Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's?
Frogman an interesting assessment as usual.Of course these are pop singers we are talking about. Also a fairly young one still with Adele. I’ll be willing to bet this unfortunate event will make her even better in the future. The best have learned... 
Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?
Yes, whatever.tbg its a good thing Roger has you as a translator.  What you said and what he said seem like two totally different things relating to speed of waves.An interesting discussion. True innovations speak for themselves over time. Like th... 
Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians!
I would also rather hear Lemmy sing his stuff than anyone else. Its a unique though technically flawed instrument as well.Then of course there is the case of the man Johnny Cash himself.  Often a great but limited and flawed vocalist who probably ... 
Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians!
The Byrds did wonderful versions of Dylan songs.  Can't think of any other Dylan covers I enjoy as much as Dylan's.Dylan's is a case of an effective voice.   Not good at all rally technically.  He's also not a great musician either some in the kno... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
"I just happen to have two of them sitting in a closet within 5 ft of my listening room. "Now that's what I call fate!

"The way to do this is to make sure the your gear delivers the (musical information) to you at the same speed as it traveled through the air at the time of the recording."If its just the amp we are talking about, the speed of the electric signal/w... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Let us know how the subdudes work out. Should take things up a few levels still I suspect. They did for me. Exact same true with Isoacoustics brand isolating stands I use with small monitors in another similar room. I’ve used those with my Triangl... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
accurus I love the rigorous examination you are giving the OHMS!  It helps confirm a lot of what I have been saying over the years.I feel like with the right size OHMs for a room,   a good quality source, and the right amplification to drive them ... 
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...

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.

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.

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...
