Yes, it would be wonderful to be able to separate pitch and speed with no loss or gain of quality........ Still, Vienna playing Bruckner at A=465 is exhilarating to me. Modern American orchestras at A=441 (practically a half step lower) do sound much...

I was slowly looking for a compression driver that would go in my Fundamental Chanel down to 200Hz. The YL Acoustic 550N attracted my attention. Then I realized that it is the narrow throat type of the drivers, aka WE555, not exactly that I would...

It is kind of suck for Bruckner lovers in America. The American audience do not listen Bruckner too much so the orchestras understandably do not book Bruckner ‘s symphonies. If some visiting conductors do Bruckner then the US orchestras do not do ...

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

I knew that Bruckner will fuck up my mind, but I am grateful for that…
Lately I tuned my attention to organ music, in fact I’m listening a lot of organ music. It might appear that my playback got to the point where it might do a full justice ...

For us, Japanese, there're practically no noise in the nature. I heard that, for Westerners, the sounds insects/animals make, cricket, cecada, frog, etc., are noises. For Japanese, they are beautiful sounds that characterlize a ...

I mean the way how they call their turntable is absolutely irrelevant, they can call it antigravity bearing but it does not mean anything. They do state that the turntable has air-suspended tonearm; which is fine and common for liner arms. They howev...

Hi Jorge.Firstly, be very careful if you're thinking about feeding a PP with a balanced AC input. It may be different with the North American PP units, but my UK unit did not like being fed by a balanced AC input. My balanced transformers already ten...
