I got this link from I believe AU site that dedicated to some kind of DAC that they have to themselves as another Messiah. I do not know what the DAC is about and made a few posts in there regarding a speaker setup. The link is a French translati...

"I invited Clark but he sold his soul to Devil and went to Tanglewood for the concert."
Indeed I did go, for I had bought the ticket back in April. As for the Devil part, there had been no selling and therefore no satanic transaction.

[quote user="tuga"] Don't you think that this “soft reading” players with no rythm syndrome could have mainly to do with dynamic compression, which is as much a feature of many "analog sounding" CD players as high frequency roll off?[/quote]

We know that distance between a listener and live source in a concert hall creates HF attenuation along with adding of reverberations, changing harmonics/overtones balance and so on. Loudspeakers are in a way exposed to the same rules. If we conditio...

Hello Rony,
No, I've never heard a DB Systems-modified AirPort Express.
You might start by buying AirPort Express from Apple (89€); this should give you some insight... If you sense it has further potential, then (since you are in France) you could...

[quote user="oxric"] As to why people are interested in the 16 ohms drivers, that is only true of some. The idea is that if the Vitavox S2s are being used, and a single amplifier to drive the different channels, it seems to make sense to go for 1...

It was exactly how as I imagined - the Injection Channel worked very-very well. The electricity was good, close to wonderful. I calibrated everything and decided to spend a few hours just listening some tonally complex things. The Injection Channel m...

There were plenty it of them made: Techniques 9500, Excusive 2301, Iwatas, JBL 2350 and JBL 2345, Vitavox (narrow) and few others … They kind of very strange horns and I always was suspicions about them. Though my suspicions are purely theoretical: a...

Hi guys and Romy,I was inspired by Romy's recent videos on Dunlavy speakers, sound, and it got me thinking, about simple correctness of sound, when I seldom experience it. It happens at surprising moments sometimes, when you least expect it. This rea...

First of all, the people who read this thread need to understand that I use the metaphor “idiots owners” purely in pedagogical sense. There is nothing idiotic to run neither single driver speakers, to have very bad speakers or not to have speaker...

As some may know from previous posts, I have been working on horns for the Vitavox S2 as well as other drivers (I am photo-documenting the process, as it is somewhat unusual, possibly to be posted here at a later date). Last night I was able to test ...

Well, Jerry, I can pitch you some CDs. They would be from US resellers but I am sure you can found your local UK equivalent. Be advised that I have none of the Gieseking’s CD only LPs, so I have no idea how good sound transfer was made to CD. G...
