| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... They are not expensive if still around and worth finding. I also have multiple Sennheiser phones that I use a Chord Mojo portable DAC/amp with. The little jeweled AT phones are very close...no special amp/dac needed. Then I also have grado sr80e p... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Mahgister here is something of a headphone miracle you might appreciate. I have a pair of these Audio Technica on-ear headphones. https://www.google.com/search?q=athfw33&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS603US603&hl=en-US&prmd=mvin&...I cannot belie... | |
| Pin point imaging isn't for everyone Sweating size of intruments in a recording is a noble effort but practically a waste of time since what you hear is more about how things were recorded than how big the intrument is/was. Not that practicality ever stands in the way of a dedicated... | |
| Pin point imaging isn't for everyone Ill go along with "precise" imaging. Just not "pinpoint". But if people use the term I know what they mean so not a problem practically, just not an appropriately descriptive term. | |
| Pin point imaging isn't for everyone Can’t say I’ve ever heard pinpoint imaging anywhere including with countless live performances or very good mega systems I’ve heard over the years. Realistic sounding imaging and soundstage, yes all the time, No problem. Any example of pinpoint i... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Some pictures of the miracles might go a long way towards convincing others that they are real. | |
| Pin point imaging isn't for everyone Can anyone even cite an example of "pinpoint" imaging with sound? Can' t say I have ever heard that. | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) Yep if I had the right space I would value owning these and do what it takes to nurse them to perfection. | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) High efficiency and load are of course two different things. Getting a good match is always critical but the speakers that will work well with the widest variety of amps are those with an easy load, like Daedulus and Fritz, not necessarily those t... | |
| Ohm "Tall "speakers: Overall 2000 responses on a thread from 2008 Misstl I also run a pair of OHMs off a Bel Canto c5i. Mine are Ohm 100s series 3 which is an 8" driver in vintage Walsh 2 cabinets. Very nice! | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Life as a whole is pretty much just one big gigantic freakin miracle and that goes double for recordings and hifi. | |
| Looks vs. Performance - How would you mix and match? How about a sansui 9090db or Pioneer sx 1280 receiver refitted with a good modern high current Class D amp? | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers If you keep an eye on the outlet store link on ohmspeakers.com vintage OHM models refurbed with new components regularly come up for sake there for about the same as original cost. Or if you contact OHM there may be others available not posted. Or... | |
| Ohm "Tall "speakers: Overall 2000 responses on a thread from 2008 The current xx00 line came out since 2008. John Strohbeen always describes the difference as "evolutionary but not revolutionary". I heard the current line at Cap Audiofest last year. Did not hear anything radically different from my models at ... | |
| What is your favorite High EFF speaker Not efficient but easy load not huge or bulky and amazingly one of best of show last year off a low watt headphone amp: Fritz Carerra. |
