| ATC active or Tannoy TD12? Bob,I don't recall the meter setting 110 or 120 I suspect it was 110 (it is on fast response C weighting and max). Mine is the new digital kind. I have a condensor microphone too but it just ain't worth the trouble to setup with the PC etc. just t... | |
| Optical to co-ax output change You can find these for about $20 - but I would be concerned about added jitter - you might want to test it carefully versus the analog out of the CDP. | |
| Best new loudspeaker Speakers made today are made for HOME THEATER! So true. Small satellites with a bandpass subwoofer or tall narrow elegant ported speakers with small woofers and both designs capable of highly impressive one note bass. Modern audio has made such h... | |
| Apple versus PC PC audio is a bit of a mine field - either with a Mac or a PC - perhaps in the stampede by companies to grab a share of the desktop audio playback market coupled with the inherent "non-standardness" of every PC running together hundreds of thousan... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? That does exist, however you need to have a very good complete set and a perfect - if there is such a thing - room. I think you can have that with different speakers, but so far I've only heard that in two rooms ever in my life. One of them is mi... | |
| New preamps making new claims. If you examine the product history of companies that have been in the business for a significant amount of time you will see numerous changes is design philosophy and many "dead end" product lines. This is exactly what NOT to look for in a compan... | |
| Speakers sound best facing wall???? Dreaming of an Alaskan adventure cruise are you? | |
| ATC active or Tannoy TD12? Bob,I listen around 90 db spl rms most of the time. On a good album I may listen at 95 db SPL rms. On really great music, which would be no more than a few tracks would hit at around 100 - 103 db spl rms at their loudest part - no more than that. ... | |
| Wadia 170i and Benchmark Dac1 - anyone try it? Contact Elias Gwinn at Benchmark and let him know your findings. It is possible others have reported the issue and there is a fix or you can simply confirm the problem and stop wasting your time trying to get it to work. Elias may also be able to ... | |
| ATC active or Tannoy TD12? Rgs92,With ATC you need to think low distortion, clarity and forwardness that you would normally associate with horns but with wider even dispersion of a dynamic speaker. So if tend to find horns are harsh and piercing then yes, absolutely, ATC wi... | |
| Efficient speaker, big bad tight bass? If you want "tight" bass then you will need a very large box speaker - a corner horn loaded or something like that. The problem with "tight" bass is that is requires critical damping (no bass bump in the frequency response) - this is necessarily i... | |
| Ground Loop Hum You could also consider a Jensen transformer between the preamp and amp ( I don't like to add transformers because they distort but it is an option that may work for you - Jensen are high end transformers). I hope you are using only XLR connectors... | |
| a REMOTE idea? A CS3310 chip is around $10 - expensive compared to most things in a preamp but it does a pretty good job. A CS3318 is even better - so no need to worry about this issue on newer equipment (since 2000). Many high end HT preamps use this.I would st... | |
| Speakers that can be placed against the wall? In wall paradigm 40's - if prefer a slick look and great sound.Sealed box satellites with a high end sub would probably be the safest choice though. You should avoid ported speakers. | |
