I can only get to 17k with my laptop. On my editing software (and a different computer), I can generate tone from 20 to 20 and can hear all the way up to 20k. I heard on NPR that kids are downloading high pitched ring tones that the teachers can't hear...

I had a pair of 4t's for a while, but I did not upgrade to another psb line. There are much better options at the Stratus and Platinum price points. They may be honest on their website, but I can't say the same for their speakers...

Check out the Usher S-520. You can have a look at them at responseaudio.com - they deal a lot with Jolida.

I've heard lots of good things about those amps! Have fun...

AMG, I feel your pain - I listened to EVERYTHING, before I settled on my current rig. I would suggest Focus Audio FS78se or DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 8 (or even the 3). Sounds like we have somewhat the same tastes, so give them a try if you can. I heard the Focus Audios with some really nice...

The only tube amps with slow bass are poorly designed tube amps. Just like a SS amp with sluggish bass is a poorly design SS amp. For me, I really like Manley Labs' tube amps because they are far from being soft in the bass and overly euphonic everywhere else. I would suggest listening to...

It's funny because I've listened in some pretty major recording/mixing studios and most of their amp speaker combos are pretty horrific. Of course, a lot outboard gear that I see engeers and artists use, has tubes. Also, what is accurate? I've heard the exact same speaker/amp combos in one...

A friend of mine just got one - they're great turntables!

Hey wannabe - check out the Ohm MicroWalsh Talls! These speakers are very small, but with a room filling sound. I ran around comparing mine to everything (from Maggies to Paradigm Studio 100s) and they always came out on top - especially when considering size and a very reasonable price...

The cool thing about having speakers ship directly to your home is you can first - compare your new speakers directly to your old ones, in your room with your gear. Secondly, throw your new speakers in your car and bring them down to a store and compare them. It's much easier to A/B speakers...

How many double drummer bands with both drummers playing double bass? A lot less double bass these days and a lot more double pedal. I used to check out Rodney when he was coming up, doing local gigs in New York - glad to see he's getting so popular.

I like the etymotic ER-6. They're inexpensive (there is a higher priced version too ER-4) but sound really good. They definitely cancel a lot of ambient noise - I've used them on planes, as an in-ear monitor on stage with bands and as headphones when I practice on the drums. They allow you to...

I bought a pair of Ohm MicroWalsh Talls. Ohm only sells directly from the warehouse in Brooklyn. I wasn't satisfied with anything else that I had heard in the stores (or hi-fi shows...) so with Ohm's 4-month return policy it was worth a try. It is a little strange to plunk down money on...

Yeah, I think Bill has sort have come full circle with his gear. Those electronic drums will never sound hip - they were dated when they were brand new (I don't miss the 80s). Phil and Chester really make music - none of this unison 38 Special stuff - they compliment each other really well...

Bill isn't over the hill yet! When I saw him play with his Big Band, he was swinging hard, and stretched out on some very surprising solos. He's still got hands! Not an electronic drum in sight...

Gene I totally agree about Pat M. Pat is pretty generic next to Bruford. I met Bill last year - AMAZING guy - later that night I saw him with his "Little Big Band" and he tore it up. I wish I still had some of my Phil/Chester drum solo bootlegs. They had VERY musical and grooving drum...

Take your time. I do this when I'm trying new drums and cymbals for the first time - revisit the gear your trying. I often put in a long listening session at a store, then give my ears are rest for a couple of days, then go back to the store and listen again. A fresh perspective. I do the...

djoxygen - I totally flaked on this thread - forgot to mention back to you that the Mackies are better/more reliable than most studio monitors out there. Didn't mean to be so harsh I just get a little bent out of shape when people talk about measured flat frequency response - I just agree with...

Hey Mort - Right now I'm only in 2 channel mode, but when I expand into HT, I will most likely run phantom mode-center channel with the Ohms. Due to their design many owners don't require a center channel. I watch TV/Movies a lot with mine, and don't miss a center channel at all! If you...

I have the MicroWalsh Tall. I hope I was of some help to you - it really gets down to listener's priorities, so some of the Ohm's trade-offs might not appeal to everyone (though we must not forget what they CAN do, which is astonishing at their price range!). Ah yes, I forgot about the Gallo...
