| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? a point source (Tannoy, Shindo, Duevel, Fostex) creates much better integration of direct and indirect sound as well as a larger sweet spot The other speakers I own and enjoy besides my two pair of Ohm Walsh are KEF ls50 (originals and metas). T... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? Yes, indeed, though the Ohm Walsh crowd seems to be OK with this. Maybe because some were only omni’s up to a point?

| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Personally, I have yet to shell out $30 bucks for any new vinyl release. So I’m not likely to shell out even more for an old one. But that is just me. I wish all my records could be magically and instantly converted to CD res FLAC and streamed. I’... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Thanks Glupson for that nice, detailed, balanced review.That is about as close as I’ve ever heard Glupson gush about anything hifi!

| 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 ... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! 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. | |

| 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 ... |
