[quote user="drdna"]Looking again at the EdgarHorns, the placement in the room seems nearly optimal and they are now properly time aligned. Looking at the phase of the individual drivers and listening to each of them individually revealed that ...

No mater how ridicules the title of this article sounds on my site but I was quite glad to see the in the May’s issues of Stereophile the Robert J. Reina review of Advent loudspeakers. I do not think that Advent’s review is a sign of some kind of sin...

Romy's Quotes in blue :
"...recorded music is just the industry commodities... Therefore I absolutely do not share your enthusiasm about the “opportunity for a big record label”.I'm not really expecting it to happen (I have some experience wit...

[quote user="msaudio"] Romy I have not herd so much doulble talk in a long time. Some of the best sounding drivers on the market in the last 60 years, were for sound reinforcement. [/quote]
It is not my view. I wrote about it many times before...

I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

I was trying to strategize what would I do it tomorrow someone get in touch with me and offer my $50K. In another words what would I do to convert the Altec 19 to Cetla Ledom?This is an interesting discussion itself as it gives a blueprint for me...

Well, Jessie, I think you're exercising a wishful thinking but you have, I think, a wrong subject for your thinking. Neither Lamm nor any other high-end manufacture care about result as a concept but rather a result as product. A product b...

The people who suffer from the vintagtism in audio are special breed of Audio Morons™. Those people discovered a single focus of interests in some kind of vintage item and this focus became a point an unconditional dedication and fanatical devotion. ...

Positive Feedback published David Robinson’s review of Lamm M1.2 amplifier.

Frankly speaking I do have interest to see what people might say about Lamm M1.2. Not that I care about a review’s ob...

This weekend I made an interesting experiment. I had a visitor yesterday. The gay is not what I call overly critical and overly demanding listener but he is not a typical Audio Moron and has from my point of view a proper and sane react...

[quote user="oxric"] However, in an earlier post, where you suggested that I was knocking 'at the wrong door', you wrote:… Having said this, we should not be overly concerned or surprised about a few inconsistencies coming from you so I do not re...

[quote user="N-set"]BTW, how stable 6E5P is? I'm asking as I was contemplating biasing the output by the voltage drop on 6E5P's plate choke (DCR is say around 1k),with only some minimal autobias on the output. The drawback is that any drift in th...

The whole notion of the de Charlus’ quest I find to be very interesting. Charlus feels that only use horn topology and compression drivers is able to deliver “superior” audio result, at least it was his experience. I do not feel that horn topolog...

People who frequent at my site know my constant intend to assess performance of audio before even thinking to make any changes:

[quote user="drdna"] I can tell you already it will work. I have experimented extensively with adding lengths of metal to cables. It works well, but you can do a lot more by fine-tuning the amount of metal and in fact adjusting it slightly from l...

Saying all that I said let do not fool outsells. The concept
to have in plater and base hollow spaces to be file with dynamic dumper is very
good idea if it is done properly. What is properly? This is very deep subject,
and the reference might be ...

I sometime try to address broad and purely abstractive audio issues, still without a big hope then it would be properly understood or properly interpreted by most of the readers, not to mention anyone else. An average audio person do not need a broad...

Make an experiment. Take any of those contemporary “highly reputed playback systems” and roll of their HF and LF unit you reach gramophone bandwidth. You might narrow the bandwidth with electric (LC) filers or with mechanical filers it would not be r...

Ok, how to start. First of all we have to understand that out subject of attention will be a region between approximately 80Hz and 500Hz or something that shape the fundamentals of the “melody range” within your playback. Search my site I have writte...

I met a few days back a person who does high-end audio and in fact he does. He has multiple turntables, he has discrimination taste in audio components/elements, has his ideas how a playback might or should be built. For all intended purpose he i...

[quote user="Paul S"] Speakers: I built a version of Dick Olsher's 3-way Diamond Edition BassZilla (hard to find at www.blackdahlia.com), and I tricked it out considerably from his mule. Bass is BR, 15" Audax P380MR, which is a nice semi-...

I do not care about the Bruno Walter’s or the Mahler’s himself comments. I care about myself and in the way how I want it to play not one plays, and I am disappointed.
I am not a huge fun of Mahler First Symphony; in fact I am not a huge fun ...

OK, I agree – it might be not necessary as PP2000 does produce fine electricity in a convenient package. Furthermore it violates the rule that I try to follow in audio generally: define snick objective and ONLY then render audio methods.

People, keep asking me about the sound of Melquíades and I feel strange as I really can’t not explain how it sounds. It does not make any sense as I initiated this thread with the objective to explain or at least to inform about the Melquíades’ sound...
