| Good Country recordings Chatta, yes, it was in like-new condition. The store had two of them actually for that price. I thought it was too good to be true at first.I suspect there is a glut of Johnny Cash stuff out there these days that affects the asking price. His stuf... | |
| Cambridge 840C Azur through a Bryston BDA-1 DAC? I think it might be different but not necessarily better. I've heard the Cambridge in some very good systems and it was audibly not a weak link. Not the most expensive, exotic or sexiest piece out there, but a very good performer regardless. | |
| Should I avoid thick vinyl? Only if they do not sound good. | |
| Elvis Presley Fans? I've been listening to a lot of old Sun Records recordings from the 50s lately, including Elvis and various other acts.Elvis' vocalizations and arrangements are unique and recognizable, but no better or worse than the others for the most part.Now,... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman,Good signs indeed!"So, two discs, the same signal chain, and two very different results.

| Speakers for bad rock recordings OHM Walsh speakers will bring out the best in most recordings, including those that are deficient to start. | |
| Looking for new speakers? How big is the room? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman,Fun stuff!Sounds like you're on the right track. Getting a solid foundation to sit on is of course important for clean bass. I suspect also settings for best integration with the sub might change over time as the OHMs break in and as you r... | |
| How do you listen to your music? Mostly off the music server of late. I burn CDs to the server prior to listening usually rather than pop them in the player. Then, I often put selected cuts on random play off the server so I do not know what is coming next. A good way to listen t... | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? Yes, and seemingly more often early in the day than late at night when they might disturb others who are sleeping. |
