The Rockports have a very light platter and a carbon Arm....the one I listened to was the latest, it had simply no Bass reproduction, nada, nothing and the Arm resonances are also inferior to any energy transfer from any cartridge. The lead wires are...

RE Peralmusic soundfilesThis is something that a Jacob Ganz wrote for NPR (my underlining):"I spoke again with Bob Ludwig, the mastering engineer quoted in the
story, who has submitted "Mastered for iTunes" tracks to Apple. He says

Well, leaving aside my "grinding axes", namely my habitual love to remind people and myself that there are plenty Morons in audio I do think that Berkeley's parley to Reference DAC is interesting. It is interesting not by the DAC as a unit but rather...

That all interesting though but the problem is that they have no way to be absolute valid. Yes, we as a humans, have a lot of masking effect build in us that prevents up to get complexity and color of sound with dynamic range rises. Yes we do in many...

This is an interesting subject that fascinates me recently. I have
a listening room with pretty good playback custom-build for it. All together it
produces a fine result and perfectly complies with general objectives of
high-end audio. For a last ...

Yes, I saw that a week or two ago and was repulsed not so much by the price (which is extortionate) as the implication that recording in this fashion will give superior results to using the best digital techniques availabl...

I saw this topic and it prompted me to register and reply, rather than just read, which I've been doing on and off for years now.
While I would love to have the time, space and patience for ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Interesting the stressing the importance of the listening room Rakesh went into depth of discussing reference clocks and YL drivers that are very irrelevant to the subject of the rooms. The Rony’s comment about the expressi...

There is a new company out there that make some electronics. I do not know them, never heard anything that they do and do not know anyone who use their products. They have a phonostage that might be interesting.

[quote user="oxric"] I have spent hours coming up with all sorts of weird and wonderful, but at other times too rigid systems to support the various components comprising what I modestly choose to call Le Horn (AKA Rakeshorns). I have more or les...

Paul S,I usually do not compare source components (or amplifiers or cables or etc.) in this fashion, DAC vs DAC, CDT vs CDT etc. unless I feel two (or more) of then (may) be too similar, like Lampizator and AN UK DACs I like. I prefer to focus integr...

There was a Reference Recordings company that did some nice
sound and sometimes, unfortunately much less frequently, some good music. The premises
behind the Reference Recordings that they were pure PCM recording, uselessly
done in 4x with Pacific...

Found some interesting comments on an independent web site, Twogoodears.
I'll copy it, it is from 2009 with original lines from Arthur Salvatore and a comment from Stefano Bertocello - Twogoodears owner -, we will n...

I have to admit that the live Zander’s Bruckner Fifth from the end of 2007 made me to re-think how I would like Macondo to sound. It is not that I recognized new Macondo’s “Hi-Fi problems”, whatever it has I am very comfortable with it, but I rather ...

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...

I initially meant to put this post into my midbass thread (linked above) but then I decided that the subjects is self-important and it worth to separate in standalone thread. In fact this idea was formulated to months ago but I was holding to po...

The Weiss AFI1 interface is measuring the following clock rates (in KHz) from the Model Two:
- 44.122- 88.244- 176.488
AND
- 48.000- 96.000- 192.000
Does this imply that the 48x clock is more accurate th...

I like to stress a point that the mammals that write thier doodles for audio publication are not juts ignorant fools but also the cheap, low class, falseificators. No wonder that the audio manufacturing companies do employ the so-called reviewers as ...

I am kind of semi-evaluating a power amplifier now and think about the following: there is a correct relation between harmonic content of amplifier and it’s dynamic aptitude.
I have heard many amplifiers that run across the dynamic range with a tre...

Leo Tolstoy use to say that all happy couples resemble one another but each unhappy couple is unhappy in its own way. I think in audio this witty Tolstoy’s idea could be very much applicable …reversed.

You know, I frequently tend do not listen operettas on LP. Operas are serious, dramatic, requires attention and dedication. Operettas are much lighter genre, no less wonderful but light and less “loaded”. I love operettas and I frequently liste...
