| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Hi mapman. Thanks for asking. I love these speakers, but a surprise impending divorce forces me generate cash right now. I'm also trying to sell Grado cart ai love. And I may have to sell the Yamaha M-85, which I'm trying to forestall. When all th... | |
| Best Phono Preamp under $300 ? The original Musical Surroundings Phonomena sells used for $250-$325. Nothing can touch it among these budget units. I tried a CA 640P and it was a decent little unit, but.... The Phonomena sounds worlds better (clean, quiet, fast as can be) and p... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I spoke to John at Ohm about the new speakers. Having picked up a pair of 100S3s about 8 months ago, I was concerned/interested in the introduction of a newer line of speakers. Here's what I learned from him the 100S3 falls in-between the new 1... | |
| Opinions on Blu-ray with a 480p DLP projector? John_Z,I also have an Optoma H31 and have been wondering the same thing, so good question. Unfortunately, Kennyt did not answer it. For me, if I had three thousand dollars, I wouldn't have to wonder about blu-ray on my $650 H31!I hope someone else... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'd been happily running the 100S3s for 7 months with my Cayin TA-30 tube integrated, at 35wpc. In earlier posts to this thread (much earlier!) I stated that I found the power fine and dandy for these speakers. And I did -- they sounded quite enga... | |
| Shahinian and Ohm I've had 100 S3s for about 5 months now, in a 12x15x7.5 room. I'm perfectly satisfied driving them with a Cayin TA-30, which is rated as 35wpc of tube power. When I get the chance to blast them I can't go past noon on the volume control. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 01-14-09: RebbiWinegasman,Good to hear! And you are happy with how the tube amp drives the speaks? There had been talk here earlier that the Ohms preferred SS gear.Actually, I don't think speakers can prefer anything; only we can. I have no idea h... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm running my new 100s with a 35 WPC Cayin TA-30 in a 12x15 room and it's plenty of power -- it gets the 100s playing loud and deep and clean. Perhaps I am missing that last low end 1/2 octave or 2, but it's certainly sounds like I'm getting slam... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi,Good choice! I'm enjoying my 100-s3s more and more every day, as they "break in." I find that they seem to do piano particularly well, with compelling realism in both the delicate upper register and palpable authority with the lower register... | |

I'm wondering if you've noticed the changes in tonal balance and imaging specificity that I have, in response to changing the speaker-to-speaker spread distance.Also your... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "If you want speakers that are etched, hyperanalytical or ultra-revealing, these probably won't float your boat. And it's because the Arros do lean more in those directions, I think, that this is such a difficult and interesting choice for me."I'v... | |
| Replacement headshell for Yamaha YP-D10 Gene,I'm a satisfied YP-D8 owner. About a month ago I finally pulled the trigger on the "Zupreme" headshell from lpgear. It's an excellent unit, with upper and lower pins for solid connection to arm and the best azimuth hardware I've seen on a bud... | |
| Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge? Markd51,When you say "zenith" are you referring to azimuth, or is there yet another angle of alignment I need to consider?If you're referring to azimuth, one of the added bonuses of ken's plastic protractor is that it in fact is reflective (when c... | |
| Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge? Interesting thread. I don't want to get into the main dispute. Just want to ask the OP to consider a protractor that is exactly like the MintLp except for these 2 differences: (1) the maker will provide you a unit tailor made to your table/arm bas... | |
| can forum readers help with advice on speakers ? I would argue that the GMA Continuum-1 used is the best sub-$1000 speaker you can find. I bought a pair a few years ago for $800 and have been solidly satisfied since. There's pair for sale right now on a'gon for the same price:http://www.audiogon... |
