    Advice: ATC SCM40a quietly better compared to ATC SCM40

    Well, to be more precise, in studio, and I freelanced with many, tracking is ALWAYS done with actives connected to the console. 99 per cent of the time, those actives are Genelec. Mixing and mastering are another story. The studio I do freelance most, a very big one and pretty much the other I...

    Advice: ATC SCM40a quietly better compared to ATC SCM40

    Hi Rick, in the last paragraph I try to say I'm not sure the speaker drivers in both models are exactly the same and not - in the SCM40a - a someway updated version of them.

    Advice: ATC SCM40a quietly better compared to ATC SCM40

    Just my two cent. First I have to say I know ATC SCM40 pretty well. I started to work with them as a freelance producer and mixing/mastering engineer in a recordintg studio in the last three years and as the time passed I always loved and trusted them more. Now I have a brand new, bigger home...

    The Roksan Blak total power and the misleading WHF review

    This discussion become hilarious. Facts This BLAK amp is half the power of the NAD C375BEE rated at the same 150 watt PER CHANNEL on 8 ohm, this is tested by me. The NAD replaced the Blak on my setup against both ATC SMC40 and Tannoy Revolution XT 8F. Roksan representative confirmed...

    The Roksan Blak total power and the misleading WHF review

    WHF review statement: "Particularly when you consider its impressive muscularity - it's rated at 150W per channel into an eight-ohm load, rising to 230W as impedance halves." How the review can be correct if this is - according to Roksan - a FALSE statement? Come on, kill your idols and be real.

    The Roksan Blak total power and the misleading WHF review

    he did, reread my original post. And in copy of that e mail was another Roksan representative and that was the honest reply and yes volume knobs count like it count the real power output of the amp. and Roksan representatives admitted in the mail they sent to me, this is just rated 10 watt...

    The Roksan Blak total power and the misleading WHF review

    ? Roksan representative said it is 75 x 75 on 8 ohm. And this is confirmed by me in real world use. K3 is rated 70 x 70 on 8 ohm and it really is. NAD is out of the picture in this case. i still report this sentence in WHF review: ‘Particularly when you consider its impressive muscularity...

    The Roksan Blak total power and the misleading WHF review

    Yes, they really are. Yep, a lot of confusion on this amp, and related to WHF, they should just had an immediate feel about the real amp power like I had it myself the very first moment I attached them to my speakers. It was so obvious (unless they had a different unit from mine) in the first...

    The Roksan Blak total power and the misleading WHF review

    First of all, I have to say I do own a Roksan K3 and it is such a strong machine: It can pretty much play everything if you feed it with a quality source and it is rated probably little more than 70 + 70 watt per channel on 8 ohm like advised. I didn't know Roksan before K3 Whathifi review, and...

    NAD C356BEE vs Leema Tucana Mk 1

    You are lucky it was won. NAD are totally decent amps (like Rotels too), you probably didn't had any improvment if you had get the Lema. I read you are lucky about your NAD, so why change? NAD are usually very good products at the right price, they are used in professional environments too...

    There are no hifi speakers for metal

    Klipsch RF-7 mk II and you can't go wrong if paired with something like a NAD C375BEE. Ten inch woofers, plenty of pwer for rock and roll. And used in the studio too by very famous bands. Different sound then absolutely good for generally speakng hard rock and roll and blues Tannoy XF 8T paired...

    Chord Mojo

    I totally agree with the OP. Chord Mojo was the only and lonely piece of equipment with the WOW factor inside in years for me. It definitely change the way you enjoy digital music. It has analytical and warm approach to the music in the same time. There is nothing to compare with "commercial"...
