| Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians! Most vocalists are mediocre pretty much by definition compared to the best.Many mediocre, and even technically poor vocalists still have the "it" factor to be a "star" and over the years typically get set up with the the most talented musicians av... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Many know I am a fan of Walsh driver technology, the innovation of Lincoln Walsh many years ago. its worth reading up on that.Walsh drivers operate on a wave bending principle. Rainbows occur essentially due to wave bending.So there is something t... | |
| Can you believe this? I believe it. Good sound is a team sport. A good component from years past now gets to play with modern day improved teammates so there is a very good chance it may sound better than ever. | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Well why doesn't roger just say that then. It at least makes sense and is understandable. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Accurus sounds like a very good setup. Both pair of ohms I own are refurbs. I also have Dynaudio monitors with great sound and very high quality cabinets. Others as well. But the Ohms get most of my listening time for just the thing you cite... | |
| Just moved to an apartment need speaker suggestions Getting speakers that can be set up properly for best sound matters most even in an apartment. | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? I have been a computer programmer for 30 years. Talking about out subroutines and objects in the context of an analog electrical device may be a nice analogy but serves little purpose except to muddy the waters with tech talk IMHO. Having read... | |
| Just moved to an apartment need speaker suggestions Anything will sound better and be less prone to disturbing neighbors if you place the, on isolating stands or platforms | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Also I will say the tonality of the ohms is very dependent on the signal fed it. I've done tweaks like wires and minor wall treatments to fine tune the sound. Also had to switch amps twice since replacing my Maggie's in order to get things rig... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Not sure what can be done about image height to make more like tall planers. Dispersion pattern is much different. Two different beasts in that regard. YOu can experiment with toe out perhaps in order to get more direct exposure from the tweete... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Why do you talk about subroutines when all analog? Makes no sense. | |
| vintage speakers I had given mine away to my sister who used them for many years. One days I noticed the rotted surrounds gave her a different pair and took them back to maybe fix up.For those whose systems have improved and evolved overall over time, you really h... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Very sticky situation. Hopefully gets resolved in a constructive manner for all involved. I'm very interested to hear how it turns out. | |
| vintage speakers The other day I finally I re-foamed an old pair of Boston A40 Series ii speakers that I bought 30 years ago and had sitting idle and put those into my system as an experiment. What a nice surprise! These still sound very competitive in their c... | |
| Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design?? "Reviews of omnis frequently mention that "you won’t get pinpoint imaging" as you would with mini-monitors or whatnot, but overwhelmingly, you don’t get pinpoint imaging in live performances either unless the ensemble is small and you’re sitting f... |
