| Squeezebox Mods Effective On Digital Output? What DAC do you use?My first thought is to look at that first.Jitter reduction device second. Some DACs may accomplish that for you.I'd only do mods to the SB after all else fails, but I suspect it should not have to come to this. | |

| Sibilance in recordings: your experience the same? I have zero tolerance for artificially produced sibilance in my system.In almost all instances I've had sibilance issues over the years, it was related to either poorly configured phono setup or worn stylii on cartridges (these do need to be repla... | |
| Wi-Fi Limitations and Sample rates...16/44.1 Prpixel,I do know the difference between the two but not the details of which MS software does what when, so that is helpful.I only recall reading that it was an issue with the older versions of Windows in general but not XP.Since it is very diffi... | |
| Wi-Fi Limitations and Sample rates...16/44.1 2chnlben,It is possible that software on your PC source could reduce the sample rate even though the router is not an issue.For example, I have read (unconfirmed) that some older (pre Vista) versions of Windows may reduce sample rates implicitly i... | |
| Are Ohm Walsh Speakers the Poor Man's MBLs? Marty, I do think the omni sound radiation pattern is a key for image depth and acoustic dampening of the Walsh CLS driver in the wall facing directions would tend to limit this somewhat compared to what I heard with mbl.Maybe John Strohbeen is ou... | |
| Are Ohm Walsh Speakers the Poor Man's MBLs? Marty,Just curious, no need to create work for experimentation, especially with a holiday weekend coming up!After hearing the mbls, I did do some experimentation with my F-5s to try to reproduce the front to back imaging I heard with the mbl 111s.... | |
| Which James Bond Theme Recording Rockadanny,That sounds awesome!Gotta look that one up.Love the Rev. HH and the Hammond organ! | |
| The Great Speaker Quest BTW, in case you are not aware, don't let the small size of Totem Arros fool you. Those baby's seem thrive on lots of good SS juice! If you were not providing that when you had or heard them, they might not have put on their best face.Same with th... | |
| Are Ohm Walsh Speakers the Poor Man's MBLs? Marty,Have you tried listening near field with the 100s?I have found I am able to percieve front to back soundstage better and more in line with what I heard with mbl listening just a couple feet or so in front of the speaks as opposed to my norma... | |
| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? Agree with TVAD.You've had some good speaks. Sounds like maybe they were not matched to amp well or there was some other poor synergy going on. | |
| Wi-Fi Limitations and Sample rates...16/44.1 Also routers only route and do not implement algorithms for down sampling data streams so if you are hearing the music play without dropouts, you are most likely getting all the bits delivered that should be. | |
| The Great Speaker Quest Totem and Dyn, two of my favs also!What is the rest of the system and how big is the room? | |
| Are Ohm Walsh Speakers the Poor Man's MBLs? "So the tweeter being limited has only the benefit of increasing placement options. "I believe increasing placement options for most users is the intent of OHMs design decision to attenuate the omni sound levels in wall facing directions. The twee... | |
| Are Ohm Walsh Speakers the Poor Man's MBLs? Very good questions!"(I)t seems that a lot of Omnis do no(t) limit the tweeter (Deuvel and Morrison come to mind) . ""Does limiting the tweeter from being full omni help the coherence but hurt the imaging? "No. I think coherence is mostly due to s... |
