| Distorted sound on speakers It does sound like you fried a tweeter - this is common. Either your amp clipped and you damaged it or you speakers are not powerful enough to handle the listening levels you like. | |
| How loud do you like to play your music? A lot depends on the recording quality but I generally listen like you around 90 db average most of the time, however, I will crank it from time to time to around 95 - 100 db SPL.Without you defining a reference track it is hard to say.Examples of... | |

| Moving from CD Player to MAC Book Pro Music Server Even if the enclosure itself failed, the SATA drives would survive with all the data. Agreed...but you would need to repair the Drobo...I figured my approach be very inefficient but by having a RAID 1 with two mirrored drives then means I have a ... | |

| I need help with my Equipment addiction If i honestly asked myself which i prefer more, to listen to music or tweak my system, i would have to sadly answer the latter. It's surely a guy thing. If you tweak your system too much you'll go blind. | |
| Transfer of Library to a back-up External HD Did you format the new disc first using Applications=>Utilities=> Disk Utility | |
| Moving from CD Player to MAC Book Pro Music Server It's not the cheapest solution, but I have a Drobo for back up and it let's me sleep at night. After having many a back-up external drive fail, I settled on the Drobo, and it blows away the RAID array it replaced as far as ease of use. I looked a... | |
| Why so few high end line arrays? Darkmoebius,For the sake of brevity I did not go into as much detail. Yes it is true that a line array of woofers operating below 300 Hz is generally no problem due to the wavelengths of low frequencies. As you go up in frequency the problems star... | |
| Why so few high end line arrays? They work great at concerts and for sports stadiums....definitely a mistake for home audio, IMHO.You are getting serious comb filtering from listening close up to multiple drivers with the same bandwidth. | |
| 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 ... |
