The fact is, typical "stereo" L and R separation is mostly an engineering hodge-podge to begin with, and any further messing with it will be very much settled by ear, whether at line or at speaker level. Yet James Bongiorno set out to "solve" the pr...

[quote user="steverino"]My point is not that separation per se must always be maintained but that the character of the music determines the degree of optimum separation or co-location. For example the first violins are grouped together for a reason s...

In the thread: “The industry-embraced audio and classical music” Stitch made a post that implied that the industry-sponsored indifferent sound is more attracted to the people who has a lot of money. I do not know how accurate that observation but...

[quote user="N-set"]This is unfortunately +/- what I'd expect from torsion field followers.Akimov and Shipov are two Russian "academics" behind the very concept.[/quote]Excuse me, can I dumb. I ask: What does Mr. Akimov IMET to audio? Or Mr. Thorns? ...

[quote user="haralanov"] It is certainly very very important, but how many systems you have listened where you can not be able to recognize the HFs as disconnected part of the sound? I just wanted to ask if you have ever heard a system, where the...

Maybe it's also the very "visual" mind and related vocabulary trying to express audio ideas? While there are any number of verbal strategies for describing sound, most hinge on "visuals".Another visual is the new-ish process whereby items (generally ...

[quote user="Stitch"]Is there a
definition of "sound like shit"?[/quote]
Stitch, this is VERY good question. I think the

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I mean that EQ is a fine “tactical solution” but it a very bad strategic direction. [/quote]
I guess the question of the strategic value is dependent on the strategy.[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Look, there ar...

Jessie,I just managed to snag a used Wavelength Brick version 1 for a very good price. The Brick and Cosecant v2 use the same DAC section, unless you purchase a newer Cosecant v3 that is offered with an upgrade to a multi-bit 24/96 DAC chip. I listen...

yes, very well put. I have enough 'intuition' to have understood, unless you wish this to be THE one and only... As to the 'linearity first', I was talking about the first generally accepted step in cross-over tuning and measuring. I know this if far...

Hm.... I generally late to technology innovations in audio and I am OK with it. As many of you know many of "innovations" in audio are very much shooting to a wrong target and in most of the instances with a wrong dun and wrong ammunition. The new o...

Here's a computer playback approach that I though people might be interested in. In many ways, it's pretty much the leading edge of computer playback as far as I know.The idea here is to isolate the DAC as much as possible from the PC. All the audio ...

I hope i could have a comparison between New Audio Note UK CDT-Six Transport and the CEC TL0 3.0.

How came that I can’t write a file longer then 2G? As I remember form past, the FAT partition had limitation of 2G but my drives are NTFS formatted and it should not be an issues. Perhaps a WAV file has by nature 2G limits, doesn’t it? If this is the...

I would like in this article to propose my view how I see the high-end audio should be. It is not a secret, and it has been expressed in many of my comments within my site and everywhere else, that I am dissatisfied not only the state of high-end...

Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note does traditionally price its pro...
