| Best speaker cable for Krell/Dynaudio? Bo is essentially correct in that there are many choices that will all sound good. Best thing is to not overspend so you can buy and sell as needed.Audioquest is a good place to start...readily available second hand and good value compared to many. | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? "Ill add that on occasions when theory and practice seem to be in conflict in audio, my belief is that in general the cause is often not a failure of theory, but rather a failure to accurately recognize its limitations, or in some cases a result ... | |
| Wishbone Ash fans... It is a wonderful album and my favorite WA album as well. Have not spun in awhile, will have to break it out. | |
| New Amazon streaming music-free for Prime members Yes, very interesting. They're giving you access to songs in their library as part of Amazon PRime. I guess my music library just did get bigger. Now I just need to stream from Amazon cloud to my DAC. I'll have to try to add the url to Squeezebox ... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Steve Hackett is top of my list of artists I want to see live and never have. Does not come around Baltimore/DC metro area very often though. WOuld love to catch the Genesis REvisted Live tour. Hackett is the man. I don't blame him for leaving Gen... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Coot,Pipe organ music lovers are almost always prime candidates for bigger drivers and more power than most. Powered subs may not be the only way, but probably the most expedient way in most all cases, including OHM.Just remember that recordings a... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Granny,No doubt, many feel the same way as you, wanting to build around a good active pre-amp.But there are clearly other ways to do it that involve no or lesser investment in the functions of a pre-amp, which nowadays is often merely to switch so... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? I have trouble accepting the value proposition of very expensive pre-amps these days in general.Not that each might not sound very good and seem worthwhile on their own, but the job of a pre-amp at its core is not that complicated. Some will argue... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Frankly, I would not want to reproduce anything below 20hz with a 180 w/ch amp in that it will run out of steam fast reproducing anything at that frequency.Larger, fairly high efficiency speakers would likely be needed to do anything below 20hz if... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The Jean Guillou rendition of Pictures at an Exhibition on Dorian CD is the recording I have that seems to plunge the depths the most and is the one I use for testing low end extension specifically.Not sure how low it goes exactly in that I have n... | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord Pangea AC14se. Nice product. Works great, as advertised. | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall PRice on Larsen's are not bad for what they might do I would say, especially for a European import.MWTs are another option I have considered at present if I do something someday. VEry small footprint and probably the right size. But do I really ne... | |
| power cables - not in the signal path? "...not relevant..."Hey a new advertising slogan for many MD products!!! %^) | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I also just thought to mention that cabinet volume is a big factor with teh OHM Walshes along with driver size in terms of being able to deliver the goods down to 20hz.I have never seen John advertise any Walsh models to extend below 20hz (few if ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? In summary, I have heard where my OHM 5s in my room with the right gear in front of them can do an excellent job alone on the lowest notes of pipe organs, shaking hte rafters in the process. Top notch low end extension in source gear and enough po... |
