[quote user="drdna"] The very fact that if you are close enough to the array that the integration fails, thus it proves the issue exists. [/quote]
Hmmmm, the issue exists, yes it does; but I would like to point out that it is necessary to recognize ...

[quote user="drdna"]I am sadly missing the living presence in my system, and I thought from your description, that the Melquiades might be a solution [/quote]
I think this requires me to raise my voice as I feel that this presumption is very common ...
|
|
[quote user="drdna"]I was really shocked when I saw this idea of yours. It is a trade off of course with improved control over narrower frequncy bands being traded for axial symmetry. Yet because the position of the drivers is so very imp...

[quote user="drdna"] I agree it is a mistake to get hung up on imaging as an end in itself, but it is a artifact of the process, and I am not going to say it is not related to making the correct connection. To have proper imaging is like saying: ther...

[quote user="drdna"] I also use the 6SN7-2A3 DHT for my system (except subwoofer). Did you use the Electrocubes for the coupling capacitors? Was the internal wiring regular copper?
The coupling capacitor is critical, of course.
Also, I will say t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eli, I as any other person on consumer side, do sympathize
with how you feel. I would like however to point out that this site is not the
best door for you to knock. Audiogon for instance (and many others) specialize
to ...

[quote user="drdna"]Well, it gave me a chuckle. I will be interested to hear about the listening results, considering I have just bought a PP2000, which should be here in a few days. Will I have to buy a Avicenna now also? Adrian[/quote]
Adrian, I d...

[quote user="drdna"] It is NOT that better tubes have no vibration. Instead, the tubes that sound best to me seem to have a sort of springy sound, like the sound of a water drop or the sound of the tabla drum being struck. [/quote]
Interesting. My f...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Drdna, generally I would not agree that your assessment of the EdgarHorns is correct. There is nothing fundamentally wrong in them that would prevent them to "disappear" in the room. [/quote]Well, this is good news.&nbs...

[quote user="drdna"]I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may ...

[quote user="drdna"]
The VERY INTERESTING idea is that the introduction of noise as a dithering element for the analog signal (for our brain to decode) can be helpful in increasing the retrieval of information vital to conveying the Sound. Perhaps ...

[quote user="drdna"]
I chose this for a sound most free from "graininess" which may change with PP2000. However, what is the rationale to change the impedence loading on the tube, from your perspective? As you know the Magnequest OPT has taps for 4,...
|
|
[quote user="drdna"] I think this 2A3 must have a specific set-up to sound its best. You have not found it yet. To begin with and familiarize yourself with the sound of it, I suggest sticking with the topology that has been tested by amplifier design...

[quote user="drdna"] However, my comment was just intended to correct the error when the APS representative said there was no difference in audio system performance between battery and wall power. THERE ABSOLUTELY IS, but it will not be a major d...

drdna,
The subject of room reflections is kind of completed topic but form what you described I do not think that your problems are there but rather in some kind of bug of your system that you will discover soon. Meanwhile, I would disregard any ro...

When younger I would ask them how t...

[quote user="drdna"]I sent Mr Chow an e-mail, but have received no reply yet. However, the interesting thing is that tonight the music on the local classical channel was fantastic. Maybe the electricity was particularly good today? I think I am still...

[quote user="drdna"] Actually, I believe they can be tailor made to your exact specifications, which at that price they should be.[/quote]
It is not a thread about cup but I still….
This is always an interesting question to me – where is the thres...

[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...

[quote user="drdna"]I would like to hear the opinions from people who have heard good point source/single driver installations (ignoring the shortcomings). What does the point source add to the audio reproduction?
Adrian[/quote]
Adrian,

[quote user="drdna"]Firstly I do very much agree with the fundamental idea of the seven levels of audio perception, but my view on them is slightly different.
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also, it is not up to the listener to select the depth of the...

[quote user="drdna"]For some reason your description made me immediately think of Alfred Schnittke's Gogol Suite. What do you think?[/quote]
The Gogol Suite is very different Music. The Suite has that scorny spiral development where the second shoe ...
|

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="drdna"]However, there is no comparison to the expensive tubes from Kron, Sophia, and Emission Labs. These are all in a separate category. These produce a very different sound. It is like this: on the old black ...
|
|
[quote user="drdna"]I guess you mean the "Arabian" power regenerator you have been working on with Dima? Well, I will wait to hear the results enthusiastically. If it works, I want one too!
The idea of analog dithering opens up a whole new world ...

[quote user="drdna"]In my mind, there are at least three possibilities, and they must be interpreted by experiment with caution:
1. irregular fluctuations in signal (I will call this "noise") result in irregularities in output signal we listen to a...

[quote user="drdna"]I think it has already been stated. Batteries in audio are inherently of limited utility. It is a tendency of audiophiles to dedicate themselves to a single "silver bullet" instead of building the system based on the particular ne...

[quote user="drdna"]
Romy, don't be silly. You are trying to tell me you cannot hear vertical position? You cannot tell if the cat meows, if it is on the ground or the ceiling. Of course you can; do not be ridiculous.

[quote user="drdna"] To me, there are three types of problems:
1a) grime piled on top of a record1b) defective vinyl piled on top of a record2) scratches cutting into the vinyl
Type 1 deflects the needle upward and Type 2 deflects the needl...
