| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight Choosing a well constructed outlet is a most reasonable thing to do to me to assure that a good connection is made. I don't think it is any more complicated than that.Auditioning different outlets, well, maybe if one really cares to be a pioneer i... | |
| Why not horns? "There isn't much finished product for sale under $10,000, even used. "That likely helps account for limited interest. Why talk about the benefits of something that few can afford to do well? | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 2000 Speaker Wudai,glad things are working out. Yes, a little volume is called for during the process of breaking the OHMs in fully. People who buy OHMs that do not believe in break-in are way more likely to be disappointed. | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight "Auditioning an outlet" is a pretty funny concept when you think about it, even if there is some sonic signature attached somehow! | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight OK, but I am waiting for the scientific explanation for why they sound different. I honestly have no clue on this one. I am generally able to understand why most parts sound different and even why power conditioning might make a difference, depend... | |
| We Need An Audiophile TV Channel I used to listen to Audiophile Audition on wlrh in Huntsville Alabama on Sunday afternoons on occasion years ago and recorded a few tapes off it.Is it still around? | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight Do outlets really have well defined sonic attributes? | |
| Got $1000...how should I spend it? Jolida fx-10 tube integrated (new or used).Triangle Titus XS monitors (used)If you have a computer already you may still have money left for a mhdt Constantine DAC (used) as well.A refurbed vintage receiver or integrated is another good way to go. | |
| Why not horns? BTW, still no horns for me.I did not bid on the nearby Heresy's this past weekend mainly because my Triangle monitors are working out quite nicely in the sunroom at present so I was not motivated to pull the trigger to try something different. | |
| Why not horns? My observation with Walsh drivers like those in the OHMs is that they excel most on a good system with recordings that have a lot of mid-range energy. The large surface area of the Walsh driver available for conveying midrange compared to most oth... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Yes, also true that offloading bass to a separate powered sub provides potential for full range speakers to perform better in remaining range covered in many cases due to less demand on the speakers to cover a wider range and benefits now to ampli... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Two useful scenarios I see for using a powered sub:1) handle the low end with smaller monitor speakers that do not do much below 50 hz or so. 2) provide greater flexibility for dealing with room acoustics and how that affects the low end in partic... | |
| AudioQuest DBS Field I have them but cannot attribute any sonic differences to them. I have never done any a/b testing with dbs on and off so hard to say. The cables do work just fine with dbs normally on however. | |
| What of your CD's have good sonics? Most are good to excellent.None are un-listenable.Different CDs are recorded differently and have different sonic natures to them that you just have to accept. As long as the music comes through cleanly without audible distortions or colorations i... | |
| Why not horns? Al, those are some very beautiful horns both from the perspective of how they look and what they represent! |
