| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced http://hephaestusaudio.com/forge/hma-harpocrates/I like these. Plenty of solid power for my Ohm 5000 speakers. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Hi Mapman,I listen almost exclusively to classical music - everything from 44.1, 88.2, 96, 176, 192 and a few DSD. I will say that a poorly recorded, compressed mess still sounds that way, but that may change when I get the Hephas or so I read in ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The LH replaced a Mapleshade Clearlink II Plus (now in it's 3rd iteration). The thing about usb cables - there are a zillion of them out there, but the LH has had so many positive raves, I just had to try it. As you can tell, I am not disappointed... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Appears not many folk left at this thread, but I'll throw this out there.1. A pair of Hephaestus Harpoctrates amps on order.2. Installed a Light Harmonic Lightspeed USB cable (yes, the $999 one) between my Mac Mini and Wyred-4-Sound Dac 2 DSDse. A... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks Mapman,I'll try to contact him.I'm on temporary hold tip I get my refund from Peachtree. I bought the Grand Integrated on sale but sent it back. The thought of combining was so tempting. Get rid of some wires and boxes - simplify, etc. But.... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm about to pull the trigger on Hephaestus Harpocrates amps to feed my Ohm 5000s. Anyone heard this amp? http://hephaestusaudio.com/forge/hma-harpocrates/ | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks Martykl.I think step one will be upgrade power amp(s). Then see (rather hear) where to go from there.Regarding EQ, I am using Amarra w/iRC. I calibrated closely following their instructions but did not care for what it did to the upper rang... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Hi Mapman,I have been many times to organ recitals where 32-ft pipes were in play. The impact of hearing such bass I find to be very satisfying - "awesome" in the true sense of the word. It is that completeness that I wish to attain. I figure 16Hz... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 32-ft pipe = 16Hz. Not that uncommon in large organs. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Yeah amps AND subs - anyone like to contribute the $$ to make this all happen?! 8-)Oh my, this will take awhile. -Al | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? MartyklWhen a crescendo builds, the louder it becomes, the more constricted the sound. Cymbal crashes are less natural, although live cymbal crashes have always been mostly uncontrolled noise by nature. (Thinking back to high school band days here... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I listen almost exclusively to "classical" music - chamber, piano, choral on up to large-scale works and organ (which to me is also large-scale). My 5000's sound fine on the first three. Really fine. On the large-scale, they leave much to be desir... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? My level of dissatisfaction with iRC is not great. I tried a DSPeaker Anti-Mode when they first came out. I could not detect a significant improvement so I returned the unit. Add that experience to this one and I have sort of concluded that my spa... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks for your suggestions, W. I believe I will follow your advice in the last line.Re Amarra/iRC:Did you get the setup on the first try? Was SQ immediately an obvious improvement? Did you experience any sparkle missing? I have no knowledge of an... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Are Ohms less capable of true imaging than non-omni types? |
