So many variables with audio Live and learn. | |
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Nice. Trade in is the way to go and installing drivers oneself with instruction from ohm saves money as well. Should not be hard especially if no current bottom mounted crossover board to rip out. | |
Radiohead read on Check out some UB40 for a group whose recordings score consistently high in DR. | |
If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you I would. | |
Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy Was just listening to Springsteen acoustic live version of Thunder Road off the multi CD box set on my big OHMs. That almost did it. | |
Album which you have listened to most? I just received Best of Lobo CD.These songs bring back great memories of younger days and make me smile. Never heard them on a "good" stereo before. | |
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Do the upgrade if you can squeeze it. The drivers have improved greatly since original Walsh 2s. I know in that I had Walsh 2s for years (1981 to ~2008) and kept them to compare a/b to my current 100s3s before keeping the 100s. | |
Radiohead read on Tost I have a dbx 3BX sitting idle in my storage room. Its a lovely classic and fun piece. Maybe I’ll hook it back up again someday but have not felt the urge. It's from my aforementioned obsessed with DR period. | |
Radiohead read on Sure what goes into the cd release can be what's compressed versus original masters I'm sure in many cases. Some may have waveforms clipped as well at some stage. Dr measurements alone do not tell you that but not uncommon at least in many moder... | |
Radiohead read on All true except actually you can get into trouble a lot faster because things are recorded louder to start and there are fewer valleys between the peaks which means when the loudest parts achieve the desired SPL when played the amp and speakers ar... | |
Radiohead read on Metallica Death Magnetic 2008 03 02 04 lossless CDI’m pretty sure this is the one I have. Pretty bad but some in the DR DB now show as 0 0 0 (you can sort using the column headers to see the best and worst in the DB at the top of the list easily).... | |
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? IC between amp and pre-amp will affect all sources, not just CD. You need to try both and decide which option works best for all the sources you care about. If just CD, it may not matter much but no way to know for sure with out trying both li... | |
Radiohead read on If I understand the DR charts correctly, the number represents the difference between the loudest and softest sounds per release and also shows similar best and worst track DR. It tells you nothing for example about transient dynamics and what one... | |
Multi room audio: wired I had speaker wire run from central location to 4 rooms and a deck when my home was built in 1998. I run speakers in each room from my main system via a niles speaker switch box. These days I mostly stream wirelessly from my music server using... | |
Radiohead read on Well dynamics are a big part of it. Certainly not all. If it does not sound good enough, well then either don't listen or figure out a way to make it better. |
