| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I should also point out that that the low bass adjustment on 5's or newer 5000's may be labeled "room size" with small, medium large room size adjustments. I have used these to put my large F5s into a small 12X12 room and see how that works. IT wo... | |
| Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds THe other thing with earbuds is that the snug firm fit is key to optimal sound. Same buds may not fit all ears, just like each needs different size shoes. The best ear buds may not sound good if the fit is not right and vice versa. | |
| Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds I have found with my Klipsch earbuds that firm seating and tight seal is key for good extended and dynamic earbud sound. Same might be true for the LGs. Try different shape buds if provided and see. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Ohm 5 MK II is second generation CLS design, one generation earlier than my 5 F3s.I have not heard mkII series so cannot comment on sound. I have also owned and heard 1st generation Walsh 2s. I should be a lot of speaker for $2300.All 5s have the ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I've heard a folded ribbon/heil type tweeter that looks like the one in those in a pair of Goldenear Aon speakers recently. THose were very impressive with a very smooth and somewhat polite top end compared to say the native OHM X00 series three l... | |
| Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals? I'm not sure CD format is a barrier to good female vocals.I can vouch that mhdt Constantine or Paradisea tube dac possibly with a minor tube upgrade like NOS TUng Sol can do them well if teh system overall is up to the task. | |
| Lore vs Vandersteen ICi vs Ohm Walsh Talls If it is the Red Dragon Class D amp, 250 w/ch, that should be a very good match to bring out the best in the OHMs. I use 500 w/ch Class D amps with mine.Should work well with Vandy as well I would think. OHM and Vandy are different designs, though... | |
| confused about Bel Canto Products goldprint got it right from what I have read. | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something IT depends on the reviewer. A lot is based on trust. If a reviewer has a good track record over time, it means something. The product being reviewed is likely viable or competitive at a minimum. Whether it would work best for you or not or if you ... | |
| Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals? Any decent DAC should be up to the task. One thing I have found does particularly well with vocals in my system is DNM Reson ICs from DAC to pre-amp (and from pre to power amp as well if applicable). I can easily understand most all vocals in any ... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? "You've traded off noise and hum protection to gain in capacitance and impedance. "Actually, I did have noise/hum issues from external EM fields with low level phono step up transformer device itself. I put that device (with DNM ICs running from i... | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? Mihorn, That's a unique way of breaking things down that I had not heard or thought of before applied to home audio. I have some background in geology (though it s been awhile) and the concept of P and S waves as they relate to seismic waves rings... | |
| Amp suggestions for $1000 Well, if you want to experiment, I would think a decent used tube amp for the DeCapo's is what I would look for. Not sure what one might find for $1000, but Jolida, Rogue, PrimaLuna, or Decware or something along those lines might fly.Ot try an ex... | |
| Lottery Winner would buy what kind of Stereo Gear Would have to buy a house and room to put it in first, then see. I would start out with what I have but definitely be curious about how I might improve if money is not an object. I would not just blindly go and spend another 10s of thousands or mo... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Jimmy/Rower, can either of you explain to me why the fairly unique minimalist designed DNM Reson analog stereo phono plug ICs that I use and like in so many ways sound as clean coherent and lively as they do? They essentially look like old style 3... |
