| Classical Music for Aficionados Well, having worked through several CDs of worthy but unexceptional music and/or performance, I'm back today with the group ACRONYM and their Biber CD entitled The Battle, The Bethel & the Ball. Music by Biber or (mainly) anonymous but attrib... | |
| Good CDTransport (player) without DAC? You might check Google for reports of the (un)reliability of the Cyrus. There may be a reason it's at a bargain price... | |
| A moderate priced dac Check out Jolida Black Ice Audio FX DAC. $800. A winner. | |
| My “Dream” system needs a preamp Look into Backert Labs. | |

| Speaker Height / Tilt So there’s a "right side up" for raw tweeter drivers? If the mounting housing was round or square and symmetrical, you could actually position it 4 different ways and create different frequency responses?? Same true of mid-ranges? | |
| Speaker Height / Tilt Measurable output decreases off-axis. Just look at any of the Atkinson measurements of speakers in Stereophile. Because of numerous variables, each model will differ in how a tweeter output decreases.Also, some speakers are actually designed to ... |
