Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

Another outstanding reference recording heard on OHMs notice (off today for Good Friday and time to spin some vinyl not heard in a while):

"I Robot" by Allan Parsons Project on Mobile Fidelity Master LP - yeah baby! Hadn't spun it in a while. Outstanding!

Also "Pyramid" by same APP on standard issue LP, perhaps just a tad behind IR in regards to overall recording merit and sound quality.

Pink Floyd's "Meddle" - nothing to sneeze at either!

I just picked up Ingrid Michaelson's "Boys and Girls" (recommended to me elsewhere) and Lindsey Buckingham's "Under The Skin," both supposed to be good Ohm showpieces. I'll report back.

"Show You How" and "It Was You" are the key tracks on "Under The Skin". Louder is better.

Rebbi,

I'm not sure of your taste in music, but I have another recommendation for you if it runs to "stripped down" rock music - think Neil Young style. The cd is called "With These Hands" by Alejandro Escovedo. He's something of a cult figure because:

A) His dad is the well known jazz artist Pete Escovedo
B) He's done the noisy/garage thing with Buick McKane
C) He's done the Cow Punk thing with Rank n File
D) He's had hepatitis C and an acoompanying benefit CD with cult/rock celeb participation.
and
E) His music can be great.

Unfortunately, the productions are frequently too dense for my taste and the sound can get muddy. However, this particular CD "unravels" nicely on the Ohms and sounds better (to my ear) than on conventional loudspeakers. It's no world beater, but a good demo of where the omni approach works better.

PS Listen specifically to the percussion on the title track to see what I mean. I will caution that the sound on this one may polarize opinion and disappoint some, but the good news for those folks is that the music's still great - if you like this sort of thing.

The joys of settling in...

It's a pleasure being off the speaker merry-go-round and just enjoying music for awhile!

Had a brief chance to listen today (parents' health situation not yet totally resolved... but getting there...)

Two more "Ohm Show Pieces," both from Steely Dan Gold: Expanded Edition.

Century's End and True Companion. That signature Ohm "fill the room with music" thing is definitely happening in spades.

Steve

PS: Thanks for the recommendations, Marty!
