| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? I guess it depends what you mean by "fuller"....if you mean the sound you hear on the street from a souped up car stereo system then I think the Merlin's will disappoint you....but this sound is not accurate music anyway it is mostly all resonant ... | |
| Ergonomics of Classic Recording Studio Gear Not sure what you mean by classic...Some of the names mentioned in this thread, such as Chesky, Abbey Road studios, Astoria Studios (James Guthrie, Pink Floyd's sound engineer) and many others used and still use ATC speakers, many for 25 years or ... | |
| Do I want a sub with VR-4jr's? Superfly676,Semantics may cause me to misinterpret what you hope to gain with a sub. I may think of "punch" in a different way....I think of a tight bass as "punchy"...it kind of hits you hard. So please disregard this if I have misinterpreted you... | |

| What is purpose of a cd transport? Crudo20,I have no doubt that the digital output from the Airport Express will be perfectly faithful to the digital data that it receives from a PC. The analog output, however, is unlikely to be as top notch as you might get with an expensive DAC o... | |

| 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 ... | |
