| Michael Fremer's system +1 DouglasThere is no doubt that provided you can get enough distance away from a large three way for driver integration and still have at least 3 feet behind the listener to any wall then the bigger more dynamic speaker is going to be better!The ... | |
| Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music? I guess I should explain why wide even sound dispersion is critical. Maybe Steve will read this and learn something.Our ears and brain are very good at integrating sound with the environment. A speaker that radiates evenly throughout the entire sp... | |
| Hi Fi Hi End Verses Pro Audio Specs @bstbomber ATC and PMC speakers serve both markets. Audiophile and studios (the really high end of pro-audio). ATC are well known for sounding exactly the same in the studio as they do in their domestic line. Same drivers and same electronics. The... | |
| Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music? Not at all easy with large ATC to recognize the difference between live and a good recording. I think wide even dispersion and high dynamic range and a neutral uncolored sounding speaker are major factors but there is a lot that is required - so i... | |
| More Bad News AT Thiel Sad. I just hope privately owned ATC can pass on the business to the new young Engineering team that Billy Woodman has built & trained up. If he were to sell to investors that would be the beginning of the end. Of course, the owner has the rig... | |
| Most overrated bands @bdp24 I agree about Beck - boring pablum. I disagree about dancing though. Look at RHCP - nobody would criticize RHCP as not being artists yet they tear it up at every show. That is showmanship and you can be both an artist and a showman. Duran D... | |
| Streaming Services - do they do everything? +1 jond | |
| Are you Sirius? Sirius is like 52 Kbps quality. Basically as bad as youtube or worse. Pointless for serious music listeners but fine for talk show and sports. | |
| Use pink noise disc to warm up stereo Of course it depends on the equipment. Tubes definitely need to warm up. Most SS designs should not change audibly if they are well designed and working well. | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? @robob I think you will be delighted with the DAC+ it has the ESS 9028 chip and offers all the filter options that come with the chip. Benchmark also bypassed the filters on this chip in order to achieve a more transparent sound but this gives the... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? @robob I think it is safe to say you will be happy with either DAC. The Benchmark DAC 3 is glitch free on switching formats and syncs within 6 msec which is practically instantaneous.Advantages of DAC3 will be for intersample overs which exist on ... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? I concurr - clearly Wilson is not going to take the OP to the next level of enjoyment. I would try Focal - similar bass heavy sound but better driver integration, IMHO. Alternatively, ATC are good at low mid range - in fact most speakers with a cr... | |
| Current recording engineers - what cables used? Benchmark or Weiss | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? @schubert Your Prof is right. Universities have become big profit centers with large marketing departments. The cost of books and tuition and salaries of those in the administration have sky rocketed in the last three decades. Student debt is at a... | |
| We need DAC's with tone controls and EQ +1 SteveAlso the latest Weiss DAC has what you are looking for. |
