| 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... | |
| Best all around speakers i think the issue here is :what is the virtue in suffering ?it is a poor investment to spend money to suffer. MrT - you are missing the whole point of this hobby. Frustration and suffering is where it is at. If you don't have a whip to self flage... | |
| MBL alternatives What do you think of Soundlabs A-1 ? | |
| MBL alternatives Yes, it's all about the sound. I could care less about what it looks like. $10k on the used market is fine as well. At this price used you have plenty of alternatives. If you like MBL's and final sound then I assume you listen at low levels and y... | |
| CD Baby I have bought from them many times. Never had a problem. | |
| Diffraction be gone In practice either 1 alone or a combination of 1 and 3 will work best. Oops I meant to say "In practice either 2 alone or a combination of 1 and 3 will work best."I did not mention the trade offs but when you have no baffle at all around the twee... | |
| MBL alternatives Beolab 5 - not my cup of tea but excellent tight bass, lovely wide soundstage and they look awesome. |
