Fostex T 500A MK 2 Horn Super TweeterArticle By Bill Gaw at www.enjoythemusic.com
As most of you know by now, I'm a horny type of guy. While my wife may dispute this, my audio system (actually my second partner) would have to agree as all seven spea...

Thanks, Steve, though I believe you forget to mention to the room number where Alex Peychevs will be demonstrating.

...I'd sent the Feline an email thanking him for the disc but hadn't seen this thread... I'd wondered why the posts count on the site was creeping upwards with no new mentions of kit, gear, componentry, Melquiades or the like.Well, DUH ...

I do not like Prokoviev and I need a lot of meditations to do :-) in order to “force” myself to listen him. Although I appreciate his clean and child-like expressionism but I rely do not LIKE whatever he does… unit the last night.The last night I com...

I worked on the Dannoy's for about a year, first with the Vitavox bass driver, then using two tannoy red 10's using only the cone for the second unit to improve volume and bass reproduction. Changed out amplifiers, used original, English new knockoff...

I had a Walker Proscenium turntable with various cartridges. About twenty years ago I converted all my vinyl to 24/96 files and have never looked back. As far as dsp processing, the Trinnov altitude does a superb job of either recreating the hall sou...

Will try to answer all questions here.Romy: I understand why you do not wish to use the term “surround sound”, but it is the accepted term for what we are discussing. You may add other terminology, but it only muddies the debate until others accept i...

Steve, now that I understand your idea of "transients" here, I simply agree, of course. I always thought of this as part of a "time" problem that is +/- endemic to digital; it can't "breathe" to "make space" for the properly complex "inflections". ...

Romy Your file was burned in wave format you provided as-is. It was never processed by the Korg. I conducted my test to evaluate the sound of 176/24 files on my system. These files came from you, Reference Recording and my Korg and all can coexist un...

After buying Channel Classics' re-issue of Rachmaninov S2 by Fischer and Budapest FO in their low cost Canal Grande series I contacted the company to enquire if there were any differences between this and the original CD.

I admit tat I ma kind of a freak of nature in my pursuit to the abstract absolute tone of orchestra. Attending life performances I practically never hear “tone” that satisfies me. In the Mecca of my tonal satisfaction there was 3 years ago a vi...

Hi,
Does anyone know if the PCM 44.1Khz layer in the Living Stereo SACD discs was down-converted from higher rates?
These discs are currently selling for lower prices (amazonUK) than the CD versions and I am tempted to get myself a couple of reco...

I did not order the UnipheyeMusic. Tne only recording I was interested was the Beethoven quartet but I did not like how it was recorded. According to the UnipheyeMusic guy the artists were too “famous” to give him a lot of time for recording an...

Hi Romy,
Thanks for the link (how silly of me not to have thought of that): I've found a few more VCs in that list that I wish to look into.
I hadn't been to a violin concerto since childhood (before all those years of pop) and I guess those more...

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...

Since I do not do SACD and stay in PCM world I always wonder what the optimum sampling rate might be. As I told I discard the 48X as never was necessary rate. So, we have 44.1K, 88.2K, 176K and 352K… Surely we are out of 16-bit world – a move f...

Oh that forgotten pleasure… I am not spoiled with audio experiments nowadays. Partially because I do not have a lot of drive and have reached a definitive return in my possible audio experiments. Another partial preseason is that I kind of able to pr...

I do not mean to be negative and criticize Romy, but he is wrong on surround sound. It is the implementation and not the concept which should cause vomiting, like with the vast majority of two track recording which are unlistenable. With the rig...

Many companies recently began to offer options for raw VAW-players – that God. I hope the CD/DVD.SACD all will die and go to hell. Playing the row files is the way to do. Even the raw 16/44 VAW is so far beyond then any crap put in disk that it is no...
