| Vienna Acoustics Kiss vs. Dynaudio Contour S3.4 ICs might be a less expensive and more practical way to tackle brightness issues, depending. My Dynaudios can sound similarly hot/bright off some ICS and much more laid back on others. I'd recommend any MIT terminator series IC used as a reasonabl... | |
| Improving sound quality of streaming setup SB without re-clocker + external DAC to tweak the sound as needed ain't too shabby even IMHO. I listen to this setup all the time and am hard pressed to say I am missing anything. AEs reclocker is probably better technically regarding jitter, but ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "As to the NHT's, they are a bit bright"Well, gotta say that is one thing I have never attributed to anything designed by John Strohbeen.I run Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mkII monitors off the same system as my OHMs. Only difference other than speakers i... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Haven't heard NHT in a while but from my recollection, they have a different tonality than OHM, more like the French Triangle speakers that I also listen to and enjoy regularly on my "other" system. | |
| Choosing a Floorstander by Footprint Size "They don't allow monitors on stands, and the layout of the room and furniture dictates size requirements."Audio police, eh? :^)OHM Micro Walsh sound like a perfect fit. Big sound, small footprint, and largely omnidirectional meaning things hold t... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Ebm has a healthy attitude I think when it comes to these things...... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Zap,Sorry to hear that! Keep us all posted and let us know if we can help with the speaker situation at least. Cheers! | |
| HELP Best speakers btw 1000$ and 3000$. Real tests Sinae,What kind of sound are you looking for, what kind of music do you listen to, how big is the room, and how loud do you expect things to go?Hard to recommend anything without this info. Everything sounds different. If you've provided this info... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? So is it confirmed or not that the D Sonics use vanilla Pascal amps? No differences? | |
| Machina Dynamica "but I have a sneaking suspicion if the Real Scientists ever got wind of the Teleportation Tweak they would laugh so hard milk would squirt out of their noses"You got a point there, judge! | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? Another tube amp feature that is of interest to me is tube biasing. I am interested in doing this as simply but effectively as possible. Maybe a meter is part of the solution. Which amps fit the ease of biasing requirement best? Thanks. | |
| Is HDtracks really selling you Hi-Rez music? They sell hi res formats for sure, which means that the format is capable of hi res. The actual resolution of the actual content will almost certainly vary. Just like not all CDs or even LPs are equally detailed. You'll pay a premium nonetheless, ... | |
| Problem with maple under headphone amp Amps are not musical instruments. I'd cautious abut drawing conclusions about what an amp sounds like on a particular wood from how an instrument made of same wood sounds.Also I would hesitate to draw any general conclusions that amp sitting on an... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond,Yep, ref1000m still current model. It has had good longevity and I can vouch for why.Other BC amps like ref500m use next generation, newer Icepower modules though from what I recall.Have not heard newer D-Sonic amps but they have potential to... | |
| Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K "There are plenty of vintage receivers from the heyday that would easily handle anything the modern speaker market has to offer."Handle, yes. Bring out the best? Not likely, though some vintage receivers might do quite well with most any modern sp... |
