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

I scored 2 mercury perfect presence lps today at goodwill for $1 each. Bingo! I've never heard of this label on lp before. The sound off tne ohms is stunning!

Mapman - I own a few. All bought for a buck or three each. I have a Mercury Living Stereo of Fredrick Fennel conducting songs by Cole Porter, engineered by Wilma Fine (pre-Mrs. Cozart days). It is pristine, both the LP and the jacket, and is one of the best sounding LPs I have ever heard. Enjoy your new finds!

It's a shame that they don't make many recordings like those anymore.

The inside of the one lp's gatefold is filled with a bunch of technical information and charts and diagrams outlining the recording process in great detail, including where the players were located in the recording venue for reference in that the expectation is that you should be able to locate them within the soundstage at the locations indicated.

Back in those days (very early 60's), hifi stereo recordings were new and a novelty that was marketed to the masses based on the sound quality in packages like these.

Imagine that?

I was just a young kid at the time but I think that was probably a big part of creating my interest in music and stereos at the time.

THen the novelty of stereo hifi wore off I suppose for most except us audiophile type kooks and the rest is history I suppose.

Nice to see this thread is still going. I had the Micros and was blown away by their sound! I exchanged for a larger Ohm 100- and now 3000. Utterly captivating in their sound.

Sndsrtaud,

What's your assessment of the 3000s versus the 100s you had prior? Do you know if the 100s were series 2 or 3?

Thanks.
