This is ridicules – I can’t for 3 weeks to find any ready to go USB Managed Power Strip that would allow me to turn Tuner, MPX decoder and A/D processor by running remote desktop to my PC. I theoretically can build one myself but it shall be out ther...

Now, -- I don’t think if I may call myself a very intelligent person. Some would say so – B U T then there are others that would have it differently. My spelling is not too good at times, and so some people would consider this to be a sign of lacking...

Reggie, let to be clear that I use definition of kitsch in reference to audio installation. The Camerata as a cultural event is out of my criticism; in fact I applauded to what they did. The Camerata video did not bring me to the idea of perceivi...

Wow, price inflation in TTs were a lot worse than I thought! (more than 400% in nominal prices in the example of Goldmund).
You are right, the prices in audio seem a riddle wrapped in a mystery within an enigma. As a manufacturer, it is almost...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] At least I have significant WE experience! Romy, you have none to speak of, yet you are super-opinionated on the subject. Someday you might learn the truth. The big WE horn systems are a different league entirely from m...

I always felt that my demands for quality of Audio Sound might be to degree be moderated by conducting efforts. The true enigma for me is this aspect is John Barbirolli. Barbirolli is one of my the most admired conductors of mine and he is one ve...

YL 75000 has heavy phase plug indeed , rca style (see sketch) while 1250 ( I never had one) gets a fixed metal dome equivalent to spherical piece on 75000 and rca plugs without conical shape pointing the exit of throat. Ironi...

[quote user="drdna"] Would you then suggest that this approach demands the DSET approach to succeed? [/quote]
The DSET resolves all problems with SET amplification; it is not surprise that Sakuma went there. BTW, my familiarity with Sakuma’s DSET wa...

Hm, I am not familiar with Starker’s take on Schelomo. I have his Jewish sketches with some Japanese pianist. Well, whoever he did worth having… BTW, have you seen Rostropovich playing Schelomo:

It is nice to see the de-centresation of audio manufacturing. Formerly US, UK, Germany, France, a few Scandinavians and off the wall Japanese were making high-end audio. Today the lead positions in interesting high-end audio have moved to Poland...

Writing a yesterday about Korean Silbatone Acoustics:
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=15405
…I was thinking about a relationship between a nation cuisine and nation high-end sound. I do not know if it pos...

It was reported, and I do not know how accurate it is, that Silbatone did not use WE driver but used a Japanese replica by GIP.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I keep bugging Yoshi, he is in Japan now, to bring me a set of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 by Takashi Asahina with Tokyo SO from 90s it should be very interesting… The damn Japanese have quite a price tag on the Asahina’s Buckner…...

Over the course of the past year I was very slowly experimenting to the sound of my headphone amp. I know much more about it sound then I knew last year and I learned a lot more how to get “different” sound from it. The more amps ages and the more I ...

Well, like in anything else there are two sides of the medal. I did not deal a lot with 3009. It is a fine arm. The very short time when I had the arm it impressed me as an arm identical to 3012 but with less developed bass. I did not get any s...

The recent events in my playback made me to think about he new prospective duty of tweeters. Since the Super Melquiades was enlisted for duty the Vitavox S2 got it’s own dedicated amplifier channel and stopped to “see” the coil of upper bass driver. ...

Hi
Maybe you should rent the apartment over you? Nice place for sub horns,
with opening in the ceiling like our japanese friends do ;)
I am planning subhorns with floor-to-ceiling mouths in each corner of the front wall of my listening room, w...

[quote user="Paul S"]OK, Romy, that EnABL stuff got my attention!I can't recall all of the bad ideas borne of good research, but this EnABL thing sounds a little fishy, and certainly it sounds too good to be true, as existing in a simple and really u...

The headphone amplifiers are mystery for me. Form one perspective it should be simple but from another perspective I never heard any interestingly performing headphones amplifiers. Well, I have to take it back probably as wherever I even heard differ...

What I find interesting is that none of the Japanese store that sell cartridges for domestic marker sell the Shelter 90X. Who knows, perhaps the 90X is the big conspiracy between Shelter and US importers who decided to capitalize on the success of Sh...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, for sure no one deny to Berlin Philharmonic rights to
make money. The boxes now cost $500 and I am sure that in 10 years Japanese
will be selling it on eBay for $10.000.
Anyhow, I do not buy these records but I a...

[quote user="de charlus"]Ok, understood, at least somewhat. Are you suggesting that the S2 operates at the frequencies between 1000hz and 3.6khz? I am not insisting upon using the driver at the frequencies that I was initially suggesting; far fro...

[quote user="Paul S"]No "cost assumption" was made or posited about bearings, rather the remark was framed as a question, just wondering, likewise the very general remarks about belts (along with the closing disclaimer). If the air system is cheap, ...

I am glad that he did not stop on TADs and look elsewhere.
It is hard however as the demands for better drivers is very low that makes
them to be literally 100 times more expensive then they need to be (field coil
are very cheap to make) and that ...

I know there are some folks here from Australia and Asia and

Recently, I would say the last 2-3 years, I detected a very foolish tendency that audio people are brewing within themselves. A typical today’s audiofool holds within itself a hope about existing of a “secret”, no discovered yet, SS high power amplif...
