| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Coot, are you using CD resolution music files as the source? Anything higher or lower resolution? Do you hear a clear difference in all these cases? | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Clearly, there is enough uncertainty around on both sides of most "next best tweak" debates, including this one, to warrant multiple opinions and viewpoints.THe truth usually falls in the middle somewhere with this kind of thing. The middle can be... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Coot,The USB cable difference is interesting.What kind of USB cable did the new cable replace? I have heard clains from knowledgeable sources that USB cables can make a big difference, but its not something that I really understand the how or why ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz The solution to anyone who challenges ones beliefs is not for them to just go away, but rather defend one's position.No matter how strongly one believes anything, that alone does not make it so. | |
| Your favourite recording label? Will also concur on Concord though based on a limited sample to-date. Its a label I have plans to add more of over time. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz It's a safe bet that there is a concrete relationship between magnetism and electricity. Any electromagnet is proof that the relationship exists. How to apply it in reverse exactly in teh interest of "better sound quality" is beyond me, but its a ... | |

| Your favourite recording label? Threads like this are useful.As I get older, I find I tend to have less allegiance to individual acts and look for ways to find new music/performances I might like. One way is to put ones trust in certain labels/brands and go from there. | |

| Anyone into cassettes? Mid-late 70's AIWA cassette decks were very good performers with good build quality and looked great. The AD6550 I had specifically was gorgeous and stacked up quite well against Tandberg in a/b tests back then. I was a poo college student and cou... | |
| How do Ohm Walsh speakers compare to Maggies? " Suggestions that the "inside" driver is far from the original concept and is actually quite "cheap" nowadays and poorly made.""Cheap" and "poorly" made comments have no basis other than audiophile snobbery. Every OHm Walsh I have ever owned goes... | |
| Speaker grills I build and tune my systems to sound right with grills on. Grills stay on for both aesthetic and protective reasons. Various grill designs will inevitably attenuate various frequencies, especially the higher ones to some degree, but between initia... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? "you would think at these prices, High- end Audio would be more reliable"I would expect that, not just think it. | |
