The reads of my site know that for many years I am a huge
fun of the Placete Active preamp. In my new listening room I faces a problem
that I have not enough gains with some material. The room kind of big and it is
integrated with video. Many vide...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, Tax, are you sure that to play the irelevant sounds that
you presented at your YouTube videos you need any Milq, horns, TT or any other playback
more sophisticated then the iPhone? I think you (and not only you alone)...

Here is an article by Leonard Norwitz that I think some of you might find motivating. I do not know Mr. Norwitz but it sounds like dinked too mach Qvortrup’s coca-cola. Anyhow, although I do not agree with some (sometimes many) of the Mr. Norwitz’s c...

[quote user="manisandher"] And I can indeed replicate this effect... but only with my RME FF800 and not with my Weiss AFI1.
With the FF800 (slaved to the Pacific), changing the Pacific's wordclock does indeed change the speed of any audio/vide...

Clark demanded that I, too, concentrate on Bruckner.At first listen I thought it was lacking in that frenzied intelligence of Mahler - too simple. With time I see how idiotic that impression was and my listening to Mahler is almost nil where Bruckne...

Long time reader first time poster. Forgive me if this is not exactly the right area of the site to post in. My brother sent me this lecture from MIT on "The Soundscape of Modernity: Architectural Acoustics and the Culture of Listening in America...

I have started a project that I want to share with people. I have the
Decca Solti Ring boxed set. I don't listen to it much because it is
difficult to read the libretto and follow along with the story so I keep
getting lost and it is kind of ...

Here is 40 min I just recorded; it is 2.3G mp4 video file. It is all yours. It saved to me 2 hours of writing

demonstration at the site of Boston Tea party in 1983.

This is very interesting, Anthony. I do think that absolute polarity has own role to play. Also, do check the DC that might be sent out of your preamps, certainly with Placette and with your 10Y before the transformer. Chas it with disconnected Milq ...

Today is a first day since we moved to the new house last June
when a local audio guy comes on over to do some listening as I feel that the
room and playback setup is over. It is kind of important to me to have this introvertial
milestone, to know...

I'm not sure if the Salamander-style rack (wooden shelves supported by nuts and washers on threaded rods) will support 800 pounds, but if you put heavier items near the bottom then a wide heavy-duty version might be fine. Besides Salamander, some ot...

Hi Romy,
I happened to visit your site and stumbled on the Sakuma discussions.Just in case anyone was wondering what was being said in the two videos:

[quote user="Serge"]Romy, I'd agree that it is not really exciting to have the 5.1 for watching classical music videos in the Opera room. It is hard to obtain good sound from 2 speakers, 5 or more is then ridiculous. The downmix to 2.0 option is a bi...

This weekend a local audio guy came to my palace and was bitching about his bass. I have small 1 cub feet pair sealed foxes with 8” version of my 25W drivers, I think they are 21W. I used them on the side of my bed to allow my old Koshka to climb in ...

A few years ago, hearing Romy's amazing FM recordings, the computer seemed a necessity. So now it is here, and it blesses and seduces.Jumping around playlists is sometimes a lot of fun. Quick comparisons and sudden thrills, and newness. Along with...

A friend sent me a link to an interesting video about Bruckner
on analog. I do not know who the guy is; he is a Bruckner devotee, which is
