So that record must have been totally awesome! HE even cleaned the old copies for God’s sake. Well done!Seriously t... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? https://ohmspeaker.com/technology/#coherent-line-source-driverCheck out the dispersion pattern on the CLS driver. Huge sweet area! Can also fit in most any room even close to walls. | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? Well get a pair of Ohm Walsh then and be done with it. No need to fret on endlessly about this one.Or mbl. Or German Physiks. Those will set you back financially a good bit more though. | |
| Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality? Well KEF literature on the product or Uni-Q certainly makes little or no explicit claim regarding coherency and the crossover is not simple. But the Uni-q is essentially a point source driver so there is that.I guess its reviews where I’ve read re... | |
| Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality? Well here is the published skinny:https://ohmspeaker.com/technology/#coherent-line-source-driverSays they are “coherent” ie Coherent Line Source. All I can add is they both look and sound coherent to me. I also have kef ls50 metas. Those look and ... | |

Poor man’s very effective manual record cleaning process: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/record-playing-rituals/post?highlight=Shaklee&postid=3046...Any good quality record cleaning solution will do but must use distilled water and som... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! It’s not going to be a fair comparison between a newly cleaned record in good shape and older ones that have never been cleaned? Maybe a record cleaning machine is a good investment before spending hundreds on another copy of the same record? Or ... | |
| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy 8 gb of memory and most any modern cpu will do the job just fine at least for cd resolution audio streaming. | |
| Are you troubled by the imaging of a symphony orchestra? No. | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! How do the grooves look compared to your other copies? | |
| Open House With Audio Components Nothing good will come of leaving it out for anyone. Pack it away and out of sight. Unless you are looking to sell it with the house. | |
| What is it you expect to hear from hifi gear that you have not yet? I am still mostly using Squeezebox Touch as my streamer with Ipeng controller app on Iphone. Wonderful device still, still sounds great and lots of functionality especially with add-ons to Logitech Media Server. DAC has also been mhdt Constantine ... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound Live like sound is always what what I find most satisfying. The more live like the better. It’s why it seems no conventional speaker can ever wean me off Ohm Walsh “Omni” speakers. Everything sounds live to some extent, not like a studio recordi... | |
| What is it you expect to hear from hifi gear that you have not yet? Interesting. But I’m not really interested in mega buck audio servers. What about just a streamer? | |
| Replacing Bel Canto S300 blown ASC200 module Yes stock older icepower in that TTBOMK. Make sure you get the right Icepower board.If you can’t do it yourself worth a call to Bel Canto to at least determine if repair cost worth it. They did work on one of my ref1000m Class D amps several year... |
