| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally @peter_s The best overall floor stander or “tower” in the ATC line up is the SCM 150 Active or SCM 50 Active (depending on room size with the 50 suitable for smaller rooms).The best bang for the buck would be ATC SCM 40 Active. The 50 and upward... | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally The volume issue is simply that they are voiced at realistic music levels. The equal loudness contours effectvmeans that relatively speaking ATCs sweetspot (where treble and bass are balanced) is a little higher than your typical smilie EQ speaker... | |
| Dac selections All are excellent choices. Alternative to these could be RMI ADI 2 Pro or Teac 501.Lots of great DACs out there. Mytek is bit further back from the front row seating presentation of the other two but not much in it.Benchmark is robust and will han... | |
| Are many audiophiles only seeking approval of the next purchase? Yes. Absolutely. Some folks take decades to discover what some already know here. Many folks never get further than their comfort zone. Some kick themselves when it finally dawns on them that equipment selected by leading artists, top sound engine... | |
| Who is the best singer of the world ? @bdp24 @schubert Just when I think nobody else would notice Emma Kirby, you guys surprise me once again. A remarkable voice and talent. My favourite classical versions are some of the works conducted by Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music. ... | |
| It was 50 years ago today.... As musicians the Beatles were rather rudimentary and unremarkable.As song writers, the Beatles were perhaps the greatest of all time. So many memorable melodies and great lyrics. I never choose to listen to the Beatles but I heard them so much gro... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Yes for me it is low jitter, better differential linearity and less noise with 6 bit sigma delta DACs that are the reason for recent improvements in sound.Upsampling helps randomize differential non-linearity. As usual, noise is always assumed to ... | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally @celtic66 All pale in comparison.My experience exactly. I have been using ATCs in various forms since 1994. I keep auditioning other speakers - most recently a top of the line Monitor Audio. Other SOTA speakers are indeed extremely good and I co... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Totally agree. DACs are finally getting things right. Although upsampling has been used for at least 20 years it is only recently that the higher quality of the upsampling/filtering has improved enough to really make digital more analogue sounding... | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally Welcome to a rather exclusive club. There is nothing quite like Active ATCs. Revealing, immediate and yet entirely natural sounding.You join the likes of Diana Krall to Mark Knopfler. Jack White to Coldplay to Sting to Enya to Pink Floyd. Countles... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross C47 that Techno refers to is not a C2600. If you have never rolled tubes then I understand why you could possibly think a tube amp out of the box can be categorized by its performance with its stock tubes. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross Nearly opposite of my findings with C2600. The DAC in the C2600 is of little interest and rather ho-hum. The treble is a bit too forward. Bass is not tight at all - fairly middle of the road compared to SS - but fortunately it isn’t... | |
| Music similar to Mike Oldfield Check out Jean Michel Jarre. Walter/Wendy Carlos. Try also early Rush 2112, hemispheres and a Farewell to Kings (Xanadu). Depeche Mode Construction Time. Jethro Tull. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @lhasaguy No surprise that the C2600 will need a bit of tube rolling to sound its very best. That said, out of the box it is very pleasant sounding. I have no qualms recommending it. The phono stages are absolutely first class and the line st... | |
