[quote user="Paul S"]...Among after-market things for the Versa was a system of tanks, hoses and filters designed to deal with the moisture and variable pressure that beset the original system, and there were also various after market pumps, and blim...

I've had rx5000 (with the ry5500 motor) for maybe 10-years now. Romy beat me to the comment that the person on audiogon that refers to these tables as tweeky and/or constantly in need of repair/missing parts has a clear agenda to sell something else!...

I've been reading these comments for years now, and it's getting pretty tired. So I think it's about time someone spoke up.I've done some work with Mr. Walker, I know the guy, and most importantly, I've ACTUALLY HEARD HIS TURNTABLE. It is a sonic wor...

Vinyl almost died after the launch of CDs, but today the popularity of vinyl playback is on the rise. Music stores are selling more music available on LPs, and many audiogon systems include turntables. So where are the full-function preamps? Before d...

hi folks, especially drdna,
Has anyone actually bothered to read my bad experience with Richard Janzen and PurePower, in https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/bad-experience-with-purepower-of-canada, before calling...

Paul,
As far as I know the Expressive Technologies have only tow models: the regular transformers and toroidal transformers. The toroidal version (SU-2) is not available publicly which left that whatever the Expressive magnetic available out there i...

I wanted to answer some questions posed by interested parties. These speakers are 8 ohm and were both manufactured on the same date in 1998.
Though I am not a regular visitor here on the Good Sound Club I am a routine contributor on the Klipsch...

Romy,
I believe that congratulations are in order for the
great threads on Audiogon sewer; the Lamm LP2 and WE417A tubes and Wavac 805 vs Lamm ML2.1.
I for one appreciate your input and sense of humor. YOU ROCK!
Take care, Tommy...

Well Romy:The format is what it is. And the idea is to encourage people to join in, share experiences, maybe be festive at this time of year...I am not here to fly to the defense of the organisers of the festival although I certainly find it interest...

Antonio, you might information about Expressive Technologies transformer at here: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Site_images/SU-1.jpg. I have linked it form ‘My Playback’ section, also in there should be link to a Stereophile article about SU-1 from ...

Okay, my point was not really the cost and not really even the magnets. (though I was surprised they were that cheap) Just the justification, but hey when has the 'high-end' needed any justification.When I was a dreamy youth there was exotica out the...

Just a brief note on my recent addition: Placette Active preamp. Due to a recent purchase of Tannoy Golds, I had the opportunity to pull an old McIntosh SS amp out of the closet recently. This amp has gain controls, so I tried running it ...

[quote user="oxric"]What's much more interesting is the practice of audio, facing practical problems, having a clear idea of what your objectives are and having some form of strategy of how to address any identified shortcomings. A lot of it is neces...

Just a few lines to the "Performance" of this piece of wood on strings for 7k $I listened to the Schroeder Reference + SQ and some custom made ones which were normally not available (Schroeder model blahblah with Valhalla cable etc.)(of course you ca...

Here is another, simplified assault after some rethink and PSUD simulations.Rectifier: 3x1.2kV SiC per phase should do the job, actually 2 would do, but I'd preferto be safe. Bridge I don't want, as there would be 6 not 3 diodes switching1750V. 1.2kV...

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,...

Contacted PurePower early 2017 and got a money-back guarantee to audition their PurePower+ 3000
Hooked up my Audio Research mono amps and powered on. With the first mono amp on, PurePower started to generate this loud buzz from...

ArmAlex the fun thing is that you read Romy posts here without understanding his ideas and copy paste Romy instructions in your Audio system and the result is lower than those audiogon guys (an example of your audio logic -> you buy gryphon spea...

.... the usual marketing blubber. The more expensive a High end Product is, the more superlatives you need to make it superior to anything else. You want the big bucks? You need a big mouth first.but we all know how this business runs. What amazes me...

Well, I finally found and implemented a digital front end that I can live with. I have been so cynical about digital up to now that I have kept and used an old, cheap Sony player (albeit one actually made in Japan...) because up to now it seeme...

Actually I would like do not use the post above as a promotion of a specific speaker or a specific topology - it is what the cretins from Audiogon do. I’d rather like to suggest whoever cares to think about our idiotic consumer conformism when we, th...

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...

People who read my site are accustomed that in my section “Audio News” are published the semi-sarcastic articles about different aspects of audio industry. This article however is far from satire and now I would like just to publish one none-invented...

[quote user="JLH"] Other than being completely ridiculous in appearance, this guy didn’t even bother to time align any of the drivers. [/quote]
This exactly what is the most fun in that system! Sometime people do not do the time alignment because it...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eli, I as any other person on consumer side, do sympathize
with how you feel. I would like however to point out that this site is not the
best door for you to knock. Audiogon for instance (and many others) specialize

Well, it is always difficult to me to deal with audio people because any expressing any abstract notion in front of them those enslaved people perceived as a preamble to some kind of “deliverable good” and the sick audiophile imagination has already ...

Well, I realized that it is not good idea to revoke a reply option and particularly when I ridicule people. Therefore, I opened up this thread for replies. My initial idea was not to interfere with disagreements but rather to keep the initial posts c...

[quote user="Gregm"]I would agree. I'd feel that the objective of "audio journalism" (for wont of a better description) is entertainment -- not an "evaluation" that can be used for reference purposes.So, the components discussed/presented are simply ...

Since the 2007-2008 alchemic music season and consequentially live FM season was over (the event I marked with my “End of the live Phonostage”) I have been spinning a lot of vinyl lately. So, I spent some time with different phono cables with my diff...

STYLUS CLEANING – LIKE MAGIC! I own a ZeroDust, an XtremePhono and some liquid stylus cleaners, but I don’t use them anymore. Why? Because none of them works as well as a product I bought at the supermarket for a few pennies. I've been using th...
