All digital domain volume controls (or crossovers, which is the same) by definition reduce amount of bits. Some “creative” companies fight within by introducing the additional processing after the bits were lost in order to hide the fact that they op...

Macondo, because it is prodigiously time aligned has very nerow and well defined listening sweet spot. The only same identical listening spot I heard only from one another loud speaker, it was Wilson Alexandria which was very accurately time alig...

It does not surprise me that your current setup is "missing" so much. I am positive that if you get 100 pieces of exactly your model of Tannoy, they will ALL sound different.I do not have a test for this, but feel that point source in this context ha...

How can we compare anything if we know from the very first note what media is being used? The noise floor and sonic artifacts are unique to each media, so are we talking about confirmation bias? Let us assume that we have a first generation analog ma...

Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

I think the usage of Romys Injection Channel has misguided you to think it was implemented because of a certian lack of tone or some sterile sound, nothing of the sort, I cannot blame you for not having listened to Romys system, but theo...

[quote user="CO"]I have tried a BMS driver a while ago and it was really bad.
About a year ago i heard Berts setup at his house and it did not impress me... It was also with the coaxial BMS.Not much depth or resolution. Did have alot of power though...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] If I get you correctly, the graph should display a range of around 12dB from top to bottom, in .5dB steps... Yes? [/quote]Yes, it would do, you might go for high or lower resolution, and there are no rules in it. You shel...

The more I think about reproduced sound the more disassociated I find myself with the mainstream audio people. Really, I do not share may of their objective and what in mass audio hysteria is considered essential and prominent does not impress me, fu...

I’m very much pro wider frequency response, as wide as possible. However, using juts a trim “wider frequency response” different people mean different thing perhaps…

The product range is unfortunately growing. I have seen quite a few recordings that I was interested but they were recorded in SACD and therefore were compromised by the format. I would not give a lot of credit to association between format and the m...

The initials post was the body of email that Kostas sent to me and considering it’s format he presumed that I will me post it on my site. So, I did it (with his permission). I ran all those tracks once (some of them just a few seconds) and below is v...

[quote user="coops"]Cello HI I have only heard the Cole for a short time, so it wouldn't be fair to compare, also I really can't say to what extent the LCR circuit contributes to the sound of the 1500, the Allnic is very dynamic, has high resol...

Hello Coops,
Can you explain more why the Allnic 1500 is the best phono you have heard, and why was it superior to the Cole LCR ?
What is the superiority of LCR-RIAA phonostages , besides having excellent RIAA correction curves ? What about the...

Hi Samuel, I see that quite a few replies without much in the way of suggestions. Romy will not give you what you want, ie. a shopping list of speakers to audition, but I will give you one or two recommendations that I think sound quite good in...

I've been listening to my system tuned by Romy. So far, this is what I think is happening. I don't want look like a kid puffing up to look like an adult, so will try to be simple.The most noticeable difference is the increased dynamics an...

A few days ago I was expressing my dissatisfaction with the BS-mania that industry spread about the digital masters.

Sure I did. The WaveLab is not good reader at all. I was converting CD to WAV file with EAC and the played it from EAC and from WaveLab – it was not good in both cases. In fact WaveLab is very bad for any file manipulations: change rate, change resol...

[quote user="drdna"] Oh, I see you are absolutely correct. I am very puzzled. As it says on the website, the mastering studios relocated to a new location. Maybe there was no room for the old set-up. I was only in the old studio a few years ago. I sw...

Interesting. I remember getting low contrast levels when using the asa 32 film (I think it was pan-x), but huge grey scales. Sometimes I shot in tri-x just to add drama. In the end though, my best prints were from the pan-x using ne...

[quote user="JLH"]Foolishness is too soft a word to describe the unspeakable garbage the Magico Ultimate is. They have mis-matched impedance drivers, improperly sized horns for the drivers, and made everything from metal. Then they go on an attempt t...
