Well, spent a few more hours to listening Avicenna. Although it has much better sound then from the wall but there are a lot of moments in this sound that I do not like. It is kind of freakish and demoralizing as Avicenna feeds system with absolutely...

The Thread was written from Romy 2006, I don't know when I read it the first time but it was an eye opener for me. In a way, one of the very best Analysis ever written.
6 years later (2012) every single sentence is still valid about morons, idiots,...

A few weeks ago Amphissa sent me a collection of recordings of Myaskovsky. I knew Myaskovsky, head his Sixth Symphon, “something else” and his cello concerto but to have a pile of selected CDs by a great aficionado of the Myaskovsky's music really he...

The "Super
Mod"
The Bidat was originally designed with 3 separate crystal-based voltage controlled
oscillators. This was unique because we had the crystals specially made to be

[quote user="JANDL100"]Tintner's is quite possibly my favourite opening of the 7th - hushed, mysterious, tremulous and Oh, so atmospheric. Wonderful sound quality too![/quote] Well, eventually I got a civilized person reading this site.

Romy:I hope you go ahead with your project of installing the horns in your attic as you are probably the only person who might pull it off, but if my opinion was solicited, I think you would be very ill-advised to do so. Firstly, the costs involved a...

For a casual observer it might appear that I am constantly fought with my ULF, finding and loosing better and worse configurations. It might be so but I have a very strong sense of objective of what I would like to accomplish. I want to reinstat...

At CES there were Viagra-junkie sized power cords everywhere for $5000. Around our room were $10k and $20k speakers that sounded like a wet jukebox. It was the land of delusion.Value per topology is one way to measure but let's instead start with a p...

OK, here are some follow up thoughts after the completion of the project. I am sure I will burn it for a month or so. I think everything will be fine, I do not expect any issuers technical or sonic. The way how the entrance to the corrector done it i...

Will I be listening to all my sources via the inverse RIAA?
Well, the question was sarcastic but it has some rational grains. If the signal passing via the 834PTF-Air does receive some positive attributes despite of the presumed nastiness of t...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, doesn't Tim de P also use this cool Miller capacitance idea in his never-mentioned "high end" tubed corrector? Also, do I remember reading that he runs both channels through the two halves of the same twin-triod...

I do not do the idiotic quizzes “who is the best” and who would be the top 5 or 10 in some bogus lists but a few days ago I did asked myself who is among 20 century composers I feel was the most interesting and the most appreciated by me. While...

I have to admit that some of my opponents might consider my organizational views on high-end audio too socialistic and will recognize in my view some residues of me growing up in socialistic society. Leaving aside the prejudicial and completely fooli...

I’ve been thinking about all this electricity stuff…
I’ve stopped using all power conditioning devices since Bush got re-elected, and I consequently left the country to start a new life in the land of 220v/50Hz (this BTW, is not an exaggeration).

I constantly complain that the majority of audio people have corrupted listening culture. The last time I was bitching about it in the article “Remote control - the ultimate enemy.” However, the remote control is juts one of the tools of corruption. ...

Romy,
Your approach makes sense; I will look into fitting a "12.5 db voltage divider".
As I did not have any noise issues when using the same equipment with a variety of direct radiating speakers, I can only speculate as to what other informat...
