| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker "I think the series 3 will sound better than the fist generation one."I can say from experience that series 3 100 drivers in Walsh 2 cabinets far exceeded the original Walsh 2s in regards to overall refinement and detail in all regards.now there a... | |
| Audio Research Preamp Experts? Impedance matching between components from source through amp is the main technical spec that can be used to determine likely better matches producing better dynamics, lower distortion, etc.. 10:1 ratio or higher of input impedance to output imped... | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt 'Do you remember where you were that day?"I was only 4 years old but clearly remember watching the events unfold that weekend while playing on the floor at home in front of the old B&W TV (remember them?). It was truly a big deal unmatched in ... | |

| SS apm for Totem Mani -2 I heard them recently off very good Mac SS amplification. Very nice, detailed musical with nice soundstage and imaging, but a tad edgy sounding for my tastes, which surprised me a bit with the mac amp.I'd like to hear them running off a Wyred st-1... | |

| Audio Research Preamp Experts? True that match to amp is a huge factor and very important to address up front.Not just any SS amp will do. Same true of most tube pre-amps, not just ARC. | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt "With the so called "innocence" of those decades there was also some terrible things going on. "My wife is a 50's nostalgia lover (me too) and I often point out that a lot of the same stuff went on back then, but fewer people knew about it. No int... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound.....Anyone????? They are worth trying in many cases before jumping straight to more expensive monster SS amps.Tube amp lovers will be less impressed I suspect but probably not any less than they might be with a big expensive monster ss amp, at least based on soun... | |
| Audio Research Preamp Experts? "clarity, lower noise and greater dynamics of today's line stages'Clarity, low or no noise, and excellent dynamics accurately describes my sp16.Not an ARC guru but I would be surprised if older models had all these attributes to the same extent. I... | |

| Replacing Nano with iPod for Best Sound I have trouble telling the difference between good mp3s and other sources on any of my systems, at least for the pop/rock types of tunes I occasionally buy in mp3. These are typically not audiophile level recordings however.Never compared on earbu... | |
| Last time you felt that "tingling" sensation? last Sunday listening to "seventh Sojourn" by The Moody BLues on my OHM 100s3s as soon as Mike Pinder's Chamberlin kicked in on the opening track (Lost in a Lost World)and throughout the disc when Justin Hayward regularly delivered exactly the rig... | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt There are still a few drive-ins around!I'm older than many but I can assure that most dirt is a lot older than me. | |
| Replacing Nano with iPod for Best Sound I doubt you'll hear any difference using loss less on any ipod.There is a reason why these devices are built around .mp3 and compressed formats. ITs because there is no advantage in storing and manipulating huge data files with these devices, even... |
