| John Barry & James Bond Music Big Bond fan here.I pick up the old soundtracks on vinyl whenever I see them in good shape at reasonable cost. Very nice recordings as a whole! The essence of what vinyl is all about in many ways!"You Only Live Twice" is maybe my favorite Bond the... | |
| Reagrding the Ohm Walsh F & A Now Walsh TLS-I, II "Map, I assume the Capital Audio fest is around the DC area?"Yes, in a wonderful 19th century mansion public venue in Rockville, MD just outside DC. | |
| Funk Essentials - Under The Radar Ohio Players Gold CD is an essential as is any decent collection of hits by the O'Jays and Kool and the Gang.More recently, "One Two Punch" by Liquid Soul is one of my favs. | |
| Best Karmina Burana performance I have the Robert Shaw version on Telarc CD from a ways back.Not sure if its the best but it is very solid in all regards. | |
| Reagrding the Ohm Walsh F & A Now Walsh TLS-I, II I'd like to see this thread stirred up with user input on the TLS models based on listening sessions from some of the various OHM/Walsh fans on A'gon somehow.I think there is a captive market for these here based on expectations. The trick is to d... | |
| Best Audio Store Name? I always thought Crazy Eddie's (Tech HiFi's arch nemesis) was the worst. "His prices are insane!!!" Who wants to buy stuff from a insane, crazy guy?Heh heh....Oh well, both went belly up for different reasons...... | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... Doesn't it all depend ... on ... lots of things, always?It goes against my instincts and experience to assume though that there is only one way (tubes) to make tasty audio soup and do the harmonic balance plus all the rest well.After all, we sent ... | |
| Best Audio Store Name? I'm partial to "Tech Hifi", one of the larger chains in the NE away back, and "Audition", an audio specialty store in Birmingham, AL also a few years back.We have a small local shop nearby called "Listening Room". I like that too! | |
| True Analog LPs versus Digital Recordings Old_6,I think 1978 or so is about the time i recall first seeing the first digitally recorded lps, on Telarc label I believe, but these were quite novel and very few and far between at that time. Their most distinctive sonic attributes were the dy... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? The OHMs I run currently.Which model exactly is better depends mostly on room size, not cost. | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... "The fact that an amplifier may or may not 'double down' really says nothing about its sound."That depends.It does not define the sound however it can help deliver the best results especially in teh low end in practice with many speakers with diff... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems The BC ref1000m monoblocks I use have damping factor spec of 1000 I believe.I use them with Dynaudio monitors and OHM Walsh speakers.The OHMs in particular have a reputation as benefiting from high damping so this is something I sought specificall... | |
| Do people buy MAC gear for the blue meters Of course. Many do.I love the look of Mac gear! | |
| Best amplifier and preamp for klipsch heresy 3 I was just thinking I bet a Jolida FX10 integrated could make some very nice music on the HEresies for less than $500.I heard this unit at a show driving a pair of Nola monitors and it was making some very good music! DRiving teh Klipsch should be... |
