| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers @1graber2 Large ATC are one of the few select speakers of choice for "shock and awe" in multi-million $ facilities. (Basically impress the hell out of the clients)Prism launched a new HiFi version of their DAC at British Grove last year...again ... | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? @lalitk I see - so there is a time correction and even with lossy compression it sounds better than the original raw full resolution file. Sounds magical! | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? @lalitk MQA is a black box. I guess the benefits depend on whether the MQA lossy de-ringing processed 24bit 192KHz file is better than a lossless bit perfect 24bit 48 KHz file.... | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? @lalitk Thanks. It explains things without explaining anything.How lossy is the unfolded data? Obviously taking a 24 bit 196KHz original and compressing to 24 bit 48 KHz file means that there is some lossy compression.Also de-ringing implies DS... | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices +1 Yes listening is key However, if a device like this makes a big difference then my logic is "Houston we have a problem" - upon hearing a large difference you need to ask yourself what is severely wrong with your setup and the components selecte... | |
| Dual subwoofers are quiet unless the balance is set off the to right or the left side? Check wiring.You may have both positive wires from the two channels connected to one woofer and both negative wires from the two channels connected to the other. Alternatively if your woofers are quite close to each other then you have inverted th... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette 2's vs Tekton Ulf's If the Ulf’s are so much better than the DI it begs the question what is wrong with the DI?I have had three sizes of ATC - the bookshelf 20 (6 " woofer), the 100 (12") and the larger 150 (15") and they all sound very much the same just more dynami... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @aniwolfe 6" is too large for a mid range. 4" is a good size. 3" is probably ideal. 2 inch is too small (not enough SPL at the low end of mid range)This are well known facts to speaker designers due to beaming that comes from a driver at wavelengt... | |
| Remote Tidal from iPhone, how to connect? I use Roon and can control music from Tidal as well as my collection from iPhone or iPad. | |
| Tidal Masters post possibly hundreds of Universal Music Group titles Not sure I buy the MQA logic (is it really worth dropping bit depth to get higher sample rate than 48KHz) but my hats off to Tidal because the Masters selection does have some well mastered stuff!I now use Roon to control Tidal and my own music co... | |
| 14 Year Old Female Drummer @asvjerry @inna While I agree there are many talented youngsters out there it does not diminish the fact that this talent requires 1000’s of hours of work. As a musician myself I would never be disrespectful of ANY of these youngsters. If anything... | |
| 14 Year Old Female Drummer Wow. Thanks for sharing this. Fantastic musician - I did not realize that this was a trackless drum track until some of the fills halfway through. Brilliant.However, I don't regard a fantastic talented MUSICIAN, whose name is Sina, as a "chick". T... | |
| Always spend whats nessercery on high end cables they can make ahuge difference With all due respect I beg to differ on the investment necessary in cables for equipment to sound correctly. 10K spent on cables in a 40K system is extreme overkill on cabling, IMHO.I would suggest that there are likely issues with the choice of e... | |
| Unequal Speaker Cable Lengths - a solution from Cerious Technologies @almarg CT are varying the gauge of the wire presumably so the resistance of a longer cable matches that of a shorter cable. Low Resistance is probably the most important factor in a speaker cable (given signals at near light speed). It is kind of... | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers @david_ten My bad. I indeed meant to say clarity increases and distortion drops as you go to larger models but the overall sound remains totally consistent. The super version (stronger drive motor) of their 3 inch dome mid range combined with... |
