Biggest impact on you?



Curious: I’ve gone through a lot of gear over the years. In reflecting upon this, a Conrad Johnson MV-45A1 power amplifier I bought back in 1983 had the biggest impact on me. This includes consideration of the many preamps, speakers, cables, CD players, and so on that I’ve owned through the years.

Has that piece been the best I’ve ever had or heard? Absolutely not. But, it was the first high end piece I’ve owned and it wowed me big time. Ran it with Vandersteens, CJ’s PV4 preamp, and a Sonograph TT – loved it!

So, what component (power, pre, speaker, TT, CD, etc.) has had the biggest impact on you?

OHM speakers.

First heard them back in 1978 and I have come full circle back to them again these last few years.

I fit these to my rooms and build my system around them to make them sound best and am getting mega payback these days.

The OHM Walsh speakers are unique game changers in terms of twhat you might expect to hear out of a system at price points mere mortals might afford.
