| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I've managed to get both pair of OHMs tuned into their respective rooms pretty well and to my satisfaction without having to add any special room treatments. One thing I have to add is that the last thing I felt my system was coming up just a tad ... | |
| Audiophile Record Labels Yes, Rhino is generally very good.I've also been pleasantly surprised with overall quality of various classical vinyl titles I have encountered on the Musical Heritage Society label. | |
| tubed dac paired to tubed preamp, worth it? No single answer...it depends.In my case I started with a tube DAC and then added the tube pre-amp and have since used both tube and SS dacs with good results. The difference will be more in the specific sound you are looking for rather than the D... | |

| 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... | |
