[quote user="AllHammer"]This post has basically wiped out the entire reputation you have tried to build up in the past. Rebutting a review does not make yours right, and from my personal experiences, you are indeed far from right. I can see why some ...

[quote user="cv"] But I don't think they are doing this here. What I would bet is that that they are running the thing in A2 with a much lower Z primary, using a lower B+ and high standing current. They are also using feedback which will help the ban...

Hi Romy, I recently heard the smallest Cessaro and while I felt that the bass was not adequate for long term satisfaction it was also not a total disaster. From the midbass on up; however, the speaker is simply superb and one of the very best h...

Using the PP2000 has been a very interesting experience. Immediately listening I am NOT struck that it is the most wonderful improvement ever, which I have said before is a GOOD sign. Usually the seductive sound changes are colorations that are enj...

Hi Romy,I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone. The reason why is this: They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty resonances as the reso...

[quote user="twogoodears"]Yes, maybe the 120 db/octave is THE trick for complex multi-ways systems of highest resolution, yet this barbaric:-) slope can ONLY be achieved by digital domain crossovering... unfortunately, as a satisfied user of TacT RCS...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I heard 4 (!!!!) complete contradictory descriptions how high level of jitter manifest itself subjectively – interesting that they all derived from the engineers whose credibility is very high (not juts the audio-tweaker...

The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...

That is so much pisses me. A few days back I posited this like and was laughing that this guy record in DSD (which is in fact not DSD but SACD, I do not think he has access to DSD) in order to sell his recording in PCM 2X and 4X? Why do those people ...

[quote user="Hugh"]The rewards of ideal speaker placement is something I've experienced as well and perhaps is related to DPLOS or possbily audio-moronism. While not easy to find or predictable between speaker brands the result is consistant.&n...

[quote user="rowuk"]I am always a bit hesitant to buy into "listening descriptions". I am a musician and am confronted every day with Sound bias - attraction to what we are accustomed to, expectations being confirmed. We are creatures of habit and mo...

Well, what can I say, there is no surprise but the more and more I went into anal-retentiveness of time-aliment the more interesting result I got. Unfortunately with my the frame of my Macondo I was not able to go at the 1/12dB precision, I was able ...

Running further away from Slav’s and Austrian’s “expressed sound” in music, walking across the Brucknerian soft monochromic fields I found myself lately to have very different interests in the sound that I am after. Well, I know how to make good soun...

Horns are of course some kind of band pass filters with different kind of ripples at lover cutoff and beaming at upper cut off, according to horn type.Maybe it should be added that contributing to the horn sound idea, is that the...

Be careful to relieve me if I am not impressed, many promised no one excelled. :-)
Chris, I do not think that you will see me to think about transformers for other channels. I do not think that what I do will be some kind of resolution for Amor...

[quote user="morricab"] You are also right that to get everything you want from an output transformer requires a VERY expensive construction and top materials. However; even an expensive transformer is no guarantee of success. [/quote]
Sorry t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eli, I as any other person on consumer side, do sympathize
with how you feel. I would like however to point out that this site is not the

[quote user="xandcg"]I read a interview with Peter Qvortrup (AN UK) a week or two ago (but that was older) were he talk about his theory of why a CD + Good Transport sound better than a audio file from a hard drive (with the same resolution at le...

[quote user="bernie_f"]Hi Romy.I completely agree with you regarding the VTA <-> VTF relation on every arm out there (the lever rule also seems to work with tonearms ;-)). Also i agree that if you want the correct absolute measurement of VT...

As things stand today, I believe that the biggest gain in quality is not to be had via the pursuit of higher resolution formats.A friend of mine who works for a large media distribution business (like Amazon) recently gave me a bunch of sample CD...

Recently, I was fortunate enough to have an extended listening session with the Living Voice Vox Olympian outside of a show environment. Since said listening session took place upon a boat – moreover, a wooden-bodied boat – under what can only be sai...

Hi Romy,I guess I view absolute tone a bit differently than what you describe. I think that each real instrument or person (as in singer) has its own "absolute" tone. It is the sound of what it is (or its gestalt). The ideal speaker...

After all let's recall that it was Nietzsche who also stated,(I think actually one of his main themes): "Everything is about perception" i.e. the perception of the individual, not what others think and tell...Next, since we're at it, it was...
