| Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought) I have a set of Ohm 1000s and they do a fantastic job of letting me enjoy my eclectic taste in music without fail. I've heard a lot of speakers over the decades and have no urge to make any changes. | |
| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? I have a VW ID4 electric with a Grizzl-E level 2 EVSE (charger) in my garage. It does not affect the sound quality of my stereo system. | |
| Why still USB 2.0? Plenty of people in the "more is ALWAYS better" camp. Doesn't surprise me in the least that some think having a transmission speed that is almost 1,800% higher than the max needed isn't good enough. | |
| Please settle a bet! How does one win a bet when the results are only based on opinions? | |
| German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted I have a set of Ohm 1000s in a 13 X 25' room with a vaulted ceiling and the sound is extraordinary -- the best I've ever had in any of my homes. (I should have a larger model but brought these from another house with a smaller room and didn't feel... | |
| Compare/Contrast Spendor Classic vs. Harbeth speakers I owned a pair of 1/2Es for several years and also auditioned several Harbeths at length. Between Spendor Classic and Harbeth I have a slight preference for Spendor; I just find them a bit more natural sounding. That said, I could easily live with... | |
| Rogue RP-1 or Schiit Freya I don't have a Freya+ but do have several other pieces of Schiit gear. I've been very impressed with the sound quality, especially so for the price. I'd agree with the others that it is worth an audition. They give you 15 days to audition and cha... | |
| Ripping CDs to Hard Drive and Live Recordings jbs is right -- metadata is not standardized. And its been that way going as far back as I can remember, into the days of what could find on a LP label or album cover. You would find incorrect song titles or times, and sometimes even in the wron... | |
| Suggestions: Interesting small speakers with flexible placement I have Ohm 1000s in my living room and Golden Ear BRXs in my bedroom. They are quite different in the way they interact with the rooms (quasi-omni versus front-firing box) but both sound excellent, though my preference is for the Ohms. | |
| Budget integrated amp needed I have an Audioengine N22 ($199) that works very nicely in my bedroom system. Unlike most amps in this price range, it is NOT a class D amp but rather an A/B design. It is not as powerful as many others at this price point, but if you have reasona... | |
| Stand Mount Speakers The GoldenEar BRX is also right at the price point of the two you mentioned. I have a pair in my bedroom system and find them very enjoyable. They use the same tweeter and mid/bass drivers as in GE's Reference model. | |
| Dynaudio Evoke 50 vs Revel f226Be This is a forum suggestion, not a response to your question. I've seen a number of duplicate posts recently. I suspect people are posting, but then not refreshing their screen, so hit post again with two messages then appearing instead of one. T... | |
| Two Sources, One DAC The number and type of inputs on any DAC should be clearly disclosed on the spec sheet for the unit. I'd like to think you could find that on any maker's web site but I suppose some web sites are better than others in this regard. | |
| Two Sources, One DAC I have a Schiit Bifrost 2 DAC that has three switchable inputs -- USB plus coax and optical SPDIF. All sound great and I would think an improvement over the built-in DACs in both the Denon and Node. I happen to mainly use the USB input but have ... | |
| 30 to 50 watts seems to be all I desire @dynamiclinearity said "Power is used for very, very short term transients which can be 20 to 30 dB" This misrepresents what is actually on recordings. Over two decades, I transferred over 1,000 LPs -- from rock to classical -- from LP to digital... |
