| Benchmark DAC1 USB vs. Rega R Dac The Benchmark DAC 3 is so much better than the DAC 1 that I would go for that. The DAC 1 was great 10 years ago. | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Well if you are interested in developments at the high end, ATC have developed their own tweeter (available since about a year or two) Similar to their legendary 3" dome mid range, this tweeter has a double spider for stability and no ferrofluid. ... | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers @audiotroy The Quested and PMC don't quite have the level of detail of the ATC mid but for listening they both sound great. They also have more bass than ATC but again not quite as precise and tight as ATC. I think dragon_vibe finds the less clini... | |
| Voxativ loudspeakers and drivers Basically they use a whizzer cone instead of a crossover. This can sound very good and needs less power than a speaker with a crossover. It is also like a single point source so should image very well. It was the preferred approach for car stereo ... | |
| Best Drum Solos Check out this drummer from Canadahttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ryvuvac3JXoThis is perhaps why I like all drummers - everyone brings something to the table either from a unique style, feel or masterful ability in certain aspects. I don’t think I c... | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers @dragon_vibe +1 on Quested - great speakers and Trevor Horn is amazing so you can trust his ears!Quested uses ATC mid range on Hans Zimmers large soffit mounted monitors. PMC also used the ATC mid range (I think they have been using a cheaper clon... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here @erik_squires I would agree with Wilson philosophy. Mid range is most important followed by bass and finally treble.The fact is that very good tweeters can be made for about $50 and the job they do is fairly easy - so why spend more?A good mid ran... | |
| Best Drum Solos As for Bonham, he really supported the song adding to Jones or Page while keeping everything in a funky swing feel with plenty of tasty triplets. No mention of David Garabaldi?And Dennis Chambers??or Dany Carey ???There are sooooo many fantastic d... | |
| Best Drum Solos So far I see no mention of Phil Rudd the human metronome who just sits in the pocket all night long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tOKYFR4Rzg&feature=shareI don't think I have ever seen Phil do a drum solo! | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering @seanheis1 Secret Sauce LOLNothing new about anything I mentioned - all this has been understood for 50 years and more. Most conventional loudspeaker designers go a long way to avoid comb filtering - careful driver placement and steep crossovers a... | |
| Opinion: Turning Off the Filtering Absolutely I can hear the room and surfaces around you when someone speaks or claps the hand.I would be able to get around quite OK if I were blind as I can definitely sense things around me aurally. Ever see a blind person tapping their white sti... | |
| Best Drum Solos +1 bdpall excellent drummers!I agree about the importance of tasty groove drumming that just carries the songI think Steve Ferrone deserves a mention toohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk3N84ArTnoand Chad Smith who is just a fantastic groove pocket ... | |
| I guess I have to sell my Tekton Enzos @kdude66 From about 4 to 15 KHz in the case of the tweeter. 4Khz is about 3 inches and 15KHz is about 1 inch in wavelength. As an example imagine two tweeters spaced 6 inches apart. The combined reflected energy they give out will produce total ca... | |
| I guess I have to sell my Tekton Enzos More examples of comb filtering - hopefully you now know what to listen for - it is certainly not always a bad sound - quite often it is desirable in pop/rock and electronic music. The faux stereo effect is perhaps the most impressive demo on the ... | |
| I guess I have to sell my Tekton Enzos @kdude66 If you are familiar with panels then you will know the sound of comb filtering. If you use a flanger or reverb on a guitar you will be familiar with the effect too.It is hard to describe but comb filtering makes the sound seem to come fro... |
