I think that there is a HUGE difference between listening to a recording for the first time, or a second, fifth or hundredth time. A live performance or recording for the first time is full of surprises - that disappear when repeating. The recording ...

[quote user="Thorsten"]Then it does exactly what is asked of it, I asked JB to design it for me PERSONALLY as a "wire with gain". I have been on previous occasions been unconvinced of many stepup transformers, be they sowter, amplimo, EAR or jensen. ...

[quote user="drdna"] but let's not forget that we should never equate equipment prices with sound quality. [/quote]Absolutely disagree. This believe is the most ridicules accomplished that audio propaganda implanted inept the brains of audio people. ...

"Then there are flutter echo like bathroom sounds that horns also sometime produce, especially if they have a glossy surface."What I meant was that the glossy surface causes a effect that is like or resembles the hard fluttery sound...

Romy, as you can see, I have never wrote that these parasitic sounds depend ONLY on the quality of the drivers. It is quite obvious they depend on many many many other things (practically everything) as for example bad microphones, bad microphone cab...

Actually a Tapped Horn would be bigger than a sealed enclosure, here is one of my first TH tests. The sound is very different than the sound coming form a Sealed encolsure. My first impression was that the bass was gone! There was no bass sensati...

Stitch I can't understand why some people in this site are trying to be a mini Romy,you included. I read what Romy writes and you don't need to repeat it.It's very strange you KNOW what was playing in that particular room without being there. Anyhow ...

A given driver might sound very different when it's deployed in different ways, so putting it in a box just might make it sound "better" to you (vs. OB), for your particular application. But why did you choose this driver? What about its sound att...

Actually there are many hidden aspects of DPOLS, the aspects that, many audio people who never experienced DPOLS but wiling to argue about it, do not even understand. Interesting that by observing some of this aspects is it very easy to detect where ...

Romy -
I am interested in how you personally discovered dpols for your own personal reference. You Say:
"Actually it is not
really correct because if you approach the DPoLS from the position of
“tweaking” then you NEVER di...

One big thing for Gordon Holt was to create a standardized language to be used to describe what we hear. If you think about it, this task is made very difficult by the fact that there are really very few aural-centric modifiers; rather most des...

This is an interesting question.Audio is the reproduction of sound. What one makes of an audio system has to do with one's goals in life, not audio in general, as it is a tabula rasa, more or less.For myself I have found that I seek a connectio...

I was listening light night the Charles Ives’ Fourth Symphony by the kids of American Symphony Orchestra and Members of Schola Cantorum under the baton of probably 180 years old Leopold Stokowski. Ives music is not exactly my cap of tea but I hardly ...

It is kind of sad to me to see the arguing going on here. One reason I like this site is because we can all have our opinions freely. About the design I will say this:Any time digital correction is used, this is a bad sign. There ar...

I find it pointless discussing the "sound" of a drive unit as it will be totally dependent on the implementation within the system.
I will say the ET-703 is best seen as a supertweeter, and used to cover only the top half octave and the ultrasonic...

The people who has more than one tonearm for stereo might understand me. I kind of pissed as my dally tonearm/cartridge does not sound as good as my reference tonearm/cartridge. What does it mean? It means that for dally records spinning sometimes I...

I heard this TT, it was magnificent, almost no coloration to speak of, dead dead quiet. Of course it wasn't plugged in and there was no tonearm or cartridge yet but man I loved the sound! Really whatnthe hell is everyone screaming about ? Romy mentio...

Dear Romy,I've bought their Sussarro cartridge. It's something very different from other moving coils. If there is a chance try it.Armen...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]fiogf49gjkf0d1) 3) The common mode filter you have at the PS’s input- why do you use them? They do eat some dynamics. As many time I removed them from all imaginary components as many time I witnessed better sound. ...

I have long followed posts in this forum and wondered what the ultimate horn system sounds like. I have always liked certain attributes about the horn systems I have heard (Trios, Cessaro, Acapella, Altec, the usual suspects) but never to the point ...

This is complicated. Audio people have an implanted into them notion that a better playback produces more agreeable listing experience. Consequentially a better (the best) playback is something that heard more. However it is correct only within a ver...

[quote user="yoshi"] This is how I took Jonathan's post. He (Janathan) is mocking you (Romy) by presenting a hypothetical situation assuming your ego would be hurt in that situation and get pissed the same way some audio people react hysterical...

Looking at the sound that audio high-enders cultivate as High-End Sound I have little enthusiasm in what I see/hear. The High-End Sound, as it exists in 99% of listening rooms is not really High-End Sound but rather the High-End Labeled Sound where t...

There is Food and there is Junk. Junk is what our US food industry sells to us, the consumers. The fact that we in US eat shit is not a secret for anybody who has any more or less more evolve appreciation of eating. Today I head on my radio a v...

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 do not mean visualizing the sound waves or music, that is a relatively smile task. What I mean is a visualizing of Sound. To depict sound is very finical; it is like depicting of wind, did you see any good attempts?
I was sent to an Asian si...

I had a very interesting experience last Sunday. I visited
my local audio guy and had a phenomenal listening session. He is horn guy and
had a good sound in his dedicated room. He is for year playing with surround sound
that I never cared about an...
