Which songs or musical standards have haunted you?
How about "The Lonely Shepard" by Gheorghe Zamfir?

It’s kind of pointless to argue further on the subject of SQ and Mercury LPs or CDs as there are perfectly good reasons why you hear things as you describe, it doesn’t mean what I said is wrong. There are tons of MLP release reviews out on the web...

Gk if you are truly listening to MLP recordings on a walkman and headphones, I can pretty much assure you are missing something. That might explain your opinions on MLP. I’m trying to help you out here..... :^)

GK if you truly think that about the MLP Cds (I doubt the sincerity of most everything you say) then you may have gotten some bad copies (I have almost 100 and none are bad) or else you may need to check out your Walkman for issues.All releases ar...

I have 1st 50 cd MLP box set and all ripped at original resolution to music server.   It's a wonderful sounding set with top notch sound quality overall.  The sound quality  MLP is renowned for is there in spades.  Gk once again is spouting nonsen... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
t8 you would know best. . I would expect the two to have differences in sound to go along with the different driver size,  cabs and age. That’s about it.    If gen two rather than gen one then that is a step in teh right direction IMHO.

Just for the record, Gk and I are NOT like-minded.  :^) 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Interesting.The advantage of XO models (compared to other originals like 1,2,4,5) is that they are advertised easier to drive and more efficient which is certainly a factor that might influence results positively in many cases.I suspect they are l... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I think but am not certain that 4XOs are original gen 1 Walsh drivers like Walsh 2s but made a tad more efficient for easier mating to amps.I have not heard latest X000 generation but my working assumption is that most OHms gen II or later sound m...

Isn't that a form of segregation?

highstream how about this. I’ll make you happy and leave if everyone else who has listened and formed an opinion does too. Thing is if I let others chase me off, then those remaining get to further their claim (which has been made) that what is sa...

Which leads to a second observation, really a question: mapman, having come to your conclusion, why didn’t you move on? My results may or may not reflect those of others. Do yours?My mind is still open to learn. Is yours?

Atmasphere Almarg and perhaps some other respected EEs here have weighed in.     I’d offer an invitation for more EEs that might be out there to weigh in as well." Knowledge is a deadly friend If no one sets the rules. "

OP I know you are just joking but discounting engineers does not help. You’d have no sound at all in your home without them.Are you defending lack of information?
