[quote user="Amphissa"] Mats, I agree with you. The recording of the cello concerto by Natalia Gutman with Svetlanov conducting is the best overall performance of this beautiful concerto. It is unfortunate that she never toured in the West. She is re...

[quote user="JANDL100"]I agree that a lot of the orchestral/choral music is pro-Soviet propaganda crap pumped out by a good, card carrying servant of the regime who is eager to please his political masters. [/quote] I have no problems with it if it w...

I usually do not do those “fetish trips” but here I think it might be educational for Western readers as it is slightly different. I got an email with a like to a clip that you might like. It is Russian-made turntable Korvet -038, from which I ...

There is an article where Likhnitsky explains what he was trying to accomplish with the tonearm. It is in Russian but there is an image there that presents the concept. The entire silver ball moves along with the arm’s wand. Inside the ball is swimmi...

The loss of life, the senseless destruction of cities and towns, breaking up of families is what bothers me. Very few countries truly have a working system of getting the best public servants - especially at the top - or getting rid of them. Orchestr...

People are not required to like or dislike anything. I guess the question you raise would require some additional info to answer. Some people have Austro German music as their reference and therefore don't really like styles which are at variance, fo...

I would like to follow up with my initial post. The last nigh I went to NY’s Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center to hear the Spivakov NPoR. I have great sit (Orchestra RowM, center, 3 sits on the left – perfect for piano concertos). Funny: ahead of m...

Thanks, Chris.
Dima I discussed today many imaginable scenarios. Initially we thought drive a single 6C19P from MF channel of super Milq. But it has some negative consequences… Eventually we decided (it is not final decision but the final with 90% ...

Yes, it is a bit ridicules to have 4 boxes – a clearly money-raising project. Probably Lamm need to make it 2 chassis init with box #5 is to store manuals and box #6 to store the tube replacements. Talking about tube – one gain state with 4 paral...

Romy,The normal bias for the Golden Grid tube for 200V Plate at 200ma is about 70V-80V for the good tubes, the bad tube read 0ma at this bias, when drop to -30V it start reading some current, but can't get to 150-200ma current for the SE amplifier.Th...

OK I misunderstood. I do wonder if it is a bit of an artifact of the old Soviet policy in education of "inducing" students to go into certain fields. In other words, I wonder if the current generation of acoustic scientists in Russia and East Europe ...

There is so much material worth reading here that it would be hard to list it, and not all the important material is where one might presuppose to find it. Romy hinted at this when he suggested, broadly, that you take a "wholistic" approach. There is...

In the thread GM70 vs. 6C33C two year back I have written that the only tube that I would like to trey in Milq besides 6C33C would be YO-186.

With 'The Cat's' reputation in the audio community, why not take advantage of that (for the good)?. The Cat's trademark is enough to draw people in from the audio world, and from there the regular punters (non audio enthusiasts). If costs were contro...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Got today a party of the 6C18C from 1960s, an interesting tube. The plate looks like 1/4 times larger and has no bridge between the halves. The 6C18C has even less plate impedance than 6C33C and it appears that it futures i...
