I do not believe in applied presbyacusis. It is not that I do understand the subject of loosing spectral sensitively with age but I certainly do not feel that deterioration of HF sensitivity makes a person more or less capable to register music. We ...

I think 15 years back I was speaking with a famous industry person who told that the responsibility of an individual who run an audio publication is to match the stupidity of audio product to the stupidity of reviewer. he said that if manufacture ma...

[quote user="haralanov"] The ribbon is 100% tonally … If you use this tweeter lower than 10kHz your system will be totally unlistenable because you cannot reproduce the proper tone of harmonics.[/quote] It is pretty much what I found as well during m...

Whoever follows this thread of mine note my exuberant reaction to the new fixed PP2000. What however I discover today is that for the last few days, right after the snow storm, the quality of electricity in my lines is phenomenal as well. I have abso...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]this is just a piece of fabric covering a fiberglass pipe. The fiberglass pipes everyone buy from the same Knauf factory and it costs virtually nothing. The piece of fabric starch above it is also cost a few dollars, so why...

Zanon, My playback is nowhere near the state where I might think about the DPoLS, I am trying to set up a very rudimental basic balanced sound in the new room, approximately defining where would be the speakers, what they will be doing and how they w...

There are a few moments I am working with now. One is the notorious “viola dryness” – the concept that I am staggering for years. Another thing is that my room each some dynamics of my Macondo – something that my old room did not do. OK it is given t...

OK, I agree – it might be not necessary as PP2000 does produce fine electricity in a convenient package. Furthermore it violates the rule that I try to follow in audio generally: define snick objective and ONLY then render audio methods.

The noise that PP generated in my case during the first minutes of charging a completely discharged battery was nothing close to “buzzing” or “buzzing saw wave oscillation”. It more sound like a very strong stream of water rushing out nozzle. It is m...

Well, since I will not experiment with many of them I'm kind of narrowing down the scope of the amps that I would like to get. In 70s-80s break there was a short period of time when Yamaha and Sony made top of the line amps around V-FET output t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]A could years ago here and there begun to pop up small SS class “D” amplifiers made with high-end pretence. They all sounded like shit but by the efforts of a number of typically deaf and stupid or just simply whorish audio...

Well, one way or another I will fix my B2 amp. I think while I have no bass amp it would be a good idea to try other amps for ULF: powerful tube amps or even class D amps. I do not have inspiration to dry Class D amps and I have no powerful tube amp...

N-set, at this point I am under impression (not conviction however) that a hybrid with some kind of harmonic correction circuit can do the job but spend much less blood. I have to admit that the best hybrids that I head had (Lamm M1.1) no where remot...

[quote user="drdna"] BUT, I think it is more exactly what you say that the midrange horn is round and the lower midrange horn is rectangular. They sound different and it is more easy for me to hear the presence of the rectangular horn. [/quote]...

I have in my basement a room that I do not use and I am in process of building Finnish cedar sauna in there. The pre-sauna room will have a fireplace, shower, rest facility and the rest ordinary sauna suspects. While I am constructing the frame and w...

Well, Daren,there is a huge difference between the 1.200 sq feet and 12.000 sq feet. The 1.200 sq feet is a good size room the 12.000 sq feet is good size concert hall for a couple thousand people…. So we are back to a sane listening room…. :-)Intere...

I don´t know whether the audio industry`s products are so sophisticatet that they need mathematical steam hammers to improve them. In a German forum there is a discussion about a diploma work from the TU Berlin where the student found out in psychoac...

[quote user="Paul S"] I have stated several times that the ML2s are less sensitive to bad electricity than my phono stage, and this is true. However, this is not to say that the amps are immune to bad electricity. In fact, it is the effects of bad el...

[quote user="Paul S"]What a relief! No matter how many times it happens, at some point I always wind up adjusting my system to compensate for bad electricity! [/quote] I would concur with it – sine the temperature dropped last week here in Boston the...

I have heard that here and there an advertising of new 12AX7 production.http://www.musicdirect.com/product/73403I wonder if it is the truly new production of some kind of new manufacturer (like Emission Labs or similar) or juts rebranded and repainte...

Thanks, John. We all adults and we all know how much difference between Realty and what we see on TV, particularly if we have done TV for living. As I told Sakuma might be is more interesting then the cult that I feel purely artificially is made abou...

I’m very far from being able to express any more or less valuable opinion on the subject however, what I understand that they/you are taking about small signal-level devised. Whatever it worth, I feel that pure SS can care line-level tasks perfectly ...

It is very interesting as my new Schaub & Lorenz radio is a phenomenal illustration of bad sound. It has “large” and “full sound” with very impressive “bass size” but sat the same time this sound is absolutely dead. In fact audio people might lea...

We did not have it in FM, it was a TV feed. I did not listen the Magnus Lindberg overture and I did not particularly care about the "Symphonie Fantastique". I was interested in the Messiaen’s songs with Renée Fleming and it was what I was watching a...

I have to say, that I genially like the new 99.5. I do not have as perfect reception as I had with 97.9 with absolutely clear, no noise background. Still, thankfully the compression of the new 99.5 is very low and last night and today live broadcasts...

At the 7-level perceptual paradigm was operating not Sakuma by Cho-sun for Micro-Seiki. Sakuma was not operating in my view at any level but just listed highly band-passed, highly compressed gray sound. Nl, feels that “Systems like these are all abou...
