While seeking for a CD capable of covering a low mid range, say from 300hz or under, I am offered a pair of TOA compression drivers of rather impressive size. Unfortunatelly a seller has no clue what model it is, except "it sounds as seducing as ...

Hi Stephano
Nice to read. Agree. But reg. my concern to new Japanese way of woofing with 5cm compression drivers...
Did you try once a uncompressed drum-play in live level?
I mean judging woofers performance with a violin is somewhat difficult...

I just got an email from a site visitor that there is a pair of one year old GOTO 146 woofers floating in Japanese Yahoo.

The price is $8.5K whoever would like to try them be...

Well,
If driving medium has no or neglible importance that's even better!
If you tried tape, you've got the pulley already so why mess up with trying to get required rubber belt lenghts?
" seems to be in fashion" meant that some people prefer it t...

Yes the first movement is killer in that Brahms.
For Tchaikovsky’s 4, 5 and 6th the Leningrad/Mravinsky is altogether fine, especially the latest Japanese release of “The Originals”. The mono releases from mid 50s are better, and especially the 6th...

The Mravinsky’s and his orchestra trip to Austria in 1960 and this recording of the last 3 Tchaikovsky’s Symphonies are well known. I am sure any of us have a number of Italian pressed box-sets with 3 records of this performance. Yes, the Mravinsky’s...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

My playback was in “distraction mode” for a few weeks. The electricity is horrible nowadays, summer… The arrival of APS made me to reposition all components disconnect everything and the failure of the APS so far to do what I want it to do did not en...

It seems like lots of folks use parts to try to tune/voice their systems, and the V-Caps are just another option, IMO. No matter what people think of new parts as they break them in, they will eventually tire of the overall sound from...

…the theory that you not correctly presented BTW. Is it in an amp with a half-dozen series transformers Sakuma has the “killing bass”? The Sakuma amps are bandwidth limited by default, it is what BTW Sakuma went to DSET to fight the bandw...

Really, it is kind of strange that there is no good Chinese (at least know to me) recording companies. There is a huge number of good or sometimes even near-great Chinese musicians around the world and there is a nice positive momentum on academic mu...

Scott,
Unfortunately Bruno Walter is not my guy, and particularly on Richard Strauss and therefore I would not help you. However, I would suggest you to find a different, more productive venue to research performances after those “just heard” exper...

Well, it is hard to say anything more about Josef Hofmann then what already was said. VAI have a good collection of 4 CDs with #3 and #4 being the most interesting

Hi,Thanks for the response. I came here through searching for
music, specifically the 'Computer on the radio' music that was posted

When I read raves from low powered amps with such speaker designs I ask myself, is it product placement or is there a different kind of listening among Americans, Japanese, Europeans...?
I made a visit to an audiophile with Lamm LL1, ML3 and Wilson ...

[quote user="Gregm"]This would involve some researching... thus introduing (possibly unecessary) complexity: look for a Sony or Yamaha or Sansui "power j-fet" amp. These were produced s/where in the mid '70s and should be very cheap now. I have ...

[quote user="Wojtek"]say how much the old man is involved in all this cult and noise around him? I've also read all the poetic stuff on the site and can't say that this mystical aproach is not appealing. I had the impression that Sakuma just entertai...

Reggie, let to be clear that I use definition of kitsch in reference to audio installation. The Camerata as a cultural event is out of my criticism; in fact I applauded to what they did. The Camerata video did not bring me to the idea of perceivi...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] At least I have significant WE experience! Romy, you have none to speak of, yet you are super-opinionated on the subject. Someday you might learn the truth. The big WE horn systems are a different league entirely from m...

[quote user="JANDL100"] I have just listened to it - you are right - very very good. I will send you a recording Asahina made of the 5th in 1960. I think you will enjoy it very much as well. .... dare I say it is even better t...

Now, -- I don’t think if I may call myself a very intelligent person. Some would say so – B U T then there are others that would have it differently. My spelling is not too good at times, and so some people would consider this to be a sign of lacking...

Good afternoon Romy! I'm Pat Mattucci, and I'd like to respond to your post.How interesting you would post a response to my humble question to an obscure little group on my birthday, of all days. I'm honored. I also happen to be from the Philadelphia...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Interesting the stressing the importance of the listening room Rakesh went into depth of discussing reference clocks and YL drivers that are very irrelevant to the subject of the rooms. The Rony’s comment about the expressi...

Alex,
if you still care bout the Beethoven’s symphonies then here is a sexy lead for you.
There are many-many releases of the celebrated psychedelic performance of the Ninth by Furtwangler’s in 1942. Probably the “Music and Art’s” was the best re...

Wow, price inflation in TTs were a lot worse than I thought! (more than 400% in nominal prices in the example of Goldmund).
You are right, the prices in audio seem a riddle wrapped in a mystery within an enigma. As a manufacturer, it is almost...
