Think about “Greatness” as a quantifiable quality and think about a playback’s greatness-transparency. Think also about an ability of a playback to embrace a certain magnitude of Greatness and to deliver a certain level of Superiority…. The Cat...

Re: "That all was expressed many times before..."In this case 1 & 1/2 sentence make the penny drop, where >2 paragraph of Macondo detail didn't...I'm also pleased to know there'd be yet other vehicles then Macondo, to achieve a respectable...

To my ears the Duevel Sirius has some kind of false transparency I also know from The Focal titanium tweeters, so maybe there are metal artefacts, but I didn't find if painful or annoying. Nevertheless, I find this is an unnecessary gimmick, so m...

Preamplifiers: keys to mystery – or…. how a preamp might be not only a load-driving gadget.
Years after years the preamplifiers are being a “terra incognito” of audio people. I admit that preamps are a subject of my persistent curiosity. I was alway...

The Morons™ at AA’s between selling to each other what they did not like and topping each other on their shoulders came up with a subject what horn installation would be if price would be no object. The question is semi-foolish as price is never ...

Wojtek, a preamp should care absolute transparency not because I said it or have warren somewhere within my site but because it just makes sense, doesn’t it? I undusted what you ask but I also undusted why you asked it. The key is that you do not und...

Hi Thorsten,
I understand what you are saying and with regard to the particular preamp in question and you may well be right as there is no mention by the manufacturer what brand of autoformers are in use (or if they roll their own). I am curi...

I am pissed, disappointed depressed and my ego is a size of a brains or an average audio-Moron.
For a last number of days/weeks I was truing to do something extremely simple and still I had failed with a disasters fiasco. All that I need was some ki...

The problem of most solutions in high end audio is "one step forward, two steps back". Personally I prefer to hear all information/dynamics of sound even if the sound is out of control.when I use Isolation Transformer, AC filters (both parallel and ...

N-Set In Tehran properly setup audio systems are rare and most of the time we have not enough transparency to see what PP do with sound.some audiophiles in tehran believe the PP is not good (they prefer AC Line Filters to PP) because they had not go...

I`ve had many small ribbons in my system over the years and I don`t like them. True, they are without competiton above a few Khz, but how to find a decent partnering midrange? They represent unnecessary fragmenting of the musical spectrum (a typical ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I heard the Orgon and I didn`t notice any electronic colorations. The midrange of course doesn`t have the sweetness of an SET, but is the most realistic I have heard from a piece of hifi. The two things on my wishlist would be mor...

It always amasses me how the audio media pull out of it’s ass a “literature” about preamps. They write review after review, admiring the sexy knobs, amusing futures and the reported “musicality” but ironically a year after year NONE of the audio prop...

I thought that a digital crossover had a negative impact on sound quality -- especially for use between a midbass, midrange and tweeter channels. So I made an experiment a what I learned was not expected.I used my mid horn and two high pass filters i...

Hello, would it be possible for us to see the diagrams and schematics behind the Zarathustra II in the same spirit as the Melquiades was conceived, noting that the best of ideas are formed with the purest of sentiments?[quote]It is Dima’s and my stro...

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...

Sure, looking at some moment in the Orgon description I have a lot of suspicion that they use incorrect amplification and incorrectly, and that multi-amping in there was not implemented as it should be but the desi...

"Indeed for classical work I often find a slightly under damped bass response to be emotionally evocative and of benefit to the illusion of the acoustic"Have you looked at the primary cause of this issue with most SET amps? I can tell you that ...

I think it might be very interesting to introduce the high-pass filtration for tapped horn and to see how it behaves. It is not only about thermal overload and restriction of excursion. The unloading of none-used bass generally clean-up the transpare...

Paul McGowan is a regular poster on youtube. I have to take his presentations with a grain of salt as they always conform to sales pitch for PS Audio products, but they are interesting. Recently, he asserts that tubes in preamp stage will provide h...

I listened to Purepower 3000 we finally got it in iran.it is wonderful , new level of dynamics , far better than direct utility.I have a question about pp3000 if you had it in a ultra transparent system.our system is not ultimate in transparency and ...

Hello Romy!I suspect that Sony intentionally astablished a poor conversion algorithm, as well. I don`t think there more than a hand full SACDs that have a separately recorded/mastered PCM layer, maybe some more that use an other (non-Sony) ...

Yep, it is a lot of work and it might look like not well organized work but there is good part in all of it – when you will be do you will be done and you would never do it again. Practice shows that those custom tailored systems are made and then us...

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....

It might be true that a properly configured Milq will cause you to forget about amps for the foreseeable future, if not forever...but really it is not so simple, especially if you are accustomed to particularly high-performing (unfortunately offensiv...

Hello again kitty...Analogous to the lack of perfect "audiomoron" transparency of something like an L1 or tannoys or koetsus, I can see the general direction of your thinking regarding the "oops" nature of developing a musical transducer in room.The ...

I got really pissed today. After initial “welcoming” and informing that they are working on it I kept asking PurePower what they were trying or tested and never was able to get any sensible reply. For the last two day they are dogging my calls and s...

If not for my own personal experience I would never have believed FM radio broadcast could be taken seriously. Recently I had the opportunity to hear a very highly developed audio system with outstanding phono and CD playback. After listening to mu...
