| 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 ... | |
| What makes music so congested? Regarding headphones as a tool to help eliminate congestion, I use Klipsch S4 ear buds with my Squeezebox Radio and my daughters Ipod oudoors. THese do a fantastic job of sorting through the music for only $80, even on the Ipod playing mp3s. Bass ... | |
| Tube vs SS vs Digital REf1000m is a rock solid choice in your case I would say. Lots of things in common with some of the larger and better tube amps I have heard except with seemingly unending power reserves. I too have large power hungry speakers and am unable to pha... | |
| I'm back now to my CDP I'm with chayro. | |
| Tube vs SS vs Digital Wolf,Good point! Tubes are a lot more fun to play with than transistors. Not that I've tried....recently. Well, I seem to recall I may have actually as a kid. I had a shoebox filled with little gadgets I collected around to play with. I seem to re... | |
| why do we argue? "If they work for other ears that's great, but the only way to know is if you go out and try the things that are being described."That is true and I doubt anyone would disagree. But, the hard part is the decision making process. Which things to tr... | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage FWIW, for larger or more fragile more costly items that are more problematic to ship safely, I usually try to hold out for a seller that is closer to me whenever possible in order to minimize shipping risks involved. Ideally, I will wait for somet... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? "If one medium is threatened, it's CD"No doubt. DIgital downloads are a way bigger threat to CD than vinyl. SImilar to how digital downloads of books are a threat to the formally printed variety. Printing/publishing to physical media in general is... | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? I've been to many live shows. SO I guess there goes that theory.Once, I saw Peter Tosh in a 100,000 seat football stadium. The sound sucked! A lot of MArley recordings on my stereo are way better.I've heard some good sounding reggae/ska in smaller... | |
| why do we argue? Well, I guess if it boils down to two choices when someone says something that does not sound right:1) ignore it2) argue the pointI suppose if we all chose to not argue ever, the world would be a much different place? Better or worse? Hard to say.... | |
