I remember the old Decca cartridges as quite maddening, a real love/hate connundrum. Unrivaled, totally addictive "immediacy", and dynamics that made anything else sound muffled and plain wrong, but also about as user-unfriendly and unrel...

Two weeks ago when I realized that something was wrong with my Shelter I asked a guy that I know “How people buy cartridges nowadays?” He said “They talk a lot with other people”. “I will not do it”, was my reply. Well, not two weeks after I ha...

I did mean the recent recordings but rather the personal “recording of the week”, the personal recent discoveries. BTW, I never heard the Pergolesi Stabat Mater before. I will look the Alessandrini’s one….
Here is one wonderful recent discover...

Well, what I told you that I am a Moron and you did not believe me then you were fools. Here is a case to point. This week I deeded to connect my Holrick mechanical motor-generator in use. I did not mean to listen the sound of it. My objectives were ...

Just now, anyone who might build "proper" amps has also a built-in pre-meditated agenda. In other words, he is not only building amps but he is also - and primarily - trying to glorify himself - and his "main idea" - in the process.The truth is,...

[quote user="Paul S"]Don't worry about selling stuff you "don't like". To another Moron® it might be the Legendary Stuff of Dreams. Be honest about what it is; simply hold your current opinion.[/quote]I've just sold my Druids (took a £500 hit on wh...

Yes, the tamed beast is an oxi-moron. I thought of my 808s as ragged, rough (grainy) and spitty, while the S2 was also ragged/uneven, but the roughness was more like the sound of a metal zipper. Anyway, I never heard either of these stock drivers m...

Hmmm... Thorny, difficult topic...The "integration" of HF certainly involves its "disappearance" - as "HF", as such - "into the soundfield". At the very least, Tone ultimately depends on this. But there also appear to be other benefits from "ge...

Jorge,With the risk of being called a moron, I actually didn´t do any calculations more than using hornresp to get a decent spl-curve.The driver properties a got from a guy in Denmark who renovates old altec drivers. The numbers probably weren´t accu...

Last couple days I was playing with my new tape looped Placette, riming Pacific from Tape Rec output. How little a Moron need to be happy!!! Even I still have some technical issuers that I need to resolve using Pacific in and out of the tape loop but...

Mani, I am not talking about the Zu when I say that there is little chance of just buying and plugging in any given ready-made component into any given system and getting Music, ever. If anyone asks me, I always say, think of speakers-amps-room as on...

There are a few manufacturers out there, Minus-K, Halcyonics, Vibraplane...The Vibraplane is a good unit for the money, I have no problems with it and it does the job the way it should.Those Vibration units work different from construction and are ve...

I, in my stupid imagination, thought that I will be able to close my R&E saga as I thought I found a truly wonderful new home for myself. The palace turned out to be grossly, I would say fraudulently, misspresented. Got home very disappointed an...

Paul,I'm with you waiting for a bit more enlightenment and less rhetoric on the subject. As you stated if e.g. a Bass reflex does certain things wrong there are some known 'recipes' / fixes to try, and some will work. We would want to utilize a u...

Hi jd*thank you for caring, and encouraging me to wade through all of this horn info. I'm 63 by now, not sure if I'll ever get out of there alive before I'm done though...Romy posted some picture about a commercial horn (Western Electric WE15) th...

Some kind of nut with name “Richard BassNut Greene” posted at the AA sewers a post:
“What employment tests are given to audio component reviewers?
Are hearing tests required?Are listening skills tests, done under blind cond...

Let it be known that I am nearly clueless when it comes to electronics. Building speakers, racks, pianos, or just about anything mechanical is no problem for me to build myself and, unlike Romy, it is usually pleasant for me for various reasons....

This is the last article in the planed overview. Here I would like to cover options available among commercially available High-Efficiency systems. As you might expect it will not be too exiting.
In a ways commercial systems inherent all problems of...

Tuga,I do not know what JMLC had written in that paper – I can’t read French but from looking at the pictures I might only presume that he was trying to prove or disprove the Point Source idea by looking at the souses live sound vs. recorded-and-then...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...

In the linked thread (at the top of the page) I was pointed out that GM Lab introduced their new Focal Utopia EM loudspeaker. Yesterday the Seattle’s Moron “mikel” posted a picture at AA with the new Utopia EM presented at RMAF 2008.
I saw the pic...

I was pitching before that to make a loudspeaker with integrated LF module you have no ethical right to charge more then let say $20K retail. If you charge more then you have no mechanism to deliver anything for the money people pay. However, if you...

Clark, I just for fan Goggled "My name's Cody; just a
disclaimer" and I got a dozen audio forums where this Moron expressed "his
opinion". Who cares whose employee he is? He is an idiot who not even able to fake a sensible comment. ...

There is an interesting and predictable pattern: the pattern of the idiot-reviewer above universal stupidity. Those people are so uninformed about themselves and about world that they do not even feel where they expose own incompetence and short mild...

Well, there is no question that power companies pay zero attention to the complaints of audiophiles, neither shall they. The power companies are in pusses to sell power and unhappiness of a done or so fringe consumer is understandably not their conce...

Romy, Sure, the tone could be a bit more special ie: delicate and colorful (sorry for lack of the right word). Thats why I have come back to these pages to read and hopefully understand a bit more and find the right incentive to tinker further. I hav...

Stitch, I am not too familiar with the sound of contemporary TT and I am not necessary would discard them juts because they are contemporary. I still have that fantasy about some kind of flimsy, paper-made TT that for whatever reason do sound very go...

Stitch, you see, the presence of that unintelligent audio glitter that run across web sites and drool saliva about that or this product is very unfortunate thing that actually makes very hard for sensible audio people to get any more or less releva...
