| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Ralph, again though even if production of uber dynamic lps need not have technical limitations, and teh makers are inclined to leverage the technology to the max (rather than make some compromises in the interest of managing cost and overhead usua... | |
| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! Plex software includes apps and server and runs on most all common platforms including Android and the app has gotten quite good on the last year or so and continues to get better. I’ve been going towards PLEX rather than Sonos (proprietary hardwa... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Agree. Resolution and dynamic range are two different things and not necessarily correlated. You can have lots of bits available for both but its still the recording engineers that get to determine how or if to use them or not. | |
| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP current research shows brain can compensateInteresting. How? | |
| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP Schubert of course you know that we all tend to loose ability to hear highest frequencies out to 20Khz or so like most can when younger, so the gap between old rolled off tube gear and more full range gear heard back then was larger than what we w... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Geoff,All I;m saying is lossless CD res format is higher resolution than lossy (the .mp3 download).But yes format alone does not assure the content so anything is possible. In the case of the mp3 even, Skyfall may not be the DR champ in the grand ... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? The Adele that I am most familiar with is the tune "Skyfall" which was the theme song for the recent James Bond movie. I know and like it from a class at the gym (balance). I only have an mp3 download from Amazon so far and its not bad, fairly lis... | |
| Tube Integrated Amp - Help Please So for a compact yet good sounding tube integrated under $1000, I wonder what people would recommend. The ones I’ve heard and liked are Jolida FX10 and GLOW audio Amp 1. The GLOW sounded as good as anything I thought at Capital Audio Fest a couple... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? ct, thanks for all that. I agree in general.BTW Springsteen is a mixed bag for me but Darkness is perhaps my favorite end to end of all his releases and I have no issues with my CD (ripped to music server) copy for what it is.BTW, playing CDs ve... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? There are automatic digital room correction devices available today that users swear by and I suspect can do a very complete job of adapting speaker output to rooms if done properly. One way to skin the cat fairly completely in one blow if desi... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? crossover most likelycontained in teh can with the drivers.SBA can work off the full range signal feed into the can.With my 5 series 3 drivers on the OHM F cabinets, everything was in the can as best I recall from when I first connected those. | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? In addition to the crossover electronics. Which should be pretty simple I think there is also what is called the "sub bass activator" circuit which is used to help extend the bass. I'm assuming the latest x000 models still use that. Js would kn... | |
