Yes, it's true.The original pressing is always the best. There has never been an audiophile version that is an improvement to the Sound. They may have a quieter surface, fewer scratches, pops, and less overall noise, in fact the sounds may be better...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also do not forget that the phonostage that you built has very lash and very polite sound. [/quote]I would like to stress the politeness and lushness of 834PT-AIR phonocorrector. This characteristic of this phonostage s...

Paul, it has nothing to do with noise reduction devices. It has also very little to do with the media on which the recording took place – would it be LF, tape or digital file. Audio it is about expression of musical spirituality through the semi-barb...

[quote user="HDTT"] Wow what a greeting to give a new forum member!!! [/quote]
Well, it is me. I would like do not moderate my attitude and my strictly audio judgments about audio result of the people that I do not know vs. to the ...

Hi Romy,
Could you explain a little more about the amp? If I understand you correctly it is a 1 tube stage with solid state (Mosfet or Bipolar??) output. If it is Mosfet then it is likely to be running without negative feedack, is that r...

I recently bought the new DVD of the picture Ben-Hur and have much time watching the movie and listening to the music, indeed, I often play movies for the purpose of listening to the music.Anyway it got me thinking once again how and why I got into t...

Part 3: Sound
The sound generally at CES was disgusting. There were virtually no rooms with something that might be marginally conceded interesting. There were some more or less interesting episodes, though… All interesting episodes, no mater how fe...

Sakuma San is some sort of cult figure among the tube-o-philes. I wonder why he is implementing so many transformers in his amplifiers. Using transformers can be a good thing but in my experience too many transformers give a somewhat compressed sound...

Thanks Romy,
I would have thanked you sooner but I had the day OFF of my day job today and had no time to post until now.
*cracking up*
I had a feeling there was no easy answer, wasn't sure if I was missing something, had scoured posts for a whi...

Christopher Witmer with his upcoming US show initiated a new wave of Feastrex propaganda. I have mention Christopher in context of his Maxonic drivers before:

Upper range effect is amassing, though not much different then with other regenerators. With PS Audio’s Power Plant the compression at MF-HF is also reduced or eliminated and that ugly heavy dense pressure blanket got lifted. The Power Plant while do...

Simply beyond any criticism. The Purepower bass was something that sold me on the very first unit in June 2007. The very first Purepower 1050 had the same type of bass. What kind bass? Well, if juts did not “improve” it and did not modified it ...

The cool thing is how Lamm figured out how to get one's attention off the window, albeit, apparently, through a fairly didactic program of "organizing", "correcting" and/or "mitigating" certain information he realized contributed to that particular d...

When you step outside of your house you have a few seconds when your senses recognize whether and to react to whether. Before your awareness tag air as cold, dry, windy, hot or wet you have that deep breathe when all your inner-you just put on line a...

Simply put, this concept has more to do with tangible results than most other things we talk about. At least, potentially. In the same way that a person might go to the ophthalmologist and get a pair of prescription eyeglasses to see clea...

How do we hear?
A recent article examined the capacity of the optic nerve to process visual signals. Based on the number of neurons in the retina, etc., an estimate of less than a megabyte of information was found, which is surprisingly low. This...

It is funny but for many years I had been intrigued by the different approach to audio by Japanese vs "the West"."The west" here refers to Absolute Sound type (not everyone in the West is this of course) criteria of live performance.

there is something else to work with and this something else always was there…"Could you be referring to what I. Kant made known as "a priori"? There are things in our consciousness that are apparent, present by "a priori" which in the case of pl...

Good lecture, thanks for posting it. It reminds me that I think 12 years ago there was a “big” debate about the distinction between US and British Sound, from a perspective of speakers design. We all know about the “classic” BBC curves and the rest o...

New member, first post, so go easy on me!Ive been playing around with clocks in digital audio for a while. Current system uses a DCS Scarlatti stack with the Scarlatti clock. Synching to the Scarlatti clock rather than using the Scarlatti DAC as mast...

Hi Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] the S&B unfortunately does just gain, nothing else) but for the money S&B do OK. [/quote]Then it does exactly what is asked of it, I asked JB to design it for me PERSONALLY as a "wire with gain". I have be...

I have long followed posts in this forum and wondered what the ultimate horn system sounds like. I have always liked certain attributes about the horn systems I have heard (Trios, Cessaro, Acapella, Altec, the usual suspects) but never to the point ...

This is complicated. Audio people have an implanted into them notion that a better playback produces more agreeable listing experience. Consequentially a better (the best) playback is something that heard more. However it is correct only within a ver...

[quote user="yoshi"] This is how I took Jonathan's post. He (Janathan) is mocking you (Romy) by presenting a hypothetical situation assuming your ego would be hurt in that situation and get pissed the same way some audio people react hysterical...

Looking at the sound that audio high-enders cultivate as High-End Sound I have little enthusiasm in what I see/hear. The High-End Sound, as it exists in 99% of listening rooms is not really High-End Sound but rather the High-End Labeled Sound where t...
