| Talk but not walk? @bdp24 +1 Drum set are tuned in a different way to every other instrument. It is extremely complex. Being able to get the right sound for the room or venue is an art.The only way to learn to “tune” a drum set is to tune a drum set so many times th... | |
| Talk but not walk? Yup. Some Girls just confirms my experience with HD tracks is they are more money for POS recordings. Really annoying to pay more for less quality. I will never buy from them again as there is no quality control - just high prices. | |
| Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement @m-db Good point. The Duntech are quite a load (7 transducers) and as such can be dynamically constrained by the power amp. | |
| Speaker recomendation I would prefer to learn more about the OP requirements than all this distraction. Speakers really depend on the requirements and tastes of the OP. I think the OP has left. | |
| Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement “Must have superb midrange” and you are thinking to go SS and you seem to like soft dome and jazz and classic speakers - you definitely owe it to yourself to audition ATC actives - the versions with 3” super dome (50 and up). | |
| Is this MQA news a big deal? All these DACs that sound better with these ridiculously high sample rates and the HF noise included in a 192 KHz file are all likely suffering from linearity issues and poor implementation of brick wall anti-aliasing filters. I don’t think MQA wi... | |
| Classical composers, symphonies Lots of good suggestions above also Prokofiev | |
| Which is better - Hi end CD transport or Music server into DAC? If the DAC is well made it should sound equally good with either source provided the digital data is bit perfect. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Mercedes have been winning F1 championships with Lewis Hamilton and after market fuses. Lewis only pits for fuel, tires or after market specialty fuses. They have Bayesian computer algorithms to determine which fuses to use and when. Some fuses wo... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G I prefer DD. Mechanically an elastic belt is just an inherently bad design to begin with - it needs an insanely heavy platter to be stable in pitch. Pitch changes are extremely discernable to our ears. It is also possible to design a good DD motor... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts +1 Good review by Steve. He points out the issues with the design but admits he doesn’t understand the science. He just likes the “American sound” or “gravitas”. Steve likes Zu Audio too - so his tastes lean towards a somewhat colourful fun musica... | |
| Holo Audio Spring Dac, At last a Stereophile review and tests Yes it needs a Singer or other jitter cleaning device according to people I know who use it. This is not uncommon for all but the best DACs. | |
| Speaker recomendation Are you planning dance parties when you have more people over? Or classical and jazz cocktail party only?The reason I ask is you could get either great aesthetic speakers or excellent audio quality big box coffins for that price. Probably not both... | |
| Huey Lewis diagnosed with Meniere's disease Sometimes bad is bad! So sorry to hear this. I really like The News - very talented bunch of musicians - I especially like Bill Gibson - underated drummer IMHO. Yes Lawrenceville produced many talented folks - what happened to you? | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlemania Q:I’ve never heard ATC. Maybe they’re onto something? But I’m skeptical. As Tom Thiel wrote, the steep filter lets you operate a driver in the range of pistonic behavior. This is *highly* desirable (and also requires diaphragm mater... |
