| CARA - Room Acoustic Software Sean, Yes; several YEARS for a fully accurate calculation, but it works well overnight (on a 1GHz machine) to give a good approximation.Yes CARA can accomodate openinings, but it will add to the calculation time unless you treat it as a simple ope... | |
| CARA - Room Acoustic Software I've been using CARA for a couple of months. It works wonderfully and I highly recommend it. I've been able to confirm the results with my Tact RCS.The only major flaw is that it would take an unrealistically long time (several years) to do an acc... | |
| Franklin Mint LP records I have the both complete 100 album sets of the Franklin Mint Jazz and Big Band Collections on red vinyl. If you have the accompanying books, they are not only great music/recordings, but VERY educational. I'd also be curious as to the value of the... | |
| Amp suggestion for Talon Khorus I'm using a BAT VK-50SE and couldn't be happier. However, I've been playing with a Tact RCS2.0 and may take out the 50SE. Once I get the Tact set up with the 50SE in place, I will take it out to see if there is noticable degredation from using the... | |
| Amp suggestion for Talon Khorus I had the BAT VK-75SE with my Khoruses. This Super amp sounded GREAT and I didn't think it could get much better. However, due to the hot tubes and little fingers in my house, I tried out the Bel Canto Evo 200.2 in monoblock configuration. Phenome... | |
| Bearing Isolation "Arms Race" Begins As soon as I saw this post, I thought about floating my rack. I have a Salamander Synergy rack that comes with six flat feet and there are no spikes available from Salamander. The current feet would fit perfectly onto the Aurios. It has got to be ... | |
| Speaker Positioning with Tact RCS 2.0 Thanks for the feedback so far. I have used CARA to place my speakers in my assymetrical room and it sounds GREAT. However, although my speakers (Talon Khorus) are along a 25'wall, CARA places them only 7ft apart. When I move them further apart, t... | |
| AES/EBU S/PDIF Genesis168 did not give the greatest advice here. As noted above, there are significant differences between the two digital specifications. An XLR-RCA adapter is designed for analog conenections, not digital. Just as RCA or XLR analog interconnect... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group My question was about ADC not DAC. Thanks. | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Has anyone compared other Analog to Digital converters with the Tact on-board unit, e.g. Wadia 150 or dCS? I just bought a unit with the ADC, but want to know if it would be worth upgrading to an outboard ADC since I'll be feeding in a pretty good... | |
| How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs Thank for the clarification Hbrandt. Oh well, it looks like I may have to keep my BAT VK-50SE in place. Seems like overkill, but what isn't in this hobby. | |
| Jazz Review: Miles Davis Thanks, Thanks, Thanks SD. You've done the man justice. I have a still sealed copy of the Classic 45RPM KOB waiting until my system gets "just right" to crack it open. I've had it for over a year and just last night I was considering opening it. I... | |
| How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs Hbrandt, it appears that you are also using the Tact as a DAC. Did you have the opportunity to try the Tact as a preamp using an outboard DAC? | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group I plan on hanging on to the BAT until I'm sure the Tact (delivered Weds.) works well in my system. However, keeping both is a pricey propostition when the costs of isolation, interconnect, digital and power cables is factored in. I'm very happy wi... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Actually, I will be using a Tact RCS 2.0 AD with an external DAC (Sonic Frontiers Processor 3). This means that all volume control will be through the Tact. I spoke to Tact yesterday and they said that they add bits so that lowering the volume doe... |
