ROWUK says "I get much

They broadcast at 192KB which is not super fidelity, but their cho...

The Delta Pro-8B looks like a very fine driver, in fact on the paper it is even better then Fane (with exception of sensitivity and inductance) The problem is that no one knows how this driver will sound until it is loaded into a specific horn, no o...

I wrote about it many many times but it keep shook me, primary because it very much violates all intellectual provision I can extend against what I am saying. Today FM again flew my socks off and it was not special FM but objectively crappy FM.

Too bad it will not be heard in Southbridge anymore, as I won't be able to get my relatives to make tapes for me.It strikes me that while listeners might well complain, none stepped forward to contribute money to the station. Contribute enough and th...

It is very interesting as my new Schaub & Lorenz radio is a phenomenal illustration of bad sound. It has “large” and “full sound” with very impressive “bass size” but sat the same time this sound is absolutely dead. In fact audio people might lea...

This is a very interesting thread.Many times, while driving around I listen to classical or jazz fm stations. Occasionally, I stumble upon some performance so beautiful that it pulls me in and I find myself completely paralyzed and unable ...

However...............in the old days when FM broadcasting was still analogue some of the programmes were worth listening to here in Denmark for the music and for the technical quality.Today everything broadcasted is digitalized and when it's about l...

I think, it is useful to go back a little bit in time, when talking about Tuners. In the 50‘ and 60‘s records (and the their Equipment) was VERY expensive, it was a Hobby for the upperclass. For general public the Tuner was the main unit to...

It is interesting to recall how audio started in my life. Somebody asked and I was puling out from my memories some unconnected fragments was really enjoying to recall those times…

With all my love and admiration of WHRB I have to tell that the guy why run this station David Eliot (he is the chairman of the WHRB board of trustees and program director) has his head deep on own ass. WHRB was fighting recently with WHR...

As far as I know the Matacic discography never was made available. A few weeks ago a fellow at other (more amorphous) forum – Mr. Makopolus - published his list that I find worth to be preserved and publicized. So he is it: the Matacic discogra...

I truly love that. Sometimes in the randomness of internet audio idiocy there are events where I become sort of epicenter of bashing. I say “sort of” as they do not discuss my personally or what I stay for but instead the intent Morons mostly sh...

Well, that sucks here in Boston. WHRB is still in business but if you do not call them and explain to them that they are playing records backward they would not acknowledge it. The WCRB is gone, that is good but the WHRB move to the WCRB frequenc...

I was in my car the other night and switched to a local calassical radio station and a piece was playing. I suddenly became emotionally involved with the music even though the car radio system could easily be described as crap. It was Dittersdorf...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Anyhow, I like your idea about the "memories" but not in the context how you used it. [/quote]

Gordon,
An interesting post. I would like to “correct” and to elaborate a few things – nothing that I have not written before but I like to advance this point.
There is no contradiction between positive experiences we have from listening in...

A few days back I got rid of the 60-year old Germanium glass diodes in the REL detector and put in there the regular 1N4148 4pF low-signal diodes/ it was quite positive improvement. I need to be said that detector diodes are not the regulars diodes b...
