ATC scm 19 upgrade ??
BTW Powerestudio. How long have you had them? Maybe they have yet to fully burn in yet? Cos it takes quite a bit of run in for the bass to fill in for the ATCs. Also something you should know is that high power output amplifiers don't do so good a... 
Sealed Monitor Speakers
You can't really go wrong with the ATCs. Just make sure you have lots of juice (min 100W) on tap, well so the theory goes, cos my dealer actually uses tubes to power the SCM35s. And why are you going for the SCM7s when you can go for the 11s? I am... 
Confused by ICE applications
Is it just me or Icepower amps have an urgent sound. They sound more hyper-detailed than graceful and relaxed. 
ATC SCM7 vs. Proac Studio 110
Yeah ATCs will be the best choice if you intend to mount them to the wall. Bass seems to get reinforced without blurring the image. By theory the ATCs should have better bass extension than the Proacs but not in terms of power where a ported bass ... 
And digital rippers that can read external HD's?
From what I learned, it is compatible with a networked UPnP certified hard drive. I have been using the new Olive for a month now and the sound quality connected to my Bel Canto DAC3 is quite excellent. Hope this helpsAlexander 
External DAC for PS3
But what do you think about the latest top of the line offering from Meridian? Reviewers thought that normal cds sounds like DVD-A through it. I believe that it is very true that it cost a lot less to produce good cd playback, however, now that th... 
Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner
ShadorneYou think so? The cleanliness of power can have an effect on the clock performance of a D/A converter? How important exactly is AC power? I thought just a decent quality power should yield good results for your equipments? I have already h... 
Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner
Shadorne.I don't think computers are the culprit here since before the installation of noise destroyers, the sound of my system was actually darker. Right now, it sounds a lot more energetic like it has been given a vitamin drink. Anyways I notice... 
High end Audio for ladies? Check this out
Women are more into high quality electronics than they used to. Take my older sister for example, she just spent a sizeable chunk of her home renovation budget on a B&W 800 and Classe home theater setup. Another lady friend of mine was just te... 
How important is S/N Ratio....?
Wavetrader,I will love to upgrade the components n my components too, but have you ever wondered whether it might be detrimental to the flow of current when you use different solders to what was originally used on the circuit boards? Like the inte... 
RMAF 2008 - Your impressions,...
Thanks Glory,I am so gonna get it. I found the CS2 a lil low end for my taste. 
External DAC for PS3
No.... bad idea. It does not give a good sound. Don't know about the Benchmark though cos I am using the Bel Canto DAC3 which is supposedly rated higher than the Benchmark. The sound lacks any form of richness whatsoever with cds. Even Blu-ray sou... 
How important is S/N Ratio....?
I know I am intruding to a 2 person discussion here but theories do suggest that an amplifier with low noise means a good power supply and a product of a good circuit designer. Low distortion generally means an amplifier that gives less fatigue to... 
How important is S/N Ratio....?
Well noise in coming from Vinyl is a part of the playback which I think is totally different from the noise generated from an amplifier. Noise coming from the playback of analog sources is inherent to the technology itself, where physical contact ... 
Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner
Interesting... I just got 2 noise destroyer from the Cable company. I already have a noise harvester installed. When I inserted them into my system, I was trying to listen for more darkness because apparently that is what noise free power supply s...
