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...

"I suggest that you lose your DRC virginity at the first opportunity;
life really is much better when suffused with such sublimity."That line might be taken as patronising except, you are correct, sir! (Only, what if virginity is itself sublime?)I ...

I have seen this effect before not frequently in my playback however. It happens that I did not listen my main playback attentively for 2 months. Frankly I did not even turn it on for a month or so. With many other things that are going now in my lif...

Romy,you are very right about the piano being what it is. Piano players ALWAYS comment the action and response of the keyboard initially. The feedback from the instrument to the player is always tactile first. I am convinced that a concert pianist on...

Interesting, the last night I made a first attempt to teach Amy something about audio. We live together for 6 month and I never made any attempt to bring her aboard to audio world. She love my playback idea but and I love to cruise around her brain o...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] In my new room, I can't find the patience to listen to Bruckner. I can now listen to concertos and pieces with content in the tone and space, but if the music takes too long to get into it, I become impatient, then feel l...

[This is a repost from Audio Asylum -- Music Lane]
Not to mince words, I have five. And this from a guy who usually disdains such collections. But there are exceptions.
-- Schnabel. (Of course) But he can be overly fierce.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I very much insist on the fact that I do not retrieve my position on this mater. The relationship between a ‘content loaded music’ and capacity of a 'serious playback' is the only mater that counts and this is the threshold...

I've received and read most of February issue of Stereophile. They review the last M1.2 Reference amplifier and the comments from the reviewer are more about how the music can flow and show as a unique event, with the kind of interaction with th...

Yes, the enclosure something like this, thanks for tip, miab, but it opens a door for desire more. A good box with fanless operation, 1920 x 1200 pixels touch-screen, 6 hard-drives, remoter control, $650 price tag is very good beginning. W...

Paul Hi, I don't consider myself a dealer, just an enthusiast, I just wanted to discover just what was possible with audio replay, Thomas Woschnicks system (whee i first heard the Alpha's ) was just more real more like real life than anything I had b...

Hi Romy. You hit some point. But thats half obsolete. I shouldntve tried to gather the stuff for the VO copy. That visit to Klaus opened my eyes. I already switched my priorities a view times. From tonality, then resolution, to latest color (VO) but ...

Your Typical Acoustical Suspension-type Loudspeaker enclosure witch has less then 90 db at 1 watt does not belong with a horn system that starts at 110db at 1 watt, even when you ad more then 1 driver, it is still way to far off to even consider usin...

Romy , I don´t think this is a typical ups unit , but a little more advanced than a typical ups . I think typical UPS does not have double-conversion , at least here in Chile . Note that Pure Power claims "via double conversion technology ..." in som...

[quote user="Paul S"]HE, from what you've said so far, much of what puzzles and interests you now has been thoroughly discussed here for years, and IMO you owe it to yourself to read extensively at this site. As you begin to "get the idea" you will ...

I became interested in audio at a very young age because I liked music, but was too uncoordinated to be able to p...

I am not a DIYer and have no skills nor knowledge to build the Melquiades, so I contacted a technician here to have one built. He said he could make it and stated the cost at around 3000USD including his working time. He suggested some changes in the...

I think this time is coming. As the idiots who run today high-end audio thankfully (!) are dying out the entire concept that a bunch of self-pompous ignorant fools own audio destitution chain will be vanished and will be replaced by more liberal and ...

The audiophools have a term PRaT: Pace, Rhythm and Timing that apply here - even if many do not understand that this is NOT something that makes you tap your toes to the banjo... Performing jazz musicians have a term "groove" that covers similar terr...

It is OK, Item. It is a common for people who sell audio to be not completely informed what they are selling. That comes with territory. You might discover with time that audio is much more interning then just to dump a pile of BS on people and to ma...

The guys like J.G. Holt brought to the wide public the things, from which “all the crap begun”. Holt was the first who came up in mass-publication with a concept of looking at the music through the dirty window where his new term “transparency” is cl...
