| Periphery Ring I think it is expensive for what it is but worth it I guess if it makes things sound better. | |
| Speaker wires near AC wires Doesn't sound like anything to worry about to me.Running speaker wires parallel and very close to AC wires would be something to avoid perhaps if at all possible. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Haven't heard Mikado in years, but my first instinct would be to go with the classic D'Oyly Carte performances that were issued on stereo London records box sets back in the 50s or early 60's, I believe. Those are the ones I grew up with. Remaster... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? REbbe,Glad to hear about Dad.Does he like music? Let him listen to some stuff he likes your system if possible during recovery! | |
| Best CD The drum intro to "Hot For Teacher" by Van Halen is another good one for recognition factor for drums. Most people have only heard this on the radio or back on MTV in the 80's with crappy sound.Put it in a good system and crank it to realistic SPL... | |
| Best CD To show off what the system can do, various titles on Mercury Living Presence and Dorian labels in general and "Blue Moon Swamp" by John Fogerty for something more upbeat.Also, I have some cuts from several CDs by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir where... | |

| Thinking of moving to a Headphone system, thoughts Nearfield with a nice integrated would be my preference.I'd try Peachtree Decco with with either Magnepan mmgs, Triangle Titus or Comete, or OHM Micro Walsh talls. | |
| What amp are you using with your Gallo 3.1's? "As far as high current amps are concerned, at low volumes does it have much impact on the music?"Yes, that is exactly where it matters most."I am anxious to hear what you think of the Wyred 4 sound amps. I have been thinking about trying one myse... | |
| MBL 121 to full range speaker "Going back to the OHM comparison, as I've not familiar with their brand, how are they priced compared to similar performing MBL models? "~ $1000-$6000 depending mostly on target room size."Also, do they have a stand-out signature model like the 1... | |
| MBL 121 to full range speaker "I've never heard a speaker that projected instrumentation that sounded like it "floated in air" quite like the 101E did."Actually, the 111 setup I heard did this exceptionally well also, I thought. In particular with a reference reel-to-reel reco... | |
| MBL 121 to full range speaker "Don't know what causes #3, but the 101 is a monster dynamically"I suspect it is a combo of the radial woofer + sub that is unique to that model (and apparently also a major contributor to the cost relative to other models) | |
| I could cry Hey, as long as there is someone else to blame, what's the difference? | |
