HDCDs from China?
I agree with Rja. Half of the Beatles collection on HDCD gold discs for $9.95 just doesn't seem right. I have difficulty believing they have legal license for these recordings. 
Audiophile Terms?? I need a dictonary
What is PHAT?

Unsound,The Model I speaker that he's going to upgrade is a conventional speaker system. It has a 12" subwoofer, 8" midwoofer, a 2" tweeter and (2) 1" tweeters in a cabinet. Check them out under "Older Models" at ohmspeakers.com. The upgrades for ...

Best overall Speakers for $2,500.00 or less, New?
I second the OHM Acoustics speakers. They don't come up used very often, but you may be able to get a pair of Walsh 5 MkII speakers for $2500 used.Rick 
Ohm I speaker upgrade??
I have had a pair of Model I speakers since I bought them new in 1980. They still remain my primary audio room speakers driven by Odyyssey Extreme Monoblocks and an Odyssey Tempest preamp. I upgraded my drivers through Ohm Acoustics last year, and... 
Jolida 100 or Music Hall CD25
I have both. I much prefer the sound of the Jolida over the Music Hall. That being said, the Music Hall has slightly greater extention both high and low. Not so much that it is readily noticeable.Compared to the MH25, the Jolida is more musical. J... 
Best female vocals on CD
I really like Vienna Teng. 
CDP-Tube Suggestions
Try to find NOS Sylvania 5751, triple mica black plate or Sylvania Gold Brand 3 mica grey plates. They made a big difference in my Jolida, nice and warm! Hard to find, but worth the expense and effort IMO. Good Luck!Rick 
Power Cords for Parasound PLD-2000 Preamp?
Hi Lanny,If you are using the PLD-2000 stock cord, call Parasound and order a replacement cord for the HCA-2205AT 5 Channel Amp. It is a nice thick 12 guage cord, and it sounds real good with the PLD-2000. Cost is $55 plus shipping ($3). The PLD-2... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Ohm Acoustic Model I, 4-way, very powerful and articulate speakers. I haven't heard very many other speakers, and none that are considered to be "hi-end", so I cannot compare the sound. I purchased them new in 1980 for $1500, drove them for 21 yea... 
Has anyone heard Ohm Acoustics 300 MK-2
Rich,The upstairs room I had them in is about 14' wide and 25' long with suspended hardwood floors, no rugs. Now I have them downstairs in the HT room which is 13' wide by 25' long, tile over concrete. I use a Parasound HCA-2200II to drive them. I... 
Has anyone heard Ohm Acoustics 300 MK-2
I have a pair of the Ohm Walsh 5 MK-2, which is basically the same speaker as the 300, but with switches to "adjust" the sound a bit. The Walsh 5/300 is a large floor stander, make sure they will fit in your room. I believe they would sound best o... 
Pre amp for Parasound 2200 II
Timo,Thanks for your response. How about if I raise the price to $1500 (used)? Any ideas about a better preamp? Anyone?Rick 
Ohm Walsh speakers; Anyone have any experience
I have had a couple of pair of the newer "Walsh" designs by Ohm, both purchased used on Audiogon. The first pair were Ohm 4X0 cabinets that had been upgraded with the newer Walsh 200 MK2 drivers. The second pair are the newer Walsh 5 Mk2 speakers,...
