| John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away So sorry to hear. Love my upgraded 4’s in my TV system - his memory will live on every time I play them… hopefully the company will live on as well. | |
| The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore Glad they are helping! Fortunately I’m ok at 67 with some HF loss, but I did research a bit and was told they all only boost mids as they are designed to improve speech intelligibility. Appears this may not be the case and they help for music | |
| Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8 @mr_m Doesn’t the Eversolo have I2s out? Pls let us know how that compares into your Pontus when you get a chance. | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? Some good suggestions but no Reggae? Really? Try Bob Marley - Kaya to start. A bit deeper would be Mighty Diamonds - Right Time and many others. Never get tired of these. Also seems a lot of focus on 70’s “stoner” music which is fine but the... | |
| Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer. There was a link posted elsewhere that said they bought the actual Mullard Blackburn tooling for the 12AX7, so if accurate they should be identical to those. NOS tubes. I’ll post the link if I can find it again. | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) @signaforce and others - just saw on Cullen’s site that he’s retiring and has sold the business to Wyred4Sound - not clear yet from their site which products they will continue. | |
| It’s time to upgrade my pre-amp Just researched the Elekit myself and most of their forums recommend running it without a preamp (contrary to the general consensus in other general threads here). As mentioned you don’t need gain so maybe a passive switch box is all you need? Eit... | |
| Speakers for a unique small room Agree with the suggestion to flip your setup 90 degrees; would also give some space behind your listening position. I just set up a small room and considered many of the above suggestions - went with Omega CAMs and a 24W EL34 integrated and an SV... | |
| Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways +1 Sonos for casual listening - surprisingly good especially at lower to mid volume. My cottage has several sets plus a semi-portable headphone system for more critical and solitary listening when I miss a higher definition setup At home my syst... | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? Another happy customer with the Node 2i w/LPS upgrade into Pontus II. Waiting for next gen streamers to come out with i2s output as it’s reportedly a better way to feed the DAC and don’t really want to have to add another box/DDC to get it… | |
| Experienced only: What have you done with room correction? @jeffseight i was pondering a low cost experiment with the DSpeaker system for about $300, but when I noticed the analog in/out I started thinking about the extra D/A conversion and decided for now to focus on room treatments, which is also what... | |
| Experienced only: What have you done with room correction? Thanks for the clear explanations! Didn’t realize all the possible executions. | |
| Experienced only: What have you done with room correction? Interesting discussion and the tech is tempting to try out. One question; doesn’t the DSP do it’s own A/D and D/A conversion? After spending a relatively large sum on a DAC, it seems counterproductive to have the signal reconverted twice more down... | |
| In praise of the duet. Watchhouse (formerly Mandolin Orange) - well recorded with superb playing and singing. Husband and wife duo, often with a band. | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? Agree with the prior posts to try them in your room with your equipment. However here’s my experience with Ohms. I briefly heard the F’s in the 70s and was impressed. Hadn’t thought much about it until recently when I heard Ohm was still around. ... |
