Just Bolieve!!! Sure thing. It will be on his time and wallet I ... | |
| Emotiva Tube Amplifiers Coming In February Time will tell. I hope they sound top notch for not much. It can happen. | |
| Terminological Exactitude.... An application like Shazaam is capable of listening to recordings, and quantifying them to the extent needed to attempt to identify each uniquely from others, but that's all it can do. It cannot tell us anything about how individuals will react to... | |

| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" My experiences have all been very positive. Well, I can think of one exception.....not very significant though really. | |

Photography and audio are always interesting... | |

Having heard a fair sample of all three, in general I would say yes, each group tends to have some similar sonic characteristics as a group that will still vary somewhat in comparison case by case.Class A is more towards a warmer tube amp sound th... | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th EBM will be doing review of this show for TAS, probably around Thanksgiving time. Head down the street in Brooklyn to OHM for some real good sounding good value speakers that many might actually be able to afford, especially in Manhattan!No turkey... | |
| Speakers with max of 32" high I think OHM Microwalsh would fit, or there are other configurations that might available. See www.ohmspeakers.com. I use slightly larger/taller OHM 100 in my two channel A/V setup (see system pics). These are omnidirectional speakers designed to b... |
