| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The OHM is a unique design due largely to its use of the wave bending wide range Walsh driver. The omni presentation combined with ability to be placed relatively close to walls if needed is probably the most unique feature.Second is the wide rang... | |
| Prog Rock More recent 21st century albums by the flaming lips like embryonic and yoshimi may have appeal. | |
| Are you a Verificationist about audio? Interesting thread. I'd say i both am and i am not. It depends. However we formulate our models of how things work, they are often abstracted models that typically only deal with factors that matter to each of us. Some possibly many details are om... | |
| Fuses that matter. People waste way more money on way worse things than fuses I suppose.I sold 100s if not thousands of fuses to people at Radio Shack years ago. I often also replaced them for people when their stuff did not work. 3 for 99 cents was the price I reca... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I bought my first Walsh 2s in 1982.Circa 1986 or so, when I got a real job and some money, I started a fling with Magnepans and kept both until about 3 years ago. I also added a pair of B&W P6s and Triangle Titus along the way in that my house... | |
| Headphones? Anyone? I have done a lot of headphone research and some listening of late.Its very hard to choose on paper these days other than style maybe. So many good ones and headphone preference is a very personal thing.I really like the Klipsch phones I have hear... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "What do the MWTs most resemble as far as headphone brand/style?"Probably the more neutral sounding ones with flatter frequency response, which I have seen several models of the brands you mention have been measured to achieve.But its is really ha... | |
| Fuses that matter. "fact that these fuses have not been tested or approved by any agency, wouldn't matter."The buyer should get the fuse for discounted price compared to standard then since fuse might not even do the thing it was designed to do properly, which is bl... | |
| Fuses that matter. "Everyone's happy but especially the guy who made a huge profit on a cheap placebo tweak."Frankly, I don't think I would be happy at that point knowing that the fruit of such dealings was now in my signal path, even if it sounds just fine. | |
| Fuses that matter. Oh, as long as the fancy expensive fuse does not sound WORSE than the standard, most are not likely to return it even if they can. Its a $30 insurance policy essentially. No problem. Except the seller made a huge profit for nothing. Everyone's hap... | |
| Fuses that matter. Haven't done the math but would not surprise me if a fuse directly in the signal path in a speaker like Magnepan is more significant in terms of resistance than in an amp say and would therefore have a better chance of making a discernible differe... | |
| Another reason why I like my music server Kijanki,I am with you on all points. Keeping computer as isolated as possible from the audio gear is the best place to be.Also with wireless no physical connection between the potentially noisy computer and audio source. Not sure how much that mat... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? Maybe its a left/right side of the brain kind of thing? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? RBF,The Radiohead CDs are a very good test to determine if an amp is underpowered for your needs. They will sound like c--- on a poor and/or underpowered system, especially at higher volume, but a good system can take them to great heights indeed! | |
| Fuses that matter. "Me? No. But my wife does. Her financial interest is that I stop buying them."Bryon, you are too funny!"For my ears they clearly and without any question remove "gray noise" across the Spectron from high frequencies to low - making sound much more... |
