Either Neumann or Genelec They are very similar in the important specs One thing that may influence your decision - the crossover and speaker management functions in the Neumann are digital, whereas in this model of Genelec they are analog While this gives you extra possibilities in the...

Pretty much, yes By and large, electronic engineering problems in the Audio domain were solved a very long time ago. Advances in manufacturing over recent decades have reduced the cost of implementation to a near-trivial amount. These days, serious efforts in electronic engineering are not...

8030C has separate amps for each driver, and the (analog) crossover works at line-level, prior to amplification. If you want to drive them using a single stereo amp, you'll have to provide your own passive crossovers and connect directly to the driver terminals

One model stands out over others for me - Linn Kan MK1, auditioned at a high-end dealer, turn of the 90s On recording after recording, they had an uncanny ability to replace the drum kit with an assortment of pots and pans whilst equipping the vocalist with a loudhailer to sing through.

"no analog to digital conversion in our vinyl cutting process" I'm guessing the way this would be argued in court, if it came to that and was presented as evidence, would be that they meant not using a digital delay line in the actual cutting process - which, by the way, became widespread in...

The thought most likely to be correct, in my opinion, would be - there just wasn't that much difference between the bitrates Reasons: The song chosen could be "friendly" to lower bitrates - audibility of artifacts varies from example to example, and there are always "golden samples" to either...

Bizarre that this has been released under a subscription model. Where is the ongoing value? After all, the shape of my head isn't going to change any time soon..

I used to get this occurring when there was an excess of DC offset in the incoming digital signal (I use my DX3Pro+s in a recording studio setting, so DC offsets can happen often) I stopped it happening by incorporating DC highpass filters in my equalisation setups

That's the tradeoff between a durable analog carrier that cannot be perfectly copied, and a less durable digital carrier that can be copied and distributed infinitely. Having said that, the balance has now been tipped firmly in favor of digital - there are now optical digital media that are...

In my case, yes, the DAW is running all the time. I have automation tools that make that easy to manage though. A DAW is not required to use plugins, of course; I believe Equalizer APO can host VST plugins itself. My listening space is also a recording studio, so for me it just makes sense...

If your player supports hosting the plugin formats I mentioned, or your player's output feeds something else that does using the ASIO protocol, then yes, there should be no problem. In my case, I use an RME RayDAT audio interface, which: Has 36/36 channels of audio I/O Has a multi-client ASIO...

I'm using MFreeformEqualizer for system equalization on speakers and headphones. It's a plugin, VST, VST3, AU and AAX, 32/64 bit, Win/Mac, made by Meldaproduction (currently half price, £21). My Audio hub is an ASIO DAW running on Windows. It's a bit different to typical equalizers, in that...

Got a pair of these today - one for speakers, one for headphones! Very nicely built and, of course, sound is exemplary coming through my Genelecs and Sennheiser HD580 Substantially better for phones than the old Behringer Ultramatch I had been stuck using. Plenty of power too.

Musicbee has this built in:

Really glad you're enjoying the sound of these! ..and how you described them is just how I would, particularly the separation of instruments and sources.. Re-acquainting myself with music I've been familiar with for many years has been so much fun! Sleep mode does take a good while to kick...
