Hmmmm...Gutenberg has lots of opinions but small amounts of understanding of current advances in speaker/amp designs, in my opinion...which may not be completely accurate either. Such is the nature of opinions.But, my ATC 50's, active, blow the s... | |

| Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity For a few years now I have been listening to ATC 50 scm active floor standing speakers. A midrange driver covering from about 380 Hz to 3200 Hz, the entire midrange with no crossover. The amps are 200, 100, and 50 watts for the lower, mid and high... | |
| What other hobby... Photography can be a never ending pursuit of hardware, software, and and infinite sequence of layers. I have been doing it asa hobby for over 60 years--about as long as I have been pursuing that "most satisfying" sound. | |
| If you had to start all over again in this day and age Started from scratch again, building my fifth system in 60 years. To enjoy great music, I started with a pair of ACT SRC50's-active, and PS Audio electronics from the regenerator (great), direct stream DAC, direct stream transport, BHK preamp (Am... | |
| Lets talk dedicated lines How to handle a dirty power source? I did it by installing a regenerator. I was amazed at the solid sound field and lack of "hearing the electricity" as I had for several years. Problem solved---consider a regenerator. | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. Several yers ago when very good DAC's and transports came on the market I was impressed with the "clean" sound of well done CD's. I found myself listening to CD's most of the time. The internal battle with my vinyl setup, and it was a good one, ... | |
| Any other lone audiophiles here? I like the approach Elizabeth has taken. I am surrounded by genius-level performers and composers. Like Artemus_5 I have no audiophile friends around me, no audiophile stores with in an hours drive...but I have a great system. I have been doing... | |
| Thoughts on extending speaker life. The only problem I ever had was evaporation of the ferrofluid in tweeters. This can be serviced with some tweeters, but mine were not in that class. A sorry problem for a supurlative and expensive speaker, albeit one of a little age. There are ... | |
| Music lover or audiophile? For me it's all about the music...but the music must be well presented. | |
| Ultimate power condotioner Instead of moving to a rural location (farmhouse) and being surrounded by concrete walls and with an unlikely external voltage, you can really clean up the power with a reconditioner. I yelled at my TVA sockets for years until I finally inserted ... | |
| Why are you into hi end audio? I started fooling round with "Hi-Fi" in the mid '50's with a Heathkit mono and homemade speakers. Why? I heard a commercial Hi-Fi at a friends house and was hooked. Since then my inherent love of music and sound got me hooked. In college bough... | |

| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? I think the best way to judge the quality of a stereo system is a comparison with live music, piano, voices )solo and grouped), in various environments. I've never heard an audio system that truly sounds like a Steinway grand, but some come very ... |
