| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Like Raul, I have carefully observed bass and most other parameters of sound at live events.Based on that, I too have reached the conclusion that good digital, even CD redbook, has no problem doing realistic and accurate bass if implement well (al... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Very good. | |

| why do we argue? One is not likely to invest time and money in something they do not believe in.People believe in many things that I may not. I have no problem with that. However, I will reserve the right to believe what I will for whatever reason I chose in retur... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? yes, toe out with more direct tweeter exposure should help make the soundstage more centrally focused. small adjustments there can have a major effect. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? RBF, If you play a mono recording, and sit in front of the OHMs, where does the sound appear to come from? I find the center of the OHM soundstage tends to be the center of the rear wall behind them which may not be the same as the center between ... | |
| why do we argue? Nonoise,Agree that we all have our dark sides. The key is how one manages it. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? rbf, my setup as pictured Here had similar issues when first set up as in the picture. Moving the OHMs forward 6-12 inches and moving the TV back to the rear of the table so that there was more distance to both TV and walls behind resolved the iss... | |
| I'm back now to my CDP NoNoise,I feel similarly about the DNM Reson ICs I use throughout my system now, from phono and DAC and from pre-amp to amp. I strived to get both my vinyl first and then digital up to snuff and both now have more in common in terms of musical rew... | |
| why do we argue? Of course that writer labels himself a subjectivist and then proceeds to paint objectionists as the bad guys. Who'd a thunk it?I think I am both at the same time. There is good mapman, the subjectivist who believes ALMOST anything within reason is... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rb,I use my 100S3s in my two channel a/v system for A/V.Speaker position is key to get a clean center channel image with 2 OHM mains in lieu of an actual center channel speaker. The speakers may need to be closer together and/or further out from t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Batch,Glad things are working out.Carja,HArd to say. I'm an older guy too (52) and leaned towards vinyl as well until I went with a NEtwork Music Player (first Roku SOundbridge, now Squeezebox TOuch) + music server. Now I spend most of my time wit... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Raul retains an open mind in his search for musical perfection and the force is now with him!- - \__/ | |
| How diverse is your musical taste? Ditto. I am all over the place in the interest of hearing something new and different regularly in addition to my proven favorites. I am probably more forgiving of recording quality than many "audiophiles" though I always appreciate a nicely done ... | |
| I'm back now to my CDP I use Samsung Laptop music server with two external USB drives connected via Wifi to Squeezebox Touch running an mdht Constantine DAC I picked up for $350 on Agon a while back. I listen for hours without wanting to stop + the sound is spot on and ... |
