This whole subject of acoustical reconstruction of performing whole by using reverberation channels is very complicated to discuss on audio forums. If visin many aspects of sound reproduction, better or worse, but we have constructed some c...

It was very interesting experience today. My son have a birthday party and they decided to do it in our house. I was obliged to play Harry Potter in a big screen for 15 kids, so it's naturally make me too move all the speaker along the wall...

Some drives do not get along with certain reflective surfaces. I had a Philips that played just about everything. Then I bought a Yamaha and all of the "gold" colored CDs would not play. I think that your dirt issue is not the real problem. If th...

Good afternoon Romy! I'm Pat Mattucci, and I'd like to respond to your post.How interesting you would post a response to my humble question to an obscure little group on my birthday, of all days. I'm honored. I also happen to be from the Philadelphia...

After eons of construction, I've finally completed my version of the 801A premap, based on Ale Moglia /Bartola Valves design with his Gyrator anode loads, SiC bias and Rod Coleman filament supplies. 6 inputs, switched by an Elma switch and Dave S...

I never knew that it will be so much fun. As I started the basement cleanup project I did kind of remotely conceptualize that I will try to make a winter pipe smoking place. Instead I discover in my house a new listening room that I have to tell you ...

Here is a good Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 illustration. This is a station not truly DX but a station that is in very difficult reception environment. I never was able to get it clear from my location. Even the DX champion Yamaha T-85 in its ultra na...

[quote user="Paul S"]It seems from following these threads that no one so far has been content to stay focused on recreating the accidental success of the original Dunnoy/Dannoy. Is this because no one can actually recreate the original, or is it bec...

Yep, Stefano, it looks like we do have similar views about the subjects we touched. Let go back to exploring one of the terra incognito of compression driver – the sound of Goto.

I would like to ask if you have tried something like guitar reverb pedals instead of those processors (or other ambient pedals)?

Hm.... I generally late to technology innovations in audio and I am OK with it. As many of you know many of "innovations" in audio are very much shooting to a wrong target and in most of the instances with a wrong dun and wrong ammunition. The new o...

Since FM long has been my primary at the most enjoyable audio source I decided to push the envelope a little further. The Rohde & Schwarz tuner bind via wide-bandwidth output with modified Yamaha T-85 MPX decoder sounds identical to Sansui TU-X1....

I made further experiments and listening and now I have concluded that I am very comfortable Yamaha T-85 Multiplex decoder and I have sold it to use it as a default multiplex for Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201. I made a few modifications in T-85 Multipl...

[quote user="rowuk"]In the case of brass players -
including Mr. Schlueter, I would maintain that many simply have no interest in
historic context for Mahler or Bruckner - or older music. Case and point: a

I truly enjoy reading the different internet audio idiots expressing their “wisdom” about what I do. There is a site out there filed with typical audio white trash and they suddenly developed a desire to criticize my admiration of FM based upon ...

Samuel,

For a casual observer it might appear that I am constantly fought with my ULF, finding and loosing better and worse configurations. It might be so but I have a very strong sense of objective of what I would like to accomplish. I want to reinstat...

Collin, there is one more tip for you how you might bult a very inexpensive but very good performing MF channel, thought it might be slightly time-consuming…

I pulled from a basement Dunleavy SCIII and plugged them as

Ha! Maybe I can help. I lived in Tokyo for a few years and tried to find the "perfect" commuting earbuds. Tokyo's "Best Buy" type electronics stores are huge and typically stock 100s of different models. There are also two large headphone specialty s...

I mean to make this post with the observations for a number of weeks. The days are passing by and I hoped that I might get deeper to the bottom of it. Unfortunately I was not able to.

I would like to follow up with my initial post. The last nigh I went to NY’s Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center to hear the Spivakov NPoR. I have great sit (Orchestra RowM, center, 3 sits on the left – perfect for piano concertos). Funny: ahead of m...

Well, it is hard to express my excitement about what the new FM99.5 All-Classical is turning into. It looks like the programming is settling down and my concerns about to become too popular turn out to be wrong. The programs are very good, the ...

While the pure power units are the best I’ve heard at removing ac grunge, they are still not 100% effective.
