Hi Romy Thanks for your reply.I am in the market for either a new pre-amp or phono and line stage.I know they need around 47k for optimal loading, but what else might I be concerned with.Did you have a look on Agon ...

Over a number of years I come across a number versions of Van den Hul’s write up. It is very mildly controversial (very mildly) but still it is a wonderful read for amy analog user. http://www.goodsoundclub.com/pdf/Phono_FAQ.pdf ...

Interesting question. A few biased observations:
- After months of listening to your system has she autonomously developed an interest in learning more about it? - Are you interested in learning to play an instrument? If so, would you like Amy to t...

[quote user="noviygera"]I think most people, as audience find fascination in unusually capable performance of the performers, as in a live music event. So if there is no performer there is nothing to give homage to, really. Other than good reproducti...

Just to show we were paying attention and NOT digressing OT:Perhaps, then, Romy should take on the role of Amy's audio sommelier? Sure, Amy knows music; but Romy knows music via hi-fi. He can cater to her tastes in a way that surprises and delights ...

No doubt, then, you've also enjoyed the celebrated ancient Champagnes that the rest of us have only heard about?It's on my bucket list...And now I'm starting to think, Romy and Amy should just head straight for Dijon, maybe catch some chamber music o...

Amy told me that when she first time visited me my room appeared to her like an interrogation facility: large room with bunch of equipment and a single chair in the middle. I understand where she got the idea from but I loved that free standing s...

My Boston listening room was relatively high on absorption.
It sounded spectacular despite of it but it was small. By last listening room
was also slightly over damped, not as much as by Boston room. That was before
Amy. As Amy moved with me she b...

The last nigh we went to book store – the wify wanted to buy UK traveling guide and I glanced the September Stereophile magazine. It had two interesting artless – Art Dudley look like publicly was loosing his virginity about horns and Mike Framer had...

As Amy moved in a few month back I inherited her Bose play station.

This radio is a platform for iPad and active speaker. Since we have two home we now own ...

Hey Romy, does Amy read this? That would be a nice way of communicating the problem.Hmmm.... RoAmy?Roamy?Ramy?Anyway... I have a friend who's arranged a signal for his wife to leave him the f. alone -- a hat or cap on while in the house. She had some...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is interesting to see where the Ortofon new move will lead and if it has any following.Rgs, Romy the Cat[/quote]I think, it is special for European marketing. They think Classic music is normally for a Listener, who does...

The last month was strange. We undergo a minor house overhaul.
It started from the fact that we looking around the house and discoed two extra
bedrooms that we did not exist. The result was kind devastating – we completely
remap the rooms of the h...

Congrats on the new brats. And family. How things have changed. Even though Amy has introduced sound problems I appreciate the decoration efforts. Also the Angels playing strings tapestry is magnificent. So did you ever get Zarathustra functional...

God, I having fun like at “old time”! Woke up at 4am today, was not able to sleep. Turned the playback, cleaned the room and set the DAW to stream the Bayreuth festival 2017. The ABC is broadcasting tonight the August 3 live recording of Götterdämmer...

I did my very best to disguise myself as I am a local Scottish fellow. I bought a ridicules hat and smoked only British tobacco but I guess it was not enough. We spend a phenomenally pleasant nigh in a desolate but remarkably cute hotel on a bank of ...

This is what I did: got 75 feet of 3.5mm cable and put the Bose SoundDeck radio in this cable, running it from my main system’s preamp. I need to tell that the sound of that Bose radio when it run by line input is not even near the same as running it...

Romy, the world is kilt. Not skirt. Kilt. The Scots will turn YOU into a haggis if they catch you mixing that up.Seriously, It's nice you posted a picture with Amy. Now when you mention her we'll have an image to go with the name.You mentioned bag...

We left England, talking a long route to Scotland across Cambridge, York and all the way north to Loch Ness. Love England and absolutely fall in love with London. The last few days we spent in London did explained to me why Amy consider London the b...

Amy the Kitty last night was purring, purring and then asked me if I want when we have a free day in London to make a short ride to Paris. I kind of perplexed with it. I do not have a special feeling about Paris; I was there and it was a nice city, s...

Best wishes for Amy,
Unfortunately Bruckner did not write great parts for violas generally.

JJ, do not even think that you can find Amy by investing 30
seconds of picture standing. It took for me 44 years to find her....

Yep, that was the Kitty, good eyes. She played the last viola chairs. This position
is not exactly the reflection of her play but rather the status she negotiated for
herself in the orchestra. In contrary to most of the BPO musicians she does not

Last week Amy and I went to listen BSO under Andris Nelsons to play Bruckner 4. It was OK concert. BSO is not really Bruckner-type ensemble and Nelsons is too young to be “interesting” Bruckner interpreter. Still, there were some good moments t...
