| ATC SCM150ASLT What a fascinating post and many interesting/informative responses. Clearly, ATC are a well respected manufacturer of great speakers. Must admit, I am also tempted to explore upgrading from my current speakers to SCM100ASL. I heard them last year ... | |
| Why don't they record in ‘surround stereo’? If you have a 4k Blu-ray player, try the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival blu-ray disc, all are recorded in stereo and surround sound. The surround sound tracks all sound amazing IMHO. | |
| ATC SCM150ASLT I heard a pair of ATC SCM100 ASL on demonstration at Axpona last year, partly demonstrated using streamed electronic music. All I can say is, the very best speakers I heard at the show; dynamic, realistic and beautifully made. If I had the room, I... | |
| What a great show looking forward to seeing this show, thanks for the tip. | |
| Is Aurender N10 still a good option Yes, for me the upgrade from a Bluesound Node to the N10 was night and day. See my post on this experience: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/streamer-upgrade-bluesound-node-to-aurender-n10 | |
| Jailhouse Rock Dancin' Thanks for posting mofimadness, Certainly put a smile on my face. | |
| Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player I have an Oppo UDP-205, in the 4 years I have owned it, performance has been flawless. Blu-ray and 4k UHD disc playback is about as good as it gets IMHO. Same goes for multi channel audio. | |
| Really Long XLR Try https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/balancedaudio/index.htm . I have ordered long (~20’) XLR cables from Blue Jeans Cables and they work fine at a reasonable price. Custom lengths are available. | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack Suggest you look at 2 Core Audio plyKraft 4L racks. Spacing on the racks can be customized to accommodate different component sizes. Performance and quality of these racks is second to none IMHO and they look beautiful. I have a custom Core Audio ... | |
| Studer A807 Here is an interesting post on Audigon discussing the superiority of 15ips 2T tape SQ versus vinyl or digital: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/reel-to-reel-machine-for-15-ips-playback All I can say is; IMHO 15ips 2T tape can have the best... | |
| How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions? Great question, no right or wrong answer here, this is purely a personal choice. In my case, the aesthetics of a HiFi system in my living room are important, I don’t want to look at an ugly collection of boxes whilst listening to music. Case in po... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? If you can stretch the budget, MFSL One-Step Ultradisc are about as good vinyl records get IMHO: 1. Muddy Waters - Folk Singer 2. Eric Clapton - Unplugged 3. Crosby Stills and Nash This is what Michael Fremer said about the Santana Abraxas MFS... | |
| Vintage Gyrodec TT power supply question Here is a great article detailing the history of the GyroDec: https://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/features-menu/in-good-company/1089-the-genesis-and-history-of-the-legendary-michell-gyrodec-turntable-dawn-of-a-new-era | |
| Vintage Gyrodec TT power supply question boywondr84, sure can, a lot more expensive than just replacing the power supply though. Have you checked which motor you have? Two ways to do this; send Michell Engineering your deck sn and they will tell you. Simpler, look at the motor, if there ... | |
| Vintage Gyrodec TT power supply question At the risk of stating the obvious, early Michell Engineering turntables had AC motors, newer ones (2001 onwards?) have DC motors. Consequently, if you have a pre 2001 GyroDec, the standalone upgrade PSU Michell Engineering now sell (HR Power Supp... |
