| How Science Got Sound Wrong How Science Got Sound Wrong Let me guess. People who know nothing about science trying to take over? | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification The music room has a used pair of BEl Canto ref1000m amps (the same as I use) listed for a very good price. Those PS audio amps cost a bit more but are newer. | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? Hiss and pops and clicks and other forms of tube and record noise are not white noise. | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Its easy to capture the element of surprise like listening to a good radio station with music streamers and music services these days. You even get to program your own "station" with just the things you might be interested in hearing. | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification @mlsstl I use the c5i with my Ohm 100s. Our two setups are very similar then. Other than absolute volume levels possible, it’s a very hard combo to beat. The sound reminds me a lot of eletrostatic speakers like Quad ESL but with better dynamics an... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification Hmm i heard the Rogie Pharoah running Magnepans at my dealer and it sounded wonderful. He carried full Audio Research and Rogue lines and liked the Pharoah best. | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification I can strongly recommend BelCanto c5i digital integrated amp with the Ohms. Only 60w/ch though so no concert level volumes perhaps. For a more powerful integrated amp, I really like the tube/Class D hybrid Rogue Pharoah or even its smaller brothe... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification Switching power supplies for Class D amps can be very compact circuit boards and need not be big and bulky like traditional amps. A good exsmple is BelCanto ref1000m amps that are the bomb with my Ohm Walsh speakers. They deliver up to 45 amps pea... | |
| Most Effective Tweaks Cup your hands behind your ears while listening and enjoy.It’s easy, it’s free..... it works! Anyone can do it right now!Best tweak ever. | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification You’ve gotten good advice from John Strohbeen.Yes they like power and current so throw as much of that at them as you can within your particular budget.Class D amps in general are a very good way to go.There is a calculator on the Ohm site to help... | |
| Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers? It's worth getting every detail possible out of every recording. How much it costs to do that is another story.The bottom line is these days, it need not cost much. The right pair of headphones with a common smartphone and good streaming software ... | |
| Seeking input on Larsen speakers I heard a pair briefly at Capital Audiofest last year. I liked what I heard. Their somewhat unique thing is they are omni-directional and I believe are designed to go directly up against the rear wall which may be just what the doctor ordered ... | |
| Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles? They all want: "good" sound. "Good" is subjective. So there you go.I wouldn’t waste to much time pining over the fact everyone has their own perception of what is "good" when it comes to sound. It’s largely a matter of opinion and preference.Proba... | |
| Best of compact audio systems Vanatoo Transparent One Encore speakers. Just add a source device which can be Bluetooth even and still sound fabulous. | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? People who care about things like that are called audiophiles. |
