| The space between the speakers All great comments above. Compromises are a fact of life.If you can get the speakers at least 12 inches forward and a couple of feet between the edge of the TV and the side of the speaker then it will be negligible and if you throw a thick blanket... | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? Actually, I found that plugs make a bigger difference than does the actual cable. Absolutely agree. When I put the ear plugs in I can no longer hear my wife screaming at me. | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Shadorne...If a cable causes a pulse risetime anomaly (such as a spike) it will happen for every pulse. All will be delayed or trigered early by the same amount, so jitter is not the result. What if the shape of the leading edge changes according... | |
| Article in LA Times about new "CODE" format This is just the higher resolution 24/96 PCM two channel format. It should play in any DVD player or Blu-ray player. This is likey the format used in the studio (although they might use 24/192 in the studio). In any case, there will be no further ... | |
| JVC XRCD versus SACD I am comparing their performance {XRCDs vs CD) in modernly recorded album{eg.Audiophile voices}. That may explain it. I doubt they get anything but the master tapes. If the master tapes are of jazz or clasical and already of very high quality son... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Wire properties can certainly affect digital pulse characteristics. But, up to the point where a data "one" can be misinterpreted as a "zero" pulse characteristics don't affect the information which goes into the D/A converter. So I don't find it... | |
| changing overall tone Aren't these speakers supposed to go with a sub?You may be missing the oompf of the bass and therefore it sounds lifeless. | |
| JVC XRCD versus SACD I have had mixed results with HDCD some great some bad. The few JVC XRCD titles I have are all absolutely excellent.I think it mostly has to do with the care taken in the mastering process. Of course when JVC start with master tapes from Sheffield... | |
| Vienna Acoustics or Proac Have you considered Revel Concerta F12? (Better value IMHO given what you are looking for) | |
| High quality music server on the cheap...sort of Nice. Welcome to the club of those enjoying music rather than fiddling with sleeves/jewel cases and feeding the machines like a factory worker.When I get home I want to relax. From my couch I can select any CD from any of four megachangers and hav... | |
| Time to change. But to what? I still don't know what I was waiting for And my time was running wild A million dead-end tweets Every time I thought I'd got the sound It seemed the taste was not so sweet So I turned myself to Dali But I've never caught a glimpse Of how the othe... | |
| MBL alternatives Shadorne, now those are some speakers I could DEFINITELY use in an HT system!!!! Infact, I might just look into em for such. Indeed. Given the hypercompression in modern pop/rock music, the dynamic range of ATC's are more useful with classical or... | |
| ATC 100 vs.150 Just the woofer/bigger box, Bill, - that is all.The 100's and up all have the same bigger version of the midrange driver and are already a ton weight. So all you are really looking at is efficiency and a tiny bit more extension (a couple of decibe... | |
| Help me in the right direction, new speakers Harbeth should be up your street. They are voiced in a way that emotion comes out. Great with vocalists. Not the last word in dynamics and may not start fires with "The Prodigy" but if you get a Monitor 40.1 then it will come close.If you really w... | |
| Mission speakers I am not familiar with their latest but the 770 were pretty good sounding...a classic. One of the first of many to use polypropylene cones. |
