| Speakers for Electronic Music? OHm Walsh 1000s + Wyred4Sound or similar CLass D amp. ABility to go loud and clear yet remain controlled and articulate can't be beat.Caveat is larger rooms might benefit from a larger model than 1000's, which would exceed the budget, at least new. | |
| Do amps have a sweet spot? Not alone so much, but in practice along with the rest needed to make music, yes.The "sweet spot" regarding human hearing is overlooked. We hear better ie our ears have a flatter frequency response at louder volumes. That's probably the biggest an... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? "Analog, like digital, has made strides in the last 3 decades."No doubt.But how much again to get the equipment capable of it? Then how many recordings capable of actually demonstrating it? Then how many people capable of setting it up properly to... | |
| Why does most new music suck? "IOW, my observation is that it is (with several notable exceptions) popular music posters here are narrow, backward looking, and quite conservative in their musical taste and would likely reject rap in a heartbeat."Anyone who would propose Audiog... | |
| Best Rock Song Of ALL TIME? Blue Suede Shoes (original Perkins version) | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? YEs, no purpose in yet another vinyl versus digital debate. Its pretty well documented already.Good pure analog recordings are the ones that shine most uniquely on vinyl for me.Once the recording and mastering process starts to become digital, the... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Tbg,Of course digital is subject to errors are well and nothing is perfect , but there can be no comparison IMHO either in design or practice between the precision, significance, magnitude or commonality in practice of the errors common or possibl... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? The thing is almost every aspect of vinyl record playback is a compromise. I suppose that's what makes it so interesting say compared to digital, there are lots of ways to do it yet no approach is perfect, much less any record being played. So it ... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? If it were possible the best tonearm length would probably be no tonearm, or 0 length. Tonearms are necessary evils given the inherently flawed design of vinyl and teh systems needed to play it. Bigger/longer might be OK if done well but is defini... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Its a mistake to underestimate the musical talent levels out there these days. Whether one likes modern music versus older stuff or not, these things only grow and evolve over time. Lotgs of musicians still covering older material and forms if tha... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BTW, the new OHM website is back up and looking good. Lots of interesting new info there to soak in. Pics of some current products mentioned still missing though. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 3200 cu ft is just past the high end on the OHM site chart for 2000's, but that does not mean they might not fit the bill. Probably best to talk to John Strohbeen. | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Fishing, You should really review the thread and take tne doubles down to 4 ohm advise seriously. You might find a good match otherwise but that is the spec that will help identify the amp you need. I thought you understood this and were going dow... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "What I'm most curious about are any changes in detail and resolution, along with stability and precision of imaging. "I had Walsh 2s before current series 3 models.detail, resolution, and stability and precision of imaging are exactly the things ... | |
| HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps Not uncommon for warps or other imperfections in record geometry to produce subsonic rumble To some extent. Goes with the turf with hi fi phonos. resonance frequency of cart/tonearm can exacerbate the problem with certain combos more than others.T... |
