| Best FM antenna around $50 I have the Godar which works well. It costs about $50. It is directional but does a decent job pulling in other stations not in its line.http://www.godarusa.com/id67.html | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I had the Micros in the past (loved them), then the 100 (loved those too) and now the 3000. Really love them.You need to give the Ohms at least 25 hours to start breaking in. Before that they will sound congested, no soundstage, ie, the sound is s... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Ohm loudspeakers. After owning/reviewing ~40 pairs of speakers in 40 years, the Ohms did it for me. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State Ive been there and for many years (about 15) I listened exclusively to tubes. 6550, 5881, 300B, EL-84. IT was fun...kind of. There was always the issues of re-tubing and finding decent tubes. It got to the point where I just wanted to listen to m... | |
| Symposium Ultra vs SRA Ive used both under my amps (Audiomat Tempo and MC-252) and very much prefer the Symposium. | |
| In defense of quantum products. Getting back to the OP in quantum products, heres my 2 cents worth. I started messing with tweaks back in the late 70s. My first tweak were the Discwasher Gold-ends which were interconnects with gold plated RCAs and a better wire. Egads! ... | |
| Speaker for Yamaha AS2000 Id recommend the Ohm 4000 at $5500. The Ohms simply do everything right, arent sensitive to room placement and unlike the older Walsh series, are not difficult to drive. Your AS2000 will easily drive them. In the past 40 years Ive owned/reviewe... | |
| Buy new CDP or just add a newer DAC? Thanks for the input. Now which DACs should I consider? My budget is limited to | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman. What ICs do you like with the Ohms? I had been using LAT ICs and speaker wire with nice sound. | |
| Best isolation under a big receiver ? If you dont want to spring for a Symposium platform. I like a hard maple platform with cones under the component. Ive found it opens up the sound while enhancing detail. | |
| integrated amp suggestions solid state SIM is a fine amp. If you like the sonics, look for a larger SIM integrated. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Correction. Im getting the 3000. speakers. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Congrats on your find. I remember the Ohms from my college days in the early/mis 70s too, but all I could afford were the EPI 150s.I think stabilizing the Ohms whichever way you can will help the performance. I used a Symposium knock-off under my ... | |
| Best real world radial / omidirectional speaker Ill make another vote for the Ohms for all the reasons Bondmanp and Mapman listed, plus room placement is not too finicky and they handle all types of music very well. | |
| What's your profession? Age? 57 yoa. Audio since 15. I’m the restless sort and never stuck to one profession. Army infantry paratrooper(82 ABN), cop, chiropractor, fraud investigator, and now a teacher. It’s been fun. We adopted 6 yr old twins 6 yrs ago and are presently adop... |
