| Spooky speakers, buga buga "which monitor sounds damn close to real"Lots of monitors sound close, few sound the same, but none I've heard sound truly "real" for all types of music.Toss in a sub and a different story...lots sound pretty darn real.Magico Mini's were very conv... | |

| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Maril,Yes, it is a valid concern worth investigating. | |
| Best high end monitors? ATmasphere,You come up with the most interesting things!Thanks. | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound "If the capacity or resolution of CD is indeed inferior to the vinyl, there is no way that a CDR of vinyl will sound the same as vinyl. I think you have just proved the exact opposite."I haven't proven anything...just stating an observation.The sa... | |
| what to buy? so confused. Make sure you fine tune what you have before spending another dollar. | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Markpao,Best to minimize it as much as possible through better isolation, clamps etc., in that large driver excursions from noise can cause damage more easily than otherwise, and it consumes power to produce noise that might result in amp clipping... | |
| Review: Soundsmith SG-410 Strain Gauge Cartridge Cartridge "If like you say you have a high resolution system/room, IMHO you can hear RIAA deviations as small like 0.2-0.1 db, you can hear the coloration due to that small frequency deviation."How is this measured?

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Martykl,Cool!Thanks for stepping up to the plate.I anxiously await your report!Rebbe, though I've never heard the Unico, based on my experience so far with the tube DAC, pre-amp and SS amp, I think the hybrid integrated is a very good place to be ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Marcus001,I recently have introduced some tubes in my DAC and pre-amp to the Ohms and have been 100% rewarded so far.The Ohms have a difficult load to drive and are not ideal for tube power amps on paper, but I would love to hear about the results... | |
| Anyone here have experience with MIT cabling ? Alessandro1,Got it. Thanks! | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions " I think I'm leaning more toward living with it than putting something else into the signal path that might negatively impact the rest of the sonic spectrum"Sounds like a good approach.I know the positive attributes of vinyl and analog is worship... |
