Very interesting about the lateral vs. vertical resolution. According to "Raptor Force", a 2007 Nature documentary, the owl can locate a vole under the snow based on its offset ear geometry. "Like us, the owl can find the left-right position of a no...

[quote user="JLH"]Foolishness is too soft a word to describe the unspeakable garbage the Magico Ultimate is. They have mis-matched impedance drivers, improperly sized horns for the drivers, and made everything from metal. Then they go on an attempt t...

I'ts not that I feel "someone else's would be more informative than Cogent". Rather, even though I know what I heard from the Cogent version, I cannot at this point say I understand how much and what part of what I heard is ...

A few days ago I was expressing my dissatisfaction with the BS-mania that industry spread about the digital masters.

Thanks Romy for interesting article, I like it.excuse me for bad english :)I think our perception is a wonderful universe and it can focus on objects in outside. target of this focus across time will change our brain state and it's response will be d...

I too believe that "reproduction" has nothing to do with my audio experience as there is nothing to reproduce. There is so much missing in any recorded signal that the "original" geometry can not even be close to restored. At best, we could create a ...

friday we had a good test , we use Roon Labs software.tone was very similar in both CEC and Berkeley but i am not sure about our system tone resolution because we connected a push-pull amplifier to 2way living voice speaker.in our test Berkeley was g...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]He use Magico monitors and with 91dB sensitivity and 4R impedance I would be very surprised it I see any SETs in there. It even more interesting that his Magico speakers are sitting right next to the wall. I do know how Mag...

Romy,
from my understanding, this disc called HDAD, contains on one side a DVD-Video resolution, 96/24 and on the other side a DVD-A i.e 192/24 resolution. So the disc on one side can be played in your regular DVD pla...

Hi,I'm new to "Romy the Cat's Home Page," was impressed when I read a thread comparison of the Lamm L1/L2 linestage, which prompted me to post here. While I'm not an electronic's wizard (gift is mechanical), audio has been part of my life, dating bac...

As you know currently there are two opposite camps regarding digital sound reproduction: one is the non oversampling filterless camp, the other is the over- and upsampling + filter camp. There are as many followers of the NO as the over- and upsampli...

Hi Samuel, I see that quite a few replies without much in the way of suggestions. Romy will not give you what you want, ie. a shopping list of speakers to audition, but I will give you one or two recommendations that I think sound quite good in...

Sure I did. The WaveLab is not good reader at all. I was converting CD to WAV file with EAC and the played it from EAC and from WaveLab – it was not good in both cases. In fact WaveLab is very bad for any file manipulations: change rate, change resol...

[quote user="Paul S"]Telus, I did not complain of "16/44" or of "hardness" but of a range of problems with digital sound I've experienced. I have also whined loudly about SACD in other threads. My present digital system is my best attempt to get as...

David, I am not sure what your reply was all about and I am not sure where you saw hostility. You report that one way produces better result then other. I asked to elaborate what this “better” is in your observation and you went into talking about m...

[quote user="Paul S"]So, where do we get good digital "masters", good 1st generation dubs…[/quote] The problem is that industry, it it’s absolutely dominating majority, does not recognize even the existence of such a thing as “digital master". The or...

[quote user="drdna"] Oh, I see you are absolutely correct. I am very puzzled. As it says on the website, the mastering studios relocated to a new location. Maybe there was no room for the old set-up. I was only in the old studio a few years ago. I sw...

I have some “issues” with the 176.4kHz idea, particularly knowing the most of the RR recordings were not recorded in 176.4kHz. I am glad that they did not go for X48K format but stuck with X44 (I more like the Linn’s 88.2KHz “Studio Masters” idea). S...

Hi Romy.I completely agree with you regarding the VTA <-> VTF relation on every arm out there (the lever rule also seems to work with tonearms ;-)). Also i agree that if you want the correct absolute measurement of VTF you have to do it on the ...

I guess you cannot say you listened to a horn system if you dont have an upper bass horn.The upper bass horn has to fill in the response from the compression driver down. At this delicate range nothing will perfectly macth it but another front horn. ...

Hi Romy,I agree its a relief to hear finally someone describing something. Because all the mysterious dust around it makes one really curious :) And you cant hear them anywhere.So i got really "tensioned". Finally... and id like to share about it. As...

[quote user="noviygera"]There seems to be a lack of useful feedback on the actual sound quality of these oddball, relatively rare TAD mids. So I think it would be helpful to share some basic observations I gather after listening to them for a couple ...

Yes, Anthony, any horn by nature has what I call horn arc. At the bottom of the range the channel boost output, then the gain slowly decay and become almost like a direct radiator and then the output begin to roll off at HF by horn until the driver r...

The RAAL’s Alex is trying to undertake a task of horn-loading of his ribbons. I am not a big enthusiast of the idea. I am not quite sure how Alex will combine in one driver the requirements of super-tweeter and a horn-loaded MF driver, not to mention...

[quote user="steverino"]I am no expert on digital although I certainly read a lot on DSD and DVD-A back in the day. However, once you use the standard D/A chip as lampizator acknowledges, you are at the point of a tweaker for the rest. It is like a s...

Bill, when you were at my place I use two PP2000 running together as at that time I did not discover the effect. I was running my MF at -2dB and my tweeter at -1.5dB. As now I use one unit and I return back my MF and HF channels to the level as they ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I figure out that it is time and put some acoustic treatment on the walls and at some spot of ceiling. The 2” pyramids in white, 24” by 24” look very nice; in fact they almost work like abstract yuppie-ornamentation po...
