| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... I heard a lot of good ones in 2011. One that stands out (from late 2010 actually)was "Brain Wilson Re-imagines Gershwin". It is pretty successful as a modern interpretation of Gershwin with Wilson's unique flair applied. Sounds great and an easy a... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 100 Series 3 Speaker With one of my Bel Canto ref1000m monoblocks in for some servicing, I have been running the TAD 125 Hibachi monoblocks in my main rig with the OHM Walshes now for about a week.Gotta say that the TADs have performed much better than I expected even... | |
| Squeezbox Touch USB or SPDIF? Agree with the "Wolf" man. | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k I often wonder, in general, when one buys an expensive esoteric audio product, does one typically get comprehensive and extended service included with the purchase? Or do the service bills reflect the cost of the product bought bringing up the TCO... | |
| If I Haven't Added Music, Should I Still Back up? A good backup program will run periodicaly and only back up new or changed files automatically.The Seagate USB drives I use came with a good backup program already installed that does this and works well. I'm sure there are others. | |
| Your perfectly produced/performed studio rock song "The Theme from Shaft"That's a good one! There is a good version on one of the Stax Anthology CDs. Really sounds good!Bohemian Rhapsody (though over-played on classic rock radio) too. | |

| Efficient speakers with high powered ss amp? "you never know what it will sound like until you try it "That is undeniably true.After a while, with some experience, there should be fewer surprises though. | |

| Your perfectly produced/performed studio rock song "One Tin Soldier" by Coven? | |
| Movies/TV Shows Look like Video DG,I'm joking of course.My background is in digital image processing.Just trying to make sure the old fashioned audio purists out there that poo poo extra circuits in their audio gear aren't asleep..... | |
| Movies/TV Shows Look like Video We don't need tone controls on audio gear, so why should our TVs have picture quality controls? It mucks with the signal. I say do away with them and bask in all natural video. BEtter yet, do away with high res digital TVs and go back to nice crea... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" If it sounds good it is good. | |
| Need Hi Eff, Omni-directional Speakers OHMs might sound nice and the price could be right but are not hi eff and 15 tube watts alone may not do them justice. Adding a well integrated powered sub might work if it were needed. | |
| What more possibly could they offer consumers? More electronic home entertainment options is probably the last thing most American families really need, not that it matters. |
