| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BlueR,Theoretically, there is probably little if any practical sonic difference attributable between damping of 300 versus 1000. The consensus seems to be that most speaker wire electrical properties alone negate any differences once damping passe... | |
| Interconnects Roller Coaster Ride By wires, I mean the ICs that are/were the OPs prime suspect.May or may not be power related and/or anything else at this point. I'd definitely try to rule out tube issues up front unless I knew for sure all tubes in play are working as they should. | |

| Most expensive piece of vinyl you acquired is? I payed $15-$20 recently for certain hard to find Moody Blues member solo albums used and in excellent condition.I have a lot of albums and still but many used but only for the right price. Older, hard to find and out of print titles still in good... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Willie,Congrats on a very well thought out and practical approach for exploring these waters!My only question would be why is it that a more expensive fuse is needed to do better over what you started with? There may be some other very well constr... | |
| Interconnects Roller Coaster Ride I am very confident it's not the wires.If the pattern repeats itself at regular listening intervals, most likely it is your ears picking up on something that is not right after a certain period of time. The new ICs may just be enabling this to a g... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? ALso I should note that the benefits of higher damping with the OHMs may be most apparent with the bass, but higher frquencies including all frequencies up to 7Khz or so handled by the vertically mounted Walsh driver part of the OHM CLS benefit wi... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? JWC,Higher damping and higher power are two different beasts, though the two might go hand in hand practically in many cases.My experience with the larger OHM 5s is that they benefit from both high damping and high power and high current as well. ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm reading Crown XLS amp IS Class D. Don't know much more about them though. Might be a good value + worth a try. Crown is mostly used for pro audio applications these days but home audio use should be possible. They use older Crown amps at my gy... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I am convinced that there is more to the Class D amp sound I hear with the OHMs than power and current alone accounts for. There is a tube amp-like aspect to the amps ability to go loud without causing fatigue or overall brightness. I have read (i... | |
| D-Sonic peak current output compared to other That ETM article seems to ring true to me based on my experiences to date, including with Class D switching amps. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? TObe,Thanks for that info.Its a very intriguing combo or potentially adding more sibilence, definition, pierce and air, the things that are heard above 7-8Khz or so, to to the top end with the OHMs if one is looking for more of that than the built... | |
| Ref 3A Dulcets vs Vapor sound Kef ls50 worth consideration for about $1500. | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? In that case, I guess Brian Eno and maybe Philip Glass are likely to withstand the test. Or everything will be so abstract and generic by then that no artists of our generations whatsoever will any longer stand out. Kinda like most big box stores ... |
