| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BAtch,Having cut my teeth pairing OHMs and other speakers with many vintage receivers years ago at Tech Hifi, I think you can do a lot better soundwise with the new OHMs than you can with any vintage receiver.SIngle unit receivers generally have t... | |
| Fuses that matter. "I really don't understand what drives some people."I can only speak for myself. In my case, in a thread like this, what drives me is to help get all the facts out on the table so people can make their own educated decisions. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "How would these compare to DecWare ERR Radials? Are there other similar designs out there?"Have not heard the DECWares to compare but from what I read, the design seems closest to some of the smaller OHM Walsh CLS perhaps as anything I have seen.... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "My opinion is with the Ohm's, the more power-as long as it is good clean power and you are not overdriving your amp, the better."This is true though for smaller rooms it can become overkill at some point sooner. Look at power in reserve with the ... | |
| Fuses that matter. Kijanki,I hope for the benefit of the custom fuse owners that the makers of these care as much about making sure the fuses serve their primary function properly as a prerequisite to whatever specific they might do to make them "sound better", but ... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Wow, best in the world!I guess I would expect that for that kind of money, at least in most any room resembling anything normal.I'd like to try a shootout between my OHM 5s and those. On paper, they would seem to do all the same things well. ONly ... | |
| RIP: Doc Watson A true legend and one of my all time favorites! They don't mak'em like that anymore.Nobody made folk music sound better than doc watson imho. It just seemed to come naturally and flow, a rare thing indeed. | |
| Fuses that matter. Also geoffkait taking so much time to push the concept tells me to stay away. | |
| Fuses that matter. "Logically, what can we conclude from all of this evidence?"Some people hear differences with fuses that they like.That's about it. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "eargasms"So that's why I like these so much! :-) | |
| Best FM antenna around $50 I had a GOdar and sold it finding it not even as good as a basic dipole indoors, and harder to position for omni reception.A Godar might fit into your space outdoors well as best I can tell from your description, but I believe it is designed for i... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? "Truly great speakers result only when a great pair of ears work with a great brain in tandem."Bingo! | |
| Fuses that matter. "hen I decided to clean and apply Progold to every contact in the system, including the contacts on the power cords and IEC inlets. Now THAT was audible. "When it comes to electronics, especially contacts, clean/conductive is always good. Nothing ... | |
| Fuses that matter. In the words of the immortal Dr. Zachary Smith:" Oh dear! We're doomed! Doomed, I say!" | |
| all about pc and audio thoughts ... I use Windows Media Player (standard with Windows) to lossless .wav. .wav is the format most like what is used for CDs. Results are top notch. Automatic metadata tagging (album, artist names, cover art, etc.) works well mostly though classical CDs... |
