| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? "Nothing" would infer no effects from room acoustics. Is that what a high end stereo system is supposed to sound like? I am not sure about that. How would spatial queues captured in the recording be delivered to the ears accurately? Can a sound ev... | |
| why do we argue? Michael Berry's comment got the Newton/boy genius thing right. A good bit of hype to boost the substance in that story....The devil is always in the details. Abstract models are always much easier to get right reliably than detailed ones. That's o... | |

| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "Lord I was born a Ramblin Man..." | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Doesn't matter. As long as it sounds very good, say well above average, to the guy or gal who paid and is listening, it is high end to me.I suppose it is also high end if it costs way above average as well, but that alone does not assure that it s... | |
| 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... | |

| 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... |
