| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please If your cartridge is MM, the Music Hall Bellari phono pre-amp seems reasonably priced. Never heard it though. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Wanted to toss this into the sub-discussion on this thread regarding omni versus conventional imaging.Was just listening to "Open Arms" by Journey on standard issue "Greatest Hits CD" on my larger Ohm 5's.This track has an interesting piano solo o... | |
| Ohm Walsh old vs. Microwalsh new Glad to hear it.Try moving the speaks 6" or so closer to the wall as a test if you haven't already and see if that helps.Also, if you haven't already, make sure you have both speaks connected to amp in phase, ie + to + and - to - on both. Bass is ... | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player "the Playback Designs MPS-5 has a totally custom designed, programable DAC"A programmable DAC sounds like a useful feature. Does that mean it can in practice be programmed to sound different case by case if needed/desired? I'm curious if anyone kn... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbe,If you ever get to the DC/Baltimore corridor area let me know in advance + I'd be happy to give you a listen. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Zk,YEs, I've had at least one pair of Ohms in my system for 30 years. I've been researching upgrades heavily for the last two years. Now, I own 3 pair of Ohms (2 Walsh design) as a result. MAggies and B&Ws have seen the door in the process. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please The Music hall sounds like a very good cost effective option, if needed. | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player Wow. How does the Playback Designs accomplish what apparently other players cannot? What is the difference or new innovation in a technical sense? The designer must be doing something special or unique? | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi,Congrats on the new additions. Totem is a good choice.And, you helped generate a long, interesting and informative thread in the process.thanks. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please ZK,All I can say with certainty is that EVERY recording (good, bad and in-between) sounds more lifelike or "live" on my Ohms than any other speaker I've owned concurrently (Maggie, B&W, Dynaudio, Triangle) and been able to do direct a/b compar... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Jpaik,What you describe with Morrisons is very similar to the Ohm experience.Ohm describes their Walsh wide-range drivers as a "Coherent Line Source", not a point source, though I think the difference here is marginal.Ohm wide-range Walsh driver o... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please KN,I think there is a lot of validity and insight to the assertions on the Morrison site regarding nature of recordings and stereo playback. I would still assert though that recordings are what they are in regards to how miked, mixed etc. Good ste... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Jpaik,Never heard of Morrison speaks before.Their web site has a nice accounting of the omni imaging experience compared to conventional designs. From that I would expect some similarities to Ohm , Dueval, German Physiks, MBL and the like, no? | |
| dbx 3bx series 2 question Thanks for the info Dave. | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player What's unique about how the Boulder reads CDs and is it measurable somehow outside of subjective listening? |
