[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...

Ok, it turned out that I had all caps and coils "in stock" necessary to adjust the filters very close to Romy's recommendations.Its still not perfect, and I had the mic 1m from the membrane of the driver (had not yet rea...

TwoGoodEars posted at his blog a report about is listening session or some kind of installation. I still have no idea who’s installation it is: Jean Hiraga or Be Yamamura. Nevertheless, I think it very much worth to look into it.

Whoever implemented and experimented with my slicing of lower MF range by 3 channels (Upperbass, Fundamentals, and MF) know how powerful it might be. Changing loading and volume of each of the channels it is possible to write any sound one might ...

Yep, Telstar. The 1547 was use in Sony and Teac CD players and believe the first CD-SACD machines used that chip. I know very little about those chips and have none of my personal experience to deal with all of it. The reasons why I brought it up bec...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Still, I feel that air-cap has own coloration. This “no resolution”, vacuum-clean HF dynamic is coloration itself as I do recognize this characteristic across all music that the corrector plays. The sound of the air-correc...

[quote user="drdna"] The first key would be
that the digital reproduction be of a high enough sample rate to fall
below the threshold of perception. The scond would be, in my mind, that
the process of reproduction not create a new structure, but r...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]1) Be very careful with use Halco resistors. They were very good 15 years back but they turned south very aggressively. I bought a party of Halco in 2005 and I forced myself to trashed them as they were very noisy. You...

Mozart's Magic Flute. What else should be said? Many “simple people” consider it as one of the greatest opera… Well, I always find it… almost annoying.
A few days I watched a strange production of Magic Flute that I liked a lot and even more that on...

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...

Thanks for the link, el`Ol. The original Görlichs, when they still use aluminum layers were very interesting, thought they were soft suspended drivers that is not my cap of tea. BTW, for whatever it worth the Magico new version does not use ADT...

Ok, it does not have a direct relation to the quality of electricity but I think you might like this little toy, as it is very useful during our electricity straggling. It is very small device that plugs pass-through to your load and this device:

I would like to share some ides what I would like to do in my monitor project. This are just intention and I did not try to put it all together. Probably I will do it with the next few weeks.
I’m planning to use the Celestion SL-600 enclosure ...

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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, I took the anti-RIAA signal converted and run CD player into the phonostage. The RIAA curve was fine and the effect of the HF volume and frequency-depended quantization did not expose itself. So, it looks like the p...

Today there was a broadcast of Gaetano Donizetti “L'elisir d'amore” from our local Shubert Theater by Boston Lyric. I always love those small-stage production – they might not have the killing cast but they try honestly and have that boutique quality...

[quote user="peter foster"] The TU-X1 sounds to me as though there is a dolby processing happening even when the dolby feature is off. [/quote]You might check if your country decoding switch is not in a wrong setting. It located at the very top of th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The “expedited” sound
shorten a bit the decay time/volume and makes transients more prevailing. This
is what very commonly audio people feel as “quality” but I degree with it.
[/quote]Romy, in my previous response I ...

A Federated Mike started his new venture ultimist.com, the portal where he feel people would like to go to do “purchase research”. Those poor audio dealers do not get that someone might have interests in audio outside the brands, shopping and nee...

I have heard hundreds and hundreds of audio systems and mine is by far the best. Honestly nothing even comes close. There is a scientific reason for this. MY system starts with a PERFECTLY tuned room...something overlooked by ma...

I am glad that you mention your use of 120A. I never heard it (consciously) and I bought it juts due to advice of 3 people, one of them was the guy who sold them. I have no idea what to expect from them but I think they shall not be too bad. I asked ...

[quote user="skushino"] Being new to subs, isn't there an obvious danger of over loading this little room with too much bass energy? [/quote]Where did you get this bogus notion? What does it mean: “loading this little room with too much bass energy”....

I can’t say that I like the headphones that people call “good.” I have heard a number of high-class phones, including the one that I was told cost over 5 thousands dollars and I was not impressed what I heard. Some people suggest the while I used tho...

I’d like to post some information about my own experiences with the new PurePower+ 2000 unit, and the customer service (or lack thereof) experienced under the new regime, so that people can be advised. I ordered and paid for my unit in October last ...
|
[quote user="slowmotion"]Good news if the analogue stages of the DCX2496 is so bad. So the improvement of a modified unit should be worth the ekstra work, and remove some of the x-overs negative influence on the sound. Which is always good to know be...

Here is an opportunity to here in slightly better. It is 24/88K, 47M mono - file with Kalman from 1954. Do not download it is you can not play high resolution files.

[quote user="AllHammer"]This post has basically wiped out the entire reputation you have tried to build up in the past. Rebutting a review does not make yours right, and from my personal experiences, you are indeed far from right. I can see why some ...
|
[quote user="cv"] But I don't think they are doing this here. What I would bet is that that they are running the thing in A2 with a much lower Z primary, using a lower B+ and high standing current. They are also using feedback which will help the ban...

That is so much pisses me. A few days back I posited this like and was laughing that this guy record in DSD (which is in fact not DSD but SACD, I do not think he has access to DSD) in order to sell his recording in PCM 2X and 4X? Why do those people ...
