| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Atmasphere,I hear what your saying but of course the counter argument is that a test signal is not music so alone it does not completely address the problem.I suspect there are other tests that can be done where digital would measure better.There ... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Furman is one of my leading contenders for a power source upgrade someday. They are good value products with a rock solid reputation. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? "It's not that specs insure a good sounding match, but that they can point out a less than optimal, or even bad matching."That's exactly correct. Assuming the specs are reliable which one must assume if they are if coming from a reliable source.Th... | |

| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved I ran this by my Jack and he tilted his head in an approving manner.O---O\___/Woof! | |

| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread I missed the DIY electrostat but heard a lot of buzz about them when a DIY guy stopped by the Classic Audio room. The $800 in parts DIY full ranges were one of my favorite sounds I heard. I have the sheet at home that was handed out about how to b... | |
| Searching for better 2 channel performance? I would expect the right dedicated 2 channel amp to help with the Gallos. Different pre-amps will certainly be a factor as wellAs described, your room and configuration might limit imaging depth but not width. Distance to rear wall may not be as b... |
