[quote user="el`Ol"] ….I loved eastern European recordings because of their far less damped concert halls…. [/quote]

I need to note that MicroTTs, American Sound and a few other TTs with very heavy palter are complicated subjects. From one perspective a heavy platter is the key. I remember years back a few years Lechintsky published mathematical equivalents of TT ...

de Charlus, thank you very much for the wonderful narrative. For sure an exposure to a good audio installation and witnessing what it can do to sound able to redefine our believes in functional meaning of a playback. I think we all who mingling with...

I do not like the AMT Heil drivers at all. I have no idea what 5 times higher transient response they claimed but to my ears all AMT drivers I heard sounded like their upper notes are covered with 2 inch deep saliva. The Heil drivers are in my view t...

[quote user="oxric"] Your listening room probably needs to be heard to be fully appreciated but I am sure that in terms of ambient noise, good as it is, it could be better. You have these large doors opening on the outside and I have a feeling your h...

Hi miab, my room is approx. 6x5x4m, so although quite small by North American standards (not UK!), the ceiling is higher than that of most modern houses. This seems to play a big part in the LF performance of any speakers in this room. I currently ha...

I was recently informed that some guys whose interests restricted only around a subject how to make the “Bride cut the cake” to sound louder took the above-posted article under thier “scrupulous” collaboration.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I will be waiting for the February 24 with my tail trammeling…[/quote]Well, I went last Saturday to see the long-expected MET Broadcast. It was generally positive experience but it had own “apocalyptical” tones… “I do not ...

It is not US’s Fox News and not Stereophile and there is no need to pull the fractions of "stupid" soundbytes to prove any agendas. Anyone whoever are frequent this site know in context of what the said was said. Most important that I know what ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Honestly, steverino, I do not think that the situation is as
tragic as you believe it might be. For sure it always would be here and there

[quote user="drdna"]If it was not clear from my oblique comments before, I agree with what all have said, DAC1 seems to be techinically more correct but at the expense of some information loss. DAC2, which I prefer, has more distortions but als...

Well, what I told you that I am a Moron and you did not believe me then you were fools. Here is a case to point. This week I deeded to connect my Holrick mechanical motor-generator in use. I did not mean to listen the sound of it. My objectives were ...

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...

I would like to pass some summarizing observations and some generalizations regarding the entire “Water Drop” project.
THE IDEA
The idea of trying to find a tweeter to compliment Macondo was a good idea. Many of you know that I was proudly declari...

Lx, you do not need to convince me that PP2000 has problem or problems. Of cause it is way beyond the sophomoric solutions like lift the ground and AC polarity. No, I did not try the cascading PP2000, I did ask PurePower about it and they were no...

[quote user="amperidian"] To me Russian music is not about joy and musicality (unless you specifically consider Tchaikovsky), but instead it tends to portray the bleak and tragic history of that nation and the iron will that was forged through it.&nb...

Well, the morons, particulary the Audio Groupies (read more here), at AA were mildly bitching about this thread, nothing new. Unfortunately the thread is a perfect depicturing of the typical level of results and the most important - the level of...

Was talking with various audio people about the 6C33C I was amazed that people are so clueless about this tube. The people are so filled with some foolish prejudges and faulty notions about 6C33C that I deseeded to put together a brief “6C33C user ma...

Last night as I lay down in bed I checked what was on the local PBS FM, using my headphones. Beethoven's 7th Symphony was near the end of the first movement, and it was being played well enough that I continued listening through to the end.I was try...

It is not about low voltage buttery power, tube version with 200 pounds power supply, CRL filtration, no-transformer gain or air capacitors. The topology that we might or might not admit to comply with the concept of “acceptable phonostage” is co...

[quote user="Stitch"] Sound was really lifelike, true in tone, for 1000 visitors in a cinema with a 2W amplifier....of course it can't be compared in rooms for one owner with pinpoint imaging, but it was a good performance. A lot of listeners scratch...

Well, this concept of Defense Mode is good for superficial explanation (or for selling to ourselves own justifications) and I use to use it in past but I do not use it for a few years as unfortunately it is not what it is. The correction of “the wron...

As some of you know I’m playing last couple days with Red 10” Tannoys from 60s. My selection of 10” was not accidental -I would like to get as less as possible of that “Tannoy bass” but I did run very far the “Reds” turned out to have 27Hz open...

C, I very much agree about the benefits of spherical needle, partially on the older records and out of condition records, and this is one of the reasons why people have multiple arms on TTs. Yes, in many cases the spherical stylus “tracks better” 9mo...

I got my pair of F120A by-the-book bookshelves a few weeks ago and yes, in the beginning they were very much "compressed" sounding. Things improved a bit over time, but the low treble (which gives instruments their "color") is still recessed. So I ...

This is a very good question, but there is a lot involved.Tying "expressive/drama" factor to frequency range is very real. With a trumpet (and a soprano voice for instance) I would say that we change from dramatic to spectacular above the soprano sta...
