Last week I had an audio visitor from far US state and listening Sound in my room and wanting to make a compliment to me he said: “of cause, no one can’t achieve this bass without your solid floor”. Being asshole as I am I begun to stress with h...

My prize to the most interesting and educational room at the show goes to a room with WAVAC 833 power SETs. Visiting this room made me to think a lot and made me to draw a lot of very valuable to me conclusions.
I heard a lot about those amps. Recen...

What did you know; I was in Barnes & Noble and bought a first for quite long time September TAS magazine. I do not subscribe audio publications but seldom buy them. Since I did not do it for as long time I though it will be entertaining. It...

These thoughts come in the wake of Romy’s recent encounter with a certifiable fringe dweller who, IMO, is not just illustrative in the generic hi-fi nutbag sense, but also in the there’s-more-to-this-nutbag-than-his-worst-would-suggest sense. B...

I do not care about the Bruno Walter’s or the Mahler’s himself comments. I care about myself and in the way how I want it to play not one plays, and I am disappointed.

Marc Mickelson always was one of the heroes of audio propaganda – he always was able to load a maximum cargo of “strategic information” to the readers without being insulting to anyone and without too obvious demonstration of his real intentions. I r...

user="mats"]I’d like to pick up on one thing the visitor noted.
He said Macondo was able to “dissect” the most “complex and

The first level of listening perception is Static Level. At this level a listener perceives musical information as a collection of the individual sounds and a listening awareness tries to evaluate the “convince-ability” of those sounds. At this level...

I met a few days back a person who does high-end audio and in fact he does. He has multiple turntables, he has discrimination taste in audio components/elements, has his ideas how a playback might or should be built. For all intended purpose he i...
