Adrian, although I find plenty of "mono" recordings that sound better to me in "mono", I will always take good stereo over good mono, other factors being equal. Sure, some "stereo" is so poorly done that it just does not work as stereo.&nb...

Value can exist at pretty much any price, yes. I should certainly have qualified all that with a "before Robert Parker came along", shouldn't I? He of course brings an added absurdity that hasn't (yet) infected audio reviewers, which is that damnable...

well i never thought i would be opening such a pandora's box with this combination.firstly,the drivers have the plastic surrounds(whew,lucky!i know the diaphragms are potentially harder to source than the drivers)what indicators or criteria would mak...

It is very good that PS Audio when to the direction they went but I think those designs need to mature and the requirements for the transports like this need to be refined. I think is a year it will be more transports like this and the competition w...

N-set, you may remember that from the beginning I encouraged you to try a wall mount, for all the reasons you have just cited, and this approach seems even more obvious if the walls are concrete/masonry vs. floor joists and sheet subflooring, not to ...

This stuff has been stuck in my mind for some time now, working around in there against my ongoing experience, against what I am now running. The goal is a more dynamic presentation with better spectral balance, with the emphasis on LF and [more] cor...

[quote user="Vasyachkin"]waveguides as far as i can tell are designed to equalize the power response.
for example if we are talking about a typical 2-way speaker with a 7" midbass and 1" tweeter then there will be a discontinuity in the power respo...

Well, Chris, my transformer is amorphous type but I would have difficulties to comment about the progress of the burning. For the first couple weeks when “Melquíades” was born I have difficulties to “get” how to load the output stage properly a...

I asked Dave Peck of Avid (formerly Euphonix) a few questions regarding the Model Two (otherwise known as the PMI). The responses he received from Keith Johnson (one of the original designers of the PMI, head of Reference Recordings and chief design ...

I have some “issues” with the 176.4kHz idea, particularly knowing the most of the RR recordings were not recorded in 176.4kHz. I am glad that they did not go for X48K format but stuck with X44 (I more like the Linn’s 88.2KHz “Studio Masters” idea). S...

This weekend I was told that there is a new power conditioner out there: Dmitri from Running Springs Audio. I never heard the company and have no idea that they are, what they do and what the stand for.
A quick search lead me to number of posi...

[quote user="Paul S"]Andy, I will say right away that I am not at all set up to "exploit" online music, but this comes across to me as "clean" and "noise free", with some nice spacial effects, basically devoid of harmonics, and not much in...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Sorry for being so nasty, Romy,but I meant connecting the CEC TLO with the Lavry 924 via the dCS 974.[/quote]
I do not see you being nasty, where did you get this from?
May I ask you- what you proposed to drive CEC TLO into dCS ...

[quote user="Stitch"] Well, I made an interesting observation by accident. I didn't know those Emmlab unit (later I read that Mr. Terrific [Tin] made the distribution in USA, but later he switched to something else, which is even more ultra terrific....

Stitch, narrative is very interesting. I never had new Meitner’s DACs. I hear it countless time and each time it was very bad sound but it was always was in context of other brainless people sound and I do not know if ...

With all magnificence of the new 924++ DAC it have entered the second week of the Nichicon KZ playbook. It was completely predictable and highly expected and now the DAC sound very funny.
The bass is fully developed already. The DA924 always was phe...

It was somewhere in 1998-99 I believe. A local dealer, Dan
Chadwick called me and told that if I swing by he will show me something that I
never imagine. The dealer has a spectacular
listening room, I mean beyond believe spectacular, with no money...

Oliver, I do not think you understand "faithfulness" in the same way as I do. Ironically out differences of views are not linguistics but rather in the realms of objectives and intentions.
You are right and there are a number of companies who hide t...

When I read raves from low powered amps with such speaker designs I ask myself, is it product placement or is there a different kind of listening among Americans, Japanese, Europeans...?
I made a visit to an audiophile with Lamm LL1, ML3 and Wilson ...

Hm, some very mysterious things are going on today similar to the observance of the Bethlehem star… :-)
I was commenting before that Lavry 924 is very slightly brighter then I feel a neutral peace of equipment should be. Once again it is not HF disg...

[quote user="steverino"]Remember that Thomas can
hear higher frequencies so you may have to adjust the spectral balance of the

Jessie, there is another solution that you might consider, that might be viewed as compromise for one-side as might not be view is compromised from other side. If to allowed ourselves to close eyes to midbass timing-integration and if the geography o...

A few comments. I think the region that impressed you was somewhere 50Hz-500Hz, the melody range with all those fundamentals. It might appear that it was in the lower end but I think it still was the fundamentals with first overtones. Since you c...

Last few days listening MiniMe with B-2 my patients was running out. With all more or less OK sound my B-2 had wondering eye about imaging. The amp has a minor fluctuation of gain between the channels and this fluctuation can be addressed by …kic...

I recently made some highly attractive changes with the way in which I use S2. Now, since the S2’ top got cleaned up the universal misery of universe bothers me tremendously. :-)
Really, the S2 runs in my 400Hz horn up to 12.5kHz and the S2’s 12.5kH...

The thread is derivation form the previous thread about the Dima's amplifier.I was trying to gradually approach better and better loudspeakers with the Zarathustra amplifier but today I decided to hit with the Zarathustra the pinnacle of low sen...

Recently, I would say the last 2-3 years, I detected a very foolish tendency that audio people are brewing within themselves. A typical today’s audiofool holds within itself a hope about existing of a “secret”, no discovered yet, SS high power amplif...
