| 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 <$1000 but highly regarded single-tubed DAC to my otherwise pure SS system. 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 ... | |
| 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 ... | |
| Holographic imaging Tbg,I know I'm right in regards to reproducing what a person hears at a live performance. The way most recordings are miked, the geometry involved in detecting sound is different than that involved with human ears, I think that is a fact.A system ... | |
| Holographic imaging No recording will ever capture the same spatial cues and no system will ever present them to you equivalently as occurred when your ears registered them live. So I believe its a pipe dream to think that any system is doing this accurately. Given t... | |
| Holographic imaging SO will the H-cat gear be on display at the RMAF?Seems like that would greatly help present the case based at least on relative sonic merit if not technical details. | |
| Holographic imaging Carlos269,Very well said. Bravo! | |
| Need advice on formats for vinyl recordings Also, 24bit/192k loss less might be overkill for recording vinyl but try it and see if the sound justifies the data volumes. I'd be interested to hear you observations if you can share.I use a $600 Denon CD recorder to copy vinyl to recordable CD ... | |
| Need advice on formats for vinyl recordings I'm using Windows Media Player on a Vista laptop with the export media option on as a server and for ripping files. It comes with Windows, is lightning fast ripping (just a few minutes per CD) to loss less .wav or .wma lossless and sound quality i... | |
| Holographic imaging Roger,In the end, rhe proof is always in the hearing....Cheers! | |
| Holographic imaging Roger,Maybe, but I'm not trying to sell anybody anything so I'm the only one who has to live with my crap.Also, your innovation is a lot more expensive than my crap and what my crap does and how it does it is well documented by the vendors so you ... |
