| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thx for the feedback. It might be time to check out class d more deeply. The idea of a tube are or buffer with it is conceptually intriguing. I was looking at various Rogue integrateds awhile back but got scared off over reports on quality being v... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? All this discussion about Class D makes me wonder how many of the Ohm owners on this site are running those kinds of amps and if so what? I havent heard a lot, just W4S and Wadia and I wasn't taken with either. The Wyred was 4 or so years ago and ... | |
| Modern integrated vs. vintage...what do I get? OK, the update on this was that I was able to get some listening in tho not enough. Heard ayre cx5 integrated? About $3500. Nice but I was told it was best tthru balanced ICS. It was with Wilson speakers...fabulous but not in my range speaker wise... | |
| Review: Yamaha A S-2000 Amplifier For those of you who have Yam as1000\2000 integrated amp are you still loving them? Looking to get an integrated for a second system and curious if the good experiences have held up as to both sound and reliability? Key criteria... Would you buy a... | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? I will be watching this with interest. I had been planning to get a Rogue Cronus Magnum direct from the company. Living in HI, I have no dealer and have been unable to hear the unit. I was going on rep and reviews. But the last thing I want to fac... | |
| Preamp recommendations for under $600.00 Get an Acurus L10 or R11. These are known as good quality pres that have good mil spec components and can be upgraded easily and with great return on investment. Mine cost me $250 used. Do a Google search and you will find reviews on them and that... | |
| What great speakers can buy direct? Kef seems to if you have no local dealer. I would guess in today's age of declining physical stores and increasing web commerce many do...though you might have to email them for confirmation. It is a tricky thing as physical dealers look for suppo... | |
| Modern integrated vs. vintage...what do I get? Will be in the Destin area of FL then New Orleans. Will try to find some places to listen while there. | |
| Modern integrated vs. vintage...what do I get? Thx for all the responses and questions. Yes, looking back at what I wrote there is some contradiction. Its more a matter of form. I started out with the idea a while back that I wanted to try out tubes...which led me to the Rogue. However, home i... | |
| Good speaker to pair with MA5100? I ran Ohm Walsh 2-100s3 speakers with my MA5100 for 6 months plus. It worked pretty well. You might check out the Ohm Micro Walsh thread here. The speakers should be a lighter load on the 5100. I love Ohms and have had various models. They tend to... | |
| Modern integrated vs. vintage...what do I get? Thanks for the responses so far. I probably wasnt very clear...reading my submission back. What I am trying to really understand is the performance gain from modern equipment? I have read lots of stuff online and I think its mainly more clarity, s... | |
| KEF LS50 Looking at buying ls50. ? I have is whether they will sound good on a shelf? Wife is not thrilled about stands. OK with them being on the console/rack where the hardware is. I knownits not ideal but anyone else deviated from the ideal? I had my Sp... | |
| how to fix ground loop him? Thx for all the suggestions. It will have to wait for a day when the back is cooperating and I can get behind the rack. My wife keeps saying its time to simplify the setup...sadly she may be right. | |
| Yamaha Amp Nostalgia Funny I was just given a whole bunch of Yam gear by a neighbor who had it left behind but a friend who left the state. 2 M70 amps, C70 pre, CD, tuner, TT, ICS etc. Put the pre in my rack with my McIntosh MC250 for a nice vintage vibe. Its better t... | |
| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 I have a Sony ES5400 SACD. It sounds fantastic on SACD and very good on red book cd. I play it straight through my Acurus Rll preamp. I also have a Cambridge Audio 740 and have run the 5400 through that outboard dac capability. To my ears it was a... |
