[quote user="el`Ol"]Hello Romy!
When I listened to the Goebel NXT speaker I was impressed how it can reveal structure or the absence of it at levels where one would really have to concentrate on when listening to a conventional speaker, and I find, ...

The Japanese manufacture Audio Note by the infamous Kondo-San announced a new revolutionary amplifier. The name of the amplifier unfortunately could not be spelled or pronounced in English and therefore the US distributor Mr. Klein calls it “NDiP” or...

[quote user="drdna"]I think that the perception of the Onyx depends on the rest of one's stereo system and the other components one compares it to.When I say the Koetsu is one of the top cartridges in the world, I would say this about most modern aud...

Generally it is very uncharacteristic subject in audio: the destiny of audio reproduction. Destiny might be only with something that has its own lifespan. Audio reproduction is in a way an imitation and therefore should hot have own destiny because i...

Hi everyone Guess what! Just had a visit to this system last night. Upfront, the owner - thank you Klaus again - is a very welcoming and friendly fellow. But also remarkably reasonable and decent. Total absence of any need to show off. You rather nee...

Chris, at this point it is hard to say anything defiantly. Subjectively it sounds like the Super Milq has slightly less HF extension and transient then the regular Milq, although the output transformer of the HF channel of Super Milq runs higher and ...

Tuga,
It is very much NOT about the Point Source. The Point Source is absolutely irrelevant label that was invented by the single driver enthusiasts in order to mentally differentiate their speakers from multi-drivers configuration and in order to j...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]In this case, below 50Hz, I think el`Ol is right to suggest that you consider using DSP as a permanent solution. The SMS 1 is in theory the silver bullet... You just need to find out if you can live with it long-term. Be...
