[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Why is it that the strings, especially the massed violins are so difficult. [/quote]This is a complex question. In the reproduction of massed of strings, particularly when they come along with woodwinds, involved so many v...

[quote user="coops"]I thought we were just discussing attenuation, regarding connectivity the Weiss sounds best via it's firewire input,just a bit sharper, I find everything is a little more clearly defined than AES /s/pdif.Keith.[/quote] Nope, we do...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The problem is that I detect that if I record in 44/24 or 88/24 in single-wire mode but the second wire is connected from Lynx to Pacific (and the line is muted by Lynx mixer) then I do have worsening of sound quality. The ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Form email I got from John Wright
“PS, In case you care, the Bidat gets better all the time with fresh updates ….I mean it will sound broken in comparison. I have made some very good changes to the power supply and ...

I need to say that for whatever reasons the midbass horns acts as a phenomenal tranquilizing sedative to listen some older recordings. The midbass horns make bad sound much more palatable and make attention to be much less distracted to quality of ...

Since my left channel along with midbass horn is more or less configured I made today a first rest of the full assembly - with LF section. The midbass does somewhere hear 40Hz and I set the LF section for 34Hz, drove it from B2 via the SMS crossover....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last night Levine and BSO played a phenomenal Mahler 5, truly great play. I had some issues with BSO sound and I probably will bring it up to them. Tonight I decided to listen the M5 broadcast for the first time and I ...

[quote user="serenechaos"] I think Romy's just jealous of all those conical horns, as endorsed by "he who shall not be named..." (sorry, to me, they're the distraction when looking @ this installation. I just keep thinking how colored every conical...

[quote user="Serge"] The sound I like most was the one at Audio Tekne's room. I never listened to them before. The speakers were very ugly. I'd say extremely ugly. And 4-way, drive units arranged as if by chance. The big ugly turntable cost 53000 eur...

Jim, It is the super tube – you forgot to mention the amount of noise with its transconductance…. You use the 7788 as a driver to drive 2A3? This is kind of strange: the 7788 has relatively low bias and a typical line voltage should sent 7788 deep in...

Today a guy I know from south coming to my listening room to hear my payback. He is mingling with horns, he heard my installation in city and he is very much interested to hear my new listening room and the most important my new midbass horn. He actu...

I know it is a difficult subject but as it has to do less with audio but more with life priorities. Still, the practice indicates that the short-wall installations for acoustic systems of the topology that Steve is trying to make will never work. Sur...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Otherwise I would buy Warren’s Ikonoklast speaker with Lowther DX-4 driver and will be discovering how to “proporly” appreciate the Decca cartridge[/quote]Ouch!Did you have to mention the Ikonoklast speakers? Of cours...

[quote user="drdna"]I think that the perception of the Onyx depends on the rest of one's stereo system and the other components one compares it to.When I say the Koetsu is one of the top cartridges in the world, I would say this about most modern aud...

Come on, Thomas, no one talks about the 75-85db of gain at MM level. However, the higher gain does has some things that I find is very useful and I find it is much worth to burn extra 15dB in prams then to have a preamp wide open and run photo at low...

My Koetsu Onyx has gone. I was packing my stuff and was wondering why do I need to keep my Koetsu Onyx? I do not like it and everyone keep telling me that it is a wonderful cartridge. After years of sitting in box I figured out that it would be a goo...

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...

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...

[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’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 ...

[quote user="tuga"] I am now more inclined to describe that sound as a portrait taken in broad daylight with some overpowering fill-in flash (I believe nowadays this technique is quite fashionable)... But the model wasn't wearing any makeup. [/quote]...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]About the new Micro TT, I do think that this is essentially the Micro 8000 with contemporary face lift and it shall sound like Micro 8000. It might be a little better or little worse, no one knows and frankly no one would/s...

I was waiting someone last night in “Borders” and whale I was waiting I glanced through the current “Absolute Sound Magazine”. There was there a very short article with Prof. Johnson telling about his “new” HRx format. I smell some dead fish in what ...

Yes, and particularly what enjoy with Patricia Barber (which is perfectly fine artist, BTW) that then when I go to the homes of an ordinary American audiophile then they have $90.000 worth of recommends Stereophile components and no more then entire ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Oh, David, come on! Can you for a second to stop to be a pretentious been counter and look at the picture from slightly more elevated perspective? I am glad that you do not worship the expensive parts, unique design, and pr...

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...

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...

The damn Milqs and everything else do a lot of hit and I have been running during the hot days a pair of small monitors with consumer-grade 100V A/B amplifier. The only requirement that I have that the 100V A/B is driver from my default preamp and I ...

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...
