| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? MikeL,I like your assessment and the mirror analogy.Its a matter of degree though. You could say that the record is made of individual molecules but they fit together perfectly and occur at a scale that makes it insignificant. Similar with digital... | |
| What does mist racking actually sound like? Elizabeth, you are a hoot and make me laugh!:-) | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? "I would say vinyl still has the edge. Through the whole process, it also keeps it in the same mechanical vibration format it started out in, and is reproduced by the speakers in that manner, the same as we hear."I used to think that but having he... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? "Interesting question, Mapman, but I don't think that it has an answer. Since there are a great many ways in which each medium and its reproduction can be inaccurate, how does one weight each of those ways relative to the others, and tally up a ne... | |
| What does mist racking actually sound like? Darn, I thought someone actually came up with some new audio topic that I had not heard of before.Mistracking usually results in some combination of audible distortion and/or superfluous surface noise as the stylus tracks the record. | |

The tight seal may take some time to get used to but I have no problem falling asleep with these in th... | |

| Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound "What is the "Magico Concept"No holds barred build quality and associated cost is what I see.You would have to be crazy to spend that kind of money based on others impressions. All that matters is how something sounds to you or even just whetehr y... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Agoner Foster_9 would be a good one to email for feedback on OHM versus Mirage. He has Mirage currently I believe and dabbled with OHMs for a while also.Both have omni dispersion patterns to an extent for a larger than normal sweet spot but signif... | |
