| klipsch speakers,be honest They are good speakers like many others but different mainly more sensitive. Just feed and set them up right. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Not only that but fact is Amish kids love their high end car stereos in their barn. No joke. They bought them in the store I worked in back then all the time. Is Radio Shack high end enough? It is for Amish kids. While on the topic I gotta say tha... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Any old Amish recipe for oregano on pizza? http://www.amish365.com/the-amish-cook-gloria-talks-pizza/Looks delicious, very high end! Look at all those ingredients! Go completely wild and toss some oregano on there.To think Amish take pride in... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BTW,Totem Arro and OHM MWT are perhaps my two favorite floor standers of their size and price range that I know of. I could live with either but in the end I would probably live more contently with the MWTs because I am an omni kind of guy in g... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Pop quiz:How many "trolls" does it take to effectively banish the King Troll you know who? | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? The only real difference is that those 147 paid attention and thought about the subject. Children are born naturally curious to learn and stay that way if they are fortunate unlike our favorite child here, know-it-all GK, of course. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Glupson you should feel special GK likes to stalk, chat with and trash you. It means he likes you or maybe just that he thinks you are worth his trashing. It's a very special honor and you should be proud! If you stop he will miss you and w... | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? When I was about 6, there was a record player with no needle in my house. I took one of my Mom’s sewing needles, stuck it in there, played a record and voila, music! I believe the record I played was a recording of Ma Vlast on Somerset records ( P... | |
| Pieces of music that digital can't get right Every source device may require unique tweaks to get optimal results, whether in same or different systems. | |
| Linn Audio LP12 had been the defacto high end that many record lovers willing to pay more for something better coveted for many years and the benchmark for other later high end products to match or exceed.I’ve had my Linn Axis since 1986 and still loving it.... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? You might get by with Microwalsh talls, even smaller, more like Arro size I think.Call OHM and talk to John Strohbeen. See what he says.I use ohm 100s (slightly larger than 1000) in 12X12 rooms as close as 1 foot to walls to better effect than c... | |
| Do I need a sub woofer to match my ATC SCM11s My limited audition with passive ATC home monitors (SCM 19s?) at last year’s Capital Audio Fest also left me with the initial impression of sounding "thin" in comparison to other similar rooms there. It left me wanting another audition to get my a... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? BTW there is something to be said for the less obtrusive sound of soft clipping tube amps. Class D amps seem to commonly do that nice trick these days though as well. As do a handful of others.Hard versus soft clipping might be more relevant to h... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? I got 6 count em 6 tubes in my ARC pre-amp.This is as far as tubes got in my system.They sound very good and different but not better than my all digital Class D integrated amp in the other system that convinced me when it comes time for the next ... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? erik_squires,Very creative phrasing to restart the same old tube versus SS debate. :-)If modern digital streaming came first there surely would be no records. Tubes were a step along the way to where we are today. If a transistor looked like a tub... |
