| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman,I suspect there are still ways to bring the cost down.You can pick up used OHMs with good cabinets on Ebay or here and get them upgraded.Or you can pick up up to two pair of used OHMS cheap that meet OHMs trade-in requirements (in general,... | |
| wyred4sound amps I don't know for certain but some have indicated Class D amps take some time to break in. Something to consider when evaluating if true. | |
| McCartney Live? Chash,I cannot argue with your description of an artist.I am also a big Dylan fan and greatly appreciate what he has accomplished artistically over the last 10 years in particular. But I do not see much of a practical difference between them as pe... | |
| McCartney Live? Paul seems comfortable these days with his role as ambassador of the Beatles legacy. I think I read recently that his cumulative #1 record sales both with and post Beatles establishes him (not Michael Jackson) as the most popular recording act of ... | |
| McCartney Live? The concert was quite fabulous.McCartney and his band played for almost 3 hours straight.One acquaintance who has seen him 8-9 times over the years said this was the best.The focus was largely on his more popular Beatles songs, and the more rockin... | |
| McCartney Live? Well, the McCartney concert is in the books.I'll post more shortly. Suffice it for now to say he did not play "Liverpool Oratorio"....... | |
| McCartney Live? Ever hear the 'Liverpool Oratorio'.Nope. Passed on that one.I think McCartney is the type who composed best with a collaborator. Lennon is his best known collaborator but he did well with Denny Laine and Linda McCartney as well when motivated.The ... | |
| McCartney Live? Chashmal,I understand your point.Personally I lost interest in his new stuff in the early 1980s for the most part. He has had lots of good output as a solo artist more in the pop rather than rock vein through post 1970. I suspect he is also still ... | |
| McCartney Live? "I see him as a has-been and a hack"Definitely not a "hack" as I understand it.Has been?How many rock era music figures will be well known 100 years or so from now, like Bach, Beethoven or Mozart today?I'd wager Paul McCartney will be one. | |
| McCartney Live? Yes, I think that clip is on the Beatles Anthology DVD set somewhere. I will likely break that out again for the first time in awhile after tomorrow.I'll probably be "NA NA NA"ing along with everybody else there tomorrow. | |
| DACs and reproduced sound Dangelod,I believe that is true in the case of the Benchmark, but is not always the case in that not all DACs reclock data. Assuming a low end player relative to the BEnchmark, or also perhaps even just a poor connection from the digital source to... | |
| DACs and reproduced sound Yes, the job of the DAC is to take the 1's and 0's which are the digital building blocks needed to construct an analog waveform and construct it. Its like building with Legos. The bits (1s and 0s) are the lego blocks. The DAC is the device that ta... | |
| Has anyone ever switched to Harbeth "My Dyns had to play loud to sound their best.. "I have Contour 1.3mkIIs. They also sound best with some volume. My Triangles and OHM Walshs are probably better at very low volumes. | |
| Has anyone ever switched to Harbeth Well, if its just that you are bored at least you will be trying something significantly different sounding from what I have heard.Here's a link to a system thread here where the owner switched from a nice pair of Dyn Confidence to Harbeth that dr... | |
| McCartney Live? My gut feel is that he would not tour anymore if he was not able to meet peoples high expectations. Everybody I talk to indicates he does just that. I am not a fan of concerts in large outdoor stadiums generally. Haven't been to one like this in 3... |
