Anyone know much about Digital Phase Audio
Do not worry about lack of mass market reviews, you won't find those since the company doesn't spend money on marketing.Without any doubt these speakers are the real deal.I have posted about them before, here and on Gearslutz. I compared directly ... 
GEM Dandy Record Cleaner - Has Anyone Tried It ?
I've had it over a year, absolutely fantastic cleaning system. This thing has completely revolutionized my enjoyment of listening to LPs, even old rejects that had long been given up for dead.It is very easy to use and not really too messy in the ... 
How to fix "hum" in Carver Preamp & Hafler Amp?
Ground loop is indeed the first thing to check. Always run power to your entire system from only one single circuit. if you are plugged across 2 or more different outlets then you are likely going to have problems.All the older Carver amps I have ... 
Active Speakers: The usual suspects ....
Yes, thanks, but I was asking if you did actual hands on (ears on) side by side listening of the MM27 in A/B with other speakers or monitors. In your place or...?Steve 
Active Speakers: The usual suspects ....
Shadorne, I'd be interested to know what you compared the MM27 to. Some folks I know who bought them have only previously owned NS10 and such. I have not been inclined to listen to Barefoot, since I won't spend that budget and like my separate amp... 
Active Speakers: The usual suspects ....
I have owned/used the Focal Twin6 Be, PMC TB2+ (powered by Bel Canto, McIntosh, Carver, etc.), JBL LSR6328P, Klein + Hummel O300D, some others. All running in a Realtraps treated room.I would pick the O300 easily as the top choice from that batch ... 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
I don't know how the term 'vintage' came to mean 'old'. That word simply describes some specific period of time, originally applied to wine.About like saying 'back in the day'. huh? When was that?Merriam-Webster:Main Entry: vin·tage Pronunciation:... 
Digital Phase AP-4
That sounds like a nice setup Bob. Please do post back on your impressions of those big beauties once they are broken in.BTW I am running all my rooms with Bel Canto eVo 200.2 amps and Zu Libtec speaker cables, very good setup for my needs. What a... 
Digital Phase AP-4
As I've posted here and there, I have had the smallest AP-.7 and the higher end EP-SM1. All of the Digital Phase speakers use the same unique one-piece titanium tweeter, which is without any doubt the most spectacular sounding tweeter I have ever ... 
Modern monitor that images like Celestion SL600 ?
Best imaging (most three dimensional) speakers I have found are Digital Phase EP-SM1. They are not on the website, but check here for contact: http://www.digitalp.comI keep meaning to write a review on these, they are really special. Apparently DP... 
Owners of speakers by obscure companies chime in
Digital Phase EP-SM1. They have been building speakers in Tenneseee for 22+ years. Unique and patented bass porting. The designer sent me the measurements of the actual pair I bought: ± 1.5 dB from 40 to 20K, -3 dB at 38 Hz, -4 at 35 Hz. The imped... 
Great -Small- Cheap subwoofer ?
Hsu STF-1, $299. All Hsu subs have 4th order crossovers that go from 30 to 90 Hz -- that steep filter and wide range is a very big deal for dialing in the right match with an assortment of mains and rooms. The STF-1 plays 28 Hz cleanly and with au... 
Is two Subs better than One?
Jimmdavis has good advice, experimenting is key. I've done it both ways. It often really depends on where you set the crossover, the sub's capabilities, and on your room/placement.The only way to really get proper bass response is to install bass ... 
Best source for advice/sales acoustic treatments?
Agree with contacting Ethan Winer at Real Traps for acoustical treatment products. They are the real deal.Russ Berger would be my first choice for custom design work:http://www.rbdg.com/people/russSteve 
What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam?
Hsu STF-1 subwoofer, $299. Add speaker of choice.:)In my experience, studio monitors are not going to do that, they are not intended for nor desired to create punchy bass. Just accurate. And typically only to around 40-50 Hz.Steve
