Djjjj,instead of reading the Macondo axioms, you ignore me and ask if I have listened to the ESD system. What difference does it make if you do not know what I am talking about? Yes, there are serious flaws in the ESD system. If this is the best that...

I listened to really a lot of Koetsus (Black, various Urushi, Signature, Red Sig. Platnimum, Jade, Onyx....) and it was always the same result:No Bass , no high frequency area, no colour, no bite... and with different Arms of course (Graham 2.2, Phan...

I have coved this subject in past. I was not able to find a solution how to add resistors to change loading and how to make it to be switched that would not degrade sound. So, my own phonocorrector has no adjustable loading. If I need to do it I woul...

47 lab from Japan introduced their new Koma Turntable 4724 with 4725 Tsurube Tonearm. I did not see them in US. Here is a link to the Japan reseller:

I heard the Audio Note AN-Es, they were pushed back into the cornes in specially prepared room and they wer very interesting. Dynamics were world class, cellos were extremely hairy, piano left hand was tremendous, everything you said. Still, the elec...

Here is an active (I think), "analog" (they specify) product that is said by its promoters to develop something good by way of "phase" information that otherwise remains buried in recordings. While the "specifications" and marketing are vague (to sa...

If you went to a concert with chamber music and closed your eyes how would it be different?I think it would be because of the improved sonics. Orchestral music is more the grand gesture and the overmic'ing of orchestras disturbs this gestalt. Convers...

My only targeted listening experience with DSP has been bad, including "modern" "reinforced" concert halls.I later found out from one new-ish concert hall sound guy that they always immediately "digitize" the sound specifically in order to "process" ...

Not expensiveSmall sizeIrrelevant look and appearance ;)Don't know about the other specs. It would be easy to pull it out of the box and change to a bigger one with more inputs.I had to change the tubes, which were a bit microphonic, and the damn uns...

Last week I sent my DAW’s DAC cable for refueling. The FM programs are slow – the concert season starts in a couple of weeks and everyone are resting now. So, I am spinning some records that made me to pay attention to the status of my analog. What I...

Hi, I'll be very interested to see what you end up with. I really like my Shelter 901, but would like something which gives me a little more of the sound that i'm getting from my tuner. What do I mean by that, more realistic space/tone pe...

Thank you for all ideas.I never listened to 47labs or to Metrum. all I have is a contact to a 47labs owner, he uses Flatfish Transport & Gemini DAC with a few Power supplies (2 or 3). In a way, is it really competitive with such a modern Design l...

On the sansui, I tried using ferrite on all the rear inputs. No change in noise level.
On the ad122, I wrapped a single large donut around the interconnects,
which are supposedly shielded, but no change in noise level. I tried
putting ferrite ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The rule of the game is the analog can’t delay but only filter but digital can’t filter but only delay.[/quote]A few years ago, I looked into replacing my analogue crossovers with digital ones - I wanted to try steeper than...

Why are you so aggressive?Te specs on web site are most generic on purpose.We do not want the competition to copy our design before we applied for patents and protected our IP.If you'd like to know more details, call us and we will try to explain to ...

[quote user="Paul S"] None of these units except the original IDAT improved on my analog bass. Although it was hard to tell about bass harmonics with the music I heard, the original IDAT kicked ass with deep bass and absolute SPL. [/quote] Paul, ...

I admit, if Harley was selling something, I was not reading for that, and I missed it. If the question is how to shape digital square waves, we are still left to solve that problem, as any other, with an identifiable and repeatable solution. I am all...

I agree that that article was one of the few that I would have been happy to affix "Steverino" to. I know that Romy has minimum high regard for SACD and I am not particularly keen on it myself. But since I only have about 75 CDs/SACDs I have never se...

Here is my second attempt to make ad-hog analog transfers. The file is 280 Meg in 167kH and 24 bit. Do not download it if you can’t not play 167kH. The file is 0.5dB hotter then it shall be and has some clipping. I wonder if somebody would be able to...

"MET’s orchestra was more dramatic and less shallow then Boston." Well I'll give you that certainly! But the Lyric's was a truly Verdian sound, not easy to achieve. "Would you like to have the entire few gigs of raw file or do you want me to dow...

Hi,[quote user="Genn"]May be it is time to review some basic concepts?[/quote]I am quite familiar with them, thank you.[quote]I'm using today IC based, Accu powered small amplifier, and it reproduces music, without any noise and distorsion from angry...

Just the symptoms caused by the bad electricity, tons of tubes and other parts in various stages of decline, pins/sockets/connections, along with analog and digital source issues is the stuff of madness. I am so happy when everything works...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]BTW, the idea of analog dithering (randomanization) will be used in the coming Avicena Power Generator… [/quote]Okay, what is that, and where can I hear it?

In this case I do not knock the author of the articulate. He is a reviewer, the Soundsate.com level of reviewer, the worst kind and there is not a lot of expectation from him. It is not to mention that where did you an industry reviewer was able to ...

All digital domain volume controls (or crossovers, which is the same) by definition reduce amount of bits. Some “creative” companies fight within by introducing the additional processing after the bits were lost in order to hide the fact that they op...

I received an email from a visitor who is involved into the electricity fight and he pointed out that my hypothesis might or might not be accurate only in context of eliminated large distortions. According to him the very high levels of harmonic dist...

Romy, I think that the only real "solution" is to develop a boot cycle for your amps that consist of warmup, parameter test and after this is test is passed, change to operational mode. I am pretty sure that your tubes do not simply unexpectedly expl...

Well it hard to find for whatever reasons. “Bescal” released it but I would not trust then and would look for the original Everest release. I do not know who sell CD and I have seen ay used market they goes for stupid prices. Still, you might fish th...

It looks like the best “audio source EVER” begin to get less shiny. I being to observe that the FM classical stations that I ordinary listen got substantially noisier over the last year. It might be because the stations begun to add digital high defi...

[quote user="rdrysdale"] We are using about an 18 foot path for the sub. What we need is for some smart electronics guy to design and build a processor just strictly for time correction, and nothing else, no EQ, or crossover built in. [/quote]
