| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Reb,I base my gut feel above on the assumption that the Arros will play out against the MWTs similarly to how my Dynaudios play out against my 100s, more or less.With more acoustic, less dynamically demanding material, sitting in the sweet spot, t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbe,My best advice is trust your ears to determine which sound you will live with most happily over an extended period of time with the music you enjoy. No two speaks will sound the same with the same benefits and disadvantages. This is particul... | |
| Musical Fidelity's USB Ready V DAC I'd be interested in hearing peoples feedback on the new V series line from MF in comparison to other products. | |
| Used MF Trivista 21 or Benchmark Dac1? With your system, if your looking to "soften" the sound, I doubt the Benchmark is the right choice.The MF or Bel Canto would be better choices I think.I went through some similar gyrations lately and landed on an mhdt Paradisea and have been very ... | |
| 840C and MHDT Havana The Paradisea is definitely warm and musical, not dark in any way, with either stock GE tube or Tung Sol equivalent that I have used. I use it sourced from both my Denon player/recorder and Roku Soundbridge.Can't speak for the Havana having never ... | |
| 840C and MHDT Havana I suspect the Havana will do well in those areas.HAving heard the 840c prior to acquiring the Paradisea, and based on assertions from others that the Havana improves on the Paradisea, I'm confident it will be significantly different at least, for ... | |
| Caravan - does anyone listen anymore? IICDIAOAIDIAOY is good also but maybe hasn't aged as well a some others?Canterbury Tales is a "Best Of" package as I recall...nothing wrong with that but Caravan is a group whose original classic albums are the best way to experience them IMHO.. | |
| Caravan - does anyone listen anymore? I've been a Caravan mark for years. I always enjoy listening to them play and the offbeat humor often found in their lyrics and listen frequently still these days.Caravan is one of those groups whose original classic albums still sound best to me ... | |
| Review: Soundsmith SG-410 Strain Gauge Cartridge Cartridge Well if it costs as much as it does at least there is something significantly different about it to help make the case rather than just another minor tweak to the same basic technology. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'll have to give mine a try with my old M&K sub sometime! | |
| My LP couldn't beat my CD, until now Ericjcabrera,That's a good pick.I'll keep my eyes out and maybe give it a try! | |
| 840C and MHDT Havana HF is not soft with the Paradisea even with stock GE tube.LF, maybe or maybe not with the stock GE tube, depending on taste. LF leaves nothing to be desired with the Tung Sol. | |
| 840C and MHDT Havana Xenithon,Based on my experience with the Paradisea and ability to tweak the sound significantly with different inexpensive tubes, I think you would be very pleased with the Havana.The Paradisea with separateTung Sol equivalent tube in combo with a... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? In my case, before acquiring the newer Ohms, my Triangle Titus 202 with sub was one of my references for great integrated bass. I run both Ohm 100s and 5s in rooms of appropriate size without sub and have zero concerns or reservations regarding ba... | |
| My LP couldn't beat my CD, until now I don't doubt the McCormick unit sounds great.There is something to be said for introducing a few tubes into a system.Probably true the interest in vinyl is higher today than it has been for quite a while. Call it a revolution if you like. One man... |
