| Recording quality... Not true. The golden era of multi-million facilities and record companies sponsoring artists to spend months coming up with masterpiece (assisted by producers and sound engineers who are often great artists themselves) IS DEAD. Telarc folded a few... | |
| Most coherent low volume speaker with very fast bass under 10k used? +1 for ATC | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. Most speakers use lowest cost good enough drivers to minimize price point.In general the two way speaker that started in the 70's is really one big cost compromise - one less driver but always of limited performance. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Sorry to hear so many suffer from poor quality equipment that they end up trying half a dozen cables to try to fix it. In my experience, a band aid is always a band aid even if you give it a fancy name after a snake or a Lab or a University in Bo... | |

| Good CDs Bad Recording With respect to Rush.They have never sounded good - Power Windows was perhaps the best sound.I suspect Geddy Lee's hearing is not that good - for example he likes Fleet Foxes which is terribly compressed. | |

| Why does bi-amping speakers sound better? Realization is quite there already : AVI ADM9.1 already have Wolfson DAC's in the speaker. | |
| Good CDs Bad Recording RHCP with Rick Rubin. Producers like Rick crushed the sound and garnered a great reputation for their in you face sound. Unfortunately it went from tasteful compression in the 70's and 80's to horrible lifeless harsh sound in the 90's. Fortunately... | |
| Why does bi-amping speakers sound better? If bi-amping is excellent then active speakers are the next and fantastic logical step - get rid of those lossy crossovers altogether and totally eliminate intermodulation distortion by asking the amp to only amplify what the driver is required to... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I would not say vinyl is better but it can be especially with the digital loudness wars of the last 20 years having ruined a lot of good music. Japanese vinyl is usually excellent and that is all I have ever boiught - the rest can be disappointing... | |
| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. Well not exactly but almost. I first heard ATC in 1994 in a small hifi store in Aberdeen. The decision was immediate to buy the display model ATC SCM 20 they had and has been permanent so far - I have stuck with ATC and steadily moved up their pro... | |
| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: Boney M | |
| Mystery of the Disappearing Frequency @trytone I would agree that you cannot do much to fix room modes. Radically moving the speakers may help but it is unlikely to entirely fix a problem at 50 Hz - as I explained the wavelength is longer than your room! Short of finding another room... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Geoff, Pick up any of hundreds of books on audio amplifier or speaker design. You will find ample proof that equipment is designed to minimize extraneous noise from the power supply (that is where you will find the fuse). You will find a low outpu... |
