| wyred4sound amps "pristine clarity"You have a way with words. That is a good description also based on my experience. | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Regarding the power requirements and tubes, there is no doubt they can get by for many in many cases with less power (I've used a 20 w/ch NAD 7020 in a crunch on occasion) and perhaps even tube power (haven't tried that but have heard of good resu... | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Cw,Good catch! I think Mick Jagger does qualify in this category.Though I would not consider his on-stage act to be particularly sophisticated, my understanding is he is an astute business person and thereby quite intelligent and maybe even sophis... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Tim,I agree with everything you said and what you said is quite thorough and accurate, I would say. Nice job!In that they have traditionally been fairly affordable to the masses, there are a lot of OHMs out there that have never been set up to rea... | |
| wyred4sound amps "pathologically smooth"I would say that is a reasonable description of the BelConto ref 1000m Icepower amps I use also. And I would mean it in a good way. | |
| What is the point of point source? don,i think live is different because instruments have actual location. with stereo sound reproduction, that is not the case. spatial cues captured in the recording process enable your ears to triangulate location. speakers that emulate a point so... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? I'm convinced the better Class D amps are those that pay special attention to the power source on-board. | |
| What is the point of point source? WHat Nik said + speakers that approximate a point source (coaxial or OHM CLS drivers, or even smaller two way designs with more closely mounted drivers for example) tend to have advantages in general in regards to phase coherence at typical listen... | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician I interpreted the post as asking about traits of the person, not of their music.So I did not include intelligent musicians that do not come across as sophisticated in general as people, even if I might think their music is sophisticated as a resul... | |
| Is this clipping? My opinion is in many cases it is totally consistent artistically with the kind of music being performed, if not necessarily teh result of teh artists vision.Most artists are not influential enough to control factors that affect the marketability ... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Rebbi,Should you hit that lottery, remember your friends.I could use an upgrade to newest Walsh 1000 series drivers myself!Or you can donate the funds to a good charity and I will understand. | |
| Best Amplification for B&W 802D If you want the best sound on a limited budget, go 2-channel for both audio and video. Less channels=less cost to do well and keep it that way. Downside is you loose all those cool surround effects in movies if those matter.I retain a 2 channel on... | |
| Best Amplification for B&W 802D If you can, go somewhere where you can hear your speakers in a setup first before buying.Or make sure you have a satisfaction guarantee with a clearly defined return policy.Yes, it "should" sound pretty good, but actual goodness is in the ear of t... | |
| I know this has probably been discussed... I agree with Elizabeth. Not about thrashing her, but that for teh most part teh technical difference, though they certainly exist do not really matter much. The purpose of having a hifi is to listen to music. Just do it.If it doesn't sound good, t... | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician "Kurt Cobain, he did redefine rock and roll."Not Courtney Love?She's been looking quite sophisticated of late.Just kidding. I am a Kurt Cobain fan but am kind of mad at him for not sticking around. |
