The Ohm Walsh 5 displaces the Ohm F at the top of the Ohm line, and the current Walsh 5 production run represents a "limited edition" of 500 pairs worldwide. There's even a certificate of authenticity—hand-signed by Ohm Acoustics President John Strohbeen—packed with the speakers that makes it all official. I think that this is more than a clever marketing gesture and clearly demonstrates Ohm Acoustics' pride in their new flagship loudspeaker.

Fremer Fights Back

Michael Fremer finally has his say about the "Amazing Randi" controversy in February's "Analog Corner." Thank you Mr. Fremer, for standing up for audiophiles who (like me) do hear and do care about the differences in cables. I admire your integrity.

Stephen, where is the forum for the February issue? I received mine three days ago!

pre-amp HT bypass

ok, I need some advice.

I run a pair of b&w dm604s powered by a Vincent sp-331 amp. And I recently replaced my old HK surround reciever with Onkyo 705. Now im banging my head against the wall, I cant get satisfied with 2-channel music listening regardless.

I really liked the warm and detailed sound I got from the HK reciever, the onkyo feels more neutral and laid back.

Neil Young Chrome Dreams II

Robert Baird - read your good review, thanks. I like Neil's country/folk side and his guitar freakout side both (yeah, I do like the rock even better), so the dichotomy you mention is not so absolute - at least for me, and probably for some others too.
My copy of this CD also contains a DVD, which is recorded at 24/96. The video display is just a changing series of still shots - so once you get it running, can turn off the TV and listen to hi-rez audio. Nice! I'm playin the hi-rez at home and keeping the CD in my car.

Passion, I said

Passion, I said

It was a quarter to five on the last day of the show, and I was feeling good. I mentioned this to John Atkinson. He was sitting there beside me. The bus was empty but for us. We were waiting to go back to our hotel, waiting to leave the noise and smoke and lights of the crowded, extravagant Venetian. The place is madness. All of Vegas is madness.

Newbie Philosophical (?) question -- Am I imagining this sounds better? or how not to go crazy

so i bought my first real nice stereo this year as a result of some great advice i got in this forum...cambridge 540p amp w/matching phono pre-amp...epos ELS 3 mini-monitors...Rega p1 turntable...used NAD CD player..got speaker stands and positioned them correctly in my study/record room.

So...basically...sounds great. So much better than what I was used to, listening to CDs through my surround sound DVD player in the living room or an old technics receiver/jbl speakers/technics turntable setup or iPod.
