| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I’ve found that ability to sound good in rooms that are more challenging for whatever reason to be particular strength of the OHM Walshes. They can work surprisingly well close to walls and corners I find, as advertised, especially when compared t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'd expect original Walsh 4's to have more output capability and ability to deliver in a larger room.2.2000s not as much but be better in detail clarity imaging (result of newer 2000 driver) and maybe tonality top to bottom in a suitable smaller r... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? That is some news. Would love to go but would be a challenge. We’ll see.Have never met John in person either that I know of, but would really like to. He was owner of Tech Hifi chain back when I worked there in college. That was where I had my fir... | |
| CD ripping Melco sounds interesting. Had not heard of them. | |
| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time Of course it is. It's about rock and roll.Oops, sorry forgot, rock is dead. That would explain the coolness. | |
| Love for music shatter by highend equipment It happens.I'm with agear on this. | |
| Active studio monitors anyone? Active near field monitors just another valid way to enjoy music if ones situation and preferences lean that way. Lot's of good things may not be "audiophile" approved. I wouldn't worry about it. Just do it right and all will be fine. | |
| How did you choose your equipment? Ah yes, the old "chicken sh-ts on the picture of the hifi toy" trick! Works every time! | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? MY wife re-arranged the furniture in her cathedral ceiling sun-room. What a tweak! Now it sounds exactly the way it should!There is now a rattan sofa between the OHM Walsh speakers along the wall and fairly close to corners that is 70% windows. Im... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Lance,I’ve been running the Dynaudio monitors of late in the room where my smaller OHMs were, off the same Bel Canto c5i.It’s amazing how different the Dynaudios in particular sound in there. More similar to the OHMs there, still a touch warm but ... | |
| Retooling the system upward?? What speakers would be a major upgrade over GET model 7's? You sound like a good candidate for these perhaps depending on your exact goals in "moving up".http://ohmspeaker.com/ | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass Dynaudio a great choice. Excellent quality speakers that will never sound too cold but rather anywhere from to neutral to a TAD warm depending on what is fed to them. Gotta have an amp up top the task of driving them optimally though for best res... | |
| CD ripping Also if you do need other formats of existing lossless files you could look at using a batch conversion program to create the files in an alternate format. that would be much faster than re-ripping | |
| CD ripping No need to re-rip probably if the lossless variant of the format has been used and the format works for all your devices needed. | |
| CD ripping dbpoweramp can help guarantee 100% accurate rip if possible.Poor quality or dirty CDs will result in taking longer to rip but if accurate rip is on the results will be the same each time. It should not matter in the end for rip quality (as opposed... |
