| Holographic imaging I don't know if we're there yet categorically but I am of the opinion that there is no good technical reason I know of why it should be a big problem these days. My ears may not be the gold standard, but in general I am not hearing sound issues wi... | |
| Holographic imaging Pubul57,This is getting a bit off topic, but...What jitter sounds like, if present, and whether it matters to an extent that is significant is a very nebulous thing still to me.I think the only way to conclusively know how two different digital so... | |
| Holographic imaging "I totally agree with this, but didn't think that it could be done for under $1000."I'm not sure how much it must cost to get a particular sound, but I would say with certainty that $1000 spent on a good DAC that you can feed somehow from any dece... | |
| Holographic imaging "Not in my experience when using very good digital equipment; however, at the lower end of the price scale, say under #1000 per component, then analog tends to trump digital in almost every respect."I've found recently adding a I'm finding this to... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbe, for what its worth my wife has very high standards in home furnishing and has never complained about any Ohms I've had over the years in our living or sun rooms.I think size-wise, they will be more or less the same size as the Arros, ie ver... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mine are both refurbished units from Ohm. Fit and finish are fine if not exceptional...probably not in the same "fine furniture" league as say Dynaudio or Quad. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi, congrats, now you can listen and know for sure! That's the only way.From your description, I think the Ohms could well be your ticket....we'll see! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "fact that they ... convey weight"For larger scale ensemble recordings that require this, as well as rock/pop, I think this is where you would hear the biggest difference between Ohms and other speaks in the same price range, including Totem.They ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "They don't have that Hi-Fi, super detailed sound with images floating in space - it's more tactile than that."I've found adding a tube or two in the source or pre-amp section moves them towards this more so than SS.For optimal balanced sound, top... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? " the ohm's only trick(which is no trick at all...just using the room intead of fighting it) is the 'sweet spot'"That is a very good way of putting it. | |
| Digital Remastering: Last 5 years..... I have had positive experiences with many recently remastered CDs in general. In general, I would chose remastered over older versions when buying new. For CDs I already own, it's case by case whether what I own cuts it or not and whether or not t... | |
| Want to buy a high-end and excellent DAC, help plz I just added a separate The result is radically different sounding for the better I would say and more like some very high end tube systems I've heard, but I think the relative quality judgment on my part is to some significant extent a result of ... | |
| Holographic imaging "Don't think for a second that the system is going to sound like the hall- it isn't. It **can** sound, and very convincingly, like your listening room is grafted onto a space (which might be a hall) wherein the music is happening. "Another great p... | |
| Quad 12L at low volume Robr45,I did forget to mention that I was using the Titus 202s with a sub, which does make a big difference regarding a more complete sound. | |
| Quad 12L at low volume Don't underestimate the little Titus 202's ability to sound big, given proper amplification. On a vintage Tandberg TR2080 80w/side receiver I have owned, the little Titus' could hang easily with any larger speaker I've had concurrently, including ... |
