In the last 10 years I had some chances to visit owners with very expensive Systems (>500.000,-- $) and all they had the same in common:
Absolutely no idea about real High End or Music reproduction and I mean non, nada, nothing, they went to a d...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Currently I have Jack Elliano’s made 450mA, large, single section LF transformer that begin to roll somewhere around 800Hz. The transformer ha s a lot of core mass and at full Melquiades’ LF power (~20W) it begins to clip ...

Haralanov,I spoke with a guy who consulted me during my Electo-Vitavox project. He helped me with selection of core material, deliberated the core and calculated the right coil to keep the core mass optimally magnetized....

I am with you with you anti-servo prejudgeses. The moment from motor, regardless if it is strong or now weak, should be constant. At the very moment when the moment changes it’s value the platter performs a microscopic “move” in it’s bearing. So the ...

Hi Romy…and fellow audio nutters. I’ve bitten the bullet, and shifted from BLH to front-loaded. Yes, I was an idiot, a moron for not doing this sooner. My project is ‘humble’ by Romy’s standard…but I feel it meets the following objectives I h...

Here is the list of the thing to do with Vitavox S2 in order to use it in 4-ways installations. The S2 must not be used in 2, 3 ways systems. It possible to do with S2 whatever you wish but pretty much any other way to utilize them produces some very...

[quote user="steverino"]I made the mistake of clicking on the first link. It is a dangerous thing to try to parody Stereophile or TAS articles or writers. At least I think that was what the writer was attempting to do. If he was serious then he is wr...

I was pointed at a site where people debating the subject of 2A3 vs. 45 vs. AD1 vs. RN604 vs. YO168. Naturally they pointed out to my site, bringing my articles from this thread on the same subject as some kind of reference.
I read their comm...

[quote user="Saturntube"] The difference soundwise in this half range 180hz and up horn module between the Leak TL12.1 amps and the First watt F5 clone was big, mainly the tonal balance is very different with the midrange sounding thin. Highs w...

Somewhere in the thread there was mentioning of the London Reference cartridge. The Positive Feedback this month published a review of the needle.

I few days ago an audio guy visited me. I under normal circumstances do not allow regular audio people of "this type" in my listening room, but this was the situation that I needed to do it. I said the “audio people of this type”, what did I mean? W...

[quote user="Stitch"] I agree, the Shelter transformer is nothing special, but when you really want to loose hairs, try the one from Koetsu. Well, living in a world of morons I spend - unfortunately - too much time with reading idiotic reviews fr...

[quote user="scooter"]Sorry about that. Vince has good days and bad days; sometimes he just does not get it and you did correct by running out. Given his background in 80s solid state amps and your interesting piece of gear I thought he would have ...

Stitch, I hope you talk not about Wilsons but about the cretins who write the stupid stories about them. Wilsons do what they do and what they do is OK. Sure the Wilsons, as anything else have own problems but those problems are never get pointed out...

Thanks for the link, el`Ol. The original Görlichs, when they still use aluminum layers were very interesting, thought they were soft suspended drivers that is not my cap of tea. BTW, for whatever it worth the Magico new version does not use ADT...

There is nothing in playback system that is as devastating as remote control. A remote control is something that easily converts a listener into a zombie audio-Moron™ – thanks God the there is very fertile contingent of candidates among audiophi...

In response to my post above I have received an email from a Moron who blamed me in the typical foolishness that the Morons love to blame me: “You Romy do not like anything”. Of course I disregarded his email but I have to admit that among all BS tha...

Hi Roman et al!Allow me to introduce myself. I have followed with amusement Romy the Cat for many years. He is ascerbic and ultracritical, but he does know audio. We share many tastes, like the Koetsu Onyx Platinum foir instance, on...

Well, people know my unhealthy love to “invent” the things and to grant to the “inventions” stupid naming conventions. Guilty but do not care. Here is another bright idea – the DPDP consept.

It happens that I lately become heavily engaged a project that covered me from music-listening and the Morons-insulting person into a soldering and a constantly questionsasking Moron. Well, it is life.... :-(

Yes, Markus, thanks. It is a bit too obvious that Speedysteve7 is not a typical DIYAudio moron. As the evidence: pay attention the Speedysteve7 posted information about his playback and has no following. In contrary of him installation would be 2...

LBJ,
I do not think that the idea of Water Tower is good as we would need to change the TT speed. Also, I think the verso is necessary for us as liquid has different viscosity with temperature and we need somehow to compensate it. What I found inspi...
