| What's the best way to clean vacuum tube pins? Very carefully! | |
| Sound is DARK / FORWARD / TRANSPARENT? Ironic how insufficient the internet truly is as a medium for understanding hi fi or high end sound. Words will always fall short. Yet its all we got to communicate to others what we hear. HElp me please! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond,Your findings with the different power cord plugs are interesting.Are you sure the only difference was the type of plug? Could the connection to the cord itself perhaps have been more sound with the new plug versus old?In any case, interestin... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS Atmasphere.Good info. Thanks.Is it reasonable to extrapolate then that "medium sensitivity" speakers, say 91 db are subject to the same issue, but to a lesser extent in general than "high efficiency" speakers? Is the dependency a linear or non-lin... | |
| Reason for selling is... One thing I think I notice is that people on this site tend to ask too high a price for gear that is clearly in lesser condition, like speakers with significant dings in cabinets, etc. Its like you pay a lot for this high end stuff and value (% of... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved ALso, computer audio is still a "new frontier". It will become more settled over time, probably for the better. | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved " "I understand Petty's concerns, but do not share them". I'm not sure what to make of that one. I can't seem to add it together. "In other words i can understand your frustrations with teh complexities of modern computer based audio. I agree it i... | |
| Converting Flac to Wav & Upconversion SGR,Thanks for that info.Which program is best from a usability perspective in order to just point to a source music library and convert to a target without any additional manual interaction? I"d like to be able to fire off the program just once a... | |
| Converting Flac to Wav & Upconversion Maybe this was covered, but anybody know a good, reliable program that can do bulk conversion of a library of 1000's of .wav files to FLAC?I would do this mainly for the metadata tagging advantages of FLAC versus .wav. My library is mostly .wav, j... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved I understand Petty's concerns but do not share them.Time to put this thread to rest? 6 pages and where have we gotten? What have we learned? | |
| I don't like the sound of my system. Help please. " Apparently its implementation of Class T amplification results in its being a powerful generator of RFI (radio frequency interference)"Excellent point!RFI noise from an older switching amp is quite possible. Physically and electronically isolati... | |
| Reason for selling is... "Not my cup of tea" sounds much better! | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Assessing different technical approaches for Class D seems to me like a technical assessment of ice cream, chocolate versus vanilla. You can read and analyze all you want but won't know what you have exactly until you try it. Often the case with h... | |
| Reason for selling is... The problem I find I have buying expensive high end audio products used is not knowing for certain that a product is truly performing up to specifications as it should. That is what you are paying for, however good sounding gear might not perform ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? This weekend, i experimented with the ohm 100 series 3 speakers back in the sun room, which i have not tried in quite awhile in that in the past, the bass was always just too heavy in there. What a nice surprise this time that they are sounding sp... |
