| I Need a Power Amp for my Studio Monitors Bryston are excellent value for power amps. They do run very hot. If "unrefined" implies lacking in coloration then they are unrefined, IMHO. If you like SS designs and are not frightened by the negative feedback boogeyman then Bryston is a solid ... | |
| PMC vs. ATC pmc's are consistantly outstanding throughout the line, though pretty much the 'imf' or 'tdl' of today. I agree PMC's are good. the atc is still a brand searching for a sound, a personality, a classic design or two. way overpriced for the same de... | |

| Does upgrading the clock always improve the sound? It depends if there is a clock jitter issue to begin with and if the upgrade has less jitter than the existing setup.Jitter is much less the evil dragon that requires slaying compared to fifteen years ago. Manufacturers are well aware of clock jit... | |
| Floor standers or Monitors? I feel personally a set of monitors and sub (s), for the same money being spent on a pair of uprights, should surpass the performance of a pair of floor standers, shouldn't they? Any time you have woofers covering a less strenuous or broad freque... | |
| Monitors vs. Floorstanders - What an eye opener Old Energy Pro 22 monitors were really good (1980's). Energy make good speakers IMHO. Power handling was not their forte but they sounded great at low levels. | |
| Help: Order of importance: Pre, Amp, DAC, speakers Does the Pre, amp and DAC really shine above a speaker purchase? The system can only shine as much as the speaker will allow but good electronics is a great start. Both the speakers you tried are very similar in size and design and purpose (near-... | |
| Break in period Break-in implies a significant change in response with time. Is this something desirable in equipment designed with accuracy in mind? Obviously not. I try to avoid equipment that changes response significantly over long periods of time (weeks, mon... | |
| Rush in 5.1 surround I have not been impressed by Rush recording quality since Moving Pictures. They seem to be mastered with eye to the target market of FM rock stations (a tad over-compressed). Great band though with great music. | |
| How loud do you listen to your music? Chadnliz, LOL. 6 beers may also be the start of a reduction in linearity? | |
| How loud do you listen to your music? Pauly, If the midrange is incomplete, the frequency extremes do not matter. I agree fully with you here.I have been lucky with amps I guess, as I have not run into the problem of a high noise floor or dynamic compression in the mid range due to el... | |
| Big Bass Drum Jazz Grimace,I know what you mean about the drums. This approach to recording is called slap. The drums have a "slap" kind of sound which adds to the rhythm or attack. (Mike placement has a lot to do with it and sometimes a drum reverb machine is used)... | |
| How loud do you listen to your music? Pdn,Check Equal Loudness Curves to see how volume level affects the presentation of the sound.Notice that at around 30 db SPL, the average person won't hear anything at all below 80 Hz. At 60 db SPL one begins to hear 30 Hz and at about 75 db SPL... |
