Oh that forgotten pleasure… I am not spoiled with audio experiments nowadays. Partially because I do not have a lot of drive and have reached a definitive return in my possible audio experiments. Another partial preseason is that I kind of able to pr...

Got today a December 2010 PS Audio Newsletter with an announcement from Paul McGowan:

Dolph,As anything else in audio I do not see the problem that we as experience in worsening of FM as technological problem but rather the failure of human factor. I have no problems with the fact that FM is digitalized and that most of the “live” FM ...

I got a .pdf file with April Stereophile where Art Dudley writes up about new Lamm 2.2 amp. I am long off the Lamm camp but I do observe what is going on with Lamm equipment as I feel I do have a good grip about it.
I have no idea why Art Dud...

I have heard hundreds and hundreds of audio systems and mine is by far the best. Honestly nothing even comes close. There is a scientific reason for this. MY system starts with a PERFECTLY tuned room...something overlooked by ma...

I always hesitant to make recommendations regarding purchasing decision in audio. The last time I made a recommendation to a local audio guy was to get Altec 19 loudspeaker instead of the crap that he had. The problem that you can make recommendatio...

[quote user="drdna"]I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may ...

completely disagree. Let's be honest here, the majority of audiophiles
are atypical people (wierd, anal, eccentric, driven, insecure, etc.)
and plenty of them require handholding, comforting, and assurance.
Unfortunately, as ...

[quote user="Beav"] What I have is a subwoofer made by ACI; no information on the amplifier used other than it uses a two prong power cord, no ground. When I hooked it up to the APS 2000 I got a very loud pitched hum. Taking if off the 2000 an...

[quote user="k100"] If I were to try to find a pair of ML2's that are older production, what years of production does this include? [/quote]
All ML2.1 are the new version of ML2 and they are not good as ML2. However, I have seen the original ML2 mar...

Chirag, First off all you have to define what do you want from them. If at this moment you’re looking for something within $700 then very next year, when you finish you medical school you will be searching in very different price range… :-) Now a lit...

Well, I was there, which is more than The Cat can say. In fact, The Cat never heard a complete WE system first hand, so I'll have to take that into advisement when the expected foaming-at-the-whiskers rant.I always wonder why people would giv...

How do we hear?
A recent article examined the capacity of the optic nerve to process visual signals. Based on the number of neurons in the retina, etc., an estimate of less than a megabyte of information was found, which is surprisingly low. This...

For instance the 2A3 has no tungsten cathodes and therefore its cathode might be “poisoned” in time if it was not properly pre-burned and some other methods were not taken care. Those methods are expensive but they ...

Well, have a good time, Stitch. Generally as far as I know Lamm equipment not modified a lot. When I own Lamms I make some minor changes that were not modifications but rather accommodations to the needs of my particular playback.
I would say that ...

When we had our son, I sold off all tube stuff because I did not want
any high-voltage equipment where he could prod with a knitting needle
