Here is an article by Leonard Norwitz that I think some of you might find motivating. I do not know Mr. Norwitz but it sounds like dinked too mach Qvortrup’s coca-cola. Anyhow, although I do not agree with some (sometimes many) of the Mr. Norwitz’s c...

[quote user="starboy"]In the thread I wrote there is another Mantis owner Bauzace50 (a noted gentleman to myself in terms of transducers) who had a Jubilee as his reference and that with no second thought hit the Bay.[/quote]Did y...

[quote user="Thorsten"]1) It does so in your system context.2) It does so to your personal prejudices how music reproduction should sound.[/quote]T, I do not want to derail the thread into a different direction but still I would allow myself to make ...

In reply Paul,
My original post specifically mentioned that my comments perhaps did not apply to you. I am well aware from reading many of your posts that you have reached a level of maturuty and experience to be able to identify nuances(vecto...

In fact, digital recording allows the industry to process easily every musical material (a very powerful exchange-tool). Unfortunately, digital recordings are also highly corruptible in the musical-expresive potential as you point...

Romy:It is difficult for me to understand the bubleness you described here. I always use as reference the real sound of real instrument. I have not heard the drivers you talked about in other threads where you presented the idea of a...

[quote user="hagtech"] After many years, Romy has come to enjoy this style of amplification. If I read his words correctly, the sound of these machines brings him more emotion and connection with the music and musicians. An admiral goal.&...

I wonder how myth in all those digital gismos and how little what we considering in digital is obvious and self-explanatory in reality has not relation to Sound. Also, how much those people with who just learned how to solder and let their blind (and...

[quote user="deemon"]But here we have an interesting question . Imagine two persons - the first man likes classic music and don't likes rock , and the second - likes both . And they tries to make their systems using this concept - "good performa...

Ok, I got it yesterday and I really do not like it. I do not know where to start - it is so much off what where Rachmaninoff left it – it just a very different amplitude of talent. With Rachmaninoff each note has beauty, balance, reference to the who...

People are not required to like or dislike anything. I guess the question you raise would require some additional info to answer. Some people have Austro German music as their reference and therefore don't really like styles which are at variance, fo...

Paul, I think you are losing a point of reference. Of course the concept enough is wonderful and absolutely no one would argue with it. If I name what I think is enough people going to be truly shocked because it will cost no more than 100 bucks....

[quote user="noviygera"] … if we reduce our concept of "music" the more fundamental concept of "sound" as point of reference than we can easier visualize of what audio system should do. …. … this is not possible would be to take the "sound" as a poin...

Hello, would it be possible for us to see the diagrams and schematics behind the Zarathustra II in the same spirit as the Melquiades was conceived, noting that the best of ideas are formed with the purest of sentiments?[quote]It is Dima’s and my stro...

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

I have some “issues” with the 176.4kHz idea, particularly knowing the most of the RR recordings were not recorded in 176.4kHz. I am glad that they did not go for X48K format but stuck with X44 (I more like the Linn’s 88.2KHz “Studio Masters” idea). S...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] The problem is two or three identifiable frequency-dependent sources has no reference in live music either …[/quote]
It is true, so the amount of the channels is not mandatory or necessary qualifier for sound reprodu...

The "better" 5751s got here and I took advantage of wifey's absence to listen at night. It was cool and the electricity was pretty good, just a little "dry", but no "cotton". Lazy boy, I still haven't fixed my DAC, so I have had only viny...

Sure, I believe there is a speed/congestion relationship, but I do not think it is singular, and furthermore I think there is more to the speed issue "itself" than meets the eye, if you get what I mean.At this point all I can say is that the belt/hea...

Since the 2007-2008 alchemic music season and consequentially live FM season was over (the event I marked with my “End of the live Phonostage”) I have been spinning a lot of vinyl lately. So, I spent some time with different phono cables with my diff...

Very interesting point about Gergiev. I do not dispute it. I just know that at present time some of the work released by him is very pleasing to me. That does not limit me to only listening to what Gergiev is doing. For example...

[quote user="drdna"] Yes, we are saying the same thing. The problem as I have found it is that transparency is easily recognized and so there is a tendency for audiophiles to focus on this when they try to improve their systems, and this can ma...

Wojtek, I do use 8 Ohm drivers, and I am mildly curious about the "pattern" thing. As I said in posted responses to Bud, I +/- accept the science but suspect the implementation in this case; however, I would be happy to give a listen...

Thanks Steve for your insightful answer. I feel mixed feelings with classical music. I have some composers that can grab my attention whatever version of their music I listen to, but are very few, probably just Bach, Beethoven and Mendelsso...

Romy, I can very much relate to the objective of faithfully reproducing the music's original complexity, and that the margin for intentional editing is limited and inevitably results in sameness. My point is that while in live music full complexity a...

[quote user="slowmotion"]Alltough I understand both the scepticism against both the so-called DIY-movement and the audio industry (the industry is a many headed monster, tho - without the industry I/we wouldn't be here ) , I strongly agree with Guy's...

Well, I guess the Tchaikovsky Pathetique symphony with its slow gloomy decay will be out of picture to play on TT with Stevenson's alignment…. Well, as I said I would argue any alignment theory that relates alignment with music type. So naturally I d...

The last movement of the B7 is something that put the symphony as a symphony together and it is not a good idea in my view to look at the last movement as a self-contained piece of music. The fist movement might be self-contained – it is a wonderful ...

Hello Mario,I enjoyed this calibration file. I like to have a reference like this. I will be getting the 7th album you have released with some Schubert and Lizst music I like. It is nice to see you and your company is trying better yourselves and mov...
