A few days back I visited an audio person who demonstrated to me his experiments with extreme lateral deviation of souses. Regardless if I agree or not what he was doing or trying to do the demonstration has an unexpected result. One day I was driv...

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 ...

I have connected My Audio Note DAC 5 to EAR HP4 Headphone Amplifier and I hear the sound from My Sennheiser HD800. the Source is Computer .
Sennheiser HD800 is not easy load for HP4 and i think HD800 is very very bad sounding Headphone.

A visitor sent me information that British company BW Broadcast http://www.bwbroadcast.com…released this month a new tuner.http://www.broadcastequipmentguide.com/BW-Broadcast_09_03_09.phphttp://www.goodsoundclub.com/PD...

[quote user="hagtech"] For a single driver, looks to me like you need an input signal of at least 3Vrms. A lot of linestages can do that, so a single tube power amp seems both reasonable and interesting. [/quote]
What actually I discovered the...

[quote user="Antonio J."] Anyway, going back to the subject of the thread, why would you implement the ambiance retrieval at speaker level and not at the "pre DAC" one? After all we'd like to have from CD's something closer to what TU-X1 does.[/quote...

[quote user="KOTriode"]It's 60Hz hum, caused by both mechanical and magnetic field coupling to the output transformer. I used a toroidal transformer and thought it would not caused this problem but it did. When using an external power supply for ...

Hi Collin,[quote user="CO"]Hello Andy,I like your recordings although i am listening on headphones which i normally do not use. My Main setup is not operational right now.They do sound clean, clear and dynamic.[/quote]If you get your main setup opera...

my question is:
the relation between "music listening experience" and "sound quality".
very good articles are here (GSC) and I have read them.when I wake up early morning and start climbing at 5:30AM the music l...

Interesting. Also to be put in relation to the other things reported there. I came Saturday Sunday to ESD. Sunday, they welcomed me Dai:"hey you have been here before" .... me:"yes yes i need to see if what i heard yesterday was really that good be...

[quote user="nietzscheflake"] I am also thinking about how to get that headphone sound in my house and am contemplating the horn route… [/quote]
It ‘s fine but never forget that the imitation of headphones sound is NOT something that need to b...

I took today Ça Ira at work and gave to is a second listening, hoping that I will warm up to the opera. I have a phenomenally good headphone listening system at my work.
Listening the Ça Ira again I understand deeper what I did not like in his...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]1) A preamp shall have right Sound. I would not even comment on it. A preamp shall sound better then any other source a system has.2) A preamp shall have a remote control. I have expressed a well found view that a Remote Co...

[quote user="Steradian"]
Look at the popularity of 5.1 and 7.1 "multichannel" (not DSET) sound nowadays. Stereo audio is a dying breed. The public is choosing 6-8 channels of MP3 quality sound. They can't put together a satisfying 2 channel...

Ha! Maybe I can help. I lived in Tokyo for a few years and tried to find the "perfect" commuting earbuds. Tokyo's "Best Buy" type electronics stores are huge and typically stock 100s of different models. There are also two large headphone specialty s...

I kind of never paid too much attention to it a few years back but lately more and more it become to fascinate me. I am taking about the Macondo/Melquiades tandem’s ability to demonstrate distinction between pitches at alarming high level. Sure ...

I wrote about it many many times but it keep shook me, primary because it very much violates all intellectual provision I can extend against what I am saying. Today FM again flew my socks off and it was not special FM but objectively crappy FM.

ROWUK says "I get much
enjoyment from the Norwegian Radio web radio. They have a wonderful mix
of the music that I like which is orchestral and advanced chamber music.
They broadcast at 192KB which is not super fidelity, but their cho...

Oliver, I do not know and I do not particularly care about what is going on out there with synthetic reverb. There are few major reasons for it.
1) All synthetic reverb is gone by DSP of signal and my experience indicates that post...

[quote user="ml8"]So sometimes i just wonder why do you need 6C33C at all, with your high-sensitive speakers.[/quote]
This thread is a derivation of the “5 Channel Version of Melquiades” thread:

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am not sure if you stress the words “sound” or the word “stereo”. I do not have anything to do with mono but properly implemented stereo is absolutely wonderful and I love Take a little portable mono microphone, attach it...

(Romy feel free to move this post)[quote user="Paul S"]N-set, I understand you do not mean to hijack the thread with the Axiom, so I actually tried to make generic and/or thread-related observations. I don't know the 6E5P, but generic issues with sp...

I found an interesting flow in the sound of my current OPTS and while it will be certified I am experimenting with park of amorphous core transformers that left over from my former projects. I am trying to remap my Tribute but it is just 40mA. It...

[quote user="ml8"] If you think gas regulators make sound of 6E5P so nice, didn't you try putting gas regulator tube in the grid of the 6C33C, and why? [/quote]
Sure, I trued. It sounded very bad. I pull out of my butt any imaginable rational with e...

[quote user="drdna"]Experimenting with the new 2A3 tubes has been a very interesting experience. It has given me insight into more specifically exactly what I am looking for in the stereo sounds, which I associate with the Sound.

I had one for about a week and was not happy. Switched to a Kenwood KT1100.
Here an honest review that matches my experience. Bottom line is that on stuff this old, the individual buyer will determine the price, not the market.

Well, Nerone, the differences between any tuners would greatly vary with signal, not even with the strength of signal but rather with the specific location and surrounding of a given station. To make the things conceptually right it wou...

[quote user="Paul S"]So this amp would not have to deal with a crossover? One R and one L in the signal path, it looks like a headphone amp, maybe a dream circuit for a light piston, HF only, given no cap/coil load at the [ribbon] driver. [/quo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Iraschwips , sorry that your post was deleted. The site

Well, probably too much looking into to the word “insult” made
the focus of it a bit off the target. I
