The Japanese manufacture Audio Note by the infamous Kondo-San announced a new revolutionary amplifier. The name of the amplifier unfortunately could not be spelled or pronounced in English and therefore the US distributor Mr. Klein calls it “NDiP” or...

I don't know this Steve Klein. I don't know what bullshit he uses to sell Audio Note's products in the US. If that is what you are attempting to satirise then fine.I am quite familiar with Audio Note Japan's (Kondo) products. I don't use any at the m...

I think you also mentioned that you were involved with the Voyd (which for a Pink Triangle user as I was back then, looked very charming). I recall Voyd being recently acquired by Audio Note UK; are you affiliated with them?Anyway, I actually wa...

Romy I have read on this forum that you are not particularly keen on the very low output AN Japan ( and Uk ) cartridges, may I ask the nature of your experience with them , have you tried the field coil versions? Thanks Keith....

Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note does traditionally price its pro...

[quote user="rowuk"]Brass instruments function much differently than audio horns. First of all they are built extremely resonant by mismatching length and horn taper. The taper of the bell is there not for horn type efficiency, rather to change the a...

I have my terms since 2005 : "Real/Transparent" vs "Emotional/Musical" sound. "Real/transparent audio system" means you get more information from the record. for example CEC TL0 3.0 transport is more real/transparent than other transports. the metho...

The “Enjoy His Music” published the old celebrated by many DIYers Herb Reichert’s article about his 300B amp ideas.

I do not go to 'Audio Shows' but the fact of the people are using Lampizators on this fashion may be because they (Lampizator) are promoting the headamp version of their DACs. Seems almost all of theirs DACs have a headamp version now.My experience w...

Tuga,I do not know what JMLC had written in that paper – I can’t read French but from looking at the pictures I might only presume that he was trying to prove or disprove the Point Source idea by looking at the souses live sound vs. recorded-and-then...

There are many conversations out there about the fact that many music people do not “get” audio. In most cases this is correct. They are many conversations, we had some of them at this site and the reasons of the phenomena that were brought are ...

I used to have a few musician friends and played a little myself, but they were never really interested in audio, they did have a system but no intention to sit in the sweetspot or anything of the sort, we used to go to concerts and they would carry...

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...
