[quote user="Romy the Cat"]When Srajan Ebaen was a little boy he loved to help in his uncle’s in French restaurant. They lived in a small German village, filled with many pragmatic eateries that served large meals with sausages and potato. The u...

The story of my great discoveries about this:At school I was teased by Sherlock Holmes. I always get to the truth and to any secrets. I'm still doing great left hook. I was the only left-handed, it was my advantage. So little to me who was fighti...

Haralanov, I partially know what you are talking about and I got my sense of it when I added the Fundamentals and Insertion channels. They both are position above MF and act as nice compliment to Macondo upperbass horn. I still do not know if the...

Many years back, before Bent Audio that repackaged the original Stevens and Billington transformers even existed, and when S&B step up transformers was hard to get the person who designed S&B transformers sent me a pair of his transformer...

I did one such newsletter many years ago at university; one description I recall was "have you ever - inadvertently or otherwise - tasted your own earwax? Well, embrace and amplify that thought, add tannins that could strip paint at five paces and ga...

The life with FM is great – did not play record for a month or so… I was playing with some other tuners that came across Kenwood L-02T and Mono Scott 310. Both were no good.
Anyhow, the experimental Sansui was running all that time. The “tone” at HF...

I think it is wider then just Schroeder arms. Did you see ANY discussions about the Sonic Quality of hyped products? [/quote]No. the typical audiophile has the following tatoo onto his forehead "I-buy-I-Am"[quote user="R...

The basically the same tubes. The 6E5P has own unit pins layout with heaters connected across the tube – very moronic in my view and it does not allow twisting the AC filament wires to the very end. The 6E6P has a common pins layout that most of west...

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions on RTA.Romy -- you are correct, measurements always need to be made in context of sonic experience and more importantly musical intention. For me, though, to begin the process, I need to unlearn much of wh...

"They were both artists thoroughly faithful to themselves. Of course, their music was beautiful beyond description. I learned many things through them. I learned so many things not only from their music, but also from their way of l...

I did not read it, I rarely read those types of articles but what you describe is very common and very indicative for those people. They fly like butterflies from a manufacture to a manufacture, from dealer to dealer and from marketing campaign to ma...

I am thinking again about “detail” in the context of this thread. The issue is which, what sort and/or how much/many detail[s] “should” we be able to hear at any given volume setting?
I have been guilty of enjoying details, etc. I knew were mo...

As I told, I’m generally not a fan of the Shostakovich’s orchestral music. There is in Shostakovich’s “large music” a constant sense of vulgarity, peasant intellectualism, humiliation and a sense of blown-up meaningless artificial musicality that ver...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I play a lot of LP recently and last night I noted that sound was quite bad. It was like a bad electricity day only atop of it sound has some kind of odd digitalization atop of everything. Of course I was blaming the PurePo...

Well, the DG Archiv had very few, or ever, “better moments” in term of recording quality. With Brandenburg Concertos on LP I have the same problem as you do. I have some recordings that I more or less like on LP but I never was comfortable with...

I realize this is off topic, but I would like to address the issue:Rackish wrote: "...Recently I asked someone who contributes regularly on your forum and has a system 'similar' to yours to come and listen to his system. He did not answer. I feel e...

My Cat truly lives on her own. She never comes to me when I call her. She always does whatever she wants. She always wants something different from what I want. I am with her since she was 6 days old She teaches me to live soon to be 21 years and I a...

[quote user="Stitch"]One of my audiophile Friends did it the only way a real man has to do (he had a HUGE stereo System with 2 big monos and fat cables everywhere in his living room)He showed that his girlfriend (they married btw.) and said to her:"Y...

I agree that from absolute point of view "yellow driver with wings" is not a great solution. But, there is many types of yellow drivers with quite different specs and a few types of "wings" also exist. I'm not going to deffend this kind of imp...

I admit tat I ma kind of a freak of nature in my pursuit to the abstract absolute tone of orchestra. Attending life performances I practically never hear “tone” that satisfies me. In the Mecca of my tonal satisfaction there was 3 years ago a vi...

[quote user="de charlus"]Ok, understood, at least somewhat. Are you suggesting that the S2 operates at the frequencies between 1000hz and 3.6khz? I am not insisting upon using the driver at the frequencies that I was initially suggesting; far fro...

Enduring a quite aggressive schedule to the end of the month to finish the horns, I realize how much work is still ahead. As now both of the horns are built. They are no prepared to be painted yet and second skin is not built. This notion that ¾ laye...

Sometimes we have luck when we listen to a System and we can have the illusion of - more or less - pure music realism, but the majority of Systems are sophisticated hi-fi.Not enough, the more expensive the components are, the better dressed the sales...

Generally it is very uncharacteristic subject in audio: the destiny of audio reproduction. Destiny might be only with something that has its own lifespan. Audio reproduction is in a way an imitation and therefore should hot have own destiny because i...

Lots has been written already about tube replacement, but I want to mention my recent experience when replacing the 6C33C output tubes (V2). I had the previous tubes in for only about 1 year; in this case I estimate about 300 hours, althou...

[quote user="anthony"]Exactly that, my sources do
not play loud enough through the Melquiades or DSET. Like your OPPO, they
only put out about 2V RMS which seems to be the modern standard and I need
more. Can you remember what input voltage ...

Paul.you marvelously identified the characteristic Kharma Sound. However, what is very important to understand in my attitude toward Kharma that the Kharma Sound has much more “negative load” with itself then juts being a poor sound from a manufactur...
