| My experience with ATC SCM 12 Overall ATC sound is too polite and mellow.They are that. Flattish midrange with rolled off treble and bass is not everyone's cup of tea. Tonality/timbre is more ATC's forte - especially in small models. Most listeners like more bass and treble e... | |
| wadia i170 meassured jitter level What ever the case is the wadia i170 or the ipod it still has a very high measured jitter from the digital output This may not be a reflection purely on Wadia...it seems that ALL digital interfaces suffer from it to some greater or lesser degree.... | |
| Tweaks when building a listening room? The number one rule is "broadband absorption' - keep the acoustic treatments even. If you have floor to floor carpet then you may already be ok in the mids and treble from the get go. Then all you need is large thick bass broadband absorbers and p... | |
| Genesis 1970-75 I am not sure how he did the surround but you can read this article and draw your own conclusions. It appears they tried to get input from the band members. | |

| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? They are good. Warm and delicious sounding - great midrange. I think you would only be disappointed if you expected them too play loudly or that they would give you last word in bass response and dynamic attack. Like many BBC designs they have a p... | |
| How can you not have multichannel system I remain fearful of where my subwoofer ear will grow. Eldartford,I broke out into such a paroxysm of laughter with your comments that my subwoofer ear started making embarrassing noises. | |
| Jitter reduction, best device? so I suspect it was some artifact resulting from the Denon's DAC. It can often be subtle but everyone agrees that DAC's do sound different. Whether this is the effect of jitter reduction or simply the result of a different output stage (tubed) or... | |
| Jitter reduction, best device? Mapman,It sounds like you may be hearing beat frequencies. This is a subtle effect that could come from a number of things - including your room setup and/or listening position. It is, as you say, nearly impossible to be conclusive that any specif... | |
| Quad ESL owners question Yes, electrostats (or any dipole for that matter?) are bad bad bad bad bad for any other type of music particualy rock, progressive, symphonic, punk, be bop jazz, straight ahead jazz, electronic, dance, orchestral etc. Less well suited to some of... | |
| high end jbl or horns or emerald physics c1 Expand your listening tastes and buy speakers that can play all types of music. =8^) I first thought my JBLs were king, no other speakers in the world can beat it. Oh boy, how much I was wrong. Oldrockstar knows what he wants and explained what ... |
