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

If it's not out of the question for you, Carja, I can highly recommend computer audio for digital. I went Mac-and-DAC about 7 yrs ago and was sold immediately. Hi-resolution downloads really do sound better in my system - IMO.

Bondman,

I recall you live in NJ/NY metro area.

Here's hoping that you came through Sandy OK.

Yes, and yes, Mapman. I am a real prepper. Everyone laughed at me until Sandy hit. Unfortunately, while I know how important a whole-house generator is, I just cannot afford one, so that was the one hole in my preparedness. My basement system was protected by a sump pump and a water-powered sump pump backup. I powered everything down and disconnected from the wall sockets prior to the storm, and made sure all but my subwoofers were elevated a few inches off the floor. When we lost power, and evacuated to my parents, I took the music server's portable backup drive with me. While not an expensive item, the time spent loading my music (about 1/3 done after a year and a quarter of ripping) is not covered by insurance. But the power came back on Saturday, and by later Saturday night I was enjoying some badly missed listening (my folks have a very crappy stereo). Thanks for asking.

See John at Ohm for the Black Friday sale! Got a notice in my e-mail, so if you have been holding out, now is a great time to buy. Happy Holidays folks! Tim

I had a sublime experience last night. I threw the SBT on random song mix mode and relaxed for a while, lights down, chair reclined back. On came "Nathan Jones" by Bananarama. Don't laugh, I really enjoyed 80s and 90s pop. I remember this LP - "Wow" - which came out around 1990, as a really bright sounding CD. Well, yes, it was bright, but not at all in the bad way I recall from my pre-Ohm days. On the contrary, while light in the bass, it was highly detailed, smooth, and I heard lots of details I'd never heard before. I sat there with a silly grin on my mug for the whole cut. I find myself more and more often chosing to flip on the Squeezebox Touch rather than switch in the TV or watch a film. This is a good thing. Many TV shows and films dissappoint, but music from my own library almost never does. Lovin' my Ohms!
