Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
@enginedr1960 - As I have posted elsewhere, I find the reflections off my 60" plasma that is mounted to the wall behind and between my 2000s to be beneficial.  I tried covering it with a quilt, but it sounded worse.  I think part of it might be th... 
German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted
@audiotroy - Exactly. The reason I suggested the OP read through that huge Ohm Walsh thread was to get a feel for the kind of audiophile that likes the omni presentation, the pros and cons of it. It was that thread that lead me to try an in-home d... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Sorry I just noticed your posts, @blueranger . I have my 2000s shoe-horned into a pretty tight space, so I cannot verify your 9-12 foot apart issue. I have some CD cabinets that are only about 6 to 10 inches from the Ohm caps. I do have them pulle... 
German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted
Kenny - All the information on current and recent Ohm speakers you could possibly want is on this huge Audiogon thread -https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/ohm-walsh-micro-talls-who-s-actually-heard-emIt’s a long slog, but if you want a feel fo... 
German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted
I have heard two models, the Unlimited (now discontinued, IIRC) and the Borderland Mk IV, on separate occasions at Distinctive Stereo in River Vale, NJ (the U.S. distributor for GP).  Disclaimer:  I am a happy Ohm Walsh 2000 owner (since 2009), an... 
Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!!
Update: So I finally got the newest software download, and the blinking LED issue is gone. The USB & Record indicator light does cycle slowly on and off. The Sweetvinyl team is checking to see if that is normal.Now for some good news: Track sp... 
Used Korean Speakers
If you post a negative review of these, three security agents will visit your home, reposition the speakers, empty your fridge, and remove all of your fingernails. 
I like Steve Guttenberg.
I am also a fan.  I've run into him numerous times at audio shows.  He is friendly, humble and just a really nice guy.  I do read some of his posts on CNet.  I think he is one of the more trustworthy audio journalists working today.  I don't subsc... 
Digitizing LPs
@dtc - You, know, I forgot that Vinyl Studio also is available for Windows.  I may try it as an interim fix until the SUgarcube can do track splitting.  Thanks. 
Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!)
Klaud Bunge at Odyssey Audio makes a line of speakers. Audio companies don’t get much smaller than Odyssey. 
Digitizing LPs
I am in the same boat as the OP.  For 12 years, I have been slowly digitizing my LPs, about 3 or 4 per week.  Until recently, the process was:  Clean the LP > Record it to CD-R using a Marantz pro-sumer CD recorder, inserting track splits on th... 
Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design?
@timlub - No doubt, Tim.  Alas, I have neither the skills nor the time to attempt such speaker surgery.  But even as is, they were a steal. 
Folded tweeters vs. dome?
My 2 cents:  I have heard many speakers that use domes of various materials.  Some were good, some were bad, some were ugly.  But I have yet to hear an AMT folded ribbon tweeter that I did not like.  I have heard them in Golden Ears, custom speake... 
Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design?
@timlub - I have a pair of the Insignia coax speakers on a shelf in my dining room.  Powered by an old JVC receiver, they sound amazing with music from my server via Plex on my computer, and that is just using the audio out from the sound card.  T... 
Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design?
The best I have heard was the Manger driver - mangeraudio.com.  Heard them years ago in a custom design.  I have heard some others, and, IMHO, these walked all over the KEFs I've heard.  I have heard the Piegas, and they are pretty good, too.  But...
