| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Any speculation what would make a fuse take so long to break in?I have no clue. | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? All the good engineers i know think out of the box all the time. All the the tech talk nobody can understand has no meaning obviously. The product will live or die on its value proposition and sonic merits like all do. I agree with atmosphere th... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BTW I would say JS’s design decision to punt on the coherent source Walsh driver above 7khz or so was a sound one.Just take a look at the Interactive Frequency Charthttp://www.independentrecording.net/irn/resources/freqchart/main_display.htmSome b... | |
| The issue of lowballing... What does that mean? It's a disease unique to high end audio apparently. Lowballers should not insult people who expect good money for their stuff and expect the same I suppose. Not much tolerance for that. Very insulting!I think its reasonable to expect market va... | |
| Docking station for an iphone sbank what options do you know of? I like sound quality and convenience. Might sacrifice some latter for teh former if needed. | |
| Docking station for an iphone I’d like to know as well.My understanding is you can use the Apple Camera adapter wire to go from Iphone Lightning port to USB and DAC. It cost about $35 as I recall. Its the only Iphone to usb wire option that works I read Anyone using it that wa... | |

| These Moody Blues Will Knock Your Socks Off! The Fab Four to some extent perhaps at that time in that they were already the best known and most successful British Invasion group but the fabs and others would all tell you all the British groups initially were channeling the American roots mus... | |
| Most Effective Tweaks? Yep, as mentioned several times above, hum is most likely ground and/or EM related due to close proximity to transformers and the ilk.RF is typically higher frequency noise, not unlike the noise other than hiss one might hear listening to FM stere... | |
| Radio Paradise -- Good Stuff Radio Paradise reminds me of the glory days of music oriented FM radio back in the early to mid 70s. Except even better. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I use 3 12X12 sound panels on sidewalls at primary reflection points based on where I listen from most often. May try some on ceiling at some point but have not felt the need.My advice with OHms specifically is treat only as needed. Start minimall... | |
| Can "Refurbished" Thorens turntables sound better, and worth taking a chance on?? I still use Linn Axis table I bought back in mid 80s and have had similar experiences to brother Bondmanp. Still runs great and zero problems over 30 years or so. The old Thorens are a similar breed I would say. | |
| Is it all worth it? Mensch yes not being overtly bright at all yet surprisingly resolving makes them a great match for that room. My main system feeds that room and speakers in several others via in wall wiring and a speaker switch so yes the little Bostons benefit ... | |
