| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Unfortunately, I think I know the answer...... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BTW, after thinking about orchestral music and Zappa, I had to give this one a listen. Its a very 'audiophile" recording I would say if one has ever heard a good version on a good hifi. Always makes me smile and get my feet tapping :^)Zappa wa... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Schubert glad you're back. Hope things are well.Obviously some orchestral music could also be considered "audiophile" music in certain contexts such as when talking about recordings that are off particularly high quality in regards to both tech... | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? mesch good point. Me too! | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles of course expensive Simply means costing more money. There is no doubt 100 fuses cost more money than most. Value is a different thing. There can be value in expensive items. But they are still expensive. Im glad when anyone finds g... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I think sgordon was yanking peoples chains but you never know. The champ is here..... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles I use isolation stands and platforms under speakers. Gear rests on rock solid very heavy table on ground level concrete foundation with thin dense carpet and pad. My main speakers are in an adjacent room from my gear. My speakers i... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... " You view 100 dollar fuses as very expensive as you compare them to generic fuses,believe me, I get your point. "I doubt it’s just me. Someone do a proper survey. It can be of "audiophiles only" even to skew the results in a useful manner. They ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... That is interesting because as I mentioned the filament in the ARC sp16 is clearly asymmetrical as I recall so it should be easy to specify which way to insert that into the fuse holder mounted on the back of the unit "correctly" by the pre-amp ma... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... " if one can’t hear the improvement the SR Black fuses make, then one needs to pay attention to the micro-vibrations first "I’m still not sold that one will always hear an improvement even then which is probably old news but first things first for... | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? Rather than focus on a few minor disappointments I’d rather just say that most everything I have ever bought has been worth it for the most part. I may have scratched my head once or twice over certain pricier ICs but not so bad so no big deal. I ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles that is a reasonable approach that helps clarify the pecking order of things and helps put things in perspective.Minor tweaks are minor tweaks and only really of value once the big ones are addressed first.I'd just hate for people to get t... | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? Before I would say I would ask to confirm that public stonings are illegal or at minimum still considered to be in bad taste. :^) | |
| ... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy Atmasphere OHM generally indicates 6 OHM nominal impedance for their Walsh line speakers.I have seen measurements and impedance curves on some models that show fairly high impedance >8 ohms over extended ranges with the greatest dip down to alm... | |
| ... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy With most of the speakers in my house, including the OHMs and Dynaudios which are not inherently tube amp friendly speakers, moving from the lower Damping higher output impedance amps I mentioned to others with damping much grater than 50 produced... |
