| The focus and air lie Lots of music lovers have only radios or boom boxes often because that is the best they can afford, especially in lesser developed countries (though the gap is rapidly closing).It would be a bit condescending to suggest that they do not or cannot ... | |
| The focus and air lie "Walk outside your house at 3am and listen to the birds chirping. One is three feet away and the other is thirty feet away. Ten more are in between. How do you tell they are separated? What is between them? How many terms does it take? "I like thi... | |
| The focus and air lie "That's a shame because a hifi system should be able to trasmit music soul even on bad recording.In 2008 this is a very rare quality."Maybe our technology these days is just too resolving and revealing and we don't like what we hear as much as a r... | |
| Holographic imaging Unsound,I've heard Ohm CLSs outdoors and they sound best, very close to lifelike, with just a single wall behind them. They also tend to like larger rooms in order to have sufficient "room to breathe".True omni's should not be placed close to wall... | |

| Latest Stereophile - Recommended Components "The mag is OK to read for (some) entertainment value but they basically recommend just about everything they review. "Yes, because for the most part it is all good stuff based on the merits of each piece alone, so why not recommend it?How effecti... | |
| The focus and air lie "On second thoughts I guess I must add that I probably listen very differently from most people. I listen to recordings and concentrate on a particular individual instrument and then play it again listening to another"Shadorne, I tend to focus mor... | |
| Heaver grade vinyl vs Standard "The software actualy on the market is much inferior than on golden era of vinyl, even with the best mastering facilities."Well, you said it...the golden age of vinyl is past and gone.If you don't have a lot of records already, buy a half decent C... | |
| Heaver grade vinyl vs Standard Heavier weight means the record should be more durable and be less susceptible to warping over time. Heavier weight is probably a general indicator of a higher quality product, but assuming no warping otherwise, sound quality will be determined mo... | |

| Help with Low Level hum in phono One other thing of note is that I believe the inductance issue the amp was creating with the pre-amp due to being stacked directly on top was affecting the sound negatively with all sources, not just phono, which is where it was most evident by th... | |
