At the risk of sounding like a yahoo, can i ask you romy if you have used your PC for internet radio playback. , as opposed to cd or other forms of digital playback ? My cd collection played out of iTunes to my DAC sounds lifeless, pointless. Howev...

Ok Romy thanks for advice. I will see about the loading for my shelter, and my cable to the step-up is nothing special. I am going to listen to mono only for next few weeks and see if i find the "same character of sound everywhere" syndrome! I do h...

Hi Romy,Well maybe it is that the answer. My mono is pierre clement eb 25 broadcast cartridge, the original not the contemporary remake. The output is extremely high, almost overwhelming my phono amp I have the impression. Also, it tracks very heavy...

Try as I might, I can't get my sme3012/shelter 901 combo to do tubas . My ortofon309/vintage mono cartridge does it magnificently the tuba down low makes me goosevumps all over just likenthe cello. I think my stepup for shelter is incorrect choice, t...

Romy,I am very interested in this thread as I have heard the latest version of the speaker "eufrodite mk IV" . I do not think any of your objections would be changed by the latest version as he is now using push-pull array of beyma 8" drivers up to 2...

Orchestre de Radio France archival recordings of live concerts all day on the radio. Phenomenal performances with lush, full textured strings, crisp horns, deep bass volume. Isaac stern playing the brahms violin concerto and I am in heaven.Romy can't...

Hi,Yes i don't understand all this, but they transmit concerts live over internet here with rate up to 192Kbps and quality is very good. With the satellite we can have AAC+ live broadcasts at high sample rate which i am wondering about quality as i d...

Still hoping someone has experience with the dab+ satellite,radio,available now in germany, austria, italy and switzerland? ...

Are these restek.de satellite tuners any good? I am wondering if I should update my fm tuner or if it is waste of money if we will be listening to satellite or internet based radio only in next few years. I like the idea of getting german live broad...

Hi RomyShould I pay 95€ for a seat ro hear LSO /haitnick perform Bruckner 7th? It will be broadcast live over the net by the way. I don't have much experience with Haitnick but something makes me think he is more comfortable with mozart?...

Hi Romy,When youmdiscuss silicon dumping with your 3012 do you mean the silicon you put on headshell orDo you mean you use a silicon bath to damp the arm resonance, or both? I can't find the thread and I have decided to spend some time with my vinyl ...

Hi Romy, i used S2 for about last ten years and recently gave up on them, i don't have the skills to get the soundI want out of them. They were giving me lots of string bite, but not the fat wood sound, they were closer with old multicell horns tha...
|
|
I feel like i want a line array of lowThers with random graininess applied to their paper membrane as my oops channel! I would want the strings to have the texture of aged beef when it is cooked "aller/retour" (french alwys use food metaphors.).Serio...

Why is it that the strings, especially the massed violins are so difficult. It's like romy always says a reviewer that only listens to jazz or rock really isn't going to be trustworthy. ...

Puccini il trittico live in lyon 1st balcony center vs. Shelter 901 through three-way horn-loaded speakers in myExperience room!Looking back through romy's earlier posts in effort to reconcile live experience last night with what I have at home!I wan...

Yes i am glad to not be in cartridge market either. Of all the equipment i hve biught, auditioned, researched, the cartridge is,the most elusive. Tou,have no idea if,the hifi store, reviewer, internet guy has set up the thing properly, and the number...
|
|
Hi Romy, I haven't been listening to much analog past few years, so,thout I would adjust my 901 and get back to basics. I really like this cartridge and forgot how great the bass can be. It is lovely on pianoforte, simple schubert songs...

Played around with beethoven 5th and guitar placement. I do not understand what to make of my experiment. I do not notice difference to upper bass but in the mass strings higher up, there are less holes in the sound if i may, more of a cluster of ins...

Interesting romy, i play guitar. When i was learning to play the sound of one instrument vs another was very important too me. After playing for years i can enjoy playing almost any decent quality guitar as i can adjust my playing to get what i want...

Hi haalanov,When i listen to "music" from audio source i listen for something which isnexactly the criteria which you discuss but in very simple terms. I do not discuss it as i dont want audio reviewers to lash onto what we are listening for and exp...

Hi romy,Haven't spent too much time on your site the past year unfortunately, but always check in from time totime to see what direction tou are heading for the moment!For 2012 i have gone into ready- made acoustic system which iabsolutely love' no t...

Hi Romy, I keep a pair of old RCA 18-cell horns for my S2s in the garage that I hope someday to reintegrate into my system. I remember loving the violon tone I could get out those and the sound was coming from WAY back , a depth I have never been ...
|

Hi Romy,Thanks for posting the review, I was looking forward to it as well. Unfortunately I would be hard pressed to find a better example of worthless drivel in audio reviewing, why does he even bother. The pictures are nice though, his listening r...

Hi Romy,If you have a moment between setting up your gear in new room, can you point me to the thread where you discuss suggested wood horn finishing techniques? I can't find it.I am hopefully on verge of placing order for my first mid-bass horn for ...

hi romy, thanks for invite and one of these days I will come by with the guigal cote rotie, st. marcelin cheese and a few cigars thatwe can still buy legally. The non-horn idea was for a second system in a very large room and i want a store bought s...
