Do you think that recording 5 channels on BlueRay nowadays they record with 5 microphones on 5 independent channels?I admit that some of the so-called multichannel blurays have been made using possibly two channel masters and adding reverb for ha...

I don't think it is possible to deconstruct as you desire. Perhaps you need to talk to Per Winfeld at Ortofon (I can give you the email address).
The SPU Mono has 4 coils rotated 45 deg and connected for vertical modulation cancellation. The CG 25...

I do not know any Mravinsky’s mono sets. I have individual mono records of him doing 4, 5 and 6 symphonies. He did the Pathétique in 1949 and 1956, both were certainly mono. The performance from 1956 I consider the ultimate Pathétique. The “qui...

We have already talked about how recording techniques do or do not make the most of a given format, and/or available recordings do or do not especially lend themselves to a given playback system. Then, there is the matter of setting everything up in...

Guys, I think you use a slightly faulty logic in here. No one would deny the differences in presentation between live events and playback. I would not argue with what ‘zako’ or ‘gormee’ said. I would however disagree about the way in which they use ...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]Romy,Try running the left and right signals from the stereo arms, one at a time, into the known-good mono phonocorrector. If the problem is not present then you know the stereo corrector is to blame.Are both left and right ch...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, I took the anti-RIAA signal converted and run CD player into the phonostage. The RIAA curve was fine and the effect of the HF volume and frequency-depended quantization did not expose itself. So, it looks like the p...

[quote user="dazzdax"]Sakuma San is some sort of cult figure among the tube-o-philes. I wonder why he is implementing so many transformers in his amplifiers. Using transformers can be a good thing but in my experience too many transformers give a som...

I feel that the correct objective of home music listening should be to reproduce as closely as possible what one can enjoy in a great concert hall with great musicians.Thus, I have been a advocate for surround processing for years. As stereo replaced...

I have visited Sakuma's restaurant myself.
You don't need to travel to Japan to know that stock Altec A5s and Lowther-based designs from the 1960s basically run in the 70hz-12000hz range. They are in mono, and not particularly well-placed. That is...

I got what you mean. It is one of those things I really would like to try as well. When I started my project, I was going to have an array of scanspeak drivers but I had problems with the distributor here. It was then I got the Tad's and went 16" ins...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]I listened to this talk up to the beginning of the question-and-answer session. I am surprised that this method would really capture the essence of Romy's almighty DPOLS condition. It seems to me that Robbins is very much cent...

I would like to point out those multi-microphone techniques and mono/stereo sentiments are not directly related....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am not sure if you stress the words “sound” or the word “stereo”. I do not have anything to do with mono but properly implemented stereo is absolutely wonderful and I love Take a little portable mono microphone, attach it...

I have lately been comparing the stereo and mono versions of many recordings from the 50's, and I have found that even when using the same stereo needle and closely matched for stamper number, the mono version is consistently better than the stereo v...

hi romy,i have never heard the rel. but, if you want to hear a tubed tuna at its best, pick up a sherwood s3000ll or later, get it serviced, and run it thru one of your mpx decoders. or get one w/a built-in sherwood mpx. this is tube sound as good...

[quote user="Thorsten"] Well, a range of mono EQ curves (and only Mono) had turnovers other than 500Hz (AES with 400Hz comes to mind, often used by Rudy van Gelder and then there was Decca with a different turnover each year in the 1950's!). AMR's P...

Try as I might, I can't get my sme3012/shelter 901 combo to do tubas . My ortofon309/vintage mono cartridge does it magnificently the tuba down low makes me goosevumps all over just likenthe cello. I think my stepup for shelter is incorrect choice, t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The re-charged cap works fine but changing the cap polarity by re-recharging is while it handles the signal is not a very good idea in my view. All that dialectic in the cap needs to be re-polarized – it sound too unattract...

[quote user="tokyo john"]Anyway, I actually wanted to ask you something else. I need another TT to accomodate my mono cart (some people are not as lucky as Romy to have 8 arms hooked up to one TT!)...[/quote]John,

Ok, I will try to lower the primary impedance like you suggested, but it will be on the new 6C33C mono block amplifier that I am building. The custom made chassis will be finished by next week and I have the better components waiting to get installle...

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 is unthinkable how mach of great music the Columbia sound engineers had vandalized. The Boulez’s “Verklarte Nacht” with NY Philharmonic turned out to be a good pay but what the sick sound! I bought 3 records and one of them a new, sealed. All of t...

Thanks, Haralanov. I did not read it deeply, would need a week or so to do it. Something that I have read in this article I do not agree with. I have seen a few similar works. One of them was mathematically proved that Mono “is better” or at least a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I think I need to put a switch that would disconnect the right and left primary in case the Mono SPU is used. I ‘m still thinking about a more elegant solution…. [/quote]
Well, it is resoled and it is resoled remarkably s...

Brian- Thanks for the tip (pardon the pun). I really appreciate it! I'll have to exercise some patience before listening in mono.......

Today, at Mravinsky's birthday I publish a good article by Rob Barnett: the Classical Editor of the UK-based http://www.musicweb.uk.net. Rob gives a brief observation of the 20 CDs Melodia's box-set with Mravinsky's recordings.
