| 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. ... | |
| Ohm speakers I have a pair of 4’s in West Bloomfield that you’re welcome to listen to. Upgrades are in order and should be in by August, although I hear they take a while to break in… send a private message if interested. | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! Was a wondering exactly what the last poster referred to - with all the concern about every aspect of our systems I would think the sound quality coming from even the best hearing aid would be a compromise- it’s another microphone, amplifier and t... | |
| The survival of the fittest. Some good insights here. As someone who’s been around ( lower) high end since the 70s I think it’s offering something unique (whether real or not) that makes a good story - previously thru reviews and dealers - now through word of mouth on the in... | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus ...what speakers do you love ? In response to the prior post regarding Ohms... I purchased my CMIII earlier this year when I was running LS50’s. Sounded great but small ... Stumbled across the threads about Ohms and had always wanted to given them a try. Next thing I know I fo... |
