Twogoodears, occasionally posting at this site also have mentioned it in his blog: http://twogoodears.blogspot.com/2009/04/wjaas-cartridges-survey-part-4-mr-ks.htmlbut I do not know what the Twogoodears reference points ...

Axel:One wonders how much one must pay to get it right from the start...Actually, the "sagging" cantilever is not peculiar to the Jubilee or the Windfeld, but it has been a long-standing problem for Ortofon on a number of their more expensive cartrid...

Of course - as ever - the cited discussion has nothing to do with the arm...and - as ever - the price is no indicator of its performance capabilities...Stitch, do you know if the vertical "leaf" bearing is on the plane of the arm tube, as it seems to...

Romy, I am hardly familiar with Bruckner. The local SO never plays it and, honestly, they are not really equipped to do it; and this was mostly the case when I lived in LA, also. And because my hi-fi systems could never do it, I do not even have a g...

It is interesting that any conversation about a specific technology in TT instantly get converted into conversation about brands. We were talking about idler roles and then we get embraced into thinking of Garrard vs. EMT. Perhaps it needs to be...

Romy, I'm not sure what you are saying.I notice "qualities" of "silence" especially in content-loaded music, and most especially during well done live concert recordings. Here, the "silence" is part of the score as rendered, and it is part...

Rony, you do not specifically say that you use horns to reproduce violins, but if you do then you have your work cut out for you. Moving upstream, massed violins are T-O-U-G-H to get right, under any circumstances. Very few front ends make good on ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]The load lines are horrible. I can't imagine it gives a very accurate representation of what is fed into it. Maybe that's not what you are after.[/quote]It is not that I completely agree (or completely understand) the Eduar...

[quote user="dazzdax"]Hi Roman, FM Acoustics amplifiers from Switserland have been regarded by many audiophiles (mostly the ones with lots of money) as the best sounding (solid state) amps regardless of price. They even bettered the best amps from Kr...

If you followed, a few days ago in the conversation with “Michaelz” I was spinning my usual plot, bitching that most of the today’s pianists play, unintelligent as senseless, almost like with the "rubber fingers”:

Hi all, Just joined the cat house... funny seeing the mention of some old stomping grounds here... like Bendix in Red Bank, NJ... they were one of my accounts back in the late 70's. As some of you may know, the U.S. Army's electronics center was...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]As to the best transformers souding more transparent than the best resistors, I'll believe it when I (don't?) hear it. You claim to have heard this but I most certainly haven't. [/quote] Well, the claim is no...

In reference to the two (or three) prototypes, the base design contains one (1) driver, a second proposal to the base design uses two (2) drivers (using almost the same exact enclosure--an increase of volume/area in the chamber containing the two [2]...

This is very interesting subject. As many times I went to live concerts with somebody I never remember that a person was listening problem. There were people who underdressed or over-dress, the people who over-used perfume, the damp people who read ...

Why use the GM70 apart from its power potential? For one thing, it seems to require literally lethal voltages to become remotely listenable. Is it really "that" linear, to insist on it?But my experience with GM70 is quite imited. I ...

Wojtek, I am indeed hemmed in by the fricking electricity these days, to the extent that it is about impossible to hold on to a baseline for reference. And the Lowthers only make the problem more apparent.Yes, I still wonder about how I wo...

Following the recent thread about the Prokoviev’s “Hale to Stalin” I would like to pitch to the choral music lovers one more name. Russian Orthodox liturgy mostly sucks. There was a dozen of Russkis composers who composed Russian chants: Totov, Grech...

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 with the amps.&nbs...

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="skushino"]So next week I will broaden my playback experience by adding my new 90wpc PP mastadon, and Romy's approved Lamm ML-2, in addition to my current DRD-300B amps. And as a personal favor to the readers at ...

I was listrening to Hoenniger/Bach Suites yesterday and I don't know which exact instrument he plays for these 1973 German Telefunken recordings (stereo LPs), but that damn cello of his was just ripping the room to shreds, with its bass notes as powe...

[quote user="HDTT"]I beg to differ with Romys assesment of my signature sound, one thing I found out is people are very,very different in what they like and dislike. An example is a "quote" reviewer (which will remain nameless) did not like my Stravi...

OK, maybe it needs a bit more detail ,or say perspective as regards to this audio-cooking effort. NO QUESTION, we first have to look after the object before we joy-ride, or joye-feast, oh yes! I mentioned quality and caring somewhere just a short...

[quote user="Paul S"]I will still buy clean Seraphims with good program material if I do not have the original. If I do have the original, I pass on the Seraphim, even as a "back-up", UNLESS it is a record I have loved so much that I am killing it.M...

That is why what I refer to “transport” I refer to the very primary duty – to read an optical disk and the ability to create more advanced sound out of it. As a persons who am familiar with the best optical disk rea...

I haven't listened to the TU-X1, but I can swear that my TU-919 is a better source than my Bidat or my vinyl rig in terms of creating an atmosphere of music. Here we only have two decent stations, one for classical which from time to time broadc...

Is this another case where one must actually hear and be familiar with the product to comment?Zipping through some of the text, this guy sounds like the typical zealot with a good idea that has swollen up to eclipse his thinking in related areas...
