People these days don't do CDs or even digital downloads so annoyance with fiddling with anything has gone far beyond vinyl. I also can't believe that wivss or anyone else really now suddenly want to play vinyl except for the inconvenience. I can und...

I setup on Macondo/Milq back
by the calibration sheet and tine up all channels. The system up and running with
perfectly trained obedient sound. I like it. There is no tweeter and no ULF The
midbass is running with first order filter at 78Hz, in t...

May i ask how far you are from the front of the upper bass horn (on axis) You also mention being in a 'small' room ?Rgs, Collin...

[quote user="drdna"] The vast majority of things that give us information about a performance of a musical piece are preserved or lost in the recording process, not in the reproduction by the audio system. [/quote]
I would very much argue this. I wo...

One of many wonderful features of my hopefully coming listening room is it’s perfect integration with kitchen. I am not so good cook but I like cooking. Mostly what I cook is turn out to be crap but I do know how to eat and I very much like to celebr...

Amir, You are just not reading and thinking about it carefully enough. The only point of Romy's that I might have some slight question is that a great system can make a beautifully recorded second rate (not bad) performance sound satisfactory enough...

Since I have struggled with my own +/- insurmountable problems with Lowthers, OB, BR, etc., ad nauseum, I can certainly relate generically to what you have just said about horn drivers in this injection thread.Yet this may be the only time I have hea...

I am very happy that you did not suspend my account. Because i will prove to you in the future that my idea for time alignment is correct. I have only had one account with your web site, and your web forum is the only one i am a member of. Because i ...

Congratulations on the construction and installation of your horns. May your pleasure at the results reward your effort and expense. I find their installed appearance even more geometrically striking than anticipated and I suspect now that some o...

I would like to thank you for taking the time to give me a very satisfying answer and explain in detail your views on the whole subject and give a little more insight in to how you do things. Yes I suppose I really knew all along it was coming and w...

Gotta say, it's nice having great stereo front channels; but the way typical stereo is done ensures that the "sense of space" typically "stops behind the speakers". I messed around with big OB speakers for many years, and they made some nice room eff...

Wilson Audio Buys Rights to Romy's Amps and Speakers
Due to a reversal of fortune, Romy ("who would have thought all those air core capacitors would have added up to so much") sold all the schematics, rights, and designs of his Super Melquiades am...

Ken,
Lamm ML1 is always was a mystery for me. ML1 is very far from ML2 performance-wise. From what I understand the ML1 is basically is M1.1 modification with tubes output. I have seen a few times when ML1 performed better then M1.1 and at the same ...

I am staring this thread as an organic continuation of the former Real Estate thread:

In the world or audio you
learn new and interesting facts every day.
AC caps (ceramic, electrolytic, polyester and polypropylene metallized foil types) can buzz at various frequencies.
This is not nonsense, and is quite normal behav...

Hi Romy. Why trying to reinvent the wheel? Everything about room treatment and room accoustics has been said and done. By a guy totally in the know and offering his advice and his tools on his website. Michael Green does NOT damp, diffuse, trap o...

Yup, Kegel is an excellent and under-appreciated conductor. I have his complete Beethoven symphony set which are all very fine "middle of the road" performances. I also have him in Bruckner 5th and 8th (both with the Leipzig Radio Or...

Very sorry to hear of your loss. I love showing people the pictures of your playback system with the pictures of your cat.......

I hope Thomas David brings you as much joy as my two young sons have brought me. But hopefully he'll not do what mine do whenever I listen to music: "Not classical daddy, we want pop."Mani....

I'm crushed! Just for the record your sight is regarded as ridiculous. I checked out your site after someone told me how absurd it was. Boy was he right. The high-end is under siege from many people and organizations. Like a bad dealer, bad manufactu...

Angelo ,Romy is right .Forget about him and his advices. Go to the mountains and find your inner truth....:0)For years he's drooling that S2 although not perfect is the most interesting compression driver and now when there is the chance that this dr...

You say you want at least two giant, solid rooms (for the horns and for listening), and enough acoustic isolation to crank it up...The only other option seems to be using SOLID walls, floors, and/or ceilings as "part of the horns"; but this still req...

Michael Fremer has been called a very unpleasant personality. Seeing this post of his, I can see why. Of course he is playing a con game, just like all of Stereophile is. There is no doubt about that. Anyone who embraces analog over digital has got b...

It seems that I do agree with you about the sound of compression driver midbass.. at least from what I have heard in my own room.. I have heard the big ALE drivers you mention on a bent steel horn similar to what ALE builds, but of the owner's design...

Well, when you read my site and since the majority of the context with this site is generated by me you might come across a “peculiar semantics and phonetics” while you read my posts. It is perfectly fine, you are not alone and sometimes I mysel...

I wonder how did you realize that you were clueless and started to ask more from your system and why. Many people who start into this hobby because they're mainly music lovers and not gear freaks, don't use to get into audiophilia and never mind abou...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not like the idea of batteries for anything. It is kind of ridicules to use batteries. Yes, in some cases there is some improvement on low voltage electronics but it is ONLY because the power lines are badly sounding t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This is all because you are a primitive person with very simplistic and amateurish understanding of many things. You need to learn from much more sophisticated people, of cause I mean myself. Take a look: I do not run like...

We should all be grateful that you're documenting it so well....

Dear Romy, I didn't say you bought another device to compensate for Pure Power, I said you spent time effort and money to operationalize it in your system with new dedicated linee, rejiggering positions of audio components, using isolation transforme...
