Here is a VERY interesting paper http://www.anstendig.org/Stereo.htmlSTEREO: A MISUNDERSTANDINGTHE THEORY, SOUND-SYSTEMS, AND PROBLEMS OF HEARINGThere is a common misconception that the addition of stereophonic sound-reproduction was the necessary, c...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I'm sure there are many bad implementations of the 845 and 211. Almost all of the commercially available ones are pretty mediocre. However I have heard good examples of both so I know it can be done. [/quote]
Actually I d...

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 concerned about the “whole ...

Aura made their 1808 driver in 80s and most of the 90s and it was wonderful. It had huge high-temperature neodymium magnet, unique magnet geometry with underhung 4" edgewound aluminum voice coil. It was the only 18-inch...

Amperidian,
Those “evens” that you experienced I your cars are well known to me - the auto sound is very different subject though and I would not mix in into FM thread... The phenomena of car sound has nothing to do with FM in particular, you might...

I have been thinking recently about the subject of my playback’s sound vs. Live sound and I have to tell you that those thoughts are much more complicated than one might expect. Under normal circumstances it would be foolishness to talk seriously abo...

[quote user="Paul S"] I heard back from Lamms about the relay pulses. They suggested I bias the amps again and then Lamms went silent when that didn't work. But the problem disappeared when I got around to replacing the 12AX7s that came w...

Moreart, believe me or not, but I perfectly understand your constructions – they are nothing more than a simple reflection of your own way of thinking about audio and sound - just a pile of glued wooden panels without any audio based motivation behin...

I see, it looks like they come up with new RIFF64 format that has no 2G limitation. That is good. I never used RIFF64 but I used Sony W64. The W64 was available for a whole with Sound Forge and become available in WaveLab-6. He W64 format was th...

[quote user="drdna"]Experimenting with the new 2A3 tubes has been a very interesting experience. It has given me insight into more specifically exactly what I am looking for in the stereo sounds, which I associate with the Sound.
The most we can as...

[quote user="Paul S"]While you are merely being empirical, there are actually plenty of devices that aim to "benefit" the end sound of SS gain by using tubes to "condition" the signal from DACs, etc. Also, there are plenty of commercial widgets ...

Yesterday I visited a local audio guy who bought new speakers and for all intended purposes new amplifiers: I wanted to see what Sound he got. I did not like his Sound I literally did not acknowledge the visit as any audio experience. Very few pe...

[quote user="kodomo"]I heard the same not just from one but from a few guys for my playback as well! I think it is because of the all encompassing effect and the strength of the stereo image. Most people have never heard that strong of a phantom cent...

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...

Sonic Studios 'soundblade ' is the most transparent software I have 'heard' Wavelab is also very good and much cheaper. If you use Macs you might try Sonic's 'Amarra'it is the first of a plethora of similarly based players, improves on standard itune...

Thanks Joaco feedback is important all one can do is to research and find the best unit for ones budget. It is very difficult to do comparisons so this is where sites such as this are useful. Im going to try and find a dealer who can let me try the W...

Paul, it has nothing to do with noise reduction devices. It has also very little to do with the media on which the recording took place – would it be LF, tape or digital file. Audio it is about expression of musical spirituality through the semi-barb...

Years ago I did not like the sound of then-new metal diaphragm drivers, and I also found plenty to dislike about "horn sound" from various drivers in various horns. Over time I heard other drivers that used similar-but-not-the-same topologies, perhap...

[quote user="drdna"] but let's not forget that we should never equate equipment prices with sound quality. [/quote]Absolutely disagree. This believe is the most ridicules accomplished that audio propaganda implanted inept the brains of audio people. ...

Yes, it's true.The original pressing is always the best. There has never been an audiophile version that is an improvement to the Sound. They may have a quieter surface, fewer scratches, pops, and less overall noise, in fact the sounds may be better...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also do not forget that the phonostage that you built has very lash and very polite sound. [/quote]I would like to stress the politeness and lushness of 834PT-AIR phonocorrector. This characteristic of this phonostage s...
