[quote user="Max Shatsky"] I find the playing by Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment as the most boring, sorry, I don't get it. [/quote]
In my view the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s play it not boring but rather not flashy and not overly...

You can find a brief description here: http://www.salicru.es/index.php?id=1678&L=2 My unit is a RE-1009 2T, which means has double transformer, but it's not the extra noise filtering model which they call NS. Looking at this I'm quite sure i...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] That is very good approach in my view. The
problem is in this approach that you have to have high sensitively speakers
that you would be able to use with that test full-range Milq. The behavior of
the Full range Milq wi...

I am not well familiar with what Berkeley. Their voyage to the beginnings unit that the company started was irrelevant to me and then thinner USB version did not attract my attention. It is not that I feel that they were bad units. I never had th...

Hi Romy,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I would discard the test disk truck– I never use it. Take a silent space between the cuts (test disk!) and make a needle at your operational VTF to be in stationary ay a bit more than a half record.In fact it is ar...

This new “Rev B” Ortofone Jubilee surprised me with it amassing agreeability
I have a nasty habit to emphasize in my listening attention the things that I do not appreciate. I might listen something, would it be amp, or speaker, or live event,...

Well, as I do play trumpets professionally and own much more than 6 instruments, I thought that I would chime in.First of all, Romy, this is one of the most lucid descriptions of pitch that I have ever read! It also raises a point for discussion:If I...

[quote user="Brian Clark"]I will be VERY interested in your more thorough evaluation. I hummed and hawed between the CG 25Dia and the SPU Mono before springing for the latter, expected next week. My speakers could do with a bit of upper bass help.[/q...

I was thinking about it in past. I do not particularly believe too much in point source. We have no vertical resolution by our hearing and if drivers located strictly in a vertical line then in longitude domain they are single point source. Of course...

[quote user="Paul S"]Joaco, all this will probably be moved back to the "Electricity" thread, which is not really an APS Forum, as it has appeared for a while, now.
Paul[/quote]Yes , I made a mistake ... it will be much better in the Electricity thr...

[quote user="Paul S"] I remembered a host of "old" drivers from my past (not old at the time...) that, if memory serves, sounded rather muffled and slow, with humped response[/quote]Yes, Paul, that's exactly the way they sound in their original condi...

[quote user="el`Ol"]…. there is some characteristic shining or radiance… [/quote] Yes and no. Radiance probably is a very good word to describe Wilsons. (Search the site for Focal Utopia TN51) The key in here is not letting the artificial radiance to...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Bidat, for whatever reason is remarkably sensitive to electricity, probably it is more sensitive than any other my priced of equipment. What however is ugly is that during different time, during the different problem with e...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]FM Acoustics’s Manuel
Humber speaks about his Harmonic Linearizer device. It is very possible that this FM Acoustics preamp is a fine
unit and that it does better than other EQ solutions but why the EQ solution

Interesting post, Dominick. However, my views are way more radical. I am not for discouraging – I am for a complete elimination. What I feel should be elimination is a superstructure that sets artificial and completely bogus hierarchy in audio. We ra...

[quote user="skushino"]Guys, my attention has been elsewhere the past couple of weeks. The catalyst for the original post was to go beyond the usual "speakers in a room" approach, and use the room itself as an integral part of the sound. IB seemed ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yep, Telstar. The 1547 was use in Sony and Teac CD players and believe the first CD-SACD machines used that chip. I know very little about those chips and have none of my personal experience to deal with all of it. The reas...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I got the new BSO 88/24 files them briefly listened a few fragments. Generally I do like them and they are nothing like the 320kbps multi-channel WMA that BSO marketed before. My fear that the files might have issues with t...

[quote user="noviygera"]Kris,thanks. Here's what I have:>>There is a
caveat: The combined input impedance of the power amps must be at least
10 times the output impedance of the preamp. Otherwise the load will
kill the sound of your playback...

[quote user="rowuk"]How many sources do you currently have? If you are building a phono corrector, make it for 4 volts output. If you have a PC for digital playback, there are good DACs with more than 2V output. That would leave a tuner to pimp - cer...

I should add that disconnecting the "ground" wire as mentioned above will most likely not solve the issue.
It will likely also be necessary to ground the chassis of the components directly (to a nearby water pipe for example).
When grounding t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Do you personally recognize the sonic impact of bad electricity in your own playback?[/quote]no, not in the sense that i assume you mean it. instead i have my own beef with bad electricity, which i suspect is different fro...

I got my pair of F120A by-the-book bookshelves a few weeks ago and yes, in the beginning they were very much "compressed" sounding. Things improved a bit over time, but the low treble (which gives instruments their "color") is still recessed. So I ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, I did do a fair amount of fishing trying to find a "consumer" source for a matched pair of ElectroCube 950Ds. These puppies may not be expensive but they are "exotic" in their own way because hard to source for average chum...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Still, doing whatever crazy and Macondo-dedicated things I will be doing with one stage I will have my full-range Milq as a tested reference trying to get result no worse then the one that I got from a “default” Melquiades ...

There are some information here and here, particularly among those who knows, how the misbalance of the power polarity between the components of your systems can screw sound. Certainly the auditable benefits are very substantial and anyone who power ...

If we look generally at stability from bridges to optical measurement benches, mass has one function - tune resonance or place it outside of the desired passband. Other methods are chosen when we want to convert energy to heat.Do we know what a "ligh...

I have come across this company mentioned in a preview on '6moons,' and the information on the company's website suggests that this is in theory really a complete solution, and one that makes sense even to the non-engineer that I am to...
