| Any experience with SP Technology Timepiece spkrs? Not to dismiss discussion here, but they have their mfg-sponsored forum at Audio Circle. Lots of detail there. | |
| Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons? Robert and Rythmace4218,Thanks for the perspectives. Steve knew that I was truly eval'ing these speakers and taking advantage of the generous 45 day trial; we spoke about it very frankly and openly. I'm simply saying they sounded bad enough for me... | |
| Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons? I strongly disagree with Ted's statement that they need 45 to 60 days of continuous play or they "sound like crap". I have 580 hours on mine and they continue to mesmerize me everytime I am in the sweetspot. It is true that they need a significant... | |
| Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons? I own the Sasons and love them, but have spoken many many times to Dale about the Summits too. They are, as you said, both very very good speakers with very little ad or review momentum, and the designers are top notch customer-focused folks. RSA'... | |
| Re-arranged Room Sounds Awful...How to Improve? What is that on the right most wall (looking at the drawing; i.e it's now the wall behind the listener)? If it's glass doors on a firepalce it might be ringing back to you, messing up things considerably. Maybe some diffusors on that back wall (wa... | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? I had a pair of ATC active 150's (half again the volume of the large 100's). they were spectacular, but I bought them used unheard, unseen, and they were too large for my room (and my room ain't small....15.25 x 23 x 10). My room doubles as a HD-b... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? I used the term "revolutionary" to give the benefit of the doubt. Supposedly their RUR, aside from the EAC-like " rip to it hurts" error rereading, strips bad-sounding Reed Solomon EC data off the disc, but nowhere is there proof that this is uniq... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? I've posted here more than once saying that Nova ought to be a software house, assuming RUR and (more importantly) the Reed-Solomon extraction methods are high value proprietary code. The rest of this solution is, frankly, hardware commodity stuff... | |
| Center channel phase question. Steuspeed is commenting on time alignment more than phase. I think the OP means is his center channel woofer moving out when the others are, and vice versa. There are a number of multichannel test discs, but my favorite (cuz it tests phase for all... | |
| What's your favorite audio codec? 07-19-07: ShadorneAAC 128 is darn good...AAC 256 is almost undetectable from uncompressed CD quality, IMHOOn a portable player, yes (I use 224 AAC on my iPod when not using Apple Lossless for well-recorded stuff), but on a music server played thro... | |
| What's your favorite audio codec? wav. Storage is cheap, getting cheaper, compression is usually only 50% at best, and may (I say may) have a deleterious sonic effect during decompression. That being said, I use FLAC for my SB3, but find that if I'd want to move to a USB pc (or MA... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? Scaena! and DGarretson,Thanks. Soooo, the MP player DAC is indeed completed and has been evaluated/listened to? I guess I thought it was still in planning/development stages. Has anyone gotten a handle on what the DAC compares with (i.e does it ho... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? I will reiterate this question one more time:Why, oh why, doesn't ANYONE who has heard the MP player ever tell what the DAC was and what the other electronics were. I've never in my life heard someone talk about a transport like this, while sluffi... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? Audio_tweakers,Have you heard the Accustic Arts Dac Mk IV? if so, what is it about the MP (and what DAC was connected) that beat it? ThxTed | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? 07-14-07: Askat1988They weren't talking about Alex. Read.?? Uh, yes they were. And AudioOracle's apology/explanation followed. Please don't just jump in this thread and state "read"! It comes off way too self-righteous, and I know you didn't mean ... |
