Yep, the Toscanini performance was a big surprise to me as well. Interestingly he does not play it as I would like Buckner generally, it is too “artistically expressive”, good only for Rimsky-Korsakov or Ravel but… still the way how Toscanini’s orche...

Sounds like he needs someone to build him a decent cabinet....

Is Yoshi's box ported or sealed? If it's ported.. of course he's going to be listening to more.. a lot more.. of the box... everything below.. 60hz? is box music.if it's not ported then this is a more interesting discussion. when I first read romy's ...

[quote user="yoshi"]I don't know much about the US situation, but here's some realistic estimate to maintain such business in Tokyo. Of course it depends very much on the size and location of the space, but let's assume it's in downtown Tokyo (I...

What your little G.I.P Laboratry does is absolutely irrelevant. They feed already pre-buttered customers and their moves are not important. Shindo and Cogent do the electromagnets for years but they doe little events with no influence. In high-audio ...

who is selling amp based on $20 IC Circuit for $2.5k wchich was called in some circles "a rip-off" ???? I think that above speakers represent exactly the same pricing structure like your products. (If you're not that guy though I'm soo sorry;)...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I keep bugging Yoshi, he is in Japan now, to bring me a set of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 by Takashi Asahina with Tokyo SO from 90s it should be very interesting… The damn Japanese have quite a price tag on the Asahina’s Buckner…&...

beside the title, "Apeal to the Great Spirit", the stature itself reminds me of Sibelius 5th.[/quote]Yoshi, is any specific performance or specific vintage of the Sibelius 5th brought you to this realization?...

[quote user="yoshi"]I do admitt that I have a tendancy to be attracted monochromic works in general, rather than colorful extarvaganza, both in music and visual. The colors, even strong colors, when balanced and co-ordinated under a specific int...

Bud, you sure make a case for your process, all right. And the problems I have noted grew through the hot afternoon, eg, the power was certainly AFU.Of course I am curious, and your very intelligent discourse about hypnotizes me.At this po...

[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...

[quote user="yoshi"]Well, my wording may not be right. What I meant by "integrity of harmonics" is more like "integrity of space where harmonics are presented", which I do not hear in CD/LPs.[/quote]
What "live" analog FM does with space is ab...

I spoke this morning with Yoshi and he made a phenomenal comment. He was complaining something about his bass. He uses a pair of big 15’ JBL in a box with an active second order crossover. So, when I asked him to describe what he feels is wrong Yoshi...

[quote user="yoshi"] 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.&nb...

You have to have guts (or stupidity) to introduce new FM tuners nowadays but as you understand this fact is very welcomes at my site. So, it comes: http://47labs.co.jp/4730.htmlI have no idea what it is and what is inside. Yoshi told me that FM was ...

This is where I lose you, or rather, lose myself. I can see my inner self reacting to a given performance be it live or a reproduction, but as you say, it can happen with a table radio or a car stereo too. I can't seem to find a bridge be...

Respect, Yoshi. I'll follow your further adventures with interest.I visit this site in the hope to learn, too. With regard to horns (and audio in general), I have much to learn indeed and Romy and other posters here are obviously ahead of me on the l...

[quote user="yoshi"] One guy reports the comparison between SHM-CD and CD version of Klieber's Beethoven 5th and says what they did is just to increase the volume level so that it feels like you hear more details, but because of that, the orchestral ...

Yeah, it was really surprising. The music from your FM was very, very natural and organic (I'm not saying other mediums sounded bad, it was great, but there was more ease and naturalness with FM). Is FM noise working as some kind of dithe...
|

I know what you mean, but I think it is a bit different. With Romy's system, CDs and LPs sound more immediate than FM, but through FM, I perceived music more as a whole. It's like my brain re-constract an anssemble from each perceived sou...

The picture sure does looks like 2482 and it comes with Phenolic disphram (I have a pair though never used), but it's more like a mid-low driver. JBL's recommendation is 300~6k.http://www.jblpro.com/pub/obsolete/2482.pdfYoshi...

I don't know what tinnitus is, but got a similar problem also on my left ear. Sometimes it appears as ringing to certain frequency, sometimes it appears as a piercing distortion (like beaming). First, I thought my ears got very sensi...

Although I do not think the price of 47 gears I distribute and Loiminchay are structured the same way, I should not have joked about it, especially considering all the accusations I received in the past years. Still, if you'd like to talk ...

Romy's prediction of field-coil speakers as the next move for the industry may already have started in small segment in Japanese market. There's Feastrex and Shindo, then G.I.P Laboratry who specializes in W.E. clones and seems to be gaining a ...
