| MBL 101e's vs. Soundlab U-1's Sounds like you are set on the MBL 101e - I must admit they look simply awesome. Having never heard these beauties and being curious about their design...how do they dampen the lamellas in order to avoid what would be termed "cone break up" in a c... | |
| Buying decision time, or Time for a sanity check? You missed one category; The Client User ListThe choice of musicians and audio engineers is generally pretty solid; the likes of Pink Floyd, Telarc, Sting, Tom Petty, Doug Sax, Mark Knopfler, Lenny Kravitz, Warner Bros, Disney, Hans Zimmer, Rollin... | |
| MBL 101e's vs. Soundlab U-1's ATC's might deliver some of the coherency you like in the SL and still give you the dynamics and loudness that box speakers are known for. (Driver integration is better with active designs) I don't think you necessarily have to go away from box sp... | |
| Tweeter quest I agree with Gregm, matching the tweeter to the other drivers is very important ... I am not sure what the effect is called but "speed" is a very good word for it...in essence the match affects how instruments with some HF harmonics sound to the e... | |
| Can digital and analogue plugged together Unless you own poorly designed CDP/analog amps they should both be able to plug into the same outlet and still perform according to specifications (Not surprisingly, most equipment is designed such that there is no transfer of noise between device... | |
| VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room Go for the SR. You won't regret it. A three way system will outperform your Forests significantly and you have the space for the SR. If you prefer an option closer to home, I believe Bryston (Toronto), which sells active PMC's (UK Speaker), is def... | |
| Tweeter quest Sounds risky to me...you are messing with a very high quality and well respected speaker which may be worthless after all your modifications....Since you are a beginner at this, my suggestion would be to get a speaker kit from someone like Wilmslo... | |
| Tweeter quest This is only a suggestion. If you make a non-factory mod to the baffle on your PMC's then they will be much harder to move on the resale market. Seeing you are unhappy with the PMC's why not look to sell them and trade up? | |
| Can a component after complete breaking reverse ? Yes it can reverse and finding the optimum amount of break-in requires careful and constant calibration. This is easy to do;1) Play break-in sweeps in upwards direction only until you achive the desired level of break-in and sound2) If you find it... | |
| HOUSEBOAT SYSTEM Probably the most famous audiophile houseboat:http://www.davidgilmour.com/gallery/gallery3/04.htmhttp://www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/gallery/v/DavidGilmourPhotos/AstoriaHouseboatRecordingStudio/aac.jpg.html | |
| Using a 220v amplification equipment in the US Not worth the trouble IMHO. The extra transformer required and electrical work. It will sound just the same (as it should do). (My stuff did when moved from 220 v to 110 V) | |
| Analog vs. CDP: A fair comparison? You sound like a collector rather than a user. IMHO go for it! You will get much more fun from a turntable - there is more to play with and all the bits that do the work are externally visible and which you can proudly operate.I know people who do... | |
| Job of Producer versus Recording Engineer Producer is in charge of the full chain for making the final product and the budget - he or she is contracted by the recorded label or artist. He of she subcontracts the people involved to record and master the music. Producers often have people t... | |
| why can't I make a digital recording of a DVD? Tvad,I understand how you feel. This is largely the position of the execs at Sony and other major labels. However, as a user, I am frustrated that I bought and own half of Disney's entire collection in VHS, some in PAL and some in NTSC and that I ... | |
| Anyone heard PMC's IB1? If you have not experienced a dome mid range then be prepared for a surprise. These can go very loud without mid range compression. Effortless sounding and very articulate. Definitely worth auditioning. Telarc (Cleveland USA) bought some PMC's a f... |
