[quote user="op.9"]Well, I found Janacek strange and unfathomable. I was brought up on Haydn-Beethoven-Schubert-Brahms-(Mahler)-Schoenberg route... so I had no entering point for Janacek. I also loved Dvorák and Smetana... but this was no help ei...

I have posted about some of my recent experience with longer "naked" HF ribbons in Romy's "Water Drop" thread. Here are some observations that relate these drivers back to the ML2s, along with some other recent ML2 trivia.My speakers are listed...

I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever get the new listening room checked out electrically and the new system ground installed, etc., but I finished this work yesterday, including a soldered-rather-than-clamped ground wire-to-rod connection. ...

Procedure:
In all cases except for the KORG MR-1000, SOUND DEVICES SD744T and METRIC HALO[used with an Apple Laptop], I fed the outputs of the Stellavox SM8 to the A-D converter inputs [...

I saw this topic and it prompted me to register and reply, rather than just read, which I've been doing on and off for years now.

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...

As most of us know, the answer to Sherlock's pointer is, the dog did nothing in the night-time -- and that was the curious incident. [quote user="morricab"] Romy sez: "I see things differently. My view advocates that playback creates NEW Sound from s...

Glancing a few days back over the latest TAS magazine I come across at the first pages Robert Harley’s article about a Asian guy who has zillion turntables, speakers setups and listening rooms in his home… Robert, wrote in his blog about that guy: “T...

This is an interesting subject that fascinates me recently. I have
a listening room with pretty good playback custom-build for it. All together it
produces a fine result and perfectly complies with general objectives of
high-end audio. For a last ...

Robert,Many thanks for the clear exposition of the technicalities to consider in making what is on the face of it such a simple choice. I however disagree that the points being considered here, as both you and Romy seem to suggest, only ought to be c...

With Ming permission I post a fragment of his emails where he describes his midbass horn. It appears that he uses cone-drivers with ltooooooo ow Fz in non-compression application with no back chamber. Now it is obvious where he is losing his midbass ...

A few comments. I think the region that impressed you was somewhere 50Hz-500Hz, the melody range with all those fundamentals. It might appear that it was in the lower end but I think it still was the fundamentals with first overtones. Since you c...

Paul McGowan, the head of PS Audio send his newsletter with his comments about SACD. The comments are childish and in many way absolutely ignorant. I hate what the industry professionals twist the facts and go into pure falsification in order to ...

I started in hi-fi with LPs and I have never stopped using them as my principal source for hi-fi. Some time ago I decided that master tape was better than vinyl, but I could not afford to go that route; so I settled on the next best thing: a cartrid...

Alex,
I am sorry, I know very little about Benz cartridges but I was wondering what heck you do for living that you are able 6 hours a day spin records while you in the office. Are you getting paid for listening and changing the records? Or ar...

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 Rockports have a very light platter and a carbon Arm....the one I listened to was the latest, it had simply no Bass reproduction, nada, nothing and the Arm resonances are also inferior to any energy transfer from any cartridge. The lead wires are...

That all interesting though but the problem is that they have no way to be absolute valid. Yes, we as a humans, have a lot of masking effect build in us that prevents up to get complexity and color of sound with dynamic range rises. Yes we do in many...

The Targeted Audio Listening has nothing to do with general music listening and it is just an ingredient of a very narrow audio evolutions. It might be as stupid as just brainless acknowledgment of individual sound or as complex as assessment of...

I think my new room and new midbass horn will give me an opportunity to play at the NEW LEVEL with a notion that I have been chasing for years. I am taking about perceptual shrinking of frequency response. I need to admit that most of the ugliest...

I recently dealt with two manufactures that produce music . I noted that both of them stated with good result but nowadays, years in operation, they produce despicable crap. This correlates with a famous amplifier manufacturer, very much not stup...

[quote user="jam"]I would agree that the RX-5000 has some advantage to the SX-8000 and I put the differences down to mainly the air bearing and construction of the platter which will cause softness and a lack of focus (some people may like this). T...
