I downloaded your file and burned a DVD-A which includes 176/24 Reference Recordings HrX demo files they once made available.
I listened to these on my OPPO SE which has an info display that verifies the recording sample rate, and also...

A few days back I got rid of the 60-year old Germanium glass diodes in the REL detector and put in there the regular 1N4148 4pF low-signal diodes/ it was quite positive improvement. I need to be said that detector diodes are not the regulars diodes b...

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

I think I have had enough time with this phono stage now to make a few remarks about it. In keeping with the spirit of this website I am not recommending this component, just reporting on it.

I hate Italians. They do the best women in the world; they have one of the best cuisines in the world; they use one of the best languages in the world but they still where shamelessly eliminated in the first round of the 2010 World Cup. Assholes!...

They certainly need more room to fit things. That is a lot of silver boxes!

Hi folks. Who ever listened to Living Voice Vox Olympian Speakers might've liked them as much as I do.
They got a great realism in their projection. Some things are obvious, some even claimed.
Its claimed to use excellent drivers, high quality ...

Horns are of course some kind of band pass filters with different kind of ripples at lover cutoff and beaming at upper cut off, according to horn type.

Wow, THAT IS BOLD!!!! The 45Hz how from 7” throat – that is very-very cool and very positively-obnoxious.

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

Dealing more with Sun Audio SV-2A3 kit it amassed me how bad the kit was. The guys made very cheap, in fact I hardly believe that this company has anything to do with Japan – it looks more like K-Mart level of amplifier. I heard a number of very posi...

So, I give up of trying this cable construction experiment. I found some who already did a test with a similar construction and once a higher shielding material was placed it killed the cotton in oil magic, and it sounded like a "regular' shielde...

[quote user="Steradian"] One area where standards have failed is in HDTV. I have no sympathy for the morons who decided to have 2 standards, 720p and 1080i. It is clear they prostrated themselves to corporate bribery to allow such to be called ...

One question that I still have regarding the
L-Pad on the MF Channel is why you did not lose more gain at the filter before
the MF driver stage? By my reckoning a resistor change here would shunt
more signal and you would ...

It's still first order since you have more than two octaves overlap.
But it's a two pole quasi first order as well. I use this trick
sometimes. The problem with first order is that excursion continues to
rise below the crossover point, which of co...

I wonder how myth in all those digital gismos and how little what we considering in digital is obvious and self-explanatory in reality has not relation to Sound. Also, how much those people with who just learned how to solder and let their blind (and...

Right. I do not mean to suggest that my
own solution for arriving at an acceptable global result using the
Milq full-range was not a short-cut with regrettable new weaknesses
(or just missed or postponed opportunities). But I am curious (wary)...

My journeys with Melquiades made me to look at the problems wider: if to form a truly High-End objective, for amplification for instance, then does a “service” that can satisfy such an objective exists? Well, not really. Let look into this.

am curious (wary) about what you mean by the “one-sided” results of using a DHT

What I meant is that practically no one uses "a good DHT...
