| Refresh Ohm Walsh 4s or Walsh 5000 upgrade? That sounds like a good omen to me. Love that you kept the speakers for so long and will be upgrading them. Best of luck and let us know how they sound. | |
| Joseph Audio Perspectives (originals) - Rendition of symphony orchestras I don’t have any first-hand experience with the Joseph audio perspectives, so take this with as many grains of salt as you wish.

| Single Driver Impedence Thanks Erik and oldhvymec. Makes sense to this layperson. | |

| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Perspective I've never compared the two models, but JA did in his review of the Perspective 2s. He noted that the treble on the originals was tipped up which could make them sound bright. He thought the updated model was better balanced. His measurements conf... | |
| New Denafrips recklocker/converters: IRIS and GAIA Because the Nucleus can only Simultaneously act as a server and endpoint using USB out which is the noisiest output and puts additional stress on it.
