Hi Roman, FM Acoustics amplifiers from Switserland have been regarded by many audiophiles (mostly the ones with lots of money) as the best sounding (solid state) amps regardless of price. They even bettered the best amps from Krell, Mark Levinson, et...

Hi Roman, yes it is true that it is a bit foolish to refer to Krell and Mark Levinson, but I had to refer to some familiar brands that are in high regard among many of us. Many audiophiles from the Far-East (Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, Si...

Hi Romy,
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. The highly recommended one over here is the Graham Slee Jazz Club. http://www.gspaudio.co.uk/preamps/jazzclub.htmHowever I want to try to get the old LEAK tube preamp to work first....

[quote user="dazzdax"] Many audiophiles from the Far-East (Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, Singapore) are fans of FM Acoustics. These are people who have the money and according to them nothing beats the sound of FM Acoustics, wh...

Humber speaks about his Harmonic Linearizer device. It is very possible that this FM Acoustics preamp is a fine
unit and that it does better than other EQ solutions but why the EQ solution

Chris, I'm not Romy but I've listened to some of their products -- about which I'll talk later. First:[quote user="dazzdax"]Hi Roman, FM Acoustics amplifiers from Switserland have been regarded by many audiophiles (mostly the ones with lots of money)...

Romy, fortunately I live nearby Amsterdam (the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's home), so I'm quite familiair with the Concertgebouw's acoustics. The Philips recordings made in the late 60's and during the 70's with Bernard Haitink and Colin Davis sou...

No question the thing needs a good buffer, anyway, and I would prefer to have it single-ended, just so I don't have to change everything over to balanced to make it work. As far as features, including the number of inputs, why not have a +/-modular,...

Well, I thought there might be an audio solution, but it sort of turned into a musing about how much of the money we spend benefits us, whether the expensive music deliver system (fancy hall with bad acoustics? 400 lb krell space heaters?) enhances t...

It seems ironic that the path to bringing the single-channel DSET/narrow band horn idea to market would invlove traditional marketing per se as much as the melding of evolved listening with cutting edge technology. While there is rote work...

[quote user="steverino"]I think this only works with grossly deficient recordings. I believe Levinson chose a historical recording as his example for the reviewer. But it allows the FM Acoustics listener to spend endless hours fiddling with the contr...

Ive attended a half dozen performances this year and I find the acoustics of this hall quite terrible. Apart from some of the orchestra's lackluster and sloppy performance at times, the sound generally doesnt seem to carry well in this hall. It sou...

Funny, but the FM Acoustics house sound is not bad at the shows and salons where I have heard it. They like to list their"name" customers, including "big names" from the "music industry". Well, the music/recording industry was the inventor of the s...

It is funny but for many years I had been intrigued by the different approach to audio by Japanese vs "the West"."The west" here refers to Absolute Sound type (not everyone in the West is this of course) criteria of live performance.

A local GSC member took me up to THE Show, in Newport Beach, CA. This was the first audio show I've attended in over 25 years. It was way more frenetic than any audio show I remember. Lousy sound everywhere, of course, and no good music, and the c...

There was a good article about this very subject in 2004. You have to pay to use the NYT's archives, but one of Michael Green's disciples quoted it on their website, and they didn't get sued for copyright, so I guess it is OK to post it here:

Thanks, Romy, for your generous reply.
I won't try to address everything about everything, but let me bore
you with a mini-history of what is going on with my playback so you
will understand where I'm coming from and where I'm trying to ...
