| What phono pre am I looking for? @jack43 "It blows the Signature away..."Seriously? I've been looking for a Signature v2 and came across the F159, but I don't see how it could be better than the Signature (although I haven't heard either). I see you put some $$ tubes in it and I... | |
| Denon PMA-2500NE or similar "do it all" integrated in US? Here’s a link from the Denon UK website...https://www.denon.co.uk/uk/product/hifi/amplifier/pma2500ne | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Regarding tweaking... I've found that I can adjust the tone controls within the first 30 seconds, and I'm good for the whole album. Heck, I don't always sit down when listening, so I can't get too particular. My stereo sounds "good enough" (to me)... | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Follow-up... I bought an integrated amp with tone controls (Vincent SV-237), and I really like having them. The Loudness button gives much more of a live rock show feel, because it makes me feel like I'm in front of the guitar and bass cabinets (w... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm digging my Walsh 3's. Granted, they are a lot bigger than Micro's, but the amount of bass in the 3's is pretty amazing. (The only reason I didn't keep my Micro's years ago was due to the lack of bass.) These are an older model, and I doubt the... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I know this thread was supposed to be for the Micro Walsh, but since it's turned into an "Ohm" thread, just thought I'd mention...Just bought a pair of used Wash 3's (haven't hooked them up yet), and the WAF was pretty low. Heh, I think she said, ... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2013 I only listen to rock. Here's 3 good ones from '13...Valley of the Sun - Electric Talons of the ThunderhawkSasquatch - IVMonster Magnet - Last Patrol | |
| Why aren't there any used Jolida JD9 on the market I was shopping for a used JD9mk2 (I used to have a JD9, but sold it a while ago). During my search, I saw the original version for sale at spearitsound.com (in their used/demo section, for only $379). I have no affiliation with them (and, I don't ... | |
| heavy metal Hey Fujindemon... do you post on theobelisk or the old (now defunct) stonerrock.com? You listed most of the big bands from the genre.As for The Sword... they were a decent live band, but I thought their singer was the weak link. He was actually so... | |
| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings I wanted an album on vinyl so bad, I started a vinyl label! That was 7 or 8 years ago, but since then, it seems that the labels I like have regularly been issuing vinyl, which is nice. (Small Stone, Tee Pee, etc.)I wish they would remaster for vin... | |
| LP to CD format anyone ... I used to have Yamaha CDR (HD-1300, I think), and I thought the albums I recorded sounded better than store-bought cd's. (I did a couple a/b tests to verify.) However, I eventually gave up, because I was too lazy to do it "right". So, my cd would ... | |
| Iphone and DAC question Never heard of that site, and I didn't know this... "IOS7 will now permit exporting the digital stream".Thanks for the info! | |
| "this is the product Ohm puts out" "Have you ever seen the pics of John Strohbeen and the OHM Brooklyn facility?" I haven't seen the pics, but I've been to his place in Red Hook (I live pretty close). It looks more like a lumber/woodworking shop than anything to do with hifi. I'm s... | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. I've been sans tone controls for years, but may try a pre with bass/treble knobs next time around. I gave up on using subs a while ago, even though I like a lot of bass... there are times (certain albums) where I wished I could tweak the bass a bi... | |
| Another "help me pick speakers" thread Mapman-I guess that makes sense about the ability to drive the speakers, although I always figured, if the speakers were not efficient, I'd just have to turn the volume up (and, as I got close to "11", it might get distorted). I haven't had much e... |
