Hey, but what about all those Brit amps from 80' s- 90's ? I had an "Exposure XXV" 60W integrated .Very modest looking amp without tons of circuitry like those Japanesse behemots. I was into and detail at that time so I sold it, but I think I would ...

[quote user="Doron"] I am beginning to somewhat agree with this statement as I am always amazed how selective an audio system gets as it becomes a high-resolution one. Rock and pop never sounds good anymore (because the system just tells it like it i...

with using a rubbish system and the like some dilly music-maker pretend it's in my head and fine.I want to feel the venue where things are happening in, it means scale, depth, RIGHT tone, timing, AND as much as possible harmonic completeness. The...

It is interesting… I have a very precisely calibrated ¼db resolution AV meter and I decided juts for fan to see what the channels of Super Milq will do in the real life. I kept my Mocondo, along with the woofer towers connected to the Super Milq’s 3 ...

I think any blanket statement that all the fault lies with PP or end users is going to be proved wrong. My Bayesian estimate based on prior experience outside of audio is that 80% is some fault of manufacture and 20% improper use or faulty troubles...

I just visited the Highend in Munich and had the chance to listen to two of those monster SETs. Cessaro showed up with monstrous 833 amps and my thought was that there is something wrong with the music. I know it is common in this forum to describe w...

However...............in the old days when FM broadcasting was still analogue some of the programmes were worth listening to here in Denmark for the music and for the technical quality.Today everything broadcasted is digitalized and when it's about l...

Macondo, because it is prodigiously time aligned has very nerow and well defined listening sweet spot. The only same identical listening spot I heard only from one another loud speaker, it was Wilson Alexandria which was very accurately time alig...

I'm happy that I found out about LX_'s problem in France with his PurePower 2000 230 volt model. I'm sorry we had to hear about it on Romy's forum so long after the fact because his problems would have been solved long ago. Unfortunately his dealer w...

Ive tried various configurations but was unable to produce a recording that is similar to the fm transmission, although its not too terrible. I monitor the sound by using the same output of the Sansui that goes into the DAW. Replaying the file, I n...

[quote user="manisandher"]Another nice surprise is that some 16/44.1 files I've recorded from a one-sided 45rpm LPs sound so much better than the CD rips of the same albums. The digitized vinyl files have 'life' - the CD rips sounds 'cold' and 'dead'...

Folks, This thread caught my attention, because here Romy waxes lyrically about the failings of the Denon Cartridges. Now I only consider ONE Denon worth bothering, the ORIGINAL 103, it is often inaccuratly called 103C. It has a medium compliance (ar...

Yes, Roman: the two stages design is having the gain you correctly pointed-out.Sure would have paid - and it was discussed, as well, during pre-building weeks - to go for an higher gain design, BUT I feel more confortable in going ahead to play with ...

user="martinshorn"] I already switched my priorities a view times.
From tonality, then resolution, to latest color (VO) but now i see its the

Well, I very much assure

Our milage varies and in my case it's still quite short.In any case, I would place glare on top of my list of appalling qualities of modern high-end loudspeakers.This glare (unlike clarity) results from an exaggerated high frequency response that pro...

I think hearing loss has to do a little bit with excessive HF in todays loudspeakers, with age this is the freq. that is mainly lost, so boosting it a little bit helps that... Most commercial systems exagerate HF mainly to make you think they have...

[quote user="DOT*SYSTEM"] OK Romy, I get it. You may believe that the act of the DVD-A creation software will alter the music bits as seen by the transport/DAC. I believe the software is only encapsulating the data into the DVD-A binary image. [/...
|
|
[quote user="manisandher"] Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. The first two seem to add something in the HF that I can imagine many people judging as being 'extra resolutio...

Yes, I educated myself last night with all those Mac file formats (I have Mac phobia). The AIFF as well as WAV are uncompressed formats and from what I see the AIFF play very nice. I have no idea which one is preferable for high-resolution recordings...

Hello all!I have always loved purist stereo recordings that give me the impression of sitting in a real concert hall, and rather accept musical details being smeared than spacial information being lost due to the resolution limits of the pl...

All digital domain volume controls (or crossovers, which is the same) by definition reduce amount of bits. Some “creative” companies fight within by introducing the additional processing after the bits were lost in order to hide the fact that they op...

Romy Hi, I completely understand your feelings towards the Hi-Fi trade and reviewers , I now ( since I started to represent cessaro ) grasp how the system works and it is often not a particulary noble or honest world , all I want is a dec...

Romy Hi, I only represent Cessaro in the UK now because I honestly believe in them, I don't represent any other makes or manufacturers, Ralph introduced me to Allnic ( he had tracked down the designer Mr Park )we compared the a...

I understand the rational to get TL0, even though I would not do it as now if I start fresh. The perspective that I am trying to bring is kind of DAC related, If you get TLO and would go for “ultimate” DAC for that transport then you might discover ...
|
|
Romy,I don't understand all hype around the Tidal service, like a saint graal or something, since it's not new at all (high resolution audio streaming). There are Qobuz (also a store) doing that for a few years. Most of the titles from them seems to ...

I made an experiment a few weeks ago. I took 5 cartridges that I know very well and that have thier distinctive “signature” sound signatures. I loaded my corrector into my 49K 1/12Octave, 0.25dB resolution Real-Time Spectral Analyzer and ran the inve...
|

Yes, maybe the 120 db/octave is THE trick for complex multi-ways systems of highest resolution, yet this barbaric:-) slope can ONLY be achieved by digital domain crossovering... unfortunately, as a satisfied user of TacT RCS 2.2 XP AAA room-corrector...

Tonight, after playing some files from my laptop and USB DAC into my main system, I decided to browse the BSO site for some possible new downloads. While I was there, I saw a button to listen to a webcast of Tanglewood's Aug. 8 performance of M8, so...

Hi Romy That's an interesting point! Very interesting. Why mids and highs should have a super light membrane and strong magnet to follow the rule of precise movement, speed, resolution, etc....While in lows its better to run muddy with heavy soft mas...
