up (I am thinking RAID 1 - which means everything is duplicated on two drives to ensur... |
