| Listen...chair Fact is the chair is part of the room and everything in the room affects acoustics and sound.How much the chair will matter in practice will of course vary. In many cases probably not to any noticeable extent.However if teh chair is tall and direc... | |
| Looking for recommendations - vintage amp & preamp to go with Ohm Walsh 2's What is your budget currently? Do you care about phono?These are original Walsh 2s from teh 80s as I understand it.I would first plan to do the upgrade or arrange with Johm Strohbeen at OHM to do a trade-in. Whatever works best.Upgrading original ... | |

| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... My crystal ball is broken today. | |
| Looking for recommendations - vintage amp & preamp to go with Ohm Walsh 2's Cd how big of a room, what kind of music do you listen to and how loud?Also cd or records for source and what do you have currently there? | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? Mb1 you can adjust or not to personal preference but I was talking about flat response to 20 hz. If response is flat level will be heard as lower. A boost is needed to make it sound flat. Check out the audio frequency spectrum chart that show... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? Ok fine you can do it with a subwoofer and adjust it as needed flat or otherwise. So can anyone else. It's a perfectly fine way to do it. Your original assertion is still not correct though. | |
| Class D Technology I had a fellow agoner over to listen to my gear a while back. He is a fan of David Berning ZOTL amps. I heard these at CAF last summer and liked those very much as well. He indicated he really liked my setup running off the C5i which is latest and... | |
| Class D Technology BTW has anyone ever noticed a reviewer complain about phase shift when reviewing gear at a show? They can find all kinds of faults but seldom if ever that. Are they not listening right or is it just not there? Gotta wonder..... It is a little of ... | |
| Now it's subs Room acoustics are key always. With subs the first thing to get a handle on is interaction with lively floors that often muddies bass and obscures detail. Auralex subdude platforms or something similar does the trick nicely when needed. | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? bo,Human ears do not hear it as such in that ear frequency response drops off at its extremes (remember loudness buttons and equalizers?) but if everything in the system needed is up to snuff to do it absolutely no doubt it does.Ears have less iss... | |
| Class D Technology Al, thanks for that.I was aware of the phase shift concerns and recall looking at measurements and reviews prior to buying to get a feel for what is going on. Knowing no gear measures perfectly in all regards I decided to give it a try and was g... | |
| Class D Technology shibui,Sounds to me like you pretty much nailed it in all regards based on actual experience seeking the best sound possible with some of the most challenging speakers to drive well ever.That a Class D design can even compete in that arena says al... | |
| Class D Technology Also what is the math relationship between bandwidth and phase shift? Where does 10X bandwith number come from? is there something akin to Nyquist that is used to determine this? Did the engineers making high end Class D amps miss the boat on this... | |
| Class D Technology Assuming nothing is there to start with isn't a phase shift of 0 = 0?I did not know vinyl has frequency bandwidth so high. Most home hifi always talked of 20-20K frequency response. Is this in practice or theoretical? I'd agree theoretica... |
