| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Going to an integrated amp does not mean sound quality goes backwards. It may or may not and a lot of it is highly subjective. Like with pretty much everything. You have to try it to know. Buy from vendors with good return policy and there is lit... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Not if you go about it in a smart and cost conscience manner and filter out the hype. As an experiment, I just successfully replaced gear that sold for 9k about 12 years ago with a new unit that cost only 3K. Just be aware of all the options out... | |
| Is it worth upgrading my current turntable setup? Probably not. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Yes, after jumping all in several years back now working on “right sizing” moving forward. I just replaced amps, preamp dac and streamer with an all-on-1: Cambridge Evo 150. Working out very well! See my system pics. Full review coming soon. The ... | |

| Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought) Agree the adjustability of my larger Ohm F5s make all the difference to get best results I most any room. Mine are series 3 from ~ 2008 and the newer drivers are mounted in older refurbed Ohm F cabinets. See my system pics here : https://syste... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought) Still have not found anything better or more affordable than ohms setup and driven well for pure musical enjoyment. | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought) Just to be clear there are 5 generations of Ohm “Walsh” speakers Original ohm F and A 1st gen Ohm “Walsh” line ie walsh 2, 4, 5 These first two versions were sold in stores onto the early 90s I believe 2nd gen Ohm Walsh X00 models and oh... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought) The ohms sold Direct only since mid nineties are versions 2 3 and now 4. Originals sold prior via stores were not as refined. Modern day ohm Walsh stack up well in all regards sound wise. Originals not as much. They are controlled wide dispersion ... | |
