| cdp that can play several formats Kr4 - I know the 105 has DAC inputs, but not sure about the 103. Musicrover wants that for his computer for streaming. Musicrover - check the OppoDigital web site. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? You are spot-on, Mapman. I have indeed crossed over, and my conscience will not rest until I can feed my Ohms properly. | |

| Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K For something completely different, within your budget and with some serious low-end punch: Ohm Walsh 5015 (5000s with integral powered 15" subs). | |
| Floorstanders 3K Oh, almost forgot. Another good choice, Golden Ear Tritons. Same price range, with built-in powered woofers. Smooth, clean and dynamic. | |
| Floorstanders 3K Brian - If by "livelier" you mean brighter than neutral, there are dozens of choices out there. But my vote for a good, full-range floorstander within your budget is the Ohm Walsh 2000 ($2800/pr). I have owned them for about 3 years, and the honey... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Ultimatezap: Congrats! I, too, have a big screen - a 55" plasma, mounted behind and between my Ohms. I had thought about a curtain for them, but based on the sound I am getting, and on Mapman's comments, I am going to leave it be. Before the Ohms,... | |
| Record cleaning machine or other devices?? As a good value, IMHO, it's hard to beat the KAB EV-1 at $169. You supply a canister vacuum for this all-manual version of a VPI cleaner. If you don't mind applying the fluid and turning the record yourself, it works just as well as a VPI cleaner ... | |
| CD player to be use as a transport advice? If that's your intention, focus on the quality of the CD drive. Focus on drives designed to minimize jitter. I don't know much about the Onkyo, although IME, Onkyo gear is very durable and rugged. I use an Oppo BDP-93 as a video, SACD and DVD-A pl... | |
| Oppo Customer Service Review ditto from me as well! | |
| Found Speaker After 6 Yrs,Bought & Lost In Minutes Just out of curiousity, have you spoken to Legacy? Maybe they have a few of the old drivers sitting around for repairs or just gathering dust at the back of a warehouse shelf. You never know. Maybe they can put together a one-off for you that will... | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test I have commercial carpet over a cement basement floor. The floor is not even, not even close to even. My tower speakers have integral plinths beneath open-bottomed cabinets, and are designed to sit flat on a flat floor. When I first set them up, t... | |
| Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K I have heard the Golden Ear Tritons. Very smooth, detailed and they produced a really big soundstage. IMO, a steal at under $3K including powered woofers. These are not being sold by the kind of dealers that typically sell Def Tech nowadays. They ... | |
| Is there a perfect speaker? Is there a perfect food? A perfect Scotch? A perfect car? A perfect home? As in these things, a speaker is a highly personal matter of taste and preference. It's a part of the human condition that our tastes and preferences vary. | |
| D-Sonic peak current output compared to other Very helpful, Atmasphere! That explains my experience perfectly. |
