My audio phile's are on my hard drive!
Where are your's?
I agree with the transducer being the most important part's of the chain. But......
I don't discount wire in the signal chain. I also don't get too carried away with it. Monster SP 1000 works very well, and really has an audible difference (something I proved awhile back with some posted .wav files) over Horizon, Hosa, APC, ProCo, etc......If you can't hear the difference between them through your system, well, something else is wrong, and it should be addressed, which brings us back to transducers being important.
I bought the Event 20/20's for a couple of difference reasons. The creators of those monitors also created many of the upper end JBL/Urie monitors, and (although I don't care for them, they work okay, sort of...) the Alesis Monitor One's. Also, they didn't waste a lot of money in the price point on some weird looking fancy box, but rather, put the money into good tranducers and crossovers. The 20/20's also came with some impressive endorsements, and were and still are what my studio consultant would recommend for near field monitoring.
I bought the Hafler P-3000 Trans Nova because you can see it as the amp of choice in many big time studios that can afford much more expensive amps. Hafler's upper end amp's are not a tough decision to make if you want a great sounding amp with power o' plenty.
I have compared the Monster SP 1000 speaker cable to Mogami, and there is no comparison at all. Extended low's and high's, deeper resolution, really nice rise and fall times, etc.....It is as advertised. Simply a stunning sounding wire.
smellyfuzz. I have a new "anti-flame" policy for posting on this BBS, and you should be so lucky that I do. Two months ago I would have delivered a tounge lashing on your character that would have been legendary.....But I am sure that some of the other replies to this thread are making up for my lack of offense....
It is usually a good idea to post some of your work before passing value judgements about the people on this BBS. I certainly don't get complaints about my work (I do from those who never post any of theirs though.....????.....) I don't consider myself an audiophile, but, I think I am a competent engineer, and I am using relatively crap gear. I have also heard some very stunning recording from some of the people on this BBS, some of which has made me envious! But, I guess I missed your's. Maybe you could share some of it with us. If not, well, expect some negative responces to your seeming "uppity" attitude about audio production.
Also remember that the reason that many of the people on this are trying to learn and share how to make music sound real, and how to reproduce it. If everyone knew, this site would be useless. Get it?
