| Who has the oldest speakers? OHM Ls I bought in 1978 that I recently refurbished.The cabinets on my OHM F-5s are refurbished OHm F cabinets. Chances are these are a tad older even, perhaps from the mid 70s. | |
| Headphones for use with Squeezebox Radio I like the build quality and fit design of the B&Ws. Haven't heard them enough to comment on the sound, but I suspect they are contenders.There are soooooo many head and ear phones out there these days to choose from...... | |
| Favorite Pre Amp and Amp with Vandersteen? Rogue is one I would like to hear in the tube amp camp.Tube Audio Design products another in the SS/tube hybrid camp.in the straight SS camp, I would tend to lean towards some of the better Class D amps. | |
| Headphones for use with Squeezebox Radio So I've been living with the Klipsch now for a few months and they are working out fine in that application. Could I do better sound wise? Probably. Am I tempted to spend more? Not at present in that this setup gets only limited use usually just t... | |
| Review: d-sonic m2-1000s Amplifier "how long do u think breakin will take?"Do not know for certain (my amps are different make and acquired used) but suspect it will take a while. Patience is probably a good idea.My only caveat with those amps for prospective buyers would be that I... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... "A speaker I can listen to for hours and not get bored."That's a very good answer!Works for me also. | |
| DynAudio C4 _ Explodes my sonic perspective I really liked reading about your adventure auditioning new speakers.Have you taken the plunge and bought yet?I consider Dynaudio to be a modern gold standard in regards to sound. You may pay for it, but most all Dyns I have heard are hard to faul... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... "What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker...and system?"Gotta sound "right" and be able to afford it."Have you really studied the options and do you really understand what they can possibly give you in return?"Yes and generally yes. | |
| Review: d-sonic m2-1000s Amplifier Power consumption during idle should be low so leave the amps on when not using to help with break in.I leave my IcePower based amps on most of the time except if I will be away more than overnight.Nice to heat something about these amps. I suspec... | |
| Class D amp wyred4sound and B&W 803D If I had my BC ref1000m monoblocks back when I had B&Ws, the B&Ws might still be here I suspect.WYred + B&W should be a very good pairing. | |
| How does the drum kit sound on your rig? sounds very good, best by far on the ohm 5s. as good as any rig i have heard. hard to beat. no complaints. recording quality will vary though.this was a goal well accomplished for my system. | |
| W4S ST-1000, How Loud Should It Play? when i first acquired my ice power amps, and listened for the first time, i was totally disoriented compared to my prior well reviewed amp, a mf a3cr. i turned up the volume and little seemed to happen other than the music seemed to expand but onl... | |
| W4S ST-1000, How Loud Should It Play? IF Wyred is like similar Icepower amps I am familiar with, you could be going louder than it seems by listening due to the highly transparent and non fatiguing nature of the amp.Ear bleeding is not a good thing. I find it hard to make my ears blee... | |
| best wood for speaker cabinets ? oak,cherry, balti "Do you really believe that kit speaker was designed to have sound of it's own especially when before same box was called to be made of MDF?"That is my understanding, but I could be wrong, though this is a common theme I have heard regarding Audio... | |
| best wood for speaker cabinets ? oak,cherry, balti "why not guitar wood? THe electric guitar world (some of it anyway) is obsessed with tone sustain. Strum a chord or a note and it just keeps ringing one forever."My understanding that is in line with why AN uses Baltic Birch cut to their specs the... |
