| Amplifier advice from Ohm Walsh 100 Mk. II owners Tao,My pleasure.Good luck with the project.Marty | |
| Amplifier advice from Ohm Walsh 100 Mk. II owners Incidentally, if you use a single source, the current version (I think) offers attenuation - so you (technically) don't need a preamp (tho you might still want one).You might want to check w/TAD to be sure on this point.Marty | |
| Amplifier advice from Ohm Walsh 100 Mk. II owners The Hibachis work well with Ohm 100s and are dirt cheap right now ($650/pr direct from TAD, last I looked). I can assure you from personal experience that this combo works well. However, the TADs are on the warmish side for SS amps, and they're no... | |
| Amplifier advice from Ohm Walsh 100 Mk. II owners If you like to listen loud, you'll need more juice than the Brio can supply. The Rogue might or might not work out well, but I suspect the other 2 would be fine.In my 15 X 23 room (similar ceiling), the 122 WPC ARC VT130SE does fine for my needs, ... | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection Here's a few on my list, Jennifer Warnes always sounds very, very good to my ear, especially on "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "The Hunter".Allen Toussaint's recent "Bright Mississippi" is a great record that sounds great, too.The Duke Ellington Small... | |
| Endless debate: monitor + sub vs floorstanding Marburg,I do believe that your "hungry timber wolf" post of 4/8 may be the new champion in the long running Audiogon "most colorful language" contest. IMHO, it would displace the (hotly debated) use of the word "cudgel" (as a verb) by Jax2 from so... | |
| Magneplanar 1.7s to Recruit New Audiophile? Personally, I'd go with an MMG/subwoofer combo. Whatever the cost to the "purist" audiophile approach may be, the extended, smooth bass of the subs and the placement flexibility of the smaller Maggies is likely -IMHO- to more than justify it.The t... | |
| need help choosing a mid bass sub for a diy You might want to chat with the guys at Rythmik, in Texas. IIRC, they started out in the DIY space and are nice, helpful folks who can probably offer you some good advice.Good LuckMarty | |
| Which speaker has the biggest sound stage? Sorry, misread the OP. Please disregard the above. | |
| Which speaker has the biggest sound stage? MBL 101 is the runaway champ IME. Ohms do a great job, too. | |
| Perfect Debute Albums Coffee's mention of Eels reminded me of E and his solo debut "A Man Called E". Much less mannered than Eels (so maybe less interesting to some), but utterly pure pop/rock songwriting in the vein of The Beatles. Along with his other solo effort, "B... | |
| What is your favorite tv theme song/composition? Drew Carey used "5 O'Clock World" for a while. Obviously not an original, but a tune for the ages. Those opening choreographed scenes were IMHO the best part of a very good sitcom.Marty | |
| Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko? Mcrosier,I always had it the other way 'round. I think (not sure tho) that Jock-a-Mo was the original Sugar Boy Crawford song and the Dixie Cups covered it using the Iko Iko title. I vaguely remember reading about a My Sweet Lord/She's So Fine sty... | |
| Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko? Okay,Now that I got the song right....The best known version (I believe) is Professor Longhair's. I also love Zachary Richard's take. Warren Zevon used to play it live (not sure he ever recorded it) and - for something a little different - try Cin... | |
| Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko? Achilles,Not sure here, but I'd asssume that you're referring to the old New Orleans classic "Jock-A-Mo". It's been covered by most of that N'awlins Blues crew - notably Dr. John. James Booker does a great version, too. Since I can't summon the De... |
