| Ohm Speakers Status Update @veemike my big Ohm F5s I’ve owned since 2008 are set up in a very similar configuration in my decent size L shape room. Listening to them as I type. They are tuned in perfectly these days and oh my. | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? Back on the olden days at Tech Hifi the only bad speakers to me were always the CerwinVegas. All muddy bass and not much else. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Everyone has an opinion. But some are clearly better informed than others. | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? Not so much anymore thanks to streaming. We only have so much time to enjoy good music and gotta make the best of it. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews It’s a free country so anybody who thinks they can do some thing better than someone else is free to do their thing. Otherwise negativity is just counterproductive words that anyone can toss about. I’ve found ASR to be one of the more useful reso... | |
| How you know your system is improving? You have to know where the target is in order to hit it. Also the target must be real not just a pipe dream that can never be realistically achieved In this case the target is the sound you seek. You know whether you improved or not if the new so... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update I’ve owned several Mofi records over the years mostly from teh 80’s. Nice quality packaging and heavy vinyl but suspected they were digitally mastered all along just by listening. Oh well. I could care less how made really only teh overall quality... | |
| Aurender is finally Roon Ready?! One thing I can add is that I never listen to vanilla Roon. In every case, there are things that can be done with the DSP to make the sound better (to my ears) including application of convolution filters for specific headphone models, room correc... | |
| Aurender is finally Roon Ready?! So what is it about the Aurender sound that is better? With digital, pretty much anything is possible. What’s the secret sauce? Is it a particular house sound? Is it better in every way? Any tradeoffs? Has anyone attempted to apply Roon DSP to see... | |
| Moody Blues founder Mike Pinder passed away today at 82 😥 | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Some bumps are good and others not so much. With DSP, you get to add bumps where needed and where you want them to be, not where they just happened to be when the product shipped. I find with most speakers I tend to like a bump from ~4-6khz. Tha... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update Glad to see that update! For anyone interested, Ohm has a place in Facebook that gets a lot of activity from devoted owners. Check it out! | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I’ll go out on a limb and assert that in the end, proper application of measurements always helps to achieve one’s hifi sound goals faster, more effectively and for less. The trick is to be able to understand and apply the numbers properly and I ... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Fwiw I have kef ls50 meta ( + Klipsch sw308 powered sub), Ohm Walsh and Sonus Faber Concerto Domus each in different rooms. I use Roon DSP to tweak the sound of each in their corresponding rooms. The KEFs are known for their good technical measure... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Seems to me the correlation between high end and cost is much higher than the correlation between high end and measured sound quality. |
