I understand what you are saying in conceptual level and I agree 99% of us are molded in the frame work of the industry, but in practice, don't we need "knowledge and experience" albeit from a different perspective (the listening awareness)? Th...

Lack of "intention" and lack of "the recognition of actual results"? I don't know where this is heading either. I'll sleep on it.Yoshi...

What was wrong was that I do not have a proper evaluation method/ability of Sound and piled up my system around the Reps driver with an intention to overcome the obvious shortcomings under the way I've been listening to jazz. The result wa...

I've been listening to my system tuned by Romy. So far, this is what I think is happening. I don't want look like a kid puffing up to look like an adult, so will try to be simple.The most noticeable difference is the increased dynamics an...

From the audio perspective, I heartily agree and understand your point. After all, the system you tuned for me is teaching me so much about audio and music that I'll need some time to access what is really happening.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]

When I wrote that article about 4 years ago, I received responses from a couple of different countries asking about the feasibility of opening and maintaining such establishments today. I had to give them a very negative answers unless they hav...

Still, although a certain level of expressionism and intentions might be found in the better players from the jazz’s past but unfortunately even that music is very one-dimensional and very lightly content-loaded.

I am sorry to report a very unti-climax ending of my 8 years' saga with the Reps-1 driver. It ended abruptly when Romy came and said "Let's go for the LE-8 (which I had it in my second system)".I'll report my findings in a different thread...

Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts on my situation. The box is about 22" x 18" x 12", 3/4 thick plywood, internally braced with 2 by 4. Pretty much no damping except 2" thick acoustic form covering the rear panel which has 3" s...

Romy dropped by yesterday. He goddamn demonstrated how "yellow" and compressed the Lowther (Reps-1, in my case) is, using my system, by simply playing other channels and the Lowther channal separately (mine is a 4way multi-amp set up, so it's v...

Recently, I added JBL 2220 for below 200 and replaced TOA DSP with Pioneer D-23 4way active crossover. The result is very positive, but there are still many issues I'd like to attend.I'll be out of country early in September so that'll be a goo...

It is the "Big'Un", high-passed at 110Hz if I remember what he said correctly. The tweeters are back in the main driver frame with some EQ added. I'm sure the effect I heard came from the combination of the driver and the cabinet. So ...

OK, Romy gave me an oppotunity to hear the system with the injection channel, so here's what I heard.The injection channel affects the presentation in a minor and in a very major way. Minor in context of already well accomplished Melquiades/Mac...

I don't know what tinnitus is, but got a similar problem also on my left ear. Sometimes it appears as ringing to certain frequency, sometimes it appears as a piercing distortion (like beaming). First, I thought my ears got very sensi...

Although I do not think the price of 47 gears I distribute and Loiminchay are structured the same way, I should not have joked about it, especially considering all the accusations I received in the past years. Still, if you'd like to talk ...

No. The only thing I can remember is that it was some unknown material with a trumpet and a bass. The trumpet coming from the horn and the bass coming from the woofer. The volume was low, so I can't even tell if the two dr...

It wasn't a silent display. I heard some weeny brassy Mars wind and Marsian footsteps coming from them. I thought of asking to play some Earth material I brought with and realized I forgot them in my car. Typical of me.Yoshi...

I just came back from Stereophile Show in NYC. A couple of observations. Haniwa's FPIC-100 DSP seems to be nothing but a typical DSP with digital crossover/equalizer/delay with auto feedback through a microphone set at the liste...

I've been having love/hate relationship with Lowther (and its siblings) for several years now. As you all say, it has many problems to use as a full-ranger. Right now, my set up is a 3way multi-amp, Lowther (Reps 1) in Medallion cabi...

This is how I took Jonathan's post. He (Janathan) is mocking you (Romy) by presenting a hypothetical situation assuming your ego would be hurt in that situation and get pissed the same way some audio people react hysterically to your criticism ...

That's really a great story, Romy. I'd love to see his face then.I have an opposit one, also from Midori's book. One day, Mravinsky's wife put on an LP of Stravinsky's "Apollon Musagete". Mravinsky screamed, "Oh, my god! ...
