| Shazam as an audio tool Yup, I have done this for years at audio shows, audio club meets, even when watching a film and I like soundtrack. The key is to find the time to go through all the Shazams and add them to my library from Qobuz. Technology in the the service of ... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? Not familiar with the sound of REL subs. However, I have an ongoing love affair with my pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subs with M5HP crossovers. They are out of production, replaced by a newer model, but they do pop up used from time to time. They blend... | |
| Help - is Krell dead? @gotolondon2 My whole system is a bunch of "hideous black boxes with flashing lights" 😆 | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @unsound I was under the impression that, although current Ohm Walsh models use fairly standard drivers, that they are still configured to use the bending wave principle off the back of the drivers. @livinon2wheels As a happy owner of 2000s for ... | |
| Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight? I just put a box of ammo on top. Heavy and dense, they keep everything in it's place. | |
| Denarips and Vinshine split Loving my Pontis II with firmware upgrade. Glad to hear he will support his customers. | |
| What’s your favorite audio show to attend and why? I really enjoyed the Stereophile shows in Manhattan. But, nowadays, I go every year to CAF. It's a 3.5 hour drive, but I stay with my brother in Gaithersburg. It's a really fun time. | |
| Is there a cheaper alternative to this: Check out Anchor Stands. They do custom work at reasonable prices. | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? I have dedicated listening and viewing nook in my basement, so , sure, I would trade up. But my retirement apartment that I will move into in 3 years already has a room that will be my listening room, so no harshing my buzz! | |
| Changing from European to American power supply on clearaudio emotion TT There are voltage and frequency converters, but they are pricey. Look here: https://www.bondyexport.com/collections/powerxchanger-with-frequency-conversion | |
| Streamers under $1500 Check out Small Green Computer and their selection of Sonare streamers. Excellent sound at reasonable prices, IMHO. | |
| Speakers On Wheels? If your floor is perfectly level, four wheels should be fine. If not, three gives you a better shot at your speakers being stable. | |
| Speakers On Wheels? Two things to consider: Hire a piano mover to hoist the speakers up through a window. Also, if you're not a DIY type of guy, Sound Anchors will custom make just about anything you want at a fair price. I am very happy with the custom cradle base... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @tksteingraber Your 2000s have a tweeter attenuation switch? That used to be available only in the 5000s, IIRC. My 2000s are an early production pair, and lack any controls. When did you buy yours? | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @oldaudiophile Interesting. When I worked briefly at Sixth Avenue Electronics in NJ, we sold Bose and a few decent brands, like NHT and Paradigm. The Bose were on display only in a separate alcove. They were not allowed to be displayed where the... |
