| At what volume do you typically listen? Mwhee will likely be able to continue to enjoy his system into retirement at those levels. Good for him.A little louder on occasion is probably still OK. | |
| Does your system take you there or...? Agree with Pubul.I like to be about one section back dead center at the symphony and I like something similar when I listen to a symphony at home in my MUCH smaller (than the symphony hall) listening quarters.Also I am with Wolf regarding untreate... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Vu,Describe your listening room including size/approximate dimensions please.Thanks. | |
| Does your system take you there or...? Yep, different strokes for different folks for sure.... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? "Had this problem been addressed properly from the get-go, I suspect that about 90% of the D vs A debate in the last 30 years simply would not have occurred. "Would would constitute addressing it properly?I do not hear the brightness you refer to ... | |
| Does your system take you there or...? Well, the room is there no matter what so that is a factor no matter what.Different systems will sound different even in the same room. Some may seem to interact with teh room more so than others. It all depends.Not sure what else to say. If it so... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Found this about Bubinga wood in wikipedia. Interesting...."UsesThe genus is well-known for its luxury timbers. The best-known timber is bubinga (Guibourtia demeusei, aka kevazingo). Another is ovangkol. Species of Guibourtia also produce Congo co... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Carja,Nice. Thanks for sharing that!WOuld love to see some pictures of the 5000s in Bubinga wood.IS it a veneer or solid Bubinga? I'm guessing the first, especially of no extra cost.I ask because I see Bubinga is an exotic wood sought for use in i... | |
| At what volume do you typically listen? "consensus around 75 to 95 dB"anything above low 80db range is most likely going to damage your hearing. 95db is way to loud for regular exposure. YOU WILL GO DEAF!!!!! | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? 24/192 would be a safe bet i would say, an insurance policy perhaps more than anything, with a price. 16/44 is pretty good...good enough for most but does cut it somewhat close at least for younger better ears and technology today is capable of be... | |
| Are CD players dead CD players are waning heavily in favor of computer audio. CDs themselves will still be around for quite a while until some new higher res music format eventually replaces it (when???). It will be some time before all music is delivered electronica... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Assuming fixed dynamic range, resolution results from a combo of the # bits used to quantify each digital signal amplitude value captured and how frequently (the frequency with which) the signal is quantified. So a finer definition of amplitude co... | |
| Former MHDT Havana Lovers: What did you move onto? I would agree in general with Ejlif's assessment.I was eyeballing the Benchmark after owning the Paradisea but decided to try the Constantine first for less than half the cost and have not budged since.The Paradisea sounds lovely even with stock t... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? "Bit depth describes the dynamic range"That is true for any particular application or format spec, like CD redbook, but not in general.More bits can mean more accuracy and/or more dynamic range. So if the specified maximum dynamic range stays the ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? I might be willing to assert that quality control with good modern digital formats is miles ahead of any ancient analog technology, regardless of the inherent advantages otherwise. Assuming this, that would indicate that digital in practice rather... |
