I've received and read most of February issue of Stereophile. They review the last M1.2 Reference amplifier and the comments from the reviewer are more about how the music can flow and show as a unique event, with the kind of interaction with th...

The thing here is that while you may hate something, you are forgetting the perspective of where most audio enthusiasts approach this. Let us leave aside the issue that they might enjoy anything regardless of if it is good. The important thing is to...

Nothing wrong with following along or "copying" "good ideas", as long as the seeker already has an internal "reference" that serves as a sort of navigation system or gyroscope that allows for inevitable "gaps" and differences of one stripe or another...
|
My five cents, folks... find nothing wrong in a flexible ULF, as it, sort-of, makes honour to any audio system and music and audio lover, as this "flexibility" strongly reminds me to various music and concert halls and venues around, where their "per...

So, it will be a single-ended triode amp and in future possible DSET, right? YesOK, but you need to understand that you will pay the “minimum proximity” penalty for this. Yes, this is something Jeffery warned me about, "Romy has that vertical thing r...
|
This is a fact but, you need to review literature relating to lightning/surge arresting systems. It is given in books such as the FURSE system because stranded conductors DO NOT WORK in that application. Flat tapes and small solid core wire should ...

You may remember that my bass reflex boxes were sitting on top of the carpet. I installed a few days ago, 4 brass spikes under each one, then their foots to sit on, and put them on the sandwich granite bases I made. Bases are 50kg each now!I have als...

I dont think a standart klipschorn would satisfy the cat. I had one, then I heavily modified it and in the end I built my full scale horn system. I still keep that modded khorn system as a second system.If I may suggest, if you use klipschorn, you ca...

[quote user="haralanov"]Romy, the main driver in this acoustic system has nothing to do with the funny Lowthers. It is very high class field coil speaker unit made by Oleg Rullit. The owner of the system has tried the highest class of the Feastrex li...

Hi Romy,It is with great interest that I frequently visit your site and enjoy your observations on audio-moronity. While I have to admit that I am at a loss wether I could be qualified for being an audio-moron, I can live with the fact that others ob...

[quote user="peter foster"] Since obtaining a pair of 'reference' microphones, microphone pre-amplifier and analog-to-digital converter as part of my playback system I have learned much about 'relative reality', 'transformation of reality', 'reinstat...
|
No matter how often I go through it I still frequently get confused and disoriented when tubes go bad. In this case I have been integrating a new (passive) pre-amp and a new (tubed) phono stage into the system, including trying various tub...
|
So far it appears that one needn't look to the TAP for any sort of sonic help. I have been breaking my own "one change at a time" rule by futzing with a new (K&K) phono stage as well as the CD/bypass stuff, and everything I do to/with ...

Romy dropped by yesterday. He goddamn demonstrated how "yellow" and compressed the Lowther (Reps-1, in my case) is, using my system, by simply playing other channels and the Lowther channal separately (mine is a 4way multi-amp set up, so it's v...

My a-musical woes, mentioned briefly above, were traced to the ML2s' fading drivers. This report is written after the 6N6Ps were repalced. As it turns out, the TAP did not figure into the problems, and minor system changes do not&nbs...
|
Bill, what I find interesting is not the fact that the units vary one from the other in terms of measured performance, or each in its (in)ability to charge its own battery, rather I notice that you seem "happy" with the performance of all the units i...

Hi Romy,Sorry for having placed you quote out of context and giving the wrong impression that I didn't care for what came afterwards. I did, but I didn't want to make a long quotation.This issue, as I understand it, comprises several topics in which ...

Hi Antonio, I just realized I glanced over that thread assuming its relationship to the 6 levels of benefits. Its quite interesting, but I do not know where I fall in that spectrum (no, it can't be discrete stages as its far to "big" to really ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The "listening to the room" is NOT the DPoLS subject in my view, however, if you feel that it is then it is fine with me.
The Cat[/quote]I agree with romy , I think DPOLS help us to find the most neutral zone in room but d...

Thanks for the spacing tip. At this point the only part of the inverter attached to the house is through the ground - and that is using a plug for just the ground lead into a close-by receptacle.My main amplifiers (tri-amplified system) are utilizing...
|
What a relief! No matter how many times it happens, at some point I always wind up adjusting my system to compensate for bad electricity! I know I keep saying it, and it is embarassing, but it's still true! I live near a school now ...

I think it might help LX_ 's ac problem resolution if I make one simple point.If his PurePower 2000 is operating normally, it is both theoretically and in practice impossible for his household appliance operation to have any effect at all on the AC o...
|
The "mains ground" is not necessarily worth a crap, electrically; it is just whatever ground system happens to be attached to the main service shared neutral/ground bus. In fact, some older systems may yet use the dreaded "floating" ground. I have ...

Well a DEQX will cost you less than a set of good caps! you can buy one and play around with it for a couple of months and see for yourself, you will have fun anyway and thats what tis all about! You will need and extra preamp and 3 different amps...
|
The ground simultaneously serves as the source of all electrons entering the system and a common voltage level that establishes a baseline for the system. Thus, the ground should be simultaneously as large a homogenous metal source as possible while ...
|
Romy, I can very much relate to the objective of faithfully reproducing the music's original complexity, and that the margin for intentional editing is limited and inevitably results in sameness. My point is that while in live music full complexity a...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...
