[quote user="guy sergeant"] I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, arms, cartridges, CD Player...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Thousands of other people make comparisons like this every week but manage not vent their feelings publicly about what they find. [/quote]
And it is exactly why there is no common sense in audio. Those “thousands co...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I have not drawn any conclusions about how this amplifier might sound. I cannot imagine how the input stage you use will behave and how that will impact on what the 6C33 does. As I've said previously the Lamm amplifiers us...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] They aren't forcing anyone to buy what they make. It's like walking into your favourite bakers and seeing a new type of cake on the shelf. You don't have to buy one but it makes the shop more interesting. [/quote]Not reall...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Look at the scale & range of what you are trying to reproduce. It's also very difficult to record it.[/quote]I have no problem with neither scale nor range, in fact it is even entertaining to see that none of the recor...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Is this the kind of set up you're contemplating?[/quote]I do not know what it is and what he was trying to accomplish. On the picture the TT’s looks like Micro 2000 or 3000 and another TT that I do not know. Micro 2000/3000...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] The bass system had the two pairs of drivers facing each other into a 12" wide 6ft tall 'slot'. The drivers were open to the rear. I think this had been put together just prior to the show.[/quote] Ah, the slot-loaded, fac...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Which Audio Note product did you hear that you thought so little of? The UK made stuff and the Japanese stuff are very different.[/quote] Guy, I did not really was “thinking” about it. I just wrote down my very initial reac...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I would however be interested to hear the ET transformer. What do you understand of their construction that makes them so well regarded? I see they were made in MA. Do you know the people involved / where they were wo...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] You do make me laugh sometimes! You really do seem to have problems in seeing the merits in anything if it doesn't fully satisfy the very particular performance criteria you set. As a species such inflexibility wouldn't al...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]An earlier iteration I heard with this two tweeter arrangement sounded seamless & enjoyable.[/quote] So, can you elaborate, or ask Kevin to elaborate what is the “two tweeter arrangement” is for and why he was not able ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I meant the upper end of the LF horn response. Firing it downwards at the floor as they do and then expecting good performance at 200-300Hz in the listening position is a tall order. There may also be some confusion where ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Isn't 330 ohms a little low as a plate load for an ECC83/12AX7 to be running into? 330K ohms perhaps?You often ask what is wrong with a given speaker installation, I thought you might be doing the same here. Keeping us on...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I agree its terrible, but the concept they are talking about sounds familiar and it would seem they'd be achieving some of the effect by adding in NXT panels in some way.They invite interested parties to email them. T...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]It does seem that with DHT's how the filament supply is arranged has a huge effect on the resulting sound. [/quote]
Could you elaborate on that “huge effect on the resulting sound”? What does it means and how did you...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]A few months ago, iirc, you linked to a Canadian? amplifier which seemed to be made as or perhaps could be applicable for DSET use but I can't find the link. Can you remember where its is (or what it was called)?[/quo...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I saw this turntable while over at the show in Munich. It is called Air Force 1. Allegedly there are Micro Seiki people behind it. There might be some truth in that.A Micro for the 21st Century?[/quote]The Designer of that ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Where does that leave the potential of magnetic tape for delivering good sound? There is physical contact but it is fairly constant in nature.[/quote] I do not consider magnetic tape as “available source” anymore. Tape can ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I'm not really concerned whether passive eq no feedback pre-amps have recently become fashionable. I've been using them for 15-20 years. They've always sounded more natural to me. Most commercial implementations that I...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Some of it, (the current speakers and some of the amplifiers) are in my view, not outstanding. Other items, (the big preamp, phono stage, cartridge, MC transformer, silver cables and largest power amps are exceptionally goo...

Hi Romy,
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. The highly recommended one over here is the Graham Slee Jazz Club. http://www.gspaudio.co.uk/preamps/jazzclub.htmHowever I want to try to get the old LEAK tube preamp to work first....

[quote user="guy sergeant"]The Ultimate turntable only needs to provide for one arm. The ultimate arm. Why compromise its performance with various inferior arm designs.[/quote] Well, certainly a single ultimate arm would be a good thing but I still w...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I used to work for a valve amp making company and we had a little 2 stage phono amp that sounded far better than the 834 with passive eq, no feedback etc. It also cost less than the EAR.I can send you the schematic if you w...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I have listened to these loudspeakers at 3 different HiFi shows. To me they produce what seems to be an uncontrolled mass of woody & papery sounding resonances. However, I haven't heard them being played in co...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...
