| 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... | |
| 'Holographic Sound Stage?' Dress circle level, just right of center, Carnegie Hall. | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? "I would assume that the acoustic effects of the pinnae (the part of the ear that is outside of the head) are a major contributor to the effect I described. "I see. Could be the shape of the ear is a factor, larger area above to gather more higher... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? Al,Are you able to rule out the room acoustics in your tests as a factor?That would seem to be a logical explanation for hearing different test tone frequencies at different heights. Anything about your room's acoustics that might account for it? ... | |
| eric burdon No but a big EB fan here and will have to check this out. | |
| Will either of the speakers work in 17X17 room. "Having heard the MBL 101e in a big room I really wanted them to work. .....If i just had a few more feet in both directions...."You and me both! As much as I like mbl, I would be hard pressed to justify the extra expense. My large OHMs are a perf... |
