| ??? How Much Would You Spend ??? A class d Hypex Ncore or Purifi stereo amp delivers top notch performance and can be had for under 2K. They will drive most any speakers to their max. So thats probably about it. Compact design for a small room is the icing on the cake. | |
| Ohm owners: What headphones do you use? Hey @bondmanp hope all is well. I have Sennheiser, Grado, Sony, Audio Technica, and Truth Ear IEMs which are inexpensive and awesome. I’d say Sennheiser is closest to Ohm Sound. I have original Momentums. They are also very comfortable. Having ... | |
| KEF Meta speakers vs non meta I have ls50s and ls50 metas. The metas are a notch or two better. | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? Yes and the earth is way too round for my personal preferences as well. Less science solves that no problem ( no pun intended). Magico with right amp and set up well is pure heaven. It takes some science to figure those parts out. Random hunch... | |
| Humminguru Nova - newest ultrasonic record cleaner I have original Humminguru. Works great, a fantastic bargain. I feel same joy using it. Not familiar with the Nova version. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid For something completely different and worthwhile for many check out Ohm Walsh. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Nothing to fear but fear itself. … and money. Fear and money! …and maybe the wife? Fear, money and wife. Oh snap, then there is the sound… Fear, money wife and sound. That’s it! 4 things to fear. Depreciation! 5 things actually. . Oh well, you ... | |
| Kris Kristofferson Nice to read all this well deserved appreciation for double K. | |
| Clipping with Separates with change of Power Conditioner[?] Avoid power conditioners on amps in general. Most are not up to the task and are nothing more than a bottleneck. | |
| Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it Fact is Roon by its nature is a somewhat complex beast for the average person to get a handle on. Definitely not plug n' play. That adds to teh # of issues or difficulties that people report. Some may be Roons fault but others just chalk up to... | |
| Separates vs Integrated Integrated amps have the advantage of being “integrated” by experts ( you would expect). Whereas you have to integrate separates. That provides flexibility but the flip side is there are more possible outcomes that are not all equal. I am not an ... | |
| Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it I run core on a minimal Windows host along with other things. Not optimal but works well enough on the cheap. CPU is definitely my bottleneck. Not so bad that I have been inclined to upgrade to a more powerful host quite yet but likely will at ... | |

| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma I am of the opinion that speaker efficiency need not matter as long as the amp is up to the task of driving the speakers to maximum performance. Granted that is an easier job for many amps with speakers that present an easy load to drive (Fritz sp... | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma +1 @bruce19 Would love to see more standard filter settings like those to deal with loudness delivered with Roon. Anything to make the tremendous power of Roon DSP easier for the masses to apply properly. Also with Roon for lower volumes I f... |
