In this month's Stereophile (February, 2015; Vol. 38, #2), M. Fremer expresses his appreciation for the PHTs. Add to this the fact that they are sold with a money-back guarantee and there is no reason to put off this purchase any longer!

Well, de Charlus, it's one thing to pay the going rate for excellence if one can afford it. It is another thing entirely to simply jump on a bandwagon (or corner the bandwagon market) because one can afford it. Wine or audio (or bespoke shoes, for t...

Hey, I'm not trying to convince anybody either. I’m just trying to help you in making the right decision - call me silly for doing so,( and yes I know, what is right for me might be not right for you, and I realize that, do I really have to be carefu...

It would be much easier to name some useful reviews instead to rant about written BS which became standard today. In future we will get a new "Rating" System.Not for components, no, it is for Reviewers.For example:Complete-Master-BS-Class: Jonathan V...

Yesterday I was more-or-less randomly reading Stereophile, skimming, in case something interesting to me appears, and Mr. Fremer in his Ortofon Verismo cartridge report told that top Ortofon cartridges use "6 nines" copper wire that has been gold pla...

Beside the fact that Mr Fremer doesn't know or understand the difference between jealousy and envy I'm afraid he doesn't gather and express his thoughts terribly well either. Indeed he seems to be a "little dipshit who can't write and is barel...

Romy,i just wanted to chime in by saying that i stopped subscribing to TAS years ago because i couldn't endure Fremer, who then wrote for them. i simply couldn't stand his tone, his journalistic "persona", and the fact that he appeared to listen to n...

I suspect Mr. Fremer is not all that well respected here, but I found his article on using a USB microscope to adjust VTA/SRA very helpful. I was never able to set VTA by ear. http://www.analogplanet.com/content/how-use-usb-digital-microscope-set-9...

This just in from May Stereophile: The first part of Fremer's roll-out of Wilson's new-ish Alexx tells us the economic reasons for this speaker's existence. Then there is naming of names of those involved in it's implementation. Then there is tech...

[quote user="Paul S"] Fremer has just pitched these in the new Stereophile, and the online buzz is building . Isn't D'Agostino the Krell guy? If these are different than the Krell amps, then how and why ? Disclosure: I quickly dismissed the Krell...

I have never liked power conditioners. They change the sound, but not necessarily for the better, much like playing around with the tint and contrast knobs on the TV.
So I was intrigued after hearing the glowing praise by Romy, who never gives out...

[quote user="Paul S"] I think you mostly get where I'm coming from and you just don't like it, and your criticism is smart, and your points are well taken; but there are a few things going on here that just bug me that you either seem oddly comfo...

[quote user="markus46"]I don't believe that making fun at other people's expense adds value to a point of view. Certainly not the foul language and vicious name-calling employed by Romy.[/quote]Well, I think it is just his style. He calls...

Mark, you certainly have a point – if you used the techniques above did get sonic benefit then that all that shall count. Well, sort of. You see VTA is no more than the angle under which the needle hit the record and for all intended purpose it is no...

[quote user="Paul S"]Adrian, your point is perhaps better taken with respect to new/newer LPs. I was referring to the better old LPs that are only found on the re-sale market. I reckon there should be lots more good classical LPs at used record sto...

I was sorry to read the humorless vitriolic response by Michael Fremer, whose prose I had enjoyed years back. But he is such an easy target, well-remembered for such angry responses in the past.His response is reflective of the change on the de...

Hi Romy, Here is my dilemma. I like the SU1tremendously. Don't laugh....I had it hooked up to aRotel Michi RHQ-10 and the combo is sounds amazingwith my cartridges. I recently was feeling itchy and bought a Pass XONO.The Pass XONO cannot touch the so...

Certainly it took Technics a while to sort out the motor control systems in their serious DD machines. The earlier SP10 Mk1 is not a good example. On the Mk2 they seem to have got it right. Even with that there are other issues like the mat & pli...

Well the idea doesn't actually come from Fremer. He credits Wally Malewicz for it. Not sure how you feel about him.In any case for me it was helpful because I just don't have the patience to play a track over and over trying to find the best se...

Hmmm. I need to admit that I did not read the article above and I did not familiar myself with the author’s reasons as I stubbornly consider Fremer to be an idiot. However, purely hypothetically thinking on the subject I wonder why the presence of mi...

Obviously, the header is just for Romy!Well, it took a while, but with development help and official intro by Michael Fremer, the new OMA DD TT is finally here!https://oswaldsmillaudio.com/k3Featuring the Best of Everything, including a bespoke Schro...

So after a month I continue to enjoy what the inverter does.I have found that the time one gets from 400 Ahs with the inverter's meter showing 640 watts usage is about 1.5 hours - you could get two if you let the batteries run down further but I figu...

Well, I do not know what it would mean. Regardless his “constitutional status” Row’s article is much more informative and much more educational for people who have interest in the MAXXes then the brainless saliva dropping that many industry cheerlead...

Romy,I have several power amplifiers each of which sounds different. I might enjoy some aspects of what one of them does but feel that it could do other things better. Another of the amplifiers might have different strengths and weaknesses. None of t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not know that Lynn Olson and Earl Geddes involved in Levinson’s operation. With all disagreement with those individuals I thought that they are smarter than to deal with Mark Levinson. I hope they did not give him an...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Fuck the Fremer and anathema to each single audio product he touches. Sometime those whore do play the primitive publicity games in order to send a message of “own integrity”. That all BS and I do not even want to talk abo...

[quote user="steverino"]I agree that the published curves don't look bizarre for a box speaker. [/quote] Hmmm, I would like to note that my reference to "given topology" did not imply the "box speaker". Even a multichannel box speaker might have opt...

I do not want to dive seriously into discussion about Continuum turntable. I have not reasons or interest, not to mention that this thread is not about the Continuum turntable but rather about the primitivism and idiocy of the “gantseh makher” Fremer...
