Sounds like he needs someone to build him a decent cabinet....

Yep, the Toscanini performance was a big surprise to me as well. Interestingly he does not play it as I would like Buckner generally, it is too “artistically expressive”, good only for Rimsky-Korsakov or Ravel but… still the way how Toscanini’s orche...

What your little G.I.P Laboratry does is absolutely irrelevant. They feed already pre-buttered customers and their moves are not important. Shindo and Cogent do the electromagnets for years but they doe little events with no influence. In high-audio ...

who is selling amp based on $20 IC Circuit for $2.5k wchich was called in some circles "a rip-off" ???? I think that above speakers represent exactly the same pricing structure like your products. (If you're not that guy though I'm soo sorry;)...

[quote user="yoshi"]I don't know much about the US situation, but here's some realistic estimate to maintain such business in Tokyo. Of course it depends very much on the size and location of the space, but let's assume it's in downtown Tokyo (I...

Is Yoshi's box ported or sealed? If it's ported.. of course he's going to be listening to more.. a lot more.. of the box... everything below.. 60hz? is box music.if it's not ported then this is a more interesting discussion. when I first read romy's ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I keep bugging Yoshi, he is in Japan now, to bring me a set of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 by Takashi Asahina with Tokyo SO from 90s it should be very interesting… The damn Japanese have quite a price tag on the Asahina’s Buckner…&...

Unfortunately, we also have the lists of "Audiophile recommended CDs" on every audio related publications in Japan. I refer to them as something I should avoid.Yoshi...

Bud, you sure make a case for your process, all right. And the problems I have noted grew through the hot afternoon, eg, the power was certainly AFU.Of course I am curious, and your very intelligent discourse about hypnotizes me.At this po...

beside the title, "Apeal to the Great Spirit", the stature itself reminds me of Sibelius 5th.[/quote]Yoshi, is any specific performance or specific vintage of the Sibelius 5th brought you to this realization?...

Lack of "intention" and lack of "the recognition of actual results"? I don't know where this is heading either. I'll sleep on it.Yoshi...

[quote user="yoshi"]I do admitt that I have a tendancy to be attracted monochromic works in general, rather than colorful extarvaganza, both in music and visual. The colors, even strong colors, when balanced and co-ordinated under a specific int...

[quote user="yoshi"] This is how I took Jonathan's post. He (Janathan) is mocking you (Romy) by presenting a hypothetical situation assuming your ego would be hurt in that situation and get pissed the same way some audio people react hysterical...

I spoke this morning with Yoshi and he made a phenomenal comment. He was complaining something about his bass. He uses a pair of big 15’ JBL in a box with an active second order crossover. So, when I asked him to describe what he feels is wrong Yoshi...

[quote user="yoshi"]Well, my wording may not be right. What I meant by "integrity of harmonics" is more like "integrity of space where harmonics are presented", which I do not hear in CD/LPs.[/quote]
What "live" analog FM does with space is ab...

[quote user="yoshi"] Last night, I got an oppotunity to hear what Romy's been screaming about the quality of FM broadcast. Yes, it is in an "insulting" level. The biggest surprise was the harmonic integrity live-broadcasts presents us.&nb...
|

Yeah, it was really surprising. The music from your FM was very, very natural and organic (I'm not saying other mediums sounded bad, it was great, but there was more ease and naturalness with FM). Is FM noise working as some kind of dithe...

This is where I lose you, or rather, lose myself. I can see my inner self reacting to a given performance be it live or a reproduction, but as you say, it can happen with a table radio or a car stereo too. I can't seem to find a bridge be...

Respect, Yoshi. I'll follow your further adventures with interest.I visit this site in the hope to learn, too. With regard to horns (and audio in general), I have much to learn indeed and Romy and other posters here are obviously ahead of me on the l...

The box is about 5 cu/ft apperiodic with 3 x Scan Speak vent on the rear panel. Damped with cotton blanket (filling 60% of inside) and braced rather well. The driver is JBL 2220 crossed at 80Hz with 12db slope. All other channels ar...

That's really a great story, Romy. I'd love to see his face then.I have an opposit one, also from Midori's book. One day, Mravinsky's wife put on an LP of Stravinsky's "Apollon Musagete". Mravinsky screamed, "Oh, my god! ...

I've been following the thread with interest. I just checked Japanese HMV and Amazon. Anton Nanut search in HMV brings no result. Zilch! The name is not even included in their very comprehensive conductor search. There's...

YoshiIt should not be a problem for you to borrow one of those plastic 150-200 Hz horns for your REPS .For restricted band as you're using it , it may sound interesting. I can imagine that other owners/users of Reps would be horryfied by the way you'...

I don't know what tinnitus is, but got a similar problem also on my left ear. Sometimes it appears as ringing to certain frequency, sometimes it appears as a piercing distortion (like beaming). First, I thought my ears got very sensi...

I was telling about Lamm new SET and it highly likely that it was on display only. If Lamm desired to play it then it would be incredibly foolish from my point view and I do not think Vladimir would do this mistake. Anyhow, Yoshi, really, jokes aside...

Although I do not think the price of 47 gears I distribute and Loiminchay are structured the same way, I should not have joked about it, especially considering all the accusations I received in the past years. Still, if you'd like to talk ...

Thanks for the great "outre" description, Yoshi; about as I had supposed from Romy's posts to date, actually, but just such a simple and understandable description and picture.So is this the original "Big 'Un" or the latest "Wedge", which we hav...

Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts on my situation. The box is about 22" x 18" x 12", 3/4 thick plywood, internally braced with 2 by 4. Pretty much no damping except 2" thick acoustic form covering the rear panel which has 3" s...
