It has been a little wild trip from Portsmouth NH (our second home) to Montreal. The weather was wonderful and the drive was surprisingly easy. The trip in the way reminds me my audio trips from the past, with talks and thinking about audio here ...

So-called omnidirectional sound (of course here we are talking only about 360 degrees within a two-dimesional plane) is framed in the concept of emulating the microphone. This makes no sense to me, since it, firstly , fails to emulate the microphone....

Hello all!Some people call omnidirectional spekers "Hallsoßenwerfer" (reverb sauce throwers), some people even accept price and sensitivity of an MBL 101. While I find the MBL too diffuse, I still find there is something special about a speaker being...

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

Your audiophile buddies must be deaf stitch, the Cessaro room was easily the best at the show, although to be fair there wasn't much competition, Magico sounded as if the sound was being pushed into the speakers, YG wasn't bad, their sealed aluminiu...

A few years back an editor of a “famous” audio publication asked me if I write for him. I explained to him that I have no interest to build my own audio clientele, that have no cronies manufacturers whose products I would like to promote, that I ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]The Hifi Deluxe was in the Le Meridien... Would have been interesting what you think about the Duevel (and whether you like the MBL top end for being omnidirectional only).[/quote]I didn't know this, which is a shame as I definite...

[quote user="jeff1225"]I never understood the affinity that the Germans have for heavy metal. Whenever you going into any of their rooms at CES (especially MBL), Slayer is playing at 130 DB. Maybe it's the modern interpretation of Wagner.[/quote] Jef...

I have quite a confidence that if you meet and talk with Joseph Goebbels or Lavrenti Beria or with Idi Amin then they all will come along like “nice guys”. When I met and spoke with Valin he seemed “normal” as well. Hey even I appear as “a nice guy” ...

[quote user="manisandher"]Thanks for all the suggestions. As it happens, there were no exhibitors at the Flemings Hotel this year. But I did pop into the Stax stall before listening to anything else.[/quote]The Hifi Deluxe was in the Le Meridien.http...

Ehh, what do you know – I subscribe the TAS last week. I think I did it 7 years back but I was wondering if it be some kind of fun. I got my first issues a few days back and made an attempt to read it. Funny but I do not exactly understand what they ...

Well, here and there at my site I’m calling for rationalism in audio and suddenly I go enthusiastic regardless a perspectives of $200K Cessaro’s Gammas availability. Sounds hypocritical, doesn’t it? Well, not really.
I’m under no presumption that go...

RAAL showed off at RMAF 2008 this new omnidirectional speaker and it is what I would be interesting to hear. What interests me in this is the concept omnidirectivity. I have no idea if the omnidirectivity as a concept is good or bad. Previously I hea...

It is shame that in 21 century we have such mediocre, not to say moronic, park of music servers.
Whoever does music servers t know stat a file server with uncompress 24-bit files is a phenomenal source of music. So, why we have not a lot of well-per...

The idea of 360 degree radiation of sound has great intuitive appeal to me since I feel the best recordings are done with two omnidirectional microphones. The most precise reproduction of the musical event would seem to be: sounds enter microph...

Last few days listening MiniMe with B-2 my patients was running out. With all more or less OK sound my B-2 had wondering eye about imaging. The amp has a minor fluctuation of gain between the channels and this fluctuation can be addressed by …kic...

[quote user="Telstar"] Out of curiosity, how much does a Bidat costs nowadays and the Wright mods?[/quote]
This is very interesting question and I had a conversation with John Wright about it a few days ago. He asked me the same question: what the B...
