| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Ok M but The op asked about novelty and change. Not about a higher level of acoustic experience. | |
| ORANGE Fuse rejected Par for a fuse thread. | |
| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? The simple answer to the ops question is of course a simple “yes”. Funny how people cannot even agree on something as basic as that. Oh well. Carry on. It is what it is. Hifi fans are indeed an opinionated bunch. | |
| Small form factor integrateds Check out Fosi amps on Amazon perhaps before automatically dropping more $$$s. Little to lose. I have one in one of my systems and it is a big time overperformer for the price. Drives kef ls50s nicely which is not a particularly easy task and ... | |
| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Fun? I’m not reading where that is part of the audiophile equation. I might have to reconsider my choices of hobby. Or at least come up with some new name for it when fun is a thing.🧐 | |
| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Ok if you say so. | |
| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Perhaps but the biggest trick in getting good sound is always how one applies the room. No two ever sound exactly the same. Variety is the spice of life. Nothing wrong with a little “novelty and change”. | |

But there is only one best sounding system, though a second is arguably pretty close. It does give me 6 different “labs” to experiment with and build an... | |
| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Rotation or even better more than one system and music in multiple rooms. | |
| List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey. Ohm Walsh speakers. Nothing else like them. Class D amps. Finally able to afford and accommodate taking things to the max. | |
| Speaker Road Trip Tough decision! No right answer. Speaker choice is a very personal thing. | |
| List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey. Well it’s not very proper to ask a question then try to censure people whose opinions may not line up. Nor very constructive. | |
| Ohm Walsh speakers in the 21st century Regarding amps, They are not hard to drive but they like beefy amps capable of delivering lots of current for best performance. They are sold direct from factory in Brooklyn NY in the US since ~ the 1990s. Used to be sold via dealers prior. ... | |
| Ohm Walsh speakers in the 21st century All the Walsh models since inception around 1981 or so have separate tweeter and are damped in the wall facing direction by default. Can be customized. Original Ohm A and F were a different beast with a single full range driver and full Omni. | |
| Why have capacitors improved so much over the years? If they have, and I wouldn’t doubt that they have, it is likely due to more precise computer aided design and robotic manufacture. |
