| Omnis with deep bass $2K I remember EPIs. They were pretty good for the day and a good value. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond,From what I can tell from the specs, 45amps, 150w into 8 OHm and 2 ohm load stable are all good indicators for good performance driving complex loads like the OHMs. | |
| Wither Jimmy Page? Page is/was one of the most innovative blues/rock guitar ARTISTS with Zeppelin and ws an irreplaceable part of that group. Emphasis on ARTIST. He did things with Zeppelin that no body else thought of or did at the time, as did the group as a whole... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 5000s. Nice!They supposedly use new drivers and are more efficient, so power parameters for optimal performance might be different and I would expect less demanding.Please keep us posted. I have not heard any user feedback on these new drivers yet. | |
| has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo Mostly, yes. I'm still of the opinion that the design is a very good one. if you like the sound of the DAC, it should work well.I'm not convinced yet that, other than support for higher resolution, it is leaps and bounds above other player or in p... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high "I see the resell prices of used products showing the real value of a product. A lot of high end products take substantial equity hits on the used markets"nO DOUBT. | |
| speakers that rock I've never actually heard them, but my understanding is that the very hard to find OHM Is with built in sub could rock the foundations. According to the OHM site, these were perhaps the most kick--s OHMS ever. | |
| has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo Shazam,I was under the impression that most optical drives, audio or computer, do rereads of data normally when errors are detected? I didn't think most modern CD players were one pass only because frankly there would seem to be no reason for them... | |
| Best set up for 78's ? Zowie, interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing! | |
| Wither Jimmy Page? Artists or any craftsmen who do adapt, manage to stay relevant, and hone their crafts into their later years are to be admired. They get "it", whatever "it" is, and they know that "it" seldom stays put for long. | |
| Best set up for 78's ? Zowie, thanks for all that useful information.I'd have to say my best current reference for how good or bad old 78 recordings might sound is some of the early period tracks on the Ken Burns Jazz CD box set. I listen to these regularly on my good s... | |
| Wither Jimmy Page? It's surely easier to live on the cutting edge of a genre like rock when you're young.Many classic rock artists have managed to evolve their music and hone their craft effectively though as they "live and learn". The Moody Blues are often acclaime... | |
| speakers that rock What is the rest of the system?I'd look at PSB Synchrony series, refurbed OHM Hs, or the biggest OHM Walshes you can find that fits your room, but you will need a juicier amp for the Walshes. | |
| Omnis with deep bass $2K "ohm 100's, for the dough, are bullet proof. "Must be the metal cage! | |
| Omnis with deep bass $2K I'd point out that OHMS are pseudo omnis (360 degrees but not equal tonality/SPLs in all directions) and that the wide-range Walsh driver technology is a big part of what makes them special.Otherwise, the only other omni/wide dispersion design I c... |
