“…stop by and bring some of your music….” – how many times we hear when we invited to listen someone’s playback. I am sure all of us have a selected favorite recording to assess playbacks and I would like to share some of mine that I have been ...

it seems the computer audio problem is not bit errors and even correct bit-perfect digital data (from computer) does not give us good sound.
the wadax new server (computer) does not use digital processing and it onl...

Where those EdgarHorn Titans with the Edgar’s woofers? I ask because I am very concerned about the LF response. The Shelter 901 has phenomenal bass in my view, even now. In fact all my system/room in a way “calibrated” from the bass that Shelte...

Hm.... I generally late to technology innovations in audio and I am OK with it. As many of you know many of "innovations" in audio are very much shooting to a wrong target and in most of the instances with a wrong dun and wrong ammunition. The new o...

[quote user="Alex Yakovlev"]I am going. Driving from NJ, can pick you up on my way. That is if you can tolerate audio nut with a stick shift.[/quote]
Thank, Alex. I have no problems with stick shift, I drive myself stick shift. As I understand...

Wait...are you saying that FOUR people who have been to Camerata wrote you offline (within two days!) and they neglected to enter into this relevant discussion?Strange! H'mmm? If I were the guy mentioned above, I would have been in here screa...

user="rowuk"]There are so many things that pop into mind when reading
this thread - the "expectations" of a visitor, Roman knowing before
the guest is even there what the outcome will be and then for both sides
"proof".

[quote user="steverino"]FM is Analog Signal Processing vs DSP. The compression aspect is only really intrusive on orchestral works. Pop and jazz are already compressed and chamber music presents a more limited dynamic range if not limited contrast. B...

I few days ago an audio guy visited me. I under normal circumstances do not allow regular audio people of "this type" in my listening room, but this was the situation that I needed to do it. I said the “audio people of this type”, what did I mean? W...

[quote user="Telstar"] scooter wrote:* Regarding playback, I misspoke in my original post of an "Audiophile music server." Upon further reflection, this is an oxymoron, if not a moronic phrase. I think it is highly unlikely that a dedicated audioph...

C, I very much agree about the benefits of spherical needle, partially on the older records and out of condition records, and this is one of the reasons why people have multiple arms on TTs. Yes, in many cases the spherical stylus “tracks better” 9mo...

[quote user="deemon"]But here we have an interesting question . Imagine two persons - the first man likes classic music and don't likes rock , and the second - likes both . And they tries to make their systems using this concept - "good performa...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]Romy,You refer to the D minor concerto as a "piano concerto," but wasn't it originally composed for harpsichord, like all his other keyboard works? (Except organ of course.) Anyway, I have a harpsichord recording of the D...

Romy, I do agree with all your comments. It is true that the magnitude of the rubber taste very much depends on the crossover frequency. I used them below 64Hz, but with first order filter, implemented before the amp that drives them. With that kind ...

[quote user="anthony"]Have put all my DHT's on the curve tracer to see if pairs can be matched for preamp duties. [/quote] It was very interesting to read about all of it. If you have a socket for YO186 then you can accommodate all 4V tubes and I si...

[quote user="HookEm"]The reproduction does not seem natural... too far away from what I would hear at a live event (e.g., female vocalist). Sort of bright and fatiguing at times. I may not be using the proper terminology to describe it, but I do...

We have tested live recordings against live sound, a recording of a jazz singer was done on Reel tape on an Ampex ATR modded machine with Fluxmagnetics heads etc. The microphone used was the legendary Telefunken stereo tube mic. no post producti...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]No, you did not do before and you are not doing it still. I think the problem with that you are expressing is that you have no desire to EXPLAIN FOR YOURSELF what you do. Forgot about the amplifiers, speakers and the ...

[Quote]BTW, I have a incredibly accurate record of sniffing those thoughts. [/Quote]Thought sniffing is precisely the problem. Too much thought sniffing.You have not heard Mangers, Aporia, or Loth-X speakers yet you thought sniffed yourself into an i...

Well, leaving aside my "grinding axes", namely my habitual love to remind people and myself that there are plenty Morons in audio I do think that Berkeley's parley to Reference DAC is interesting. It is interesting not by the DAC as a unit but rather...

The computer is a great music server but also a source of jitter ...

Stressing Bass in my former post I would like do not overly accent the lower bass itself but rather an organic combination of bass with something that I would call “full body” sound.
It we look at many properly setups, loaded and amplified cartridge...

With regards to the links, as it happens, I totally agree that 15in Tannoy Reds struggle to handle complex music. The crossover is too simplistic and the cones too hard to control with a low power amp. Reds can be lovely in a simple vintage system bu...

ArmAlex the fun thing is that you read Romy posts here without understanding his ideas and copy paste Romy instructions in your Audio system and the result is lower than those audiogon guys (an example of your audio logic -> you buy gryphon spea...

Most here are probably familiar with the fact that A/B "blind tests" were popular in the early days of "audio", where listeners seemingly could not distinguish between live sounds and electronic "counterparts" issuing from behind a curtain. Today we...

[quote user="rowuk"]Maybe a lot of what Romy or Harlanov hear is determined by what they have conditioned themselves hear in a specific way? Maybe we are all victims of our own "conditioning" and need to address this first? What IS amazing to me is t...
