Hello Paul,The first stage is a pentode, so the Miller cap is negligible. As for the other things you mentioned, there is a detailed exploration, which covers some of your points, by Dave Slagle at:http://www.intactaudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=102...

That is the source of my constant bitching for years: what the CD players do not read the dist with WAV. If you have a raw 16/44 file that still might sound OK then burring the file on CD kills everything. So, why do not make the CD players and trans...

Romy says "I have his 8
symphony with Métropolitain and it is at time very stimulating. Now I
wonder, the symphonies 4 and 6 that Atma Classique offer as 24Bit
download, are they the dabs of master files of juts up streamed CDs?"Well ...

There is a good article in Positive Feedback by David Robinson about Downloadable DSD.

I know very little about DSD and absolutely nothing about the downloadable DSD. However if they...

People asked me: Romy why don’t you try to transfer some analog to digital and see what happen. I was queries myself and I decided to try tonight.
Whatever I did was in a way half-ass but I was interested in “as is” result. Although the attem...

It is a recursive subject at my site that the sad state of music/audio industry is not due to some cosmic or social reasons but due to the very specific and very idiotic actions of very specific individuals who run the industry. Here is the case to p...

What I tell you that the people who run audio/music industry are idiots and you do not believe you then you are wrong. Here is another case to point.

I have some “issues” with the 176.4kHz idea, particularly knowing the most of the RR recordings were not recorded in 176.4kHz. I am glad that they did not go for X48K format but stuck with X44 (I more like the Linn’s 88.2KHz “Studio Masters” idea). S...

Romy I do consider you a audio friend and believe me, not offended or defensive just stating some observations, actually find your "bluntness" refreshing.Just some clarification on a few points: I really don't care what people say about my recordings...

Hi.The problem with albums with more than one composer could be solved placing them based on the first one what appears in the album name. Well, later could have the problem of not remembering which one appear first, but if you keep a catalog of your...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Here is my second attempt to make ad-hog analog transfers. The file is 280 Meg in 167kH and 24 bit. Do not download it if you can’t not play 167kH. The file is 0.5dB hotter then it shall be and has some clipping. I wonder i...

That what I call “kind play” and kind sound. Here is a fr...

Thanks to both of you for your responses; I didn't know of this software. Very intersting... I'm definitly going to download the demo trial and see how it compares. Probably won't get to it before the weekend; I whipped myself into an all-night OCD l...

Please, please, please, the British folks, make sure that you have download, record or whatever you do the last night Bruckner 8 performance. Leave the hornblende Bach plaing in the first part alone and preserve that Brucker. Lorin Maazel is gineus a...

I want to thank Romy for recommending this performance and Guy for his fine FM-to-CD recording and upload. I have to say, though, that I encountered some problems when I downloaded the 3rd movement files. In part 1 of the 3rd movement, all sound cu...

[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...

How can we compare anything if we know from the very first note what media is being used? The noise floor and sonic artifacts are unique to each media, so are we talking about confirmation bias? Let us assume that we have a first generation analog ma...

Indeed, it was. I never thought that visiting my local friends 2 weeks ago would open in me at Pandora box for acute audio obsession. For the last 2 weeks my brain operates in Romy the Cat version 20 years ago, when I was doing audio full-time. Some...

RomyI was able to copy your file into the Korg. I also copied in the Reference Recording HrX demo files. Using the Korg AudioGate PC interface, I played the tracks back through my PC sound card. With the Korg software, the recorded levels of the trac...

There is a Canadian company - Atma Classique that has some very good Bruckner recording available in 24bit. Yannick Nézet-Séguin is yong but very interesting conductor with in my view very good grab of Bruckner. I have his 8 symphony with Métropolita...

There are two fragments of recordings: 3 weeks ago and today. The Wagner file was made from original Sansui and the Bizet’s file with that new Sansui with updated better parts. I think it is possible to see what I meant to say. Please do not download...

It is best to think of these download sites as the 21st century version of the old news stand with its racks of magazines. If you caught a magazine plagiarizing something or making false claims would you rush down to the news stand vendor and have a ...
