| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Hey, just glad to hear you were not hurt! Obviously, that's the important thing.Not meant to be I suppose....maybe next year.I hope to do it one of these years. I love the Rocky Mountains and the audio show is just enough extra reason to go. | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? German Physiks often shows at these events, don't they?Not sure if anything really radically new there of late.OHM relies on word of mouth from existing customers mostly for sales and has never done a show to the best of my knowledge.Its the few u... | |
| Amp to drive Dynaudio C-1 Pass is a good choice. A good Class D like better Spectron and Bel Canto models is the other option I would consider. Bel Canto ref1000M monoblocks sound great with my lesser Dyns as they do with my much larger power and current hungry OHMs in a m... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Any Walsh style speakers showing at RMAF this year?Dale Harder's designs come to mind but there are others.Just curious how any Walsh designs are holding up at these events these days if showing. | |
| Make Internet Radio Sound "Better"? Adapters might be an inexpensive solution but are usually workarounds and not optimal. Try it and see. No guarantees.I have thick skin ( I hope) so you can yell at me if you want, but always a good idea to at least make sure you are yelling at the... | |

| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? having read about BAM but not actually heard, I suspect BAM can make a significant difference in extending the low end with the Merlins.I say this because the OHM speakers I use take a similar approach. The difference is OHM uses an inexpensive pa... | |

| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Rebbe, did you make it to the RMAF this year?If so good for you!Drop me an email and tell me about it some time. | |
| Actually difference between class A and AB? Newer Class Ds done well may be the emerging holy grail for most in terms of overall performance, efficiency, and cost of ownership. Maybe even just on performance alone, the rest aside. I am not a Class A/B fan anymore in general.Class A is good ... | |
| Make Internet Radio Sound "Better"? "Based on your advice I purchased a Stello 3 however the Squeezebox Transporter does NOT have a USB output to go into the Stello. Does this mean I wasted my money based on your advice or am I incorrect?"That device looks like it is designed to go ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? We all like our digital HD TVs, right?Someone explain to me how digital can seemingly do such a good and seemingly accurate job with video but much older and mature digital audio technology is incapable of doing the same with music? Timing? Pace, ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? What are the technical innovations that have made modern vinyl rigs better?I have no doubt there have been improvements in amplifier and speaker technology that would make the source sound better in general than prior but what about the source its... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? "OTOH vinyl has been improving dramatically over that same time. all levels of vinyl playback have improved. technology advances and market demand have pushed vinyl perfromance much higher due to the much higher potential of the format. there is s... |
