| Mid life audio crisis Yeah - my only regret is that I have lost a little cash - but hey life is tooooo short to get stressed over that!Monty | |
| Mid life audio crisis Hey Shadorne - thanks for the message. I've never been happier with my system!I'm taking time to listen to music, just sitting back and enjoying the tunes, without worrying about tweaking etc...And with the cash I've made I'm buying more and more ... | |
| Mid life audio crisis Okay - close your eyes all you hard core audiophiles... I have finally done what I set out to do and that is to simplify my hi-fi and use a Mac/DAC1 as a source.Gone are the Merlins, Joule, Berning, Audio Aero and Cardas and now my system consists... | |
| Mid life audio crisis I have no idea how the modified DAC1 compares to the Cosecant DAC v3 - I have no intention of changing my Empirical Audio DAC1 - it really that good in my opinion! | |
| Mid life audio crisis Hi,Just to through a curve ball into the Benchmark DAC1/PMC AML1 active speaker combo - today is the last day I have the PMCs before they are returned and I had a friend of a friend drop buy with a Manley 2 channel passive EQ.I know this is probab... | |
| Mid life audio crisis Ahhhh Shadorne.... Tower of Power Soul Vaccination is one of my all time favs' and you are right it does sound as if you are right in there!As funk trumpet player myself I really appreciate Tower of Power - Amazing through these PMCs!You are right... | |
| Mid life audio crisis James,You are so right - the DAC1 unmodified can sound lean, but in my view it sounds 'honest' - it adds and takes nothing away from the source/sound. I had my DAC1 modified by Empirical Audio - Steve Nugent and it is streets ahead of the unmodifi... | |
| Mid life audio crisis I have a pair of PMC AML1 set up in my room. Amazing sound from these speakers - they appear to defy the laws of physics. The bass is fast and quite deep, but it is the transparency where these speakers excel.There is no need for a sub in my room!... | |
| Mid life audio crisis Hi,I have decided to arrange a home demo of the PMC AML1 active speakers along with PMCs SB100 sub powered by a Bryston PowerPack 300 and using a Bryston cross over.I hope this set-up sounds as good as it should.I will feed back my findings.Monty | |
| Mid life audio crisis Shadorne,I love dynamics and energy and I value hearing exactly what is on a disk. This has its drawbacks, in that quite a few of my disks sound real bad through the Benchmark.PMC recommend their SB100 that features the PMC 10" flat carbon fibre &... | |
| Merlin room positions Bobby,The speakers are 3 feet away from the side walls.Monty | |
| Merlin room positions Okay,Quick reply as I'm still experimenting with speaker position.Speakers now 48 inches away from a solid brick back wall - I measured this to the back of the speaker.Back wall now damped with large rug hung on the wall.Speakers 6ft apart measure... | |
| Monoblocks to consider? Hi guys,Heat from the amps is not a problem... however, reliability and the need to 'just use' an amp is essential - that is one reason why I didn't consider the Joule mono's.It would seem most of you believe the Berning has damn good bass and the... | |
| Monoblocks to consider? Hi,Thanks for the replies.I have never really considered a sub... and to be honest I have no idea where to start - I guess I need to do some more research.I have considered a 2nd Berning, but they don't appear for sale all that often and I'm not s... | |
| Replace my Berning ZH-270? Blackwillard - what speakers do you suggest? |
