A few days back I visited a local audio guy and had a couple hours listening session with him. It was immensely pleasurable it only because very good sound that his playback demonstrated but also by the fact that he had comfortable listening chairs. ...

Actually I would be very much disappointed if we develop a relationship that would require sending signals that would make us to leave each other f. alone. I could perfectly comfortable in this setting with recursive girlfriends but I do not feel tha...

Along with last remodeling that we performed in Opera Room the room is becoming more the most pleasant room in our house. In fact we spend now more time then in listening room. We eat there, we watch films there. Sometime we watch TV there. I sleep t...

We have made a decision that we do go for the hardwood floors in listening room. We end up with unfinished quarter sawn red oak with Vermister" waterbase urethane. We will try to render the project in September.
This will imply to remove the w...

It is interesting development going on in my listening room. Amy the Kitten is making her hands dirty to convert our man-cave nerdy house into something that we as a family would enjoy. With all horror that this move would inflict in the heart of...

It is so funny how the things are turning up. Amy brought her grandma’s piano that was not user for good 40 years. After we set it up and tune we concluded that the piano is not good. We concluded that we do discard the sentimental value and will not...

Amy the Kitten is amazing. Next week, on Feb 12 we have our anniversary. Amy informed me that I need to have the rest of the week after 12 off and that she booked a secret anniversary trip for us. I was guessing what it might be and a Vermont sky res...

Guy, thanks. We are sitting now in backward, resting after heavy landscaping project. The project consisted of Amy picking up some weeds for 5 minutes and then I hit my leg with 35” wood spiting ox. After all she resuscitated me and we firmly concede...

Last night I put wify in listening chair, insisted her do not slide in the couch into her typical "monkey on a tree" pose and asked her to listen some sound. I put the slow opening of Merlitons dance from Nutcracker and played to her a few times,...

I always said that appearance of listening room has own harmony and in many cases just a look at a listening room gives you an internal image about the music you associated with the room’s feel. My own listening room has different feeling at day and ...

I was not suicidal and was not truly upset but I did feel that I very much might lose something and never recover it. As we hook up with Kitty she was Dana-Farber physician and was moving to work to a regional hospital in south New Hampshire. Natura...

It made me to think. Another day I went to a concert that was very bad in my view. The semi-amateur orchestra spent a lot of efforts to play with fewer mistakes and as they more or less did. As the mistakes were filtered then the primitivism of gener...

Attended today Bruckner 4 with Oslo Philarmonic under Petrenko. Petrenko for sure looks great but in Tchikovsky kind of level, to conduct Brucker it is a bit too early for him. Amy said that everyone need to start sometimes, perhaps she is right but ...

It has been a little wild trip from Portsmouth NH (our second home) to Montreal. The weather was wonderful and the drive was surprisingly easy. The trip in the way reminds me my audio trips from the past, with talks and thinking about audio here ...

Interesting question. A few biased observations:
- After months of listening to your system has she autonomously developed an interest in learning more about it? - Are you interested in learning to play an instrument? If so, would you like Amy to t...

Romy,would it not make sense to PROVE that moving the speakers forward really works BEFORE worrying about the rug? If the real reason for what you are not getting is a floor resonance or reflection due to the rug or even having slightly less room vol...

Just to show we were paying attention and NOT digressing OT:Perhaps, then, Romy should take on the role of Amy's audio sommelier? Sure, Amy knows music; but Romy knows music via hi-fi. He can cater to her tastes in a way that surprises and delights ...

To me there is absolutely nothing as high as the last 1-2 inch of Cohiba. I do not do any drugs, hardly ever drink but the last inch of Cohiba thrown me absolutely off cliff and I for a good 10-15 minutes drifting somewhere between “here” and “there”...

Romy:I hope you and Amy are snug amid the storm and have good electricity (well, any electricity in a big blizzard is good electricity, I guess.) What music do you find appropriate to the weather this weekend? There should be something suitable in ...

Those who publicly hate you the most will line up to buy the house the same way they buy Lamm amps with plastic speaker postsand Vitavox drivers , don't forget to leave the antenna mast and as many artifacts as you can ,down to Koshka poop, heheheMa...

Congratulations, Romy, and Long and Happy Life Together, Romy and Amy!Although my wife and I have been married for over 44 years, and she is a good travel companion, still I could hold her head under water as easily as I could ply her with Bruckner v...

First of all congratulations, I am very happy for you and Amy! I think hard wood floors is a good idea, acoustically you will find a way to deal with sound.If you put the Melqualdes in the basement you can put a smoke detector very close and maybe ...

Hi Romy Thanks for your reply.I am in the market for either a new pre-amp or phono and line stage.I know they need around 47k for optimal loading, but what else might I be concerned with.Did you have a look on Agon ...

Over a number of years I come across a number versions of Van den Hul’s write up. It is very mildly controversial (very mildly) but still it is a wonderful read for amy analog user. http://www.goodsoundclub.com/pdf/Phono_FAQ.pdf ...

[quote user="noviygera"]I think most people, as audience find fascination in unusually capable performance of the performers, as in a live music event. So if there is no performer there is nothing to give homage to, really. Other than good reproducti...

Amy and I got today email from a local audio guy with the subject “Romy, a couple years back”. It had just one image attached....

No doubt, then, you've also enjoyed the celebrated ancient Champagnes that the rest of us have only heard about?It's on my bucket list...And now I'm starting to think, Romy and Amy should just head straight for Dijon, maybe catch some chamber music o...

Glad to hear you had a great time and agree with the previous post, it is good to get a glimpse of Amy.Hope the trip home is uneventful.Take care,...

A week it trashing audio.
I finished with my client with wish I worked for a while, the contract with a new client kicks in 2 weeks and this week I do not work. Well sort of. This week is a big project on my aim – to reconcile the value of my...

[quote user="steverino"]Well, the circle is unbroken. Romy started his audio journey in a basement somewhere tinkering with this and that. He rose for a time into the light and now has descended once more. However this time it is called the Bunker. W...
