| What is my next step to a better sound ? Useless to discuss changing anything until you say what you think the current deficiencies in the sound are and what you are wanting to hear that you do not currently.Have the people indicating the DAC is the problem actually heard it? I have not,... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables The only thing to keep in mind with DNM is that they are not shielded and I have found can pick up RF noise, for example if used with switching amps, in some cases more easily than typical shielded designs.Other than that, they are golden. | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Not obsolete in the sense of no longer having any real value or merit, as is the case say with typewriters since the advent of the home computer, but certainly of limited interest to most compared to the latest and greatest gadgets available that ... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Shadorne,I'm a Jim Capaldi fan also and love the albums of his I have.I'll have to look that one up!His excellent solo recordings have really been overlooked over time it seems.Electric Nights is my favorite but perhaps largely because I know it b... | |
| Amplifier advice from Ohm Walsh 100 Mk. II owners I picked up a second hand pair of tad hibachi 2 amps that should arrive week.I'm trying them out as an upgrade in my second system driving a pair of Triangle Titus XS along with the sub. I'm expecting good things there. Not planning to use them wi... | |
| A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers Of course no system is really high end and all that unless it's got the balls needed to destroy the house, right? | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... I will say that I never found Carver sonic holography specifically to work effectively with the OHMs compared to others.Sonic holography was more of a spatial processing function, so in that case perhaps omnis might react differently than others. ... | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Soniqmike got it right.The only problem with internet radio for most is the possibility of giving up looking for the gems because of too many choices and limited time, much like what many experience with 100s of cable or satellite TV channels toda... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? I'm not ready to write of long time commercial success for any of these three quite yet.Scotty may be the perfect storm in terms of name recognition (resulting from "Idol"), talent, niche, and commercial appeal for the country music genre. And he'... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... I do not see any unique issues in general using signal processing technologies like those from Audessey with OHMs or omnis specifically compared to other designs.I see some of their technologies are commonly embedded in other commercially availabl... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? How about Haley throw caution to the wind if she makes it to next week and do Clarkson's "My Life Would S--- Without You".I bet she would kill it! | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Haley is a fighter and is the remaining one who has improved the most during the season.Kelly Clarkson is the only Idol winner I have taken to to any great degree over the years and Haley is not too far removed from KC.I will not object to whoever... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Artistically, Haley is in the zone I relate to best but practically I think she will have a tough time beating out the other two who are more mainstream. We'll see...I enjoyed all the performances last night and think all three are worthy of stardom. | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? Original Harmony vinyl copy of this I picked up for 25 cents used:Mitch Memories | |
| A "Unique" Voice... Linda Perry of "4 Non Blondes" fame. |
