| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Nice review, thank you very much taking the time! I owned the Ohm Walsh 2s for quite some time back in the early 80s thru the mid 90s. I agree that they had a great soundstage and were not very fussy about placement. They were not the last word in... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? >> Why wait till it's gummed up? And there is a good probability that there is stuff there that you can't see even with your microscope. <<Ok, Dan, for your edification, I'm going to type this VERY slowly so even you can understand it.... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? >> You may want to read some archived threads about the Mr Clean ME if you haven't...<<I haven't read the archived threads. However, several years ago, I purchased some ME from the local grocery store and shipped it to one of our UK-ba... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? Oh, I'm not upset, this isn't life or death after all. I just wish that folks would present some reasonable basis for opinions besides "I believe" or "I feel". Beliefs or feelings have nothing to do with the cleanliness of your stylus.It is quite ... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? >> Oh! So you're one of those sons of b****s that sold us that crap that clogged our records and stylii. And, when did you say before? <<Huh? Not sure what you are saying here, please explain. I sold expensive cartridges and gear to cl... | |
| Transfering CDs to iTunes FLAC. Am I missing....? John,You can convert Apple Lossless to FLAC using dbPowerAmp. This is an EXCELLENT program that does conversions from one file type to another. And, it costs only $14. You can download a free trial version off the 'Net.One very cool feature is tha... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? Cleaning the stylus twice for playing an album is *very* excessive. Unless your records are incredibly grimy, you can easily go 5-10 albums before cleaning again. This will cut your costs dramatically and your stylus will stay plenty clean. Your c... | |
| Extreme low budget amp w phono & "reputation"? There is a Tandberg 3012 integrated on Audiogon for $395, perhaps the seller would deal a bit. This is an *outstanding* integrated with a very good phono section:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?intatran&1206826733Also, Yamaha A960 - *ve... | |
| Which new OPPO DVD player is the one to get? Ooooops! My bad. Sorry about that - that's what I get for going with (my obviously failing) memory. In any event, these are very good players for very little coin. However, it appears I also lied about the Faroudja processing, only the 981 uses th... | |
| Which new OPPO DVD player is the one to get? It depends upon your needs and equipment, the HM-31 is not a player, it is a switch. The 980 and 981 are similar except the 981 has HDMI connection for video instead of Component. They also have Analog outs for multi-channel audio playback. Both o... | |

| Gallo 3.1 Mains...What for the surrounds-Center Good luck, Steve! Any way you go, you're still gonna have that great Gallo sound. *Do* keep an eye out for a Due (or 3). Tell ya what, if I find a deal on one of the new Dues, I'll make ya a good deal on my Center - the ol' trickle down philosophy... | |
| finalists in the big speaker search I realize that most folks have offered NEW suggestions for your list. I will not go against the tide [smile]. I have to think that, when looking at speakers around the 2k price point, it's almost mandatory to audition the Gallo Reference 3.1. They... | |
