Not Tuned, Characterless, Boring To listen Speaker System
Torpedo replied to Sechtdamon's topic in Speakers
How can you be sure that its character is due to the source and not your liking or the amplifier or speakers, even the room? We're speaking of performance levels that being truly objective and fully aware of what's going on is very difficult, especially if assessing "true neutrality". I'm just playing devil's advocate, I'm not a big fan of Benchmark either, but pay attention to its bass output, it's as good as it gets. -
HeadAmp Gilmore Lite mk2 Headphone Amp
Torpedo replied to nopants's topic in Headphone Amplification
I think it's just two SE TRS stereo outputs for "normal" headphones, although I ignore if there's some way to configure them to become an additional way to output balanced signal on two TRS jacks, one per channel. -

IMHO the Genelec, while at a great price point, are a bit hotter (in the treble) than real so they may enhance brightness on some sources and recordings. ATC speakers have that bias too, but as stated before, it's just my humble opinion. I'm half deaf now -
A friend of mine lent me for about one month their DAC-1. At first it sounded warm and likeable, but on the long run (after one week or two) it sounded too soft to be fun and enjoyable to me. No idea how the preamp performs, but if you're thinking of using the DAC, maybe you'd enjoy better something else.

Have you considered studio self-amplified monitors like Dynaudio BM12A or 15A? They're in the same range of studio performance you may be looking for, but more affordable than ATC or PMC. For ultimate performance check Lipinski and KK Audio too. If you must have separate amplifier and passive loudspeakers, they have good products too, but it'll be more expensive. Krell and Pass is highly recommendable stuff but more expensive than Bryston Depending on the power you need, there're plenty of brands making decent stuff at sensible prices. For sources Mytek is OK, I like my DSD. Lavry and Benchmark are worth considering too. -

Condolences, Knuckles.

I think it's the same free stuff they gave last year.

I dig it too, buy two brotha

I wish they control those fires soon, Ken. Take care.

I like that Bulova, one of the all black designs I'd wear, but at 45mm is too large for my wrist. However the steel metallic model on the video looks even better to me.

Congratulations, Jacob. I'm happy for you, finally things seem to come into terms Sorry for your accident, CJ. Fortunately you're fine. Maybe your insurance company can investigate what happened on their own interest. Good luck.

I've needed to refresh my knowledge. I haven't found the name for that frequency, which is around 500-800Hz depending on the distance between your ears. It's said to be the frequency whose half wavelength equals the head diameter. Brent probably can locate sounds of frequency as low as 30Hz.
