| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? IMHO massed strings are the ultimate torture test for a loudspeaker vis-a-vis correct phase and coherence. My Walsh 5000s do a wonderful job with both massed strings and depicting the full power of a symphony orchestra with control and believable ... | |

| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable If a cable has significant resistance and reactance it will color the sound by interacting with the amplifier and loudspeaker. Using exotic cables to achieve a desired sound is not cost effective. Your money is better invested in monoblocks so tha... | |
| Affordable SS amp that has tube characteristics Get a Wyred4Sound ST-1000. Then insert a 1 ohm power resistor in series with the loudspeaker. It will sound exactly like tubes without the tube noise, but with the rich midrange, slightly rolled velvety treble and lush tubby bass. | |
| Ohm Walsh 2000s vs Vandersteen 2Ces The newer Walsh 5000 is vastly superior to the classic Walsh 5 in several areas:1. much more transparent and neutral. Midrange veil and slight colorations are gone.2. the bass is much more taut and tuneful, superior to the somewhat tubby though ca... | |
| Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers? Yo Mapman:Thank you for the kind words.I'm listening to Fistoulari conducting the LSO in a performance of Adam's Giselle, a Mercury Living Presence CD reissue, on my Walsh 5000s and I am there: it is alive!Living presence indeed! You need a Walsh ... | |
| Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers? It's been 6 years since I've tinkered with building my own Walsh drivers. It seems like yesterday - the years do fly by. I was involved with the DIY Audio Forum then and my contributions to the thread start here:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/mult... | |
| Variations in how your system sounds? If I am extremely stressed or fatigued, my system just doesn't sound right - as you describe unfocused with flat dynamics. Over several years, I'd experienced this with frustrating irregularity. Then I discovered that when I ingest a B-complex mul... | |
| How is Rotel RCD-1520 CD player? Anyone owns one? The Rotel 1520 is fantastic. My previous reference was a Pioneer Elite PD-59 transport to a DACMAGIC and it was most excellent and satisfied my ears for about 2 years. But the 1520 blows the doors off the DACMAGIC:1. Superior (explosive) dynamics2... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I owned the Walsh 5 S3 and upgraded to the 5000s and have extensive listening hours logged with both. Here is a point by point comparison:1. 5000 greatest improvement is in the midrange - it is much more open and transparent - superb inner detail ... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound.....Anyone????? I have been listening to the ST-1000 for over a year and have logged over 500 hours. These amps are the bees knees. They are superior to any power SS amp I have ever heard in bass extension ans control, transparency, and sweetness of the midrange ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Two most beautiful equations in history:e^(i X Pi) +1 = 0Walsh 5000 + Wyred4Sound ST-1000 + Mercury Living Presence = Auditory Nirvana | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The Old Carnegie Hall was acoustically superior to the new refurbished hall of today, though the latter is still an excellent acoustic. The old hall had scintillating air and a responsiveness that was magical.I've been listening to my Ohm Walsh 50... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? IMHO, the single best way to optimize the incredible soundstaging and imaging of the Ohm Walshs without sacrificing their remarkable dynamics and tonal accuracy is to acoustically treat the room to absorb all first reflections, particularly side w... |
