| Can't Stop Grinning... Good for you and well done getting it all second hand - very savvy. Now lets see some pics and a virtual system... you know pay it forward - try yourself to help someone the way A'gon helped you ;-) | |
| benchmark and apogee apogee vs benchmark, lets just say that both are very good and highly regarded units, and it really depends on ones setup and ears. For sure - when I decribe Benchmark as thin and detailed with precise and narrower soundstage I was trying to desc... | |
| Tinny sound accompanying cello on recordings ? Mental strings versus gut strings are TOTALLY different, as the string players above can attest to. It is always great to sit down and compare are 17th century consort of viols to a modern chamber ensemble playing the same piece For those interes... | |
| AC/DC Black ice Indeed those April storms bring down trees. Thunder. ACDC wrote a song about a road trip through Texas - now I know what they meant. Thunder. Man I am starting to look forward to their tour ;-) | |
| The best CD Player for the money Guys I happened to come across this interesting transcript of a well known high end audiophile manufacturer's annual board meeting. They are discussing how much to charge for the "best CD Player money can buy". It starts with a proposal by their CEO. | |
| AC/DC Black ice For those in Southern climates - "Black Ice" is a deadly winter situation on a road surface in the North that often leads to a pile-up or at the minimum several vehicles off the road. Producer Brendan O'Brien is from Atlanta so he would be familia... | |
| Tinny sound accompanying cello on recordings ? I never heard of adding weights on bows per se. Is this a known technique? No it is not normally done that way - usually the bow is balanced so you select the bow based on its feel and weight to help produce the desired sound. Sorry if my narrow ... | |
| replace a full Cello System? Her needs are a fraction of the equipment's ability, and always thought the two should be matched Then sell it all - what a waste of good equipment - sell it to someone who can appreciate it for what it is and get something aesthetic looking that... | |
| AC/DC Black ice Absolutely impeccable sense of rhytm and melody, if you will.Music is stripped down to it's bare essentials, as truly great rock supposed to be like, IMHO.There is nothing there, that detracts from the musical message, not a single slow down, no a... | |
| AC/DC Black ice Couldn't possibly be the recording desk. Or the machines. Or the processing. Or the mics. Or the room design. Or the talent of the engineer. Or a dozen other variables Sure there is a lot more to it - these studios cost millions. However you don'... | |
| Tinny sound accompanying cello on recordings ? You can tune the cello sound with the bow weight - a heavy bow will sound duller and more resonant and a lighter bow will sound thinner and more "reedy". Pretty much every instrument is tweaked - drum sets have pillows and scotch tapes over them -... | |
| Solve on Problem Create Another Help Autodexr,Unfortunately what has probably happened is that you have cleaned up the lower midrange significantly - so you now notice the room modes much more (as they last longer).The sub has a Q of around 0.5 - so this is definitely musical not HT ... | |
| replace a full Cello System? I'd go active ATC SCM 20 and a 0.1/12 sub in an appartment. The Cellos were used in mastering - they have a 3 inch dome midrange - the ATC's 3" dome is probably the highest regarded dome midrange out there and has the same studio pedigree (used by... | |
| Used monitor under$600 with good bass low levels I plan on consulting with Meniscus, they have been in the business for a long time. I will let them help choose the drivers and design the cross-over and other parts. Now you are talking - glad to hear you are getting some help - this is no easy ... | |
| Used Dunlavy V's - what if they 'break' I have no plans to ever replace these speakers. Good for you! Great speakers - glad to see you have found bliss! |
