Hi,[quote user="morricab"]As to the best transformers souding more transparent than the best resistors, I'll believe it when I (don't?) hear it. You claim to have heard this but I most certainly haven't. [/quote] Well, the claim is no...

Hello all,Some time ago, I bought a pair of very early production ML2s for an ongoing horn project (see "Note at end").Rather than just let the ML2s sit and wait for the horns to get done, I of course tried them out with my "normal" 89db/watt@1m spea...

After years of using the Expressive Technologies SU-1 and SU-2 step up transformers I come across to a fact this morning that the Expressive was reviewed by Robert Harley in June, 1992. I read the Expressive’s preamp review but I never seen this one....

Yestoday I visited the NY show and I did something that did not do for 3 years: I bought a few CDs at thier audiophile’s fleamarket. I did not really need them but lately I heard a lot of positive comments about the superior quality of new SACD-relea...

I constantly complain that the majority of audio people have corrupted listening culture. The last time I was bitching about it in the article “Remote control - the ultimate enemy.” However, the remote control is juts one of the tools of corruption. ...

A few year back a Russian audiologist A. Likhnitsky’s published a book “Sound Quality: New approach to testing of the home audio equipment”. (P&K, 1998) The book has many positive moments and altogether it was a wonderful attempt to bring i...

rouwk our discuss was about my audio judgment and my music background and my audio philosophy, you told musicians know the sound better than audiophiles and they listen to sound in musical level and you told audiophiles care about artifact sound. i...

It seems like the audio-centric part of the equation is not something that is taught so much as it is an interest that develops (or not...) for different reasons, and we at GSC hope that mining Serious Music drives the whole thing. However, come to...

Well, as usual, we can read all over what one likes or dislikes....each his own of course. But, we can not read why someone did like or did not like something.Same for me of course, but it would be helpful to offer a kind of "priority" (or whatever o...

Collin,I am pleased that you found my suggestions worthwhile.
I approached the issue of your music room with two questions in mind:1- How to avoid the structural angle from interfering with the sound2- Would an enlarged room be worthwhile...

Moreart, believe me or not, but I perfectly understand your constructions – they are nothing more than a simple reflection of your own way of thinking about audio and sound - just a pile of glued wooden panels without any audio based motivation behin...

With a great sadness I learned that last month Brian Cheney of VMPS passed away from cancer. VMPS, his company, closed the door with Brian death after 35 years of operation. My feeling about Brian death is similar to what Mussorgsky felt when Hartman...

Klausner, of cause what you write is perfectly valid in wider sense but since you posted it at audio forum I kind of trying to detect into what you saying an audio angle. In your first post you complained about the sub-adequate quality of sound the S...

I think the problem is like the chicken/egg dilemma - what needs to be there first? If we don't have the music appreciation first, how "good" can the playback be?. If we have achieved a technical solution, how can that lead to better appreciation of ...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] You have not heard Mangers, Aporia, or Loth-X speakers yet you thought sniffed yourself into an incredibly accurate picture of what they sound like. Great trick! [/quote]

Once I've assumed my speakers system into this house won't ever be able to deliver what I wish to accomplish, I have kind of downgraded my exigences and I'm more and more listening to headphones. For the last few months I've been trying different hea...

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...

After more than 20 years of playing audio game I think only two things are real game changers. DPOLS and Good AC qualityI do not claim I listened to Wilson Speaker in DPOLS but I am sure it was near DPOLS 14 years ago. I remember for the first time...

Allo,Well, it was just a deliberately trollsome way to get you to talk about how you evaluate sound/components - obviously you've touched upon aspects of it, but it seems like you have a unified (and "evolved", to use the site's motto...
