Adrian,
what do you see fundamentally appealing in the symmetry of the differential circuits and what the relations between Sound the symmetry? Not to mention that the perfectly symmetric circuits do not exists. I’m very far form the people who coul...

I'm moving my two finished LF boxes (connected as 1 channel) around the room, trying to set them up to play more frequency-flat than I've been able to make them with only one box per channel.Putting one in the ceiling and the other on the floor, both...

SamFrom your listings perhaps you do not mind if certain qualities of the speakers themselves come to the fore, as long as you get other things you want?I think the Verity Parsifals do need the Encore (is that it?) bass units, and you'd certainl...

Never used the old Hafler (quad) much, mostly because I had so many mono LPs at the time, and that system (if I remember correctly) worked best with hard-panned stereo. Basically, I agree with you, and whatever I wind up with will be fairly easy to u...

It kind of sounds good, but is all based on this false idea that you can cancel out Total Harmonic Distortion in your loudspeakers with "negative polarity" THD in the amplifier. It treats THD like it was a discrete variable rather than the sort of ...

Actually I do not see any fundamental differences between production and homemade speakers and I do not know why you put the home made speakers as something by default more superior to the productions models. You see, it is not about the speakers as ...

…how do not spread Ketchup to all food you eat.
The regular readers of my site know that I very seldom pay compliment to the audio reviewers. I do it because they are mostly unspeakably Morons and their writing/thinking is mostly primitive and brain...

I need to admit that I absolutely adore my listing room. I like absolutely everything about it and if I enumerate what hat I like about it then the list will be long. Ironically, from a perspective of self-education I sometime try to nail down wh...

Today I listened again to a couple of Bruckner 8 performances on CDs, namely von Karajan/VPO, 1988, also Schuricht/Stuttgart, 1954. The Music is amazing on both CDs, but the 1988 performance (which may well have been digitally recorded to begin ...

I heard today the Magico Model 6 loudspeakers about which the audio industry pimps of all calibers created so much stink lately. I did not have a chance to listen Magico extensively: a little guy who felt the he owed the room begun to jump in my ...

[quote user="Stringreen"] The New Jersey Symphony purchased a number of high priced instruments - Strads, Guanaris, etc. in what they called "The Golden Collection". They paid way too much money for the collection, but thought that the better s...

John Hasquin showed up a couple days ago and suggested that many of modern compression driver manufacturers design thier products to get the "best" publishable parameters while completely disregarding any basic horn design rules and actual sound resu...

It took for us, for the people with brains and ears, a few years to explain to the foolish audiophiles the artificiality of their soundstage objectives. Six years ago when I was tiring explaining to the audio-zombies that soundstage is juts a surroga...

Ok, the very first thing in your way to the proper Imbedded Macro-Positioning is to undusted what you what to accomplish. Most of you redder can not understand it before 2 reasons:

Well, what is interesting in the subject: if the Cessaro guy will ever go for the DSET configuration in his commercial products? I am not certain but it is possible that in DSET configuration it might be possible to overcome the accused shortcomings ...

I can see where you are coming from. However many people (including users of this site) need to use a combination of 'industry built' and sometimes 'home built' items (where there isn't something readily available that will do the job they want it to...

I think the Morons do not take me seriously and no one has enquired about my proposed Cetla Ledom 91 loudspeakers and offered me my $50K. That is pity as somebody out there is losing a very rare chance to get an acoustic system that will be hand-tune...

What is the difference in audio? You spend day of you live in your listening rooms trying to make that cable elevator between your phonostage and cartridge to “sound better” and someone after listening your setup inform y...

Robin, my live venue preferences are similar to yours. I was thinking about how we deal with the sound matrix in our listening rooms, based on the variables we are presented with. I remember when I gave no thought to soundstage and little thought abo...

scooter, that was a whole point – to see if the fundamental dilemma of the those designs was addressed. Frankly I was prepared to see some kind of interpretation of unity horn, not just blunt lock of any efforts in this direction. As is, the Vittora...

Paul, Thanks!Yes, I had got the Romy point. I am just too obstinate to get that thing done but indeed I am still considerate a standard system as start point too. My problem with that, buy a standard one before, were I always try to avoid to have to ...

[quote user="drdna"] Oh, I see you are absolutely correct. I am very puzzled. As it says on the website, the mastering studios relocated to a new location. Maybe there was no room for the old set-up. I was only in the old studio a few years ago. I sw...
