| Current amp vs Voltage amp One of the most interesting recent developments in audio to me is that newer high efficiency amplifiers at affordable price points now offer an alternative to easier to drive higher efficiency speakers, which is a popular current high end paradigm... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp ALso, shame on the high end audio industry for not making it easier for buyers to get the most out of these products. It would not be hard to come up with a quantitative system for the benefit of buyers to identify quality of amp/speaker matches. ... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp This is a great discussion about the factors that go into good sound from a technical perspective. Speaker/amp matching is perhaps the most important fundamental to get right first to achieve best results IMHO. Every system must have an amp and sp... | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Check out The Romeros on Mercury Living Presence for a special treat. | |
| Tweak you gotta try. Post your results... Earth already has a magnetic field that wires are running through. Why not more!!!! Or should I be tweaking to counter effects of earth magnetic field on my sound?I'm Geoffkait has an answer?:^) | |
| Tweak you gotta try. Post your results... "I use magnets for a number of things - electronics chassis, power cord plug, transformer, pc boards, glass, wood. In fact, colored magnets have been de rigueur for many years. Heck, I even make products that incorporate colored magnets or ARE col... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? A solid foundation is key to getting best performance out of the Walshes for sure!My 5's are in the basement on thin carpet over concrete foundation! Rock solid and perfect! No problems.My smaller 100S3s are on main level, with typical plywood flo... | |
| KEF LS50 Seokosha,How long have you lad the KEFs?I'd be curious which of KEF versus Harbeth wins with you in the long term. I suspect they sound more similar than they look? :^) | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I suspect most of D-Sonic customers are not running tube pre-amps. They are looking for best value in an amp mostly I suspect, and are probably not too concerned about technical details relating uniquely to tube gear. D-Sonic will certainly work w... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Tobe,I suppose Dennis has his reasons and motivations for doing things the way he does.I'm not judging it, just pointing out some differences between vendor's approaches and value propositions. M-Sonic is certainly one of the vendors that sets the... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The difference, at least historically, between D-Sonic and Wyred is D-Sonic merely puts existing third party amp modules in boxes with connectors to make a finished product. No special circuitry. Wyred and some others like Bel Canto add circuitry ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Sorry, meant D-Sonic, not M. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? YEs, those pics have come up on another thread about M-Sonic. ITs still not clear if that is what is being used by M-Sonic currently or not though.Only the vendor or a customer who has purchased recently would be able to say for sure.It really wou... | |
| 'Holographic Sound Stage?' Funny, The setup I heard years ago in Jim Smith's old Audition store in Birmingham Alabama with Magnepans was one of the best ever, including holographic soundstage. Speakers were well out into the middle of the room, well away from walls.Maybe th... | |
| 'Holographic Sound Stage?' I have pairs of speakers in 5 rooms off two different source systems and get a holographic sound stage to varying degrees with each. It mostly has to do with how well set up the speakers are in the room for holographic sound. Setups in only two of... |
