I find that to look at the specific components photographs is useful to see the new TT design or hew horns shape but generally photographs of the enter demo rooms are absolutely worthless. Over the year the audio people make a fashion to make video o...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Stopped by at local audio friend this Sunday and watch some Brunner, Mahler and Wagner at his HT playback. He has integrated playback installation and video is played at his main system. I am not a fan of good quality of v...

A week or so ago I spoke with a friend of my - he is a perfectly rational and sane person. I send his some music and was asking what was he as thinking about it. He admitted that among the music I sent him he admitted that did not get opera. I was pu...

Sure the video imaging might be beneficial or devastating. Sometimes a great camera work can and good acting can embrace performances the push them way out there and sometime video can wreck even the best play. Sometimes, when I come across video tha...

I truly have no referenced between the technologies you mentioned and the actual results.
A wise man on this forum once said (actually he said it many times), "Do not attempt to replace a component until you have identified a problem with ...

Here is a good video foe your boring Friday. In most case it is a pure BS but a nicely professionally made BS. The comparing the Kharma making with the making of musical instruments is a cheesy as the word cheesy it could be? There are many very slip...

Guys, thanks. I do not really look forward for an advice what specific brand of model to buy. I am rather trying to conceptualize what functional elements I might need and what expectations I might have for each of them. Listening you and some other ...

As I told you that side effect of my Video Room project turned out that I changed my mindset from hating that room and considering it as a worthless in the house to the sadden admiration of the room. No I do not watch videos in there but I just turn...

Well the video shows some VERY skilled people giving life to their ideas in ways that most of us can only dream about. Of course, none of this says anything about how the system will sound, but I can tell you, when the video ended abruptly I was curi...

I spent today few hours in the house of my local guy with quite nice and elaborate HT. To my surprise I am absolutely not overcome with good quality of image or good sound from video system. In fact the more I observe the result that HT delivers the ...

Most Show videos are made with no preparation, maybe only some quick light fix, like please turn those on or off.I think the second type videos as Romy defined them are pretty useful, just a nice Showcasing of the gear to see what is out there, how ...

Well, writing a critical material about the Moronity of
audio videos out there I presumably put myself in a position of a person "who
knows better". The reality of the things is that if I do believe that I
know better and if my task would be t...

It is funny that as I bought the house I did not have any use for this room, in fact I did not even liked this room but with recent event I truly developed appreciation of the room. I totally rebuilt the decor of the room, converting it to the ve...

Actually your point on 75 ohm cables is a good one. I had our lab guys look at the various 75 ohm cables we had to check how accurate a load they presented. Various designer bnc-bnc cables were checked and a surprising number did not represent 75 ohm...

Is there any way to choose the "right wife" only by video and photos whithout trying her? ;) You are well experienced Romy, which are the symptoms of the "wrong", wobbling or worn out bearing when we buy Micro Seiki RX or SX? Anyway I would like to g...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwb9OCivhtgUpon looking the video I realized that as camera moves the sound does not changes, so the sound was not recorded “live” with microphone but was overlaid by post-production. [/quote]...

[quote user="skushino"]bty, I enjoyed watching video of Nutcracker at your house. [/quote] Actually Scott it was not the Nutcracker, I do not think that I even have Nutcracker-video ballet at my home. The peace that I showed you as quite intere...

I didn't make it to the 2nd video before and it's indeed interesting.Esp. how he describes the result of his trick: "addition of HF transforming into more air and resolution in the MF instead of more glow at the top"(around 2:30 at the video). It's s...

[quote user="Bill"]Sorry for this long rant but I feel a rebuttal is necessary.1. Back in the 90's you had 480 I video and 16/44 or dolby 2.1 analog audio. Then the sound was crap as was the video so you could get away with a crappy setup. Now we hav...

Romy says "Oppo is very
good video player. Still, it looks like it’s advantage in video are
not projected to 16Bit CD reading. Perhaps Serge was correct and reading
CD and reading the DVDs/BlueRays
are totally different...

I need to say that I did not do any experiments with any commercial audio equipment for a looooong time. Partially I have no needs as I do not buy anything and partially I have no interest. It is not that I have anything against commercial audio ...

My new listening room is progressing and it is turning quite
nice. I put the screen, install the projector, find the furniture configuration,

Well, this basement is certainly not a basement with “sweaty
