| B&W in best buy One of my local Best Buys uses one of their "high end" Magnolia rooms as a storage room with shopping carts used for storage haphazardly parked in there among some of the nicer Best buy gear set up in there for demo as well.Nice! Very classy and h... | |
| Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it? Frisbees?Some more notable film camera bodies may acquire value as collector items or museum pieces eventually if you and your heirs hold on to them long enough. | |
| Amplifier advice from Ohm Walsh 100 Mk. II owners I think either amp should work well with either MicroWalsh or 100. I'd try each and see and then go from there if needed.Again, make sure these are the right size for your room based on the model to room size mappings on the OHM site. 100s will do... | |
| W4S ST-1000, How Loud Should It Play? "I tried a friends Bel Canto Ref1000m's with a power rating of 500w at 8ohm and 1kw at 4 ohm , they produced much lower volume levels than my 200w at 8 ohm A/B designed Levinson amp ."Was volume level determined just by listening?Try it again with... | |
| Amplifier advice from Ohm Walsh 100 Mk. II owners What are the power, input impedance, current delivery and damping specs on the Sumo and Hafler amps?Most any amp will drive them if used in the correct matching size room (see OHM web site for model to room size mappings).To drive and CONTROL them... | |
| Logitech Duet sonds awful "I have found with my SB Touch that using it hard-wired, via ethernet, does sound better than using it wireless. Sorry, I have no explanation for that, it's just what my ears are telling me."If so, I am at a loss for an explanation. I do know as I... | |
| Logitech Duet sonds awful It's not the digital wireless transmission most likely unless perhaps you have a bandwidth limit set on squeezeserver (not the defaultqhich does not set a limit). This might be done to avoid rebuffers that might occur if your wireless network were... | |
| Review: Triangle Art Reference Turntable Turntable I've heard your reference R2R gear set up at your Annapolis Junction showroom. One of the best home audio sounds I have heard anywhere!That tt is a gorgeous piece of equipment! If it sounds like the R2R at all, that's quite a feat! | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Cup your hands behind your ears to hear better when listening for guaranteed better results. Cheaper and less expensive than cryo treatment! Results are absolutely guaranteed as well regardless of source medium! | |
| How does the drum kit sound on your rig? "I don't think any home system is going to really do drums. I mean the REAL THING. "I think it can come close enough to not matter for most.Depending on room size and other factors though, you need some combination of bigger, better and more effic... | |
| Headphones for use with Squeezebox Radio Yes, the Shure's continue to be an option I might consider as a step-up from the Klipsch down the road if I decide to make a bigger investment in this. | |
| Dynaudio C-4 or Revel Salon 2 I know that can be the case with my Dynaudios. With proper thought and setup they are awesome. Otherwise, they might tend towards harsh.This is a good thing. The Dyns have the ability to do it all for teh most part. The task is to get them set up ... | |
| Amplifier advice from Ohm Walsh 100 Mk. II owners "It's too bad they dropped the casters from the newer Ohms. "I agree, but I suspect they could be done by special request, especially with refurbished cabinets, or they may not be hard to add yourself. | |
| Headphones for use with Squeezebox Radio 3XO is an older model with somewhat higher efficiency than most OHM Walshes.With a 80X+ high current SS amp or better, bass extension should be very good in the price range these typically go for used, near full range class, better than most any m... | |
| CD mastering a lost art? I think its more pining for days gone by than anything based in reality. The fact is everything about digital has only improved over time and continues to in general. Often, economics dictate that cheap products be made. Other times, not. Nothing ... |
