| Speakers and system for compressed recordings? Iso,Funny you say that because as I recall that is exactly correct!Before I owned a real stereo, I would operate on the transistor radio and run the internal wire to the speaker to an external bigger speaker, whatever I could find. That was one of... | |
| Speakers and system for compressed recordings? "Motown sounds incredible on an AM transistor radio.'Gotta disagree on that one. Motown never sounded better than remastered and on a good modern rig. | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? The new Totem Element line....any good?Totems with bigger drivers than used historically sounds promising. | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? How did the Emerald Physics speakers sound and compare? | |
| Does Hardware Matter? You need a good soundcard on board the computer to do the A2D conversion if going out from the headphone jack. That is the main thing in regards to sound quality. I used this approach when I first started with computer audio and it can work pretty... | |

| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? German Physiks often shows at these events, don't they?Not sure if anything really radically new there of late.OHM relies on word of mouth from existing customers mostly for sales and has never done a show to the best of my knowledge.Its the few u... | |
| Amp to drive Dynaudio C-1 Pass is a good choice. A good Class D like better Spectron and Bel Canto models is the other option I would consider. Bel Canto ref1000M monoblocks sound great with my lesser Dyns as they do with my much larger power and current hungry OHMs in a m... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Any Walsh style speakers showing at RMAF this year?Dale Harder's designs come to mind but there are others.Just curious how any Walsh designs are holding up at these events these days if showing. | |
