| Jethro Tull questions... i have a copy of one of the later cd issues i believe. i will rip it to music server give a fresh listen and report back. | |
| Jethro Tull questions... The DR databas site is very interesting, but I suspect the summary level measurements being done to quantify dynamic range alone are insufficient to determine the overall sound quality. | |
| Jethro Tull questions... take a look at this FWIW:http://www.dr.loudness-war.info/index.php?search_artist=tull&sort=dr&order=desc | |
| Suggest Speakers for Peachtree Nova OHM Walshes almost always sound fuller with dedicated amps that generally deliver more current, but I would have to think 80w/ch in general should do a decent job.I've run larger OHM Walshes off an 80w/ch Tandberg receiver in the past in a much la... | |
| Question about a music server I started my music server about a year ago. I seldom use my CD player anymore. I usually take time to rip a CD to disk first prior to listening. Sometimes, I'll just carve out a chunk of time (often while listening to my system concurrently) and u... | |
| High Current SS amps with input impedance = 200K I've continued to research amp options for my system since my last postings here.The bigger Class Ds that specifically address input impedance matching with tube pre-amps in general are still at the top of my list as a result of cost effectiveness... | |
| Can tube rolling change bass? Yes but first dialing speakers in to room, amp to speakers, and pre to power amp ( especially with some tube pre-amps in regards to pre-amp output to amp input impedance)is important. Once this is all right, then tube rolling can be an effective t... | |
| Suggest Speakers for Peachtree Nova Another floorstander to consider along with monitors (no separate stands needed) is the OHm Acoustics Micro Walsh tall (MWT). | |
| Are you ever satisfied? "I love the way my stereo sounds and if I could never do another thing to upgrade it I could listen happily the rest of my life. But I do enjoy tweaking it, working on it, and finding ways to improve the sound."Nicely said. I'm with you. | |

| Blues from the 50s/60s/70s I saw Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown at the Rams Head Tavern in Annapolis, MD yesterday.What a treat and what a fabulous venue! This was the second concert I have caught there recently, The Church being the other. We were one table back, dead center... | |

| How do you chose speakers based on room size? Audiokinesis,The smaller OHMs can work surprisingly well just a foot or two out from the rear and side wall in that acoustic dampening material is used inside the can in the wall facing directions to lower output and enable closer placement to wal... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "I'm at a loss to describe exactly what has improved in moving to the new amplification. The music seems more "alive," in general. Instrumental textures are more palpable, individual instruments have more "air" around them"From this description, I... |
