I would say that Las Cases is a closer knit, more "balanced", typically lighter wine, and Barton is more "au sauvage", often quite rough when young. And I would say the same of THE DRC (regarding knit and balance, in any case) vs La Tasche, which I ...

I tried yesterday a test sail. It is a single sail that I ran a bit ahead of listening position. The sail is polyester foamy material, hairy and light: 15 years is about 5 ounces. The effect is generally positive and expected but I have to say that...

Romy, even though code-conscious electricians install your special ground rod for you, they will still in all likelihood want to tie the neutral wires from your dedicated 30A lines back to the ground bus in the breaker box where they get their 30A fe...

... this last time ive been doing some "ear" experiments and trying different setups of filtering . Just a question regarding a phenomena that im having , ive tried some ups/on-line regenerators and I think they tend to "smooth" all music but they do...

Let's see if I can magically produce a cd-dvd-preamp-remote volume conntrol-equalizer-wifi-d/a-save stations-and cost under $1000. And it will even tune in TV stations, record them, FM and internet files and even do a/d encoding up to 24/192. Can't b...

Ok, I have not fully seen the temporal context, it was 1993!! Chapeau!I did read about the algorithm, I just reacted to the claimes about the balanced DAC being "also unique",which I quoted in the first line.Now I understand, it was in its time. Diya...

Amir, the RCA vs. balanced can be a huge difference, depending on the application, and the longer the runs, the greater the difference. But I was talking about the materials and construction of available connectors, which are primarily made the way t...

I am all set with my reference arm but my dally arm with SME 3009/Otophone SPU Classic severely underperforms in my view. The arm use Otophone SPU Classic that is all together is OK balanced cartridge. Nothing overly exciting but more or less neu...

I took receipt of my new Anima speakers yesterday.Aesthetically, they match my listening room very well. Early days, but sonically, driven by my 211 mono amps with Elrog output tubes, they easily better any other speaker I've had in this room. It's f...

Romy, On a past thread you adviced the following regarding the connection of the PM2:"You will not have problems to drive with balanced Pacific your
single-ended amp. Juts buy a good quality XLR to RCA adapter or order
XLR to RCA cable and you wi...

Many people know that I run a side business doing wedding photography. During the 24 years that I have been doing the wedding gigs, and after over 950 jobs that I went through I kind of have seen all imaginable wedding bands. Certainly the “events mu...

I have to admit that I personally care less about powerful full-range SET amplifiers. I do not take their sound seriously, in fact I do not believe they are cable to do “right full-range sound” and what I see then I always imagine them with huge, bar...

The really serious piano players I know either ignore it or buy a different piano. I have NEVER worked with a pianist that tried to make a piano something it currently wasn't. I think that when you are obcessed with your playing there are no syna...

I was listrening to Hoenniger/Bach Suites yesterday and I don't know which exact instrument he plays for these 1973 German Telefunken recordings (stereo LPs), but that damn cello of his was just ripping the room to shreds, with its bass notes as powe...

Paul,My current active crossover is a DSP unit which likely has low enough input impedance and single ended inputs. I added BAL inputs by using input transformers. By no means do I want to use this combination as a representation of my crossover! I i...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]… I do not fully understand the relationship between output impedance and diaphragm control; also I don't know what you mean by "negative impedance". Your mid-bass drivers have 15 Ohm coils; from what you write, I assume y...

Steve,
I hardly know what the NXT panels are and I hardly undusted them even after reading the 6moon article. I kind of understand what you are trying to accomplish, though I perhaps not exactly agree with the methods and means. Still, when we talk ...

I touched on local electricity problems in a recent electricity post. Briefly, the local nuclear plant has been shut down by concerned politicians after "leaks" were detected. Setting aside mutated flora and fauna, sound has been worse more of the ...

Nerds may care to look at Lampizator's study of the TDA1549T chipset in use for hi-fi. The iDAT 44+ uses 4 of these chips, 2/channel, driven Class A, in balanced mode. I have mentioned the use of this chipset before, but in another thread, also Mus...

I have heard several Tannoy speakers in the past, but have never heard the quality of sound Romy has obtained with his brain child. I don't know whether it is the speakers alone or his setup which has allowed his system to enthrall so much more than ...

My playback is specifically for ME. I am not so much interested in hearing if the trumpet player farts, but am very interested in the orchestral fabric and how players move their instruments in and out of that. Row 15, refers to my favorite row at th...

The demonstration of the WE equipment was impressive as was looking closely at how these horns were constructed. The arrangement (originally it would have been mono) was to provide the audience seated both in the stalls or circle with an evenly bala...

I think that I've never experienced a pair of speakers placed to achieve the DPoLS, but once I had mine quite close since the "sound" was something special, which trascended the features of individual sounds and helped to make music an experience qui...

Simply put, this concept has more to do with tangible results than most other things we talk about. At least, potentially. In the same way that a person might go to the ophthalmologist and get a pair of prescription eyeglasses to see clea...
