It is frequent, particularly nowadays, that you found a digitally compressed recording that you can not source in no other format then the crappy mp3. So, do yourself a favor: do not make an attempt to play you muscly-wonderful but audio-shitty file ...

Well, rowuk, I still do not think that when you are talking about what you are taking about then you are talking about standing wave. The standing waves are nothing more than persistent room gain. I think when you are talking about what you are talki...

I have not found the PPs to completely isolate under many situations although they even out sonics across the day fairly well. The PP is far more steady when hooked into my small tubed bedroom system than the main system, the small TV HT system or th...

[quote user="NBC"]Hi Romy,Interesting direction. Sounds like minimalism (though not necessarily in the typical musical sense, e.g., John Cage).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinimalismNeilPS: Please excuse my being way under the 165 word 'minimum'.[/qu...

Only yesterday I started to get some interesting results after tuning the UK crossovers. But still not near to the sound I'm getting from my electrostatic headphone setup. I assume my Dannoy setup is quite compromised: one of the original crossov...

Interesting unit, especially relating to the headphone technique. Antonio, kindly let us know if the system can fool your Iberian ears (I think we all know the answer, but do entertain us)In general, I wish audio engineers spent their time and money...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] It is kind of suspiring that Mr. Katz was able to patent it as the notion of “kinky” channel-crossfeeding in order to make stereo to simulate the true binaural recordings are very old and used by headphone people for year ...

I used a set of 2-way near-field monitors and a decent sealed commercial subwoofer in a study room that was quite enjoyable. Mostly listened to FM. That room was not much more than 3m x 3m with lots of alcoves, slanted ceilings and a thick nylon rug....

You may remember I also use transformer shunting for attenuation, in my case the taps are selected by "communications" shunts/relays. My output is quite low R, but variable, and only the transformers for isolation (no "active buffer". I was wonderin...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have learned today that there is something g deeply wrong with it. [/quote]Not quite. What is wrong is not the Amplifier, but the use of headphones to replay recordings made for speaker reproduction. The way this pu...

Looks like the SPL headphone amp thing-ee is mostly about generating/getting sound effects for/from headphones. At this point, I think what I want is an "intact" signal at unity gain going to each of 5 channels. This should mean that the blended, c...

Brian,Microphone diaphrams, headphone diaphrams ,dome tweeters, all have to have the pattern applied with a technical pen i.e. Kohinoor or Mars. These are becomming a little difficult to find in all towns. A 50% mixture of Poly S and water should be ...

I do not go to 'Audio Shows' but the fact of the people are using Lampizators on this fashion may be because they (Lampizator) are promoting the headamp version of their DACs. Seems almost all of theirs DACs have a headamp version now.My experience w...

I think DP-777 sounds best when i turn off it's Jitter correction and i use bit Perfect I mode in 16bit 44.1khz mode.I think AMR DP-777 is very very good DAC but in my idea it is a-little bold sounding if i criticize tone.It sounds clear , very clear...

Snubbers are more effective when there is no inductor - just a diode/capacitor rectification. That's when they become useful. To snub out the ringing caused by leakage inductance. Keeps the "buzz" from coupling to other areas of the...

Oh I think it is very much a recursive arc but not in terms of audio fidelity etc as much as life history. But sometimes we can reculer pour mieux sauter. As big a problem as audio systems are to musical fidelity, the room effect is just as jarring. ...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]Next let's you acquire a few and tell us the results. ;-)[/quote]Ha Ha. Actually I was intending to do that. However, I was going to try things out at the lower end of the price range (under 1kW) on my computer based syste...

[quote user="ml8"]So sometimes i just wonder why do you need 6C33C at all, with your high-sensitive speakers.[/quote]Actually it would be VERY interesting to expend on it sometimes… Why the Supper Melquiades could not be juts one powerful 2-stafes LF...

Paul - I agree with your comments overall. Indeed Sony had a couple of Walkman tape players with surprisingly good sound quality. At the time I thought they were expensive and delicate. Today I appreciate the amount of engineering and care that Sony ...

[quote user="drdna"]What is revealing is that the system functions poorly with recordings with a lot of reverb. This is what one would expect of course, given the setup. Probably the best recordings to play on such as system would be the old Three Bl...

Hi N-set,
Interesting query on the small Stax. I don't want to go down the path of equipment reviewer but do want to answer your question and contribute where I can.
I have not tried the portable Stax model. Out of the gate, I could not reconc...

[quote user="Paul S"]You have said that there are no "good" 6N6Ps; but are some physically constructed better than others?[/quote]
Nope it was not what I said. I said the all 6N6P are equal, at least among those that I have seen and there are no rea...

I have a local audio guy coming to my room recently and he hive
me an interesting feedback. He said that my playback sounds like a headphone. I
had years back, when I lived in Boston apartment somebody told the same things.
There is a point to com...

scooter, thanks you. That was very nice of you. Last two my Cats eat 3 paid of headphones and
I just do not feel it worthy for me to get anything fancier then a few dollars
for commuting purpose. After trying some of the buds (thankfully my Cats l...

[quote user="scooter"]I think that is a VERY interesting issue to think about in the broader scope of sound reproduction with full-scale systems. [/quote]I'm not sure it's so interesting in the context of speakers--you have much more parameters to pl...

I do not know why you got my comment as something about you. To think about you are less that I care. Instead of thinking what I or any other Moron said about audio I would propose you to develop own thinking. Dacs, electrostatics, headphones… they a...

Or at least after visiting this site for a bit, and "knowing" about you more, not too much, because I realize you are like "graveyard serious" about audio, heh heh.Anyways, yeah, the point from me was to try to get you or others to think more positiv...
