Romy, thank you for your thoughts. First off, my further thought on the system and specifically the implementation of the high freq section: Yes, the time alignment would be a challenge but possible. This is the main compromise, in my view but the le...

I recently dealt with two manufactures that produce music . I noted that both of them stated with good result but nowadays, years in operation, they produce despicable crap. This correlates with a famous amplifier manufacturer, very much not stup...

Thanks for all the suggestions. As it happens, there were no exhibitors at the Flemings Hotel this year. But I did pop into the Stax stall before listening to anything else.In general, I was pretty disappointed with what I heard. Most of the ‘convent...

Hi AdrianI'm sorry if my post seemed to be directed at your acoustic noise issue. It was meant to reply to 2 other postings that simply asked if the battery only turned on in a blackout and whether there was a difference in the audio system performan...

I am not hiding my snobbish inclinations and I know that it is a ridicules view but it truly does not work with me when a generally poorly sounding orchestra, instrumentalist or a vocalist are trying to play something distinctively well. I poor sound...

I have heard that here and there an advertising of new 12AX7 production.http://www.musicdirect.com/product/73403I wonder if it is the truly new production of some kind of new manufacturer (like Emission Labs or similar) or juts rebranded and repainte...

It use to be a time when audio professionals did not just BS themselves and the gullible consumers of their services but actually were trying to do some objectionable things. Here is an interesting article from 1957. Although I do not find the ...

Yesterday I got two emails asking me about Lamm ML3. I replied as I usually do, saying that I that I do not practice in satisfaction in audio-consumer curiosity. Still, it made me to think again about a hypothetic amp around GM-70.I am not a fa...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I don't have a problem with what Lamm has done in offering the ML3 (ignoring the price)... If I have a problem it is more related to how the product is being represented. Representations aside, depending on how it sounds,...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] … I am going to revise my "Mini" speakers for a second system (different location) and I have not decided how serious they should be. [/quote] From one point I would like it to be better, not because it need to be but beca...

Ah yes, how could I have forgotten Montrachet DRC? Also totally spectacular stuff, right up there with Lafon, Leflaive and Lucien Le Moine. Actually, when requiring an excellent white Burgundy and not feeling like spending $700 per bottle, and having...

Actually, for me it works differently. I do not read a lot about horns and try do NOT learning anything about horns. I very much do not take seriously also most of the things that people talk about horns on internet. People run mouth on any subject ...

While there is much complaint about contemporary reissues of classical music on vinyl, what is the alternative if you don't currently own original pressings? While visiting a friend here in Boston he went through 3 different DG pressings of Listz P...

Yes, I know, Antonio, thanks. There are a lot of IC-based phonostages out there. I have no technical reasons to say that they should be bad but unfortunately they sound kind of “identically bad”. You see no one make them to sound in a “tailored”, def...

That is I always was interested - why we never hear about Audio from the richest Arab countries? I was looking recently at the log of my site and saw a number of recent visitors from there. It would be interesting to hear about audio environment in t...

I had a number of discussions about ribbons loading into horns and I generally do not welcome this idea. There are a few reasons why it never work properly and one of the most convincing is that in order to develop enough output from a ribbon you nee...

I pitch for many times an idea that most of audio people never experienced any truly great level of high-end audio reproduction that might be a reference for their hi-fi objectives. Experiences from audio installations and live sound are different an...

This is the idea that I like. It looks like it is a Slovakian company and this amps is two stage with a reasonable driver and it looks like they make their own 2A3.

Deciding for horns is actually very easy. Why:1) in the common sense range for each horn/driver they have far LESS distortion than any standard dynamic driver covering the same bandwidth. I define distortion as frequencies not originally in the recor...

Well, let start with factual data:
