| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Update: Vinyl! Finally tried some vinyl on the 2000s this weekend. I have an original VG+ Fredereick Fennel conducting a Cole Porter song book, a Mercury Living Presence Wilma Cozart (pre-Fine) production. Sound was very good, very clear, and agai... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Yesterday, I heard a highly modded technics 1500 with some of the TapeProject reel tapes (these are dubbed in real time directly from the master tapes). Very, very, impressive sound, but not enough, for me, to justify the expense (~$4000 for the d... | |
| Impression of MF Tri Vista 21 DAC vs. Arcam CD23T Andy2: Thanks for the comments. I don't think there is anything wrong with backing off on the treble, assuming you have a way to do that without introducing other issues. I don't think your preamp allows for this, but maybe your speakers do. But, ... | |
| Vandersteen Model 1 Provided the woofer was repaired properly, preferably by Vandersteen, I doubt you'll get better sound for $300. Note that the letter designation, IIRC, does not appear on the rear label of Vandersteen speakers, so it could be a 1, 1B, or 1C. Check... | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? Adam18: You probably do not want to hear about this, but I am in the process of upgrading from Vandy 1Cs as well. Since my room does not have the space for the larger-profile 2Ces Sig IIs (an otherwise natural upgrade, considering I have Vandy cen... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Parasound - Your idea is actually a very good one. First, I agree, it should aid in the burn-in process. Second, my comments would be more relevent if I listen to them full-range. That said, you've got to hear the Vandersteen 2Wq to understand how... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? OK - day two. I didn't have the strength last night to fiddle with the subs or move the Vandys out of the way. I did toe-in the 2000s just a smidge, maybe 1/2" from parallel.I watched a few tracks from The Best of Sessions at 54th Street (DVD - PC... | |
| Speaker advise for a new Tube Amp. I can't think of a better solution than the Silverline Audio Minuet. They list at $600/pr, but are frequently sold here on the 'gon for less. Pretty efficient, and they can fill a decent-size room. I was very impressed when I heard them with a muc... | |
| Best speaker used under $1000 for piano rec. You might want to check out Ohm Acoustics - www.ohmspeakers.com. You can by a new pair of MWTs right around your budget. These should suffice for a small room (cubic foot ranges for each model are posted on the web site). I am currently auditionin... | |
| Speakers for bad rock recordings I may receive death threats for this, but you might consider inserting an equalizer into your system. I would assume the Onkyo amp has a tape loop, making this possible. I have a Behringer T1951 parametric EQ on a tape loop. As long as a recording... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I did get my 2000s last night! :-)The boxes were huge and heavy, with triple-boxing and wood and foam inserts. Good thing, too: UPS did their usual best to destroy whatever might be inside. They only succeeded in damaging the outer boxes, however.... | |
| NJ Audio Society? Rayr2: If you are still interested, contact Rcprince, president of the NJAS. | |
| Is Rega coming out with an new Apollo CD player?? I don't know, but there was a limited edition Apollo offered through limited distribution outlets. It included several upgrades, both cosmetic and sonic, to the standard Apollo. IIRC, it was for Rega's silver anniversary. I came in between the Apo... | |
