| External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread) I was contemplating purchase of a streamer. A new friend who wanted to audtion my speakers brought his Cambridge streamer and Denafrips DAC over for a listening session. I was sdo impressed that I bought a used Node 2i here on AG and love it, but... | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection I was reading on another thread here - possibly even this one - that Bill Legall only does one pair per year and he's not happy about that because it's so labor intensive and time consuming. I have great respect for what John Strohbeen has done to... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? First link above got fouled up but the second one - to the photo of driver - is okay. Let's try again for pic of speakers with stands.http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb394/phaelon56/Audio%20Gear/IMG_0249-001.jpg | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I suspect it is indeed different with the F's. I tried them without the stands and found that unique spatiality to be a bit diminished. Seated on the couch or walking around... I find this height to be perfect for my ears and these drivers. Hope t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I keep tweaking the position of my new F's slightly and playing a bit with other cheap tweaks. Now using two 18" square 2" thick concrete pads under each. The bottom pads have plastic/teflon coated furniture sliders under each corner and i have pi... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I had their original series Bose 501s in my college dorm and although they had some real limitations - for the $250 I paid (used) they had a great soundstage in a small room and served the purpose at the time. The Bose 901s used too much reflected... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Oh gosh... I did it now. Drove four hours each way yesterday from Syracuse to Philly and back... returning with a pristine pair of restored Ohm F speakers! I've been watching them get re-listed on Craigslist for a few months with no action - likel... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm giving thought to keeping the Ohm 2's and moving them to the bedroom for a second system... with a larger pair of Ohms for the first floor/LR system. Spotted a used pair of Ohm I for sale (not Ohm 1's.) These are conventional speakers in the s... | |
| Improvements I just acquired the $80 Spin-Clean manual record washing system and am amazed at the results. I did throw together a separate vacuum system made from an old Dirt Devil portable and a notched crevice tool with some velvet strips. That speeds up the... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks for the thoughtful comments and suggestions. I did just acquire a used NAD 512 CD player here on Agon. It's a fairly low end unit but distinctly better detail, tight and fuller bass and less bright than the Yamaha CD hanger I already had in... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I had an Adcom 545II in place for a couple weeks with the preamp section of my NAD 3155 integrated amp. It's hard to sort out which new item has the most impact but I think the slightly warmer characteristic of the Citation 22 amp (along with 2x t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? New member of the Ohm fanboy club here. My first and only truly "good" audio system was back in the early through mid 70's. I had heard a pair of Ohm A's or Ohm F's a few times in a Tech Hi-Fi listening room but as a high school senior with a part... |
