Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
My lack of recent posts should not be misunderstood. I am still loving my Walsh 2000s, and do not anticipate changing out my speakers in the forseeable future. Unfortunately, any and all upgrades are on indefinite hold. While still marginally empl...

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Wow. Thanks, Coot. That's the first negative experience I have read with the D-Sonics. And, the ONLY experience I have read abouit with D-Sonics feeding Ohms. The posts regarding power filters vs. plugging into the wall cannot be stressed enough. ... 
"this is the product Ohm puts out"
My own experience: I ordered a pair of Walsh 2000s not long after they went into production. When they arrived, there were some flaws in the verneer on the top edges of the cabinet. These were not visible with the caps on. The caps themselves were... 
New Pre Amp suggestions
How much stereo music listening vs. film viewing do you do? Instead of upgrading your pre-pro, which will once again soon be obsolete, consider what I did. I went with a cheap, but up-to-date AVR (the top of the Pioneer standard line two years ago... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I am using an older set of Kimber 4PR. I really cannot compare these to anything, since I had them before I got my Walsh 2000s, but I can't identify any problems with the Kimber. I would like to upgrade at some point, but financial considerations ... 
Need help with a Tube PREAMP.
A used McIntosh C220 might stretch your budget, but if you shop carefully, could be obtained. It has balanced and unbalanced outputs, and has no issues driving long RCA runs into my SS amp with 10K input impedance. Like all recent McIntosh preamps... 
Requesting advice on preamp to buy
Why not another used McIntosh? 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Coot: FWIW, I too have my eyes on that D-Sonics amp (although financially, I am farther away from a purchase now than I thought I'd be). I did ask John Strohbeen about that much power into the 2000s. His reply was, "go for it, but keep an eye on t... 
Ripping LPs to Hard Drive
Or, you can do what I did. Give up on computers and buy a stand-alone CD recorder. This might not fix your level issues, though. It sure fixed my computer issues. I use a Marantz pro-sumer recorder with pretty respectable results. 
New cables for Thorens TD 160
Not very relevent, but I had my TD-166 MkII rewired with a no-name litz RCA cable. Volume is fine with HOMC cartridge and MM phono stage. The only way cables could cause such a loss in voltage is if they are broken, AFAIK. Bad connectors? Somethin... 
suggest an under $2000 amp to match 4ohm speakers
If the PV-10 has enough range of balance control for you (my PV-11's balance control did not), a great, new amp that would work for you would be the Odyssey Audio Khartago or Stratos. Lots of power, stable into 4 ohm loads, extremely musical (espe... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
If you review some of my older posts, the answer is, quite well. I have a combo 2-channel/HT rig, with Walsh 2000s and a Walsh Center up front, MicroWalsh Talls for the surrounds and a pair of Paradigm Atoms for the rear surrounds (some day I'll h...
