| Song With Best Beginning Higher and Higher by The Moody Blues.In addition to the rocket launch at the beginning of the song, Higher and Higher also features one of my favorite lead guitar riffs performed by Justin Hayward. It is also the lead song on the the album "To Our... | |
| Marian McPartland Great memories from Piano Jazz. | |
| Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers Worth seeing if changes in location of preamp (and associated ICs, especially if not shielded) relative to surrounding gear and any other electric gear, power cords or appliances results in any change in the buzz level. If so, take note of where n... | |
| Do Active Speakers Belong In A High End System? All live events, even pure electronically amplified ones, have the equivalent of a soundstage and imaging, in home audio jingo. What varies is its nature case by case. In some cases, there may be similarities between what is heard live and what is... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Audiozen,You seem to do a lot of research related to CLass D amps. Are you involved in teh industry in some way, or just a motivated consumer? Just wondering. Thanks. | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? How are the good old and seemingly still quite popular Wyred Class D amps faring sound wise these days against the newer breeds?I heard a newer Audio Research Class D amp at Lyric in NYC recently running a pair of mid sized Nola speakers.The audit... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 3/3000 Speaker A year or so back, I was able to attend a orchestral concert at Carnegie Hall. Seats were dress circle, just left of center. Sound was glorious. OHM designer John Strohbeen is said to use Carnegie Hall sound as a reference in voicing the OHMs. I h... | |
| Triangle Titus Xs Triangle Titus XS is a very easy load for most any amp to drive. Each amp will sound different, including NAD. YMMV. They are very fast and clean sounding and very tube amp friendly. Can get a touch hot sounding with some SS amps. I have used with... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 3/3000 Speaker Schubert,YEs, I recall sound of older KEFs before their Uni-Q driver based technology hit. Had a very small pair of KEF monitors once. I did not really have the rest of teh system at teh time to do them justice most likely. Sound was most laid bac... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 3/3000 Speaker Seik,ls50 uses 5.25" bass driver I read. Similar size to my Triangle Titus XS from the late 90's. Smaller than my Dynaudio Contour mkIIs which have >6.5" bass driver. Dyns have a much bigger sound, closer to OHM 100 series 3, but not as extende... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 3/3000 Speaker I have some tentative plans to do some listening and comparisons between KEF ls50 and OHMs on my system probably sometime in September. Looking forward to it. Will be able to say more about KEF versus OHM after actually hearing some newer highly r... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Good point by Tobe. Not usually a good idea to plug high power amplifiers into anything other than the wall outlet. External power conditioners usually become a bottleneck for optimal amp performance in that they cannot deliver the power and curre... | |
| Amp with best bass control Bel Canto is located in Minnesota USA I believe. Good value ergonomic products and good customer service I have found as well. ref1000m specifically is based on Icepower Class D amp modules made by Bang and Olefson (Danish). | |
| Does Avalon speakers have a house sound? I do recall noting what seemed to be very good coherence with the Avalons when I heard them. | |
| What mid priced receiver sounds best? Tandberg tr2080 if you can find one still in good working order. Most NADs are a good choice as well. |
