My Walsh Dream
While some of my equipment tends to be older, However, most of it has been highly modified within the last two years improving the overall performance by night and day.
My goal has been to produce as realistic and palpable a sound as possible with a very high degree of resolution and definition.
I use this system to test our speaker creations and ultimately for my wife and I to enjoy our music. I maintain my home as a show room for clients, so that they may hear our creations in a real home environment and not a $50K sound room.
I presently run up to 32 bit 384kHz on CD's and I have a Q-Sonix computer based music server system for playing high resolution music files up to 24/192. We also enjoy vinyl on a Luxman PD-441 Turntable with a Premier arm and Grado Statement cartridge.
So far, I have not reached the level where the speakers fail to provide new levels of resolution, detail and realism, including a test system valued at $150K +.
A considerable amount of my equipment is custom designed and built by myself.
Many of my inter-connects are custom designs using solid Silver wire, Teflon insulation and UBT connectors with various winding geometries.
My speaker cables are also custom and consist of 3/8th inch wide ultra thin (.0015") OFC copper and Teflon PTFE jackets.
In addition, all my equipment racks and plinths are hand made from 2" to 4" thick old growth Maple and are hand rubbed with Tung Oil finishes, Following in the footsteps of Mapleshade Audio.
Finally, I also manufacture tube coolers and these are available in various sizes. If you will look at the picture of my monoblock DT200 amps you will see the tube coolers in action on Gold Lions famed KT88s.
We have added new products to our line-up as of late 2013 and early 2015. They are the upgraded TLS-2, The TLS-4 Walsh style Tweeter/Midrange unit with new magnet covers that are available for DIY folks and the new TLS-5 Full range Hybrid speaker system or stacked array, utilizing the New Tweeter/Mid unit and a Walsh style bass unit combined in a smaller tower system for those with limited space.
