| Headphone question atmasphere - Perhaps "every" was too absolute. But in order to avoid any EQ, the recording process must be completely under the control of people who eschew EQ. If control over the recording is given to third parties where this cannot be assured... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? That's some good Audio porn right there, Peterr53! Keep the pics coming. This is fascinating! | |
| Headphone question Sorry it took so long to post this: I ended up with a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M40X cans. Comfortable, rugged, and perfect for my application. Very neutral and accurate, with good isolation from ambient noise. I would not call them "high-end... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! The Indiegogo campaign was successful, and my beta SC-2 unit is expected to ship in March. I will report my experience with this unit here. | |
| More from VPI! My local audio society will be visiting the VPI factory on January 15th. We may get to see and hear this 'table and other new goodies! I am very stoked for this! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? peterr53 - Remember that there is really only one setting of the switches that works for each listener in a given room. If you want, you could make your settings permanent and fixed, and eliminate the switches. This would reduce the speakers' ut... | |
| Vandersteeen 2wq (or any sub) in small room My basement listening room is larger than the o.p.’s, but concerns about placement are, in this case, IMHO, unwarranted. The Vandersteen 2Wq is designed to sit in a corner, so the issues of boundary reinforcement are already baked into the cake. A... | |
| You were right about adding a sub. I could not be more thrilled with my pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subs with battery-biased crossovers. They have the same effects listed by the o.p., and are totally transparent and they blend seemlessly with my mains. When you get that ---- eating g... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Darn it, Peterr53! You have really stoked my curiousity. Not having any of the DIY skills you do (and even if I did, I have no time, anyway), I am searching through my Swiss-cheese of a memory for people I know and trust that can do this mod cor... | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? dsnyder0cnn: FWIW, I am always surprised by how good my brother's vintage Cerwin-Vega speakers sound, powered by a modest Denon AVR and mid-fi sources. You would think they would be bright and distorted (the California sound?), but they are actu... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? peterr53 - Wow! You answered one of my nagging questions: How would Ohms sound with a ribbon tweeter? So, we have to ask, which tweeter did you use? Is it a folded-type? I have really liked most of the Heil-type folded ribbon tweets I have he... | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? tommy - Ohm offers a 120 in-home trial. While you will lose the round-trip shipping, it’s still a good way to audition speakers. My taste in rock music differs a lot from yours, but I can crank my Ohms up really loudly, and they do not lose their ... | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? I love my Ohm Walsh 2000s ($2800/pr). Depending on the cubic footage of your room, you may need a larger model (see the Ohm web site), but the 3000s are $4000/pr, and are appropriate for rooms up to 5400 cubic feet. I enjoy my 2000s with all types... | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... djohnson54 - Hat tip to you, man! I had no idea that dBPoweramp could do that! Looks like I will be re-ripping my HDCDs. I don’t have that many of them, so not a big deal for me. | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks I have heard many Totems, and except for the Element series, I would be hard pressed to come up with brighter speakers! With that in mind, two wise-guy suggestions:1. Get an equalizer, and boost all the high frequencies as much as possible.2. G... |
