| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. Shadorne, there are many audiophiles, even some with credibility, who claim that copies of CDs actually sound better than the originals. How can this be? If I trust in science then I can only assume it is mostly the placebo effect. In some rare c... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. I suggest you read up on error correcting encoding.Yes it is based on Reed-Solomon Interleave.However, contrary to what Eldartford mentions, if the error correction fails (a really badly damaged CD) then most players will "interpolate" between da... | |
| best artists in the last 15 years Rebelution from Santa Barbara these guys really groove. | |
| Brain Teaser: Biamp or biwire w/limited rack space The OMD-15s are 91dB sensitive, which means that the Amber Series 70 amp should power them cleanly to 110dB and peaks to maybe 113. 110 db spl clean from a 5.5" woofer is rather a lot (assuming you sit 6 feet back) - are these pro type drivers an... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. I am about 1/3 to 1/2 way thru a bottle and I have done maybe 60 Cd's. The bottle will never do the 500 CD's as claimed. Wow but that is amazingly good. I would not complain.Tonight, I am 1/3 to 1/2 way through a $40 bottle of wine and it is mere... | |
| why the distorted sound? I recently moved my system, and when I plugged it all back in, I seem to have a very distorted hiss and crackle over the music on both channels.The hissing is the Morlocks. You need to move your system back then when you turn it on again you can r... | |
| Balanced Interconnect Cable for ATC Active Monitor I use Mogami and Yorkville. I like Mogami - really good quality well built stuff at a fair price - I hope this helps to throw my vote in for Mogami. However, I'll be honest, I can't recall what is where exactly. I think I use Mogami on some of the... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? i thot before i entered the room that a woman was singing via a mic or maybe very loudly a capella. then i saw it was speakers, i walked all around the room and the sound field was so realistic i wanted them on the spot Other speakers will do thi... | |
| Best all around speakers SPL of 110db is insane. More detail???? Wow. Yes a drum set is insane! Most brass instruments are insane. Indeed, many musical instruments are insane - even grand pianos! Who would want to play or listen to this insanity. Long live recorded music... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. LOL. Why bother with tweaking CD's when you can build an anti-gravity space ship.Yes, indeed, there is a patent tooThe way I see it your CD player is a rotating mass and therefore you should be able to fly using three or four players and some Duct... | |
| Best all around speakers why is it necessary to expose one's ears to 100db in a room no larger than 12 feet by 20 feet ? You hear more detail and it is realistic/exciting/fun/enveloping but you are right in that there is no reason why music cannot be enjoyed at more mode... | |
| B&W 803d, Martin Logan Spire, Klipsch P-37F? The RF-7 is crossed over at 2200 Hz. So it is much like many two ways - except the horn will probably play way louder and cleanly. The 10 inch woofers will still beam however the tractix horn will cause the tweeter to beam also. I suspect Klipsch ... | |
| Best all around speakers To expand on Learsfool's theme, any one of the recent SACDs of Mahler by SF Syphony with Michael Tilson Thomas will test the limits of a speaker system. Symphony #1 and #6 have over 40dB of dynamic range, with huge sounds juxtiposed with almost s... | |
| B&W 803d, Martin Logan Spire, Klipsch P-37F? I do like the tone of the mids on B&W speakers. They have a very sweat sound that is very special on female vocals. I do how ever find the mids a little unnatural. I have had a hard time putting my finger on what the unnaturalness is but the ... | |
| Best balanced signal cable I use ordinary microphone type XLR cables from a company called Yorkville as well as Mogami (both available at a local music/guitar center). Mogami are roughly twice as expensive but slightly better built and probably more durable. Can I hear a di... |
