I had yesterday a visitor from west coast came to my place and we spent sometime to listen some music. It is interesting that among all music that I played for him I had little interest to how my playback sounded unless I played Bruckner. I kind of...

[quote user="Paul S"]On a lighter note, I have actually read some interesting - if relatively simplistic - commentary on Tone at guitar forums. Too bad about their bases for the discussions, however, and I will close by saying it bodes well for anyo...

I need to say that for whatever reasons the midbass horns acts as a phenomenal tranquilizing sedative to listen some older recordings. The midbass horns make bad sound much more palatable and make attention to be much less distracted to quality of ...

Since my left channel along with midbass horn is more or less configured I made today a first rest of the full assembly - with LF section. The midbass does somewhere hear 40Hz and I set the LF section for 34Hz, drove it from B2 via the SMS crossover....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last night Levine and BSO played a phenomenal Mahler 5, truly great play. I had some issues with BSO sound and I probably will bring it up to them. Tonight I decided to listen the M5 broadcast for the first time and I ...

Thanks, John. We all adults and we all know how much difference between Realty and what we see on TV, particularly if we have done TV for living. As I told Sakuma might be is more interesting then the cult that I feel purely artificially is made abou...

[quote user="serenechaos"] I think Romy's just jealous of all those conical horns, as endorsed by "he who shall not be named..." (sorry, to me, they're the distraction when looking @ this installation. I just keep thinking how colored every conical...

[quote user="Serge"] The sound I like most was the one at Audio Tekne's room. I never listened to them before. The speakers were very ugly. I'd say extremely ugly. And 4-way, drive units arranged as if by chance. The big ugly turntable cost 53000 eur...

Today a guy I know from south coming to my listening room to hear my payback. He is mingling with horns, he heard my installation in city and he is very much interested to hear my new listening room and the most important my new midbass horn. He actu...

I know it is a difficult subject but as it has to do less with audio but more with life priorities. Still, the practice indicates that the short-wall installations for acoustic systems of the topology that Steve is trying to make will never work. Sur...

[quote user="drdna"] BUT, I think it is more exactly what you say that the midrange horn is round and the lower midrange horn is rectangular. They sound different and it is more easy for me to hear the presence of the rectangular horn. [/quote]...

I’m very far from being able to express any more or less valuable opinion on the subject however, what I understand that they/you are taking about small signal-level devised. Whatever it worth, I feel that pure SS can care line-level tasks perfectly ...

Well, Daren,there is a huge difference between the 1.200 sq feet and 12.000 sq feet. The 1.200 sq feet is a good size room the 12.000 sq feet is good size concert hall for a couple thousand people…. So we are back to a sane listening room…. :-)Intere...

The damn Milqs and everything else do a lot of hit and I have been running during the hot days a pair of small monitors with consumer-grade 100V A/B amplifier. The only requirement that I have that the 100V A/B is driver from my default preamp and I ...

At the 7-level perceptual paradigm was operating not Sakuma by Cho-sun for Micro-Seiki. Sakuma was not operating in my view at any level but just listed highly band-passed, highly compressed gray sound. Nl, feels that “Systems like these are all abou...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I played the full system today driven from Avicenna possessor.[/quote]Yay! [quote user="Romy the Cat"]It was interesting.[/quote]Uh oh. [quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, in my view this sonic elasticity of sound was with Avic...

Actually it turned out that LE5-2/2105 are much more complicated driver and to sound right it need way more complex crossover then juts a band-pass the I initially unused. I spend some time with it today but did not find a configuration the I feel co...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Funny I thought that that for MiniMe it would not be so critical but as soon I plugged the DEQ-2496 in MiniMe pass I have heard that depersonalized DEQ sound.[/quote]It is funny how some people seem to not hear this at all ...

I am now involved in incredibly interesting project (tell you later about it what have firm result) where I need to use a between stages a cap that cares 1V and practically no current. The best film caps that I tried were 100V-400V and they actually ...

[quote user="Paul S"] I have stated several times that the ML2s are less sensitive to bad electricity than my phono stage, and this is true. However, this is not to say that the amps are immune to bad electricity. In fact, it is the effects of bad el...

I don´t know whether the audio industry`s products are so sophisticatet that they need mathematical steam hammers to improve them. In a German forum there is a discussion about a diploma work from the TU Berlin where the student found out in psychoac...

[quote user="Paul S"]What a relief! No matter how many times it happens, at some point I always wind up adjusting my system to compensate for bad electricity! [/quote] I would concur with it – sine the temperature dropped last week here in Boston the...

I have heard that here and there an advertising of new 12AX7 production.http://www.musicdirect.com/product/73403I wonder if it is the truly new production of some kind of new manufacturer (like Emission Labs or similar) or juts rebranded and repainte...

[quote user="haralanov"] The ribbon is 100% tonally … If you use this tweeter lower than 10kHz your system will be totally unlistenable because you cannot reproduce the proper tone of harmonics.[/quote] It is pretty much what I found as well during m...

OK, I agree – it might be not necessary as PP2000 does produce fine electricity in a convenient package. Furthermore it violates the rule that I try to follow in audio generally: define snick objective and ONLY then render audio methods.

Eventually I have found the Bruckner Second symphony that is played how I feel it need to be played. The recording is from 1973: Horst Stein lead the mighty Wiener Philharmoniker. I got my CD on Decca Eloquence. This is unspeakably wonderful and I h...

[quote user="JJ Triode"] My reaction is that, arrangement- and performance-wise, it would make excellent elevator music in something like a Marriott [/quote] Yes, this is very accurate observation and this type of music very dominates the stupid audi...

Listening today Scharwenka Piano Concerto No1 by Earl Wild and BSO under Erich Leinsdorf. I am not so wild about the concerto, there is a reasons why all 4 Scharwenka’s concertos are on second and their tears of piano concertos repertoire. However, ...
