In my audiophile past with poor resolution speakers (Spendor BC1) I used to listen to puristic recordings like Telarc with compressor to get the late reflections on audible levels. I felt that distorted imaging is better than no imaging. I loved east...

[quote user="Paul S"]Ironically, the "best" musical bass I have gotten is from the ML2s 16 Ohm taps, which seems to fly in the face of both the concept and the obvious problems that the Z/load creates. What I am saying is that despite the "kitt...

The Stahl-Tek DAChttp://www.stahltek.com/vekian_da.htmKeith, what is interesting is that you claim “greater resolution” and “presence” - would you please explain what does it mean?The Cat...

"We Orientals tend to seek our satisfactions in whatever surroundings we happen to find ourselves, to content ourselves with things as they are; and so darkness causes us no discontent, we resign ourselves to it as inevitable. If light is scarce then...

Very interesting about the lateral vs. vertical resolution. According to "Raptor Force", a 2007 Nature documentary, the owl can locate a vole under the snow based on its offset ear geometry. "Like us, the owl can find the left-right position of a no...

I kept thinking about cats and cat food (also known as birds) listening habits this afternoon. That's why parrots bob up and down, as well as (less often) twist back and forth on one leg sometimes-- to triangulate and pinpoint a location in all...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Well, I have to admit that I did not listen the whole sound of AC vs. DC filaments yet. I will bring home today my DC lab supply that I use for my electromagnet coil and will give the try. I still at this point am not...

yes I understand your take with regard to those phrase, now what a about "too dull" or "not resolved" or "lack of detail"?Those would then be equally 'incorrect' for initial sound determination. If I use a different cart to my current V15 xMR, sa...

[quote user="Axel"]is what I assume that your CD's source is all about. So it could be in deed a problem having used the 'original' master tape (analogue) which might have had a slight problem, stretched, or issues with the equipment speed (slight sp...

I do not regularly buy High Resolution files and most of my High Resolution files are my own FM recordings or something that was given to me by other people. I bought no more two dozens of Hi-Res files in past and it was about it. I do not active...

[quote user="perrew"]Romy, agree it sounds and looks strange. But the arm works with two magnets, one sitting under the arm/string and the other below it on the base, these two should be parrallel when the VTF is measured and this occurs when the arm...

Well, the conflict you pointed might sound reasonable but not completely.
The First quote is taken from a thread “Disregard Digital with Vacuum Tube

Generally it is very uncharacteristic subject in audio: the destiny of audio reproduction. Destiny might be only with something that has its own lifespan. Audio reproduction is in a way an imitation and therefore should hot have own destiny because i...

OK Romy, I get it. You may believe that the act of the DVD-A creation software will alter the music bits as seen by the transport/DAC. I believe the software is only encapsulating the data into the DVD-A binary image. My current PC music streamer, a ...

Hello Romy, thanks for your guide.I've been thinking and I feel that some basic upper bass channel ideas are forming; they a result of, as you say ,"organic" derivation from the rest of my acoustic system. I am pretty excited about this idea i have. ...

[quote user="rafaroxlm"]As you may know the 7788 is a high transconductance pentode which should in theory be able to give higher audio resolution than say 12AX7, 6072 tubes in tube mic pre designs. On search here the 7788 was mention...

My observation about video data was in the context of 2D images. DVD or film has a succession of individually static frames or pixel rasters; it does not attempt to provide continuous 3D images. Those are vastly more difficult to produce and involve...

Good concern, I had and have it as well. I do not have an answer at this point. It should be stressed that my description of artifact was just my specific description of THE artifact, the MF texture music had also a “face lift” - I just d...

Among many idiotic audio publications the Positive-Feedback strikes me as less idiotic – once in 2-3 issues they do have a good article. I still find it idiotic, as any product -centric audio publication might be but the people who run the game i...
