| New York HiFi Show: Tubes and Turntables Interesting. The OHMs I have never break a sweat no matter how much power is thrown at them. More so than most any other speaker their size I’d say.Something was awry it sounds like but your guess what is as good as mine. I’ve never heard anything... | |
| New York Stereo show at Park Lane Hotel Do it if you want to offer up your findings and perhaps start some discussion. Don’t do it if you are worried about upsetting people.All else I can say is it will not bother me. Everyone has their own insights and opinions that some may find usefu... | |
| Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs? You are probably going to save some money with the Tektons versus Legacy. Also quite different aesthetics. Other than that, I think it would be a toss-up based on personal preference. It would be best to audition in home before committing if possi... | |
| New York HiFi Show: Tubes and Turntables Trelja,What was the problem? i was not there but most comments to date have been positive so just curious. What are you comparing to?It never surprises me that different people come away with totally different impressions of the same thing. ... | |

| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Proof is tough.Evidence always works. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I just ordered a Mogami mini stereo to dual RCA wire to connect a new Chord Mojo Portable DAC to my home system. Expecting good things! Cost way more than most sold to home users but not as much as many audiophile wires. I want quality and pe... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest I hit Classic audio room Saturday afternoon. They were playing a R2R of Tull Thick As a Brick I believe. The sound was very bright for some reason. Was hard to listen. Something was off I’m guessing in that I’ve heard their rooms at CAF several ti... | |
| New York HiFi Show: Tubes and Turntables Lots of bling at these shows. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I've read some similar positive comments on the OHM setup at the NY show on some other recent threads here.Yes I have always liked Electrocompaniet gear that I have heard. My phono step up transformer is an older Electrocompaniet unit that my d... | |
