This is my very wet audio dream over the years. I never had a good Chair. My room never allowed me to do so but as I will be moving my wet dream about a perfect listening Chair begin to erect my imagination.
Now I have nice leather couch… I li...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, Nicanor, I very much disagree that room acoustic being basically invisible to us. People who deal with sound more or less intelligent always not only pay attention to room acoustic but recognize sound ONLY in context ...

I have been observing these phenomena for years and I have no explanation for it. Not that I requires any explaining, BTW…
Pretend that you have a stereo installation where right and left channels produce absolutely symmetrical acoustic output. A sl...

James,
forget about music, music and audio are separate entities in they should be treated separately. I have written a lot about it before.
In the realm of pure audio “it” exists as a moment of realization. The entire truth however about the “it” ...

Stressing Bass in my former post I would like do not overly accent the lower bass itself but rather an organic combination of bass with something that I would call “full body” sound.

Well, leaving aside my "grinding axes", namely my habitual love to remind people and myself that there are plenty Morons in audio I do think that Berkeley's parley to Reference DAC is interesting. It is interesting not by the DAC as a unit but rather...

I except suggestions and critique. I live in Turkey and I am not living in a city, I live at the coast. It is not possible for me to go and experience most of the stuff first hand. There is no one really interested in horns or have multi-way horn sys...

Me being exuberant about the new ULF capacity does not necessarily mean that ULF contribution is right and proper, let me to explain. There is a musical event that has it sonic representation. This sonic representation better or worst was captured by...

I was slowly looking for a compression driver that would go in my Fundamental Chanel down to 200Hz. The YL Acoustic 550N attracted my attention. Then I realized that it is the narrow throat type of the drivers, aka WE555, not exactly that I would...

[quote user="steverino"]FM is Analog Signal Processing vs DSP. The compression aspect is only really intrusive on orchestral works. Pop and jazz are already compressed and chamber music presents a more limited dynamic range if not limited contrast. B...

It has been changed. Looking at the extend of my record collection, the efforts I went with my TT setup and my “End of the Life Phonostage” it would be hardly expected from me to be somebody else a die-hard vinyl dude but it is what it is. Those feel...

I started in hi-fi with LPs and I have never stopped using them as my principal source for hi-fi. Some time ago I decided that master tape was better than vinyl, but I could not afford to go that route; so I settled on the next best thing: a cartrid...

It is absolutely amassing how many audio people misunderstand Audio Neutrality. The Audio Neutrality is one of the most import moments of audio reproduction and still it is misunderstood. Not good!
The very first step to begin understanding of real ...

Romy,It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound through the resonan...

Well that was my father. We founded the company together - he invests, I researches, mostly. Bruce Edgar and Sam Saye taught me how to design, and we built our first prototype system in California.Think I need a bit more clarification on the five tim...

With regards to the links, as it happens, I totally agree that 15in Tannoy Reds struggle to handle complex music. The crossover is too simplistic and the cones too hard to control with a low power amp. Reds can be lovely in a simple vintage system bu...

ArmAlex the fun thing is that you read Romy posts here without understanding his ideas and copy paste Romy instructions in your Audio system and the result is lower than those audiogon guys (an example of your audio logic -> you buy gryphon spea...

I am kind of semi-evaluating a power amplifier now and think about the following: there is a correct relation between harmonic content of amplifier and it’s dynamic aptitude.
I have heard many amplifiers that run across the dynamic range with a tre...

Not all the designers actually mention specific programs, but most seem to agree about the importance of the ripping and playback software.

Rakesh,
Yes, life is too short but the definition of belter ULF channel is not something that one might learn during "a project next coming weekend". The most important in audio is a state of realization and obtaining this state is a matter of...

Having listened for a while with the tubes, I have come to some conclusions. The three tubes I have seriously listened to are: Kron, Sophia, and Emission Labs. All the tubes are much better than any other modern 2A3 tubes I have tried. I felt my in...

Last weekend, just for fun, I brought the amp and preamp to the 2011 Burning Amp in San Francisco. On the first speakers, the Audio Kinesis, I let the heater warmup for about 15 min, and then switched on the power, the amp was fine, we played...
