It wasn't a silent display. I heard some weeny brassy Mars wind and Marsian footsteps coming from them. I thought of asking to play some Earth material I brought with and realized I forgot them in my car. Typical of me.Yoshi...

I was telling about Lamm new SET and it highly likely that it was on display only. If Lamm desired to play it then it would be incredibly foolish from my point view and I do not think Vladimir would do this mistake. Anyhow, Yoshi, really, jokes aside...

No. The only thing I can remember is that it was some unknown material with a trumpet and a bass. The trumpet coming from the horn and the bass coming from the woofer. The volume was low, so I can't even tell if the two dr...

Thanks for the great "outre" description, Yoshi; about as I had supposed from Romy's posts to date, actually, but just such a simple and understandable description and picture.So is this the original "Big 'Un" or the latest "Wedge", which we hav...

I am sorry to report a very unti-climax ending of my 8 years' saga with the Reps-1 driver. It ended abruptly when Romy came and said "Let's go for the LE-8 (which I had it in my second system)".I'll report my findings in a different thread...

Recently, I added JBL 2220 for below 200 and replaced TOA DSP with Pioneer D-23 4way active crossover. The result is very positive, but there are still many issues I'd like to attend.I'll be out of country early in September so that'll be a goo...

Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts on my situation. The box is about 22" x 18" x 12", 3/4 thick plywood, internally braced with 2 by 4. Pretty much no damping except 2" thick acoustic form covering the rear panel which has 3" s...

YoshiIt should not be a problem for you to borrow one of those plastic 150-200 Hz horns for your REPS .For restricted band as you're using it , it may sound interesting. I can imagine that other owners/users of Reps would be horryfied by the way you'...

Hi!You are probably familiar with this one... It's the closest to a multi-cell tweeter (well, maybe because it actually IS a multi-cell tweeter, but only 6 cells) I've ever seen...picture of Altec 3000hRegards,Anders Boman...

The box is about 5 cu/ft apperiodic with 3 x Scan Speak vent on the rear panel. Damped with cotton blanket (filling 60% of inside) and braced rather well. The driver is JBL 2220 crossed at 80Hz with 12db slope. All other channels ar...

Although there's no doubt "The Garden of Earthly Delights" is a historical master piece, I always felt there's something abnormal about it. Not because some modern psycologist read schizophrenic tendancy from the right panel. Mine comes from doll l...

I'm wondering why people do not mention Bruckner 4th, while 5,7,8, and 9 were talked about here and there. I really love the 4th symphony. My most favorite is Wand's last recording with NDR. The one with Berlin Phil is great too. As an orchestra ...

Actually, the entire performance of Jochum in Tikyo on Sep. 17, 1986 is available on DVD.http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/2582492I have one but it is area coded and I can only play on my computer.Yoshi...

It's also coming out from Warner/France. About $80 at Japanese HMV. The release date in Japan is 04/30/2008.http://www.hmv.co.jp/news/article/804090072Yoshi...

The closest i can think of is if your child went south and blames you of your bad influence on him or her when they were younger, and you can't remember or understand what they are talking about, but still feel a tremendous amount of guilt, you'...

"They were both artists thoroughly faithful to themselves. Of course, their music was beautiful beyond description. I learned many things through them. I learned so many things not only from their music, but also from their way of l...
|
|
Yeah, you're right Yoshi. Sometimes we have to detach ourselves from this ridicule audio hobby to be able to rediscover the true essence of music. Why do many audiophiles seek the ultimate in transparency, soundstage, bass reponse while the music is ...

That's really a great story, Romy. I'd love to see his face then.I have an opposit one, also from Midori's book. One day, Mravinsky's wife put on an LP of Stravinsky's "Apollon Musagete". Mravinsky screamed, "Oh, my god! ...

I've been following the thread with interest. I just checked Japanese HMV and Amazon. Anton Nanut search in HMV brings no result. Zilch! The name is not even included in their very comprehensive conductor search. There's...

[quote user="yoshi"]In case of fake stamps or self-contradiction in a story, it is rather easy to point out how it is so by introducing an evidence. In case of audio, usually there's only his system/result that is present. When ...

It has nothing to do with thread but with the fact, the facts that I am experienced. I have no exposure or familiarity with Yoshi Sugano’a cartridges but I know one guy who very much likes Koetsu and use then all his live. In fact he encouraged m...
|
|
I will say again it is important to speak from experience, not conjecture. The cartridges hand made by Yoshi Sugano were exquisite and the Rosewood Pro 4 accomplishes things that no other cartridge I have heard could do. It had shortcomings admitted...

Hi Stitch,I met Yoshi, the US distributor for 47 Labs, a few times for coffee when he was visiting Tokyo. We discussed Jazz music and his modern artwork in detail, topics that were so interesting we never got around to classical music or equipment.I ...

One Japanese classical music reviewer, Naoya Hirabayashi, who seems to be very keen on recording issues, blames heavy use of noise reduction and editing (combining rehersal takes, adding reverb, digitally correcting mis-notes, etc.) as two ...

Romy:I've been thinking and thinking. What I found at the bottom is a lack of confidence accompanied by the fear of it being exposed. I do not have a confidence in my audio. Further more, it was camoufraged from my own eyes by the h...

I do a lot of spray painting on my other job. One particular paint that gives rough texture is Auto Air Color's candy colors.http://www.autoaircolors.com/They are supposed to be used diluted with their Transparent Extender and coat it with...

I found many reports on SHM-CD sound on Japanese blog sites. Most of them comment very favorably on SHM-CD, clear, better resolution, livelier, etc. Some mentions different balance compared to the CD version, many comments SHM-CD sou...

Last night, I got an oppotunity to hear what Romy's been screaming about the quality of FM broadcast. Yes, it is in an "insulting" level. The biggest surprise was the harmonic integrity live-broadcasts presents us. Not only with orc...

Those are the taps that turns on/off all the components connected to it when your PC is turned on/off. "elecom" thing says production discontinued though.

[quote user="jweiss"]Hi Romy, Here is a hypothetical question. If someone sent you an email telling you, in quite a clear way, how you had made an enormous mistake in one of your audio projects, for example an exercise in modifying a speaker, detaili...
