| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? Pretty incredible that beautiful Bach Cantata was written almost 300 years ago. | |
| Please help with Ohm MWT sound/system issues Can you confirm the tweeter orientation? Typical configuration is angled in 45 degrees with logos facing forward. But other custom configurations including facing upward are possible. If so angling out for more direct teeeter exposure at your lis... | |
| Tell me about my new (to me) Pioneer SX-5570. It’s a beauty from the heyday of Pioneer receivers in the late 1970s and it sounds like your sister is a jewel as well. | |
| Paul McCartney 3 I gave it a whirl on Spotify yesterday. It didn’t grab me. I probably expect too much. | |
| What did you make for Christmas? Whoopee. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Ohm Walsh versus KEF ls50 Metas (with Klipsch sw308 powered sub):Anyone who reads my posts knows I am a big Ohm Walsh speaker fan. I currently have two pair: 8” series 3 drivers in the family room two channel A/V system on second level and big Ohm... | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection @douglas_schroeder Looking forward to more on how they sound. | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. I like smaller and unobtrusive. Bel canto designs are nice looking and unobtrusive. Ohm Walsh speakers the same. | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" 78s playing on a 1920’s Victrola also has a kind of magic to it. Mostly nostalgic. I have converted 78s to digital. Sounds the same, but something is missing....can’t quite figure out what it is. | |
| Paul McCartney 3 Will always give Sir Paul a shot but yes his voice ain’t what it used to be of late. I saw him live at FedEx Field with seats in the sweet spot a few years back. He had a good night vocally that night. But some bootlegs I’ve heard from other shows... | |
| I was not enjoying the performance until I ...... No self respecting audiophile would ever use EQ. Assaulting the room with treatments is much more fun and intrusive.DSP: that’s right out! | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Vinyl is a 100 year plus old flawed technology. People spend a fortune trying to address the flaws and still can never win because all records have flaws it’s just a matter of how many and how much.The packaging is better than ever though for thos... | |
| Tube imperfections I would just try the tube and see how it sounds and go from there. I had a mhdt Paradisea for awhile. The tube used made a big difference in the sound. The stock GE tube provided was a tad too warm and fuzzy for me. Not expensive to try differen... | |
| Can speakers cause mental illness? Kenjit talks about speakers a lot. Obsessed with them even. Maybe that’s all it takes. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Next topic I plan to cover when I get a chance is comparing the ls50 Meta/sub setup in one room (12X12) with the big Ohm 5 setup in the adjacent room (3-4 times as big, L shaped). Both run off same gear concurrently so this will be a fair compari... |
