| Why do my ears ring with my new amplifier? How old are you?When I was younger, and could hear well up to 20khz, it was hard to find any amp that did not cause some discomfort at higher volumes, even if not clipping.Now that I am older and do not hear those high frequencies nearly as well a... | |

| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio It's just another aspect of recordings that can make things more enjoyable when done well. MBL done right in a larger room is the best I have heard to date. Same system in a larger room done not so well not as impressive. | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio "Pinpoint" imaging is possible live or in a studio as in recordings but not likely in most cases. So its resaonable to expect it is possible but not resaonable to expect it as a genral attribute of all or even most recordings.The blending mentione... | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio I guess what I am trying to say is if there is a "Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio " then its the observers problem since they are the one disturbed. It may be BS or something concrete. If enough people buy into it, there is proba... | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio Practically, it doesn't really matter what pinpoint imaging or anything really sounds like. Only what each person thinks things sound like. Its all in the ears and mind. Live or Memorex. One chooses to be satisfied or not for reasons that only mat... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Also I had modest STAX phones for many years up until recent. These sounded different somewhat with different amps but never veiled. Also I have heard very expensive Audeze off very good amplification which were very etched and detailed. Have neve... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Which Sennheisers? Just curious.A lot of the better Senns are said to benefit from good quality amplification. OHMs are teh same way.I have portable Sennheiser Momentum over ear phones which are said to be somewhat easier to drive than teh "audiop... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Here again is the invaluable adio frequency chart that shows what music occurs at various frequencies as well as the frequency response of human hearing for comparison. I always find it most useful to help understand what I am hearing and why.Audi... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Marty.I am not equiped to do such measurements, but what you relate is consistent with my observations.I did a lot of research into headphones recently and looked at a lot of phone measurements online. I've always thought the OHM sound to resemble... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Why does my opinion bother you? At least I'm consistent. If you disagree with something your free to express your opinion as well. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? AndrewI can assure you I am not on any payroll having anything to do with audio. | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio "In short, you need to be as passionate in your listening as a Musician is in their playing.That's a very good way to put it. | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio I agree with shubert. You can nitpick the details case by case all you want. If you have the right setup and a good recording what you hear at home should sound like the real thing playing in your room though not wherever it was recorded. If that ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? JokeI've run ohm. 100s3 f5s3 dynaudio contour and triangle Titus off various amps over the last few years. First off the exact sound with the ohms is largely a function of the gear used and the room. I can hear clear differences with most any chan... |
