| Used speakers $7,000-$10,000 These were designed for SACD and they are indeed exceptional speakers. Phillips/Sony had a demo booth of SACD multi-channel with these speakers at the 2000 and 2001 AES conventions. I am not sure why they dropped the production of these great spea... | |
| What is purpose of a cd transport? Crudo20,You are correct - transport wow and flutter do not matter. It can run at any speed as long as it is fast enough to ensure the digital buffer does not run out. Just as you will not run out of hot water if your boiler/heater tops up the hot ... | |
| Which speakers vs Vandersteen 3A sig's in large rm I would say you need at least 12" woofers for that size room - probably 15". Anything smaller that delivers signifcant base will probably be with tuned LF ports and these often sound rather boomy. I have a 25' by 20' room with 9' ceilings and use ... | |
| HDCD a flash in the pan already?? PMT1209,There is a difference to HDCD in bits/dynamic range. The difference is beyond what is practically necessary in terms of dynamic range for home playback. If you exceed the dynamics that your system/room design can deliver/handle accurately ... | |
| proper burn in for cd player Armstrod,Ever tried using a vaccuum cleaner with the air intake plugged?Of course the amp needs to be on, or else the flow of electrons inside the CD player will be trapped, which can be very bad unless you loosen the screws on the CD player lid t... | |

| Complete Makeover ATC speakers are used professionally in studios by the biggest names in the business; from SACD mastering, movie multi-channel sound tracks to traditional two channel formats. They are used professionally in almost every genre: pop/rock, jazz, cou... | |
| proper burn in for cd player This has been discussed many times on Audiogon. There are those that believe in it and those that don't.Simply from an engineering design perspective, a drift in response over time is an undesirable drawback in a high quality audio component. Most... | |
| The importance of component location... Bigjoe,I am in your practical minded camp. I have never really bothered much where an amp goes as long as it is ventilated. I don't use any special pads or isolation either. The safest place for this kind of stuff is in a well ventilated cupboard ... | |
| Dual or single subwoofers? You may be able to do it...although it is not recommended.Corners have advantages in that they will increase your bass by about 6 db....so put the subs very close indeed.Corner placement is definitely not recommended with speakers due to cancellat... | |
| HDCD a flash in the pan already?? You don't really need HDCD for playback....16 bits is enough for a good mastering studio to play with and give you a good CD (96 db dynamic range). A recording studio professional may benefit from the flexibility of extra bits and greater dynamic ... | |
| Isolation for speakers on spikes If your problem is that the speaker enclosures are resonating in a bad way and affecting the sound: you might look at heavier, stronger and better braced speaker designs rather than trying to compensate for these vibrations by making coupling reso... | |
| Eliminating RFI You might need one of thesehttp://zapatopi.net/afdb/LOL ;)...sorry for not being constructive ....i just couldn't help myself.... | |
| Do I want a sub with VR-4jr's? I can tell I am lacking the very bottom of the audible range I read somewhere that these speakers are specified flat down to 23 Hz +/- 2db... This is simpy an amazing specification. There is no possible way you should be lacking low end if these ... | |
| Isolation for speakers on spikes Isolation will help prevent nuisance vibrations or resonances transfering from room to stand to speaker and vice-versa..."rattling" or "boominess" at certain frequencies.Spikes make a very strong connection to a wooden floor: vibrations and resona... |
