Since the ABX’s Double Blind Test enters the audio minds in 70s it kind of remands in epicenter of minds who would like to propose an objectivism in audio evaluations. The Blind Tests if they are properly administered and the results are properly int...

The Carl Sagan’s suggestion that he would rather "know than believe” is good tool for sales personnel, priests and pitchers and the politicians of nowadays. Since perception is really it is imposable to “know” with any degree of certainty without sub...

For the person who very easy toss comments like “utter nonsense”, BS and “does not make sense” you are very uninformed. If you stop position yourself as an ignorant teenager who “knows everything” then you have chance to learn something. The Car Talk...

Frank, I do not generally participate in the “technical discussions” about the tonearm design I would live it to DIYAudio0type of people. I see no point and no particular interest on the subject. There are multiple reasons why. Not the last of th...

Lately, I have received a number of inquiries from visitors of my site, asking me various questions about power regenerators. The sad irony is that those people do not ask the questions which might be asked about the subject a bought rather they are ...

I was listening yesterday the Karajan 1976 performance of Bruckner 5 with Berlin Philharmonic. It is one of the greatest fifth I know off and I love it tremendously. I am not sure what happened but I think I lost consciousness listing the perfor...

[quote user="drdna"] I agree it is a mistake to get hung up on imaging as an end in itself, but it is a artifact of the process, and I am not going to say it is not related to making the correct connection. To have proper imaging is like saying: ther...

Here are some my ideas for an “Unlimited Turntable”. Feel free to share some of your ideas… An “Unlimited Turntable” should allow multiple arms. It should be a good quality arm with a good stereo cartridge…. Also, it should be a good quality arm with...

Well, how to maintain their site it is the matter of their own business of cause. Still, I think what they do with site is silly. The people who go there do have ALREADY a specific interest and they look for information, not for a presentation st...

Mark,
It is hard to say. I owned T90A sometimes in 2001-2002. At that time I was going through the drivers like crazy and T90A was just one of them. Looking from now I do not think that I gave to many drivers a chance as I did not “work” them trying...

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...

OK, at this point I might say my patience with APS has paid off and this new 2000W unit is something way more civilized – a very cool New Year gift to me. The result that the regenerator produces is VERY interning and I think it would be worth to tal...

Guys,
you do not need to ask this question to anybody else but the APS themselves. Would it make sense to ask a manufactures about the principles of their products operation?
I would certainly not talk to the APS re-salers as they even fur...

Well, have a good time, Stitch. Generally as far as I know Lamm equipment not modified a lot. When I own Lamms I make some minor changes that were not modifications but rather accommodations to the needs of my particular playback.

It never stop astonish me how senseless audio people are. Here and there they hear about the room acoustic and here and there they hear some buzz words: bass resonators, Tube Traps, WallDamps, diffusion panel, RPG S...
