user="rowuk"]For all practical purposes, ESD has“proper“ horns and
apparently decent drivers. Thus, we have a chance with this collection of bits
to have some decent sonic results. Now we just need a process, perhaps the most

Guys,
You really misunderstood this CD. This is just a compilation of GOOD MUSIC well performed and interpreted and it has nothing to do with audio. For instance now of my compilations CDs I ever played on my playback. Those CDs are good enough for ...

OK, thanks. I would leave for others to decide what the “higher resolution image” might mean. It might be some kind of untranslatable Japanese folklore. The more vibrant color palette is definably a valid accomplishment, no one knows through if it is...

[quote user="mats"]Good to hear about your week with Mussorgsky Romy. I came upon a mono Leibowitz / RPO RCA the other day. It has its moments IMHO. There seems also to be a new HMV Richter Sofia recital cd from HMV:

I had one for about a week and was not happy. Switched to a Kenwood KT1100.
Here an honest review that matches my experience. Bottom line is that on stuff this old, the individual buyer will determine the price, not the market.

We had this exchange with Christopher Witmer, who lives in Japan, via the AA about the new driver form some small Japanese manufacturer. The dirt who runs that form has deleted the whole development. Hm, people wonder why for years I have a vocal and...

[quote user="enjoy_the_music"] Making a vacuum hold down is quite simple, but would it be easier to use a device like the old Audio Technica AT-666? I guess the material used in the latter is not the ultimate. You don't need a great amount of vacuum ...

This miserable Japanese freaks did it again!

Yes, we all have a place we like to sit for live music, where the resonances and interactions with the space and walls of the hall to give us an effect we find most pleasing.
We readily accept this for live music, w...

As usually I tend to see a generalization and patters. The very same is the case of that Brazilian installation with those Japanese hors. However, I would like to take it even further then just the very questionable design decisions in that upperbass...

[quote user="starboy"]I decided recently to add the Shelter 901 to my collection of 'Groove Riderz' and wondered what was the justification of the price hike for the 90X. Read the same review as yourself and thought that I learn't nothing other than ...

Joe,
A few comments I need to make.
First, about the WE. I think it is a bit cheap, to bring to the table with me the arguments of the level that the “editor of the biggest and most influential magazine in the world, Stereo Sound, who can get...

The cone soaking is a whole another subject all together. It is possible to make amassing changes with drivers, from taking the sound out off roof to complete killing sound. I know that effect Glycerin has to paper cone. There are hundreds of other c...

Had a wonderful visit with my Japanese friend. But now she's flying West over the Pacific, and I wanted to add my experience to the TH discussion.The main benefit of the TH is the relatively small mouth compared with a traditional horn. That's all....

I do not know if it was because economy, because the Japanese events early on this year or because any other reasons but there is a lot of Goto drivers for the last couple months on used market. The prices go down and it looks like nowadays the G...

Unfortunately there was no further explanation, analyses, or a desire to look deeper (as usually on internet audio). [/quote]Glad you enjoyed the "Philosophy" section by Imai-san... some of his old writings deeply influe...

One of the emails that I receive is very interesting. The author warns: “...when experimenting with throaths I found that if the compression is big, near 2 or higher you get some big, smooth, unfocused aqualung sound. You are never scared at listen...

PP2000 currently has glitch. However in comparison to the sound my system produced before PP2000 in system, I can never go back to wall power. Even prior to APS I had system plugged into Richard Gray units. The gray crackling artifacts have been r...

This is in interesting Bruckner. Asahina plays this 9 in 2000 like someone would play Brahms. While I was listening it I did not think about the music but about audio. This Tokyo orchestra realty does not have “it”, even though I do like what A...

Mr. Witmer seems like a very thoughtful and well-spoken person who is taken with the aesthetics/approach of various Japanese sound Senseis, most of whom are in turn rooted in "historical" American and/or English audio sensibilities. I'm afraid ...

A typical switching supply does not evenly load the input (sinewave) power source and can create some dirt on the AC line (Paul's "backwash" statement??). Depending on many variables, the amount of contamination the switching supply could contribute...

Well, I would say this CES was very low on decent sound. Sometimes I had to fight with the urge to leave a room or two immediately after hearing a few bars of music being played.Still the hope is not lost. At a fringe show at the Flamingo hotel (THE ...
