| My New Review of the Spatial Hologram M4 Open Baffle Speaker I love that the Spatials use two 12" bass drivers, are open baffle, use a concentric mounted compression driver, and are comparably efficient as a result. Seems like a nicely thought out design compatible with most amps and worth hearing. I recall... | |
| Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design?? In general. I’ll go out on a limb and say omnis or even very wide dispersion speakers (like the OHMs) deliver a different presentation than speakers that are more directional and beam the sound more. They are two totally different presentations in... | |
| Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design?? Could be that we all have just accepted and became accustomed to direct two channel sound.Yep. I really don’t like the idea of music surrounding me, and to declare it good and the best ever heard.They don’t surround you any more than any other spe... | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? There is already more information and discussion available than any one person could read. New stuff comes up all the time but not all in one place. I am seldom not able to find info on a topic with a search. Most common important topics ha... | |
| Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design?? Ohm sells direct only these days and relies mostly on word of mouth for sales. I doubt there are any financial connections between ohm and other entities in the business other than their overseas distributors. Hence the lack of attention and al... | |
| Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design?? Sunnyjim. you are welcome any time in the central Maryland area to visit and hear my ohms. I have f5 series 3, 100series 3, and my old refurbed Ohm Ls. Also a few other brands running as well for comparisons. | |
| Best speakers for Pink Floyd? One thing for sure they need to be very pink! 🐷 | |
| Is computer audio a bust? I've started running plex app player on my laptop with usb connection to mhdt dac in my main setup. Results are really impressive and exceeded my expectations for an older usb dac. I've been running squeezebox touch to same dac and system for ... | |
| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? Nice choice! Should sound really good. Little to loose if you don't like it for any reason. | |
| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? Ears don’t lie, but do have limitations:1) you can’t hear something unless you buy it or go hear it somewhere else first2) If you hear it somewhere else first, you are hearing an entire setup, not just the thing you are interested in hearing. So y... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Roger that all sounds fine and good. You nicely summarized the differences between live sound waves and the waves that result in devices that conduct electricity used to reproduce live events.So all designers tackle the same problem in different w... | |
| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? Specifications relating to how devices interface with other devices are always important. Many examples some of more consequence than others, but you ALWAYS want to know if or how well one device will work with another before buying. Other specs o... | |
| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? I used to design and implement up and resampling algorithms (and others) for image processing of satellite and aerial photography imagery.Never for digital audio. The problem is different there but the principles are similar. DCS Ring DAC technolo... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I can tell from listening session to listening session what’s going on, but do I really hear things accurately? Has it improved overnight ... or not? Or, has the change actually moved things backwards a bit? Not only that but can one be sure a cha... | |
| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? Just listen to the DAC and don't worry about upsampling. Resulting sound quality depends on much more than that alone. Can never hurt to understand what it is though. I have a non oversampling DAC and others that do. They all sound lovely. ... |
