[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is interesting lately to think about a new listening room
as a concept. We looked at a few good house that for this or that reason did
not work for us and one had a very good listening room, just a phenomenal location

Here is a good Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 illustration. This is a station not truly DX but a station that is in very difficult reception environment. I never was able to get it clear from my location. Even the DX champion Yamaha T-85 in its ultra na...

Happy New Year, Clark.
Though I have not heard much of purely sonic interest from Blu-Ray, I have enjoyed the full Blu-Ray/home theater experience for opera, and even for a rock concert or two. It can be "fun" if I'm in the right frame of mind.

I spent good hour trying to configure and re-configure the system in order to get rid the loop noise. Ironically nothing worked still. I have no noise if I run CD played directly to poser amp, with all of them directly plugged to PP2000 and all g...

Since my B2 ULF power amp will be long time to fix then being a compulsive person fully suffering from Dostoevsky Complex I bought another B2 amp to keep the blood flooding in my playback. Surprisingly it was no my decision but I got advise from ...

In the western world we have preconceptions about availability of „luxury“ items elsewhere. We don‘t know much about Iran and due to embargos and sanctions I had never given it much thought.It certainly shows my ignorance but I am surprised at the a...

time to get accustomed to slightly higher pitch of viola and perceived
narrowed dynamic range but I went over it very fast and nowadays feel

Got home tonight in the mood craving for somebody abuse me. Flipped the amplifier switch (not even Milq!) and put the Stravinsky in use. It did not work. An abuse shall have some class. Stravinsky does not do it to me – he was too much lost in hi...

I always hesitant to make recommendations regarding purchasing decision in audio. The last time I made a recommendation to a local audio guy was to get Altec 19 loudspeaker instead of the crap that he had. The problem that you can make recommendatio...

Thanks, for posting the link. I never heard about this company.

We are talking about subjective reactions so there is no way to dispute either of our responses. However, I do see a disconnect between your statements that I quoted and your subsequent post. In the first post you were talking about the Queen of Spad...

Last couple month when I rebooted my DAW it has difficult time to start up; it looks like motherboard is going and bias sometime during boot does not see hardware. Usually with 30 min and 10-60 automatic recursive attempts the machine boots and t...

[quote user="Antonio J."]I agree with your thoughts. Current High End is to audio like Haute Couture is to fashion. You actually pay for something that a designer decided you may need (in fact he gives a damn if you need it or not always you buy it),...

Romy,It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound through the resonan...

Yes, Canada & Mexico add US $200, but Alaskans might pay by salmon and childhood pictures of Sarah Palin. With all joke aside here is an interesting gisheft that Jim Smith offers nowadays.

What actually extremely pissed me off was the David Eliot’s attitude that we the listeners are not the owners of our own listening experiences but some kind of hostages of FM station’s wishes. Years back I was under impression that he is just a...

When I was designing The Listening Studio (a business, of sorts) I had 4000 sq.ft. of floor at my disposal. Only the ceiling was fixed : A slanted oak-beamed roof of 14' to 16' height. After considerable thought I hit upon a solution: I would make th...

Mani, Pacific is freaky and it detects HDCD code only at the resolution that it was encoded. If it was coded at 16 bit then it will not read the HDCD at 20 Bit. There is an option in there that set the HDCD detection death… I did not play a lot ...
