| In Wall Subwoofers in 2-Channel room ? In theory - yes. Worth worrying about - NO. | |
| A/D input levels with 24-bit - need to max out? Don't worry. There is NO difference on the digital side. Your 24 bits are way more than enough to capture all the dynamic range from your source. It does not matter if you digitize at lower levels - it changes nothing in the accuracy of what you r... | |
| Digital Playback Comparison CD's can't have jitter....there is no timing information on a CD...just data samples....in order to get jitter you need some kind of clock or a clock signal. The is No clock on a CD.......these audio urban legends go against all logic. The jitter ... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. why not acknowledge that electronics and speakers are flawes and attempt to voice one's stereo system consistent with one's sonic preferences ? Sure....but isn't this akin to throwing in the towel and giving up on the pursuit of an ideal ? Medioc... | |
| Any ideas in speaker choices would be great Try second hand Energy Pro 22 or 22.3...this will bring your soundstage more forward (not so recessed in the mid range)....it won't cost you a cent as you can find these second hand for the same price as your DQ10. Honestly, I can't think of much ... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Is it me or people making too much out of Atmashperes' comments? I was interested to learn about the Sound Labs....surely that was worthwhile. I enjoyed Macrojacks anecdote post too - great info on the TT and Tanoys.I think a very messy room and ... | |
| Woofer on top? This was always Missionaries position but it works quite well either way. | |
| What's that buzz, tell me what's a happening... Perhaps you are simply over driving it...this is after all a small woofer and low frequencies take huge amounts of excursion on a small woofer? It may also be a lose dust cap or perhaps the driver wire is touching the woofer cone when driven hard.... | |
| Pink Floyd best CDs soundwise Try to get the EMI Harvest CD release done for the UK....this will be closest to your original Vinyl.Since you only want CD layer and you clearly like the original Vinyl - I would stay away from more recent remasters. I am lucky enough to own the ... | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer You are right that with a digital parametric this could be a concern, but with analog circuitry it's negligible. Excellent point. This worried me as I use a digital parametric, as far as I can tell from literature it has a 20 microsecond delay (a... | |
| Pink Floyd best CDs soundwise Guthrie remixed DSOTM in his Tahoe studio - he uses EMM Labs Switchman III preamp & ATC. If you google you can find an interview with Guthrie....some of the vocals are deliberately blurry as that is what the band wanted - they definitely made ... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Today's audiophile world is a lush and sugar-coated sound? What components/speakers precisely are you referring to? I have been to three major high-end audio shows in the past two years, and nowhere was a lush and sugar-coated sound to be heard.T... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Brianmgrarcom, Why don't you start with sharing what the speakers are? According to the grapevine, Gordon Holt is happier than the proverbial pig with his ATC SCM 50ASL's. I also read somewhere that he had Sound Lab electrostatics in the past (may... | |
| acoustic system resonators I came across what may be a reasonable explanation for the possible effect of Acoustic System Resonators - it seems that this kind of devive may produce multiple harmonic overtones at the same time. Similar to what happens if a tube amp is overdri... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. I am curious does anyone know what gear Gordon Holt owns and currently uses at home? I know what speakers he uses already but I lost track of the other pieces after he left Stereophile. Given his strong opinions and vast experience and the fact th... |
