| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy I am currently evaluating my first pair of Morrow ICs (MA3 with Eichmann copper RCAs), connecting my DAC and preamp. The difference between this cable and my previous cable, Monster Reference, is simply jaw-dropping. The cable is not yet fully b... | |
| Usability of Oppo BDP-93 without a monitor? rebbi - With HDCD, the decoder is in the DAC. So, if you use the Oppo analog outputs, you will get the full benefit of HDCD encoding. If you use digital out, with an external DAC, you will lose some of the benefits of HDCD encoding, unless your ... | |
| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). Sunnyjim: I don't have enough experience with the speakers you listed to give an opinion. But I will suggest a home audition of whichever Ohm Walsh model is appropriate for your room size (room size chart is on the Ohm web site). They should ce... | |
| Computer, CD transport or Network Player? I once heard a demo in a friend's home of HDD vs. SSD, same music file. The differences were not subtle, with the SSD offering much better everything. This was a good, but modest system with bookshelf speakers, and plenty of tweaks. I made up m... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? IIRCF, I think all Ohm Walsh speakers have a sticker somewhere indicating the front of the speaker, the cylinders should, too, I think. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? rodm_2001 - Congrats on the new arrivals! Unless your drivers are used, expect the speakers to change substantially as they break in. I don’t think mine were fully broken in until at least 6 months after I set them up.As for positioning, the uneve... | |

| Finally absolutely satisfied with my system chayro - I did. My first "hi-fi" 'table was an entry-level Technics with Stanton pickup in 1976. My current 'table is a modded Thorens TD-166MkII I bought new in 1984. I run it with either an Ortofon OM-30 or a Denon 160 cartridge. But man doe... | |
| Opinions on Ohm Walsh 2000 or JM-Lab Daline 3.1 ? czar2000 - I like it very much, but it bears little resemblance to a stock Beresford. The modder, K-Works (Igor Kuznetzov) replaced most of the electronic components (but not the DAC chip), added EMF sheeting, and mine has a huge 12 volt power sup... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Mine were coiled about 6 or 7 times, so there you go. Thanks, toddverrone, induction was what I was thinking of. Yet another Senior Moment. | |
| What did you own in the 60's? A one-speed Schwinn, and a clam-shell GE record changer. My folks owned a mono system - Rek-O-Kut 'table, Audax 'arm, GE mono cartridge, Bogen DB35 integrated tube amp and one KLH speaker. They replaced the 'table with a Dual 1019 at some point ... | |
| Finally absolutely satisfied with my system I hate to say this, but... Even though there are times when I am thrilled with my rig, when it seems everything is just right, a real goldilocks situation, there are times when things are less right. Then, when I am thinking it just can't get any... | |
| NJ Audio Society? juancgenao - Thank you for your interest in the New Jersey Audio Audio Society. Those considering joining the NJAS are welcome to attend any meeting to try us out. If you choose to join, you can join either at that meeting or at the next one you... | |
| Glare on Choral recordings, classical vocals Everything counts!!!! I enjoy the Talis Scholars recordings on the Gimel label in my modest system. After adding a power filter, I noticed what sounded like clipping on louder passages of Talis Scholars recordings. Long story, but it turned out... | |
| Opinions on Ohm Walsh 2000 or JM-Lab Daline 3.1 ? Arron - As for auditioning the speakers, Ohm offers a 120-day in-home trial. If you decide to return them, you do lose the round-trip shipping.Since I am unfamiliar with the JM-lab speakers (I thought they were known as Focal nowadays), I cannot ... |
