[quote user="drdna"] I am kind of disappointed, since you typically advocate a very careful and systematic way of proceeding. What do you mean by extremely different positive?[/quote]Well, I it what it is. I am not DIY-Moron and I do not do und...

so, since I so, since I could not as yet, get myself fired from this thread, and what was actually meant by my comment (…fired!), let’s see if we can get back into the subject. I obviously also listen to music, and I also deal with the mechanics/...

Because no young person I know is interested in hi-end audio, so the industry may well be dead when baby boomers lose their hearing!?:-)In the meantime, if one is not gullible (moronic, Romy would say), it
is quite interesting how audio products d...

A few weeks back I bought a CD of Hans Vonk lead Saint Louis Symphony with Bruckner 4. It was not the best Bruckner 4 that I heard – the Saint Louis is not the orchestra that does the best Bruckner but it was a very nice performance, surprisingly...

I really enjoy this site. Romy has a fresh view that is actually easy to understand, if one simply reads instead of interpreting what he writes.Still, a view from "higher up" is something that many of us are not privileged to. Looking at the major co...

I know, that for many would be quite unhappy to hear about it but it is very very very very very very frequently in audio that a name, a brand and a model of audio gear are not inclusive and all-encompassing indication of the given peace of equipment...

Yes, Markus, thanks. It is a bit too obvious that Speedysteve7 is not a typical DIYAudio moron. As the evidence: pay attention the Speedysteve7 posted information about his playback and has no following. In contrary of him installation would be 2...

Hm, I was playing with options to get rid the 3dB divider in the MF channel input and I realized that I was a moron somewhere. I was operating under presumption that I was getting 2V on the driver cathode in MF channel that made the swing voltage...

Last night I was returning from local production of Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta. It was mean rain here in Boston and fragile Bostonians were hiding in their homes, it was 10PM and the roads were free. I was in mood for some kind of offensive drive – a ...

I do not know where in what people say about Tripoint BS stops and the realty starts. I do not refuse that by reducing or injecting harmonics into the AC fundamentals it is possible to moderate sound. Does Tripoint it and if it does it then does...

I is a long and perpetual vision of mine that 99.99999% of indivisibles why do audio are Morons, at least in the subjects of audio. I have no problem to express this vision and I constantly find more and more evidences to back up this vision of my. P...

Each year (with a very few exceptions) approximately in the beginning of December, as it's today, I justify for yourself that CES show in Vegas will be a waste of my time and decide do not go. Later on, in the begining of the January, after the holyd...

[quote user="cv"] It looks to me from that he might be using an S2 from around 500Hz or 600Hz up [/quote]
Well, I thought about this configuration and it would be hardly possible in the light of what Kevin does. Let pretend that MF is low-pass...

I do not take seriously what this Moron said about himself. At
the time I met him he fancied himself as a great audio interpreter who in response
to his fist listening (!!!) to Tchaikovsky Pathetique informed me that “it is
too many violins”, I am...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This is very complex and superbly important concept and with this I have pissed a lot of people in audio. So, while you participate in evaluation of an audio element DO NOT recognized the sonic benefits of this element in i...

[quote user="Paul S"] Which caps exactly did you decide to try? I don't recognize the big black jobbies. Are they oilers? Are they 200V? [/quote]
I did not “decide” but went with what I had in my hands. They are the Ansars from the...

I am not a big fun of Dvorak 9th under Ancerl. I’m not big fun nether the orchestra’s balance nor the recording quality. Anyhow…
I do not think that that you need to worry PH-77’s accuracy of curves or the comfort to switch them. It looks lik...

I have a lot of places within my site where I, in one or other way, spread propaganda about horn-loaded loudspeakers. Frankly speaking, if I were an “ordinary audiophile” then I would look at the Romy the Cat’s exuberance about horns and perceive it ...
