| where to find blank disks for denon dcr-w1500 Two good web sources for digital blank media:american-digital, and SuperMediaStoreAmerican Digital is a good source for MAM-A media, and SuperMediaStore has Taiyo-Yuden and others at very good prices. Just remember to get "Music" CD-Rs. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Update: Ohm factory says my Walsh 2000s should ship on Monday, the 27th. Since I am one state over, I should have them the next day. Shipping on the 27th means that Jay, my salesman at Ohm, was spot-on when he told me that the speakers would ship ... | |
| Just me or do speakers in cell phones sound harsh? I'm a flat earther: I use only a pair of tin cans connected by a length of string. Highly efficient, they use no power whatsoever. I use larger, institutional-size cans for deep, resonant bass, and pure cotton string, uncolored, for - wait for it ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Question for Ohm owners: How far apart are your left and right speakers? Are you happy with the results?I've read some comments that they need at least 6 feet between them to provide the kind of soundstage size they are capable of. The alcove in m... | |
| Floorstanding speakers with Conrad Johnson amp/pre In your price range, you might consider the DCM TFE-200 ($1000/pr). They are sold direct with a 30-day trial. Never heard them with C-J gear, but they sounded very good with a 25-watt Jolida tube integrated, in a fairly large room at a show. Here ... | |
| Merlin vsm question Other than a few impressive auditions at hifi shows, I don't have any long term experience with Merlins, and I have no experience with the VR3. However, you can have all your various version questions answered at the Merlin site, which includes a ... | |
| Lite DAC60 to go with Rotel 1072 ? Pacific Valve offers modified Lite DACSs with a return option (less a reasonable restocking fee). Other tube-based DACs are also available from retailers that will take them back if they are not what you had hoped for. One example, the Music Hall ... | |
| Looking for a good subwoofer For musicality, I strongly recommend the Vandersteen 2Wq. If HT is a major priority, the V2W might be a better fit. Whether or not it will pass the WAF test, I can't say. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Well, Mapman, I just found out today that my $9K dream speaker is now my $12K dream speaker :-(The Silverline Audio Bolero is now the Bolero Supreme, with a 33% price increase. This speaker nearly brought me to tears when I heard it at a show year... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I hear ya, rebbi. The 2000s were a stretch for me too. But, I'm almost 50 years old, I get almost nothing from keeping the money in the bank, and with the kids about to start college, this may be my last chance for a decent pair of speakers. Consi... | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C FWIW, I have a pair of 1Cs, and they are a bit under 5ft apart. I get great width, decent hieght, a little extension into the room, and no depth (55" RPTV sits between them). IMHO, the 4ft space between them is not the problem. Placing the speaker... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I think rebbi is correct. I was actually thinking about the Walsh 100S3 before the new line came out. In the new line, the 1000 is too small for my room (~2800 c.f.), so I went with the 2000. Given the improvements to the design, the economy, the ... | |
| How effective is the Onzow Zerodust? Wow - thanks you guys!!! I was reading this thread, thinking about the Onzow. I thought Magic Eraser was some kind of audiophile tweak like tube dampers, until I googled it. Obviously, I don't do the cleaning in my house! A $2.79 household cleanin... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Good question, Mapman. AFAIK, the casters are affixed to the plinth base, so you get both. I asked Jay if the plinths sat flat on the floor, since my basement floor (carpeted) is not completely flat. His response was that they come with casters, s... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Well, I finally, FINALLY, pulled the trigger (been following this thread for a long time!) on a pair of Walsh 2000s. Although I wanted a satin black finish, that was not available, so I ordered a black finished wood veneer. I ordered the standard ... |
