Sine I informed public about Melquiades amplifiers I receive many emails from people asking me about the operation points of 6C33C. For whatever reasons people mistakably took me for some kind of 6C33C guru, which is am not. Moreover I could be hardl...

Ah, such a beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful discovery!
After all, after the years of dealing and fighting with it I come up with the observation that the Vitavox S2 driver could and actually should be used “as is”. The harshness that I was re...

I got home today, power up the payback and played some bootlegs of Australian festivals that Kostas Metaxas sent me another day. I paid attention that the sound was strange it was too hard atop. That was something new. I put in my player the CDs...

Loudspeakers. For whomever who follows my dairies on this site and whoever has any real understanding what makes a horn-loaded loudspeaker to sound good it is know that Macondo Acoustic System is not juts the result of my DIY efforts or the John Hasq...

I put kids to bed and was listening at night at low level. The idea which was spinning in my head was the following. Okay I have good result but why and what does it mean? Was it a precise mid bass dialing to the rest of my system, to my ul...

Marc Mickelson published his new infomercial
about Lamm LP1 phonostage. I do not use Lamm products
but as former Lamm product user I naturally keep looking what Lamm does. http://www.theaudiobeat.com/equipment/lamm_lp1_signature.htm

Hello,
After buying replacement sockets for the 6C33Cs and keeping them stored
for months, I finally fitted them. I had been having the signs of tubes
dying for several weeks: thumps in the bass drivers when warming up,
after about 15/30 minut...

[quote user="RF at Ona"] Romy,I might have overlooked something on your site but I understand that your ULF amp is driven directly by the preamp line stage. If that is the case, you may want to consider an old technique for integrating subwoofers...

Well Romy, IMO they are not just tonally different they are more
tonally correct, ie. they simply have less coloration than other
technologies. Just listen to a recording sometime made with a
ribbon microphone and you will understand what I ...

[quote user="George"] I am not quite understanding part of what you say:
"It is very difficult to make a generalization about it but generally this quite “large bloomy space” will be a space equal to, I would say, 1/8-1/12 of the room ...

If you thoughtfully read my site then here and there (particularly in the articles about Lamm ML2) you read my “absurd” comments that the best performing system is the system that do best Sound while the power amplifiers not even plugged in the p...

nl,
[quote user="nl"] I offered to be of assistance, as I have a little experience in these matters, but assistance is not appreciated so I will be leaving the Kingdom of Romy for more productive environments. [/quote]

I listened to exactly that combination for a longer time (Wilson Alexandria + ML3...) and the "review" (let's replace it with product placement) is the same joke than Harley with ML2.2 linked with the Magico Speakers (simply THE mismatch)....

I probably never get tired to mention the stupidity of the folks
who write for Audio publications. This time my hero is Marshall Nack of positive-feedback.
The hero just published a review about the Lamm updated preamp L2:

It was very interesting experience today. My son have a birthday party and they decided to do it in our house. I was obliged to play Harry Potter in a big screen for 15 kids, so it's naturally make me too move all the speaker along the wall...

But I
am curious (wary) about what you mean by the “one-sided” results of using a DHT
for the upper midrange (if I misread you correctly). [/quote]
What I meant is that practically no one uses "a good DHT...

This was the most astonishing and bewildering moment of my
entire audio life. It was in 2000. That time I lived in cozy downtown Boston
apartment that I absolutely loved. The apartment sounded fabulously with pretty
