Romy, as you can see, I have never wrote that these parasitic sounds depend ONLY on the quality of the drivers. It is quite obvious they depend on many many many other things (practically everything) as for example bad microphones, bad microphone cab...

Yep, I was trying to evaluate the opportunities – it is not that I what to have a lot of space but I would like to add the space in random order. The external network drives wanted me to buy the identical drives in today prices, too expansive of I go...

I can’t figure out what it is since it is a first Ortofon that I opened. Can you tell me what it is? Anyhow, I am little disappointed as I anticipated that it should be a purely mono cartridges. I wounded what I have to do with it if I have only 2 ca...

I must say I've never came in to intimate contact with cables and avoid it untill I can, so yes all my arguments are theoretical.By amplifying I ment of course voltage, not power and ass-u-med that the external noise as well as the cable distortion a...

[quote user="tokyo john"]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 doe...

[quote user="steverino"]I think this only works with grossly deficient recordings. I believe Levinson chose a historical recording as his example for the reviewer. But it allows the FM Acoustics listener to spend endless hours fiddling with the contr...

Unbelievable idiot! Last night an audio guy visited me and I played to him some music. I was not sitting in the listening spot but what stroked me was now stringent and how shallow the playback sounded. I was waling around the listening room, scratch...

Actually (probably because of the phase coherence and tight dispersion control) they sound very good even with some basic equipments, like the small 300 USD Parasound zAmp for example, but I like them most with the pro MC2 Audio MC1250 amps or the Fr...

It uses at the buttom a regular sealed or ported box and the driver as direct radiator but they also put the speaker on the spikes and made the bottom looks like it is a horn output. Also at this larger model[/quote]On the smalle...

Romy, I am on the verge of an L-pad for my HF ribbons, but in my case I believe it is mostly the MC cartridge response I am wanting to offset, on a case by case basis.Also, this would allow me to adapt HF to recordings, since there are some...

[quote user="drdna"]After all some people proclaim there is no difference with different wires; clearly not true. BUT, it is a difference that is important to only some people. Is it possible Romy cannot hear the sonic problems that are solved by the...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Here's my latest hallucination :So I'm sitting there listening and sucking down a beer, when, à propos de rien, it comes to me; more on how to neutralize a suspended floor. After shoring it up with screw jacks (which btw, ...

As much as the concept of MiniMe I find is supremely useful as much it was unlucky in my implementation. I went over a number of monitors, then built my own versions of MiniMe, then in the new room I used Danlavy SCIII. Some of them were good but it ...

You force me to say that you are really rude person , or at least you make an effort to be so . Do you really think I'm so stupid to want a line filter which costs $ 5000 only "to reduce high frequencies " ? The electrical line in my houseis terrible...

Let it be known that I am nearly clueless when it comes to electronics. Building speakers, racks, pianos, or just about anything mechanical is no problem for me to build myself and, unlike Romy, it is usually pleasant for me for various reasons....

...to obsess about speaker wire. Thinking about this a little more I realise that my preference for foil cables has always been in relation to speakers with passive crossovers. DSET is much more simple, the amplifier is driving the transducer direc...

Most of my colleagues are more interested in HOW the recorded music was performed than how it was recorded or played back. When I listen to music, even my cheap iPhone speaker gives me a respresentation of the players "soul".Add that to the pain in t...

Charlus, it is not about an expression of gratitude, trust me, I am very indifferent neither to criticism or appreciation. Ironically what you are trying to do is in a way an organic holding a touch of a few audio ideas that I happened to advocate as...

Paul, I do not care about dusts. I coved what need to be coved about the rest…. I do not care. The building of midbass - is a final stage of my moving and ….unpacking. So, I did not put any “vulnerable” furniture in the house as I knew that the midba...

Who knows why, but I can get away with running tiny, unshielded 6N POCC Cu arm wires straight into my step-up transformer. OTOH, I absolutely have to use shielded cable for the run between my step-up tranny and the K&K. For well-shielded phono ...

Today I was trying to make some experiments. I made some recodings to my reel-to-reel machine from LP. I did not go crazy and ran fairly poor cables just off my preamps. It was BASF 486 at 15ips ½ track. It was not bad, in fact quite good....

OK here is another take of the same section. This time with the Aesthetix Callisto. I set the Tascam's inputs to "bypass" and used the volume controls on the Callisto to attenuate the signal to about the same level as the previous recording...

[quote user="mem916"] OK, I finally have my sample re-recorded in a format matching your file. Details are the same as before. (I set the Tascam inputs to "bypass" and used the Callisto to attenuate the signal. Levels are the same.) The only chan...

Unfortuanately, the NJ Symphony "Golden Collection" is up for sale. The orchestra paid so much for the collection, they can not pay off the debt. They are looking for high rollers who can buy the instruments, but permit the orchestr...

I know, I know, you all need from each other are the building plans and building ideas. You all need to know are the list of the drivers, list of horns types, and list of the recommendation how to drive the channels. But I would like to note that wit...

Romy, Why do you think the improved sonics were related to the residual noise or more precisely the hypothetical delta of noise components from one day to the next? You were very non specific about what was better and to what degree. If you are perc...

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...

The fact that cost in audio does not mean sound quality knows everyone and everyone, particularly whose sell expensive audio, love to pitch it. However, we all understand the cost/sound misbalance but we very seldom take it personally.
