| Avantgarde or Tonian? Interesting and tough choice!My guess is the Avantgarde has more upside but will be harder to get setup properly and tweaked to sound just right.I'd probably lean towards the Tonian for top to bottom coherency and towards Avantgarde for dynamics a... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please I've applied mu metal foil that I was able to purchase on teh internet to shield my phono section from external EMI/RFI with good results.My understanding is mu metal is designed specifically for this kind of application.Check my "OHM Sweet OHM" s... | |
| Your favorite SET amp? Wavac EC-300B... My understanding is the actual sound of SET amps is perhaps the most variable of any amp type, based largely on their relative high harmonic distortion measurements and how a particular design actually distorts accordingly. Also the potential cost... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Sndsrtaud,IT can vary, but I use DNM Reson ICs throughout my system. I like these for their flexibility, cost effectiveness, coherence and overall clarity. The bass tends towards the leaner side compared to some ICs but is very articulate and full... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? With recent mentions of Miller Sound and John Potis, I happened to come across this which I thought a very fun read:Road Tour | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Omni's are a different beast with a totally different presentation. Would not make any sense to use them as a reference to compare traditional designs against. You can compare and contrast but its essentially apples and oranges.Nevertheless, I hav... | |

| Help Me Name a New Band How about "phase correct"? Royalties might be due. | |
| My system's high frequencies hurt my ears Rob, Before changing anything, it may be easy to at least attempt a different speaker setup where tweets are not direct firing at you. Try aiming tweets just to the outside e of your ears at your main listening position as an experiment and see if... | |
| Music Server/DAC in Same Box I think wyred4sound now makes one. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Snds, You're right. It's all about the presentation that differentiates the ohms from other good designs. . | |
| what is an ideal tube amp Rogue would be another option i would consider. Probably hard to go bad with vac or arc also. Ramy, gotta say i really like your collection of gear! Building around gp and car speakers. Probably doesn't get much better than that! | |
| My system's high frequencies hurt my ears Have you tried adjusting toe out/in and/or speaker location so tweets are not firing directly at you? | |
