[quote user="drdna"]From my own experience, every change that has stayed permanently in my system, at first seems soft and sort of boring. I am inside always a little disappointed when I first hear these changes, because they seems so neutral and une...

So far it appears that one needn't look to the TAP for any sort of sonic help. I have been breaking my own "one change at a time" rule by futzing with a new (K&K) phono stage as well as the CD/bypass stuff, and everything I do to/with ...

Loudspeakers. For whomever who follows my dairies on this site and whoever has any real understanding what makes a horn-loaded loudspeaker to sound good it is know that Macondo Acoustic System is not juts the result of my DIY efforts or the John Hasq...

Hello Romy,I should have made myself more clear about the paragraph you quoted. Typical situations:a. The arm is installed on a deck that accomodates more than one arm. The listener, if lucky, has two(for all intents and purposes) identical cartridge...

After finishing my left 6-chennal Melquiades and putting amps and Macondo back as it was intended to be I was expecting that it should be “better” but I did not expect HOW MUCH better it might be. Many aspects of sound are more interesting now,...

Markus, you have hit on something that has been debated in hi-fi circles for several decades, namely the endless teeter-tottering between "accuracy" and "musicality". Of course it is not lost on many that The Goal is necessarily "Both", but the...

Dear Romy,I do not know who uses the PowerStation75 so I cannot say whether it is helpful. I use the Powerware 5115 UPS boxes for managing the mains power supply [details on www.nps.com.au under Products and Line Interactive UPS (Corporate...

If the setup is semi acceptable, after ten years one should lose the evaluation part of listening experience and treat the system like a kitchen radio or car playback and simply enjoy the music. I think ten years is a minimum to achieve the position ...

[quote user="Hugh"]The best advice I can give to those willing to seek out the location is to put away your calculators and measuring tapes. Also, I'm convinced this ideal location tends to float around a little over time requiring slight speak...

Thank you Romy,

Well... tis for all reading/following this thread. As Romy pointed out, having high gain is not the same as power. And as Adrian hinted at... the overall system paradigm is important. If you're only barely cracking the volume control on yo...

[quote user="Stitch"]Sometimes we have luck when we listen to a System and we can have the illusion of - more or less - pure music realism, but the majority of Systems are sophisticated hi-fi.Well, but let's be honest, can it be so difficult to creat...

Adrian, I have alternately revelled in and anguished over this for some time now, the lynch pin for me being the electricity. Yes, I can generally hear any change I make to the system, but it is consistently the quality of the electricity that ...

The problem of most solutions in high end audio is "one step forward, two steps back". Personally I prefer to hear all information/dynamics of sound even if the sound is out of control.when I use Isolation Transformer, AC filters (both parallel and ...

That was very interesting post, here are some thoughts of my about it.
