| When a Reviewer "likes" something One thing for sure, in the end, no substitute for trusting one's own ears. | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something "Mapman is also a hero of mine."Always glad to be of service to insomniacs everywhere! :^) | |
| Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds Kijanki,Sounds similar to 3 pieces included with Klipsch s4.The widest ones provide the most bass but become uncomfortable over time and tend to slip loose easily with me. BEst sound, not best fit.The ones I use normally are not as wide and close ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Tobe,Inquiring minds want to know.....Looking forward to your findings. | |
| Small difference equating to a big difference? Humans are fallible creatures. That's basically it. Accurate assessments take time and a lot of care. | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something The reviewers whose opinions I trust are the ones who base their reviews on a solid foundation of facts. They will point out why one thing works well with another and not another. These kind of reviewers are admittedly in the minority perhaps, but... | |
| Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds Realize of course that all ears are shaped differently. The piece that fits one best is likely to not fit another best. Its like fitting a pair of shoes for both function and comfort. See how many shoe designs and sizes are out there? As a result,... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? An omni tweeter, especially using the folded ribbon Heil kind, sounds like a good thing. My only concern would be how well it integrates with the rest in lieu of a crossover. It appears to be designed to integrate cleanly and easily out of the box... | |
| Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds A hotter sounding than desired top end might well accompany a poor seal that defeats bass potential. | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something "You are a wise persons and IMHO there are no true real facts where you can argue that tube technology is better than SS to work with real speakers"Some say some tubes provide more linear gain at various frequencies than transistors. IF so, that w... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Tobe,That's great! Thanks for sharing. SOunds like music even over my crappy PC speaker.Any downsides with the current configuration that you are hearing? | |
| Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds "The midrange is really the strength here. The bass is there but you may have to work for it."That may be typical with all earbuds from what I have seen in that the tight seal is critical for the bass (ie to "pressurize" the ear fully). A tight se... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? "Mapman I don't doubt that a lot of 'dark side' stuff will survive. It will depend on how much MONEY can be made off of it. That's the key."Nothing, dark or otherwise, will survive if there is no market for it. | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? "And 'conditions' don't apply to the guys into metal and other such garbage."Metallica has a decent chance of survival there I would say.Maybe "Deep Purple" as well.Motorhead also has a decent chance I would say.Why should material that appeals mo... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? Two factors I used mainly to determine my list:1) talents that have withstood the test of time to a good extent so far, although admittedly that is still a limited time frame.2) core musical themes or attributes most likely to affect people than o... |
