In reply Paul,
My original post specifically mentioned that my comments perhaps did not apply to you. I am well aware from reading many of your posts that you have reached a level of maturuty and experience to be able to identify nuances(vecto...

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

Found some interesting comments on an independent web site, Twogoodears.
I'll copy it, it is from 2009 with original lines from Arthur Salvatore and a comment from Stefano Bertocello - Twogoodears owner -, we will n...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is a strange felling I have after reading it again. I feel like somebody cooked a beautiful and superbly testy meal, using the most refine cooking techniques and the best ingredients and then, a person took this entire m...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]it is highly possible that you are correct but it was exactly the point of my in initial post - the people worship the clock upgrades but 99% of then just throw in the new clocks, or do exactly what I did. [/quote]And I ...

Dear Romy,I suggest the following, if you are interested: Select three recordings of varying quality; copy ten minutes of each of the three recordings to Redbook CD; send to me by air mail the CD that contains three ten minute tracks; include i...

I was slowly looking for a compression driver that would go in my Fundamental Chanel down to 200Hz. The YL Acoustic 550N attracted my attention. Then I realized that it is the narrow throat type of the drivers, aka WE555, not exactly that I would...

Actually I got interest in the idea of having remote control attenuator on my ULF amplifier, I juts need to find a company who will be able to do it for me. For whatever reasons audio people feel bass channels have to have an attenuator. This is alwa...

[quote user="Johan Dreyer"]I call this the "pulsating room effect" Here there is a sensation of the air in the room actually pulsating to the sound.This is not boom but a sense of sheer energy being transmitted.Unlike music simply being played way to...

Hm you are true in the “terra incognita” territory as far as I concern. The preamps are mystery to me. All my attempts to make any decently sounding preamp or even buffer failed. To me Placette was truly God sent and if I got burned that I am looking...

[quote user="berlinta"]People call me after listening to a system with a vinyl front end that included one of my arms. They liked what they heard, that's it. But I don't shy away from direct comparisons to other top contenders. [/quote]

Yesterday, I finally got around to replacing the Schottky diodes in my unit with some original edition Fairchild "Stealth" diodes, so named because they are supposed to be "undetectable" in the circuit with respect to noise (unlike the Schottkys). ...

Something fun to think about is that the length of this sort of cable can change the sound, due to internal "reflections", this sort of thing. I've read a lot about it, as it affects the "communications industry", and laboratories, and it gives me he...

Last week a local audio guy come to my place to listed some music and I played to him my Wand’s Bruckner 4 in video room. With all “phenominality” of the performance I need to confess that sound was horrible. The guy did not complain, so I did not st...

There is nothing in playback system that is as devastating as remote control. A remote control is something that easily converts a listener into a zombie audio-Moron™ – thanks God the there is very fertile contingent of candidates among audiophi...

Romy , I don´t think this is a typical ups unit , but a little more advanced than a typical ups . I think typical UPS does not have double-conversion , at least here in Chile . Note that Pure Power claims "via double conversion technology ..." in som...

I can contact them again and ask for a price quote for the SLC. These people don't do audio at all. When I contacted them for my RE-1009/2T they couldn't understand how it was possible that any audio equipment could take any profit of their products....

As I promised, I am informing about the fate of the Baby Melquiades project. The Baby Melquiades was armed for few days with new 60H transformer. The result was not positive. It sounded OK but it was not even close to the Melquiades sound. I wa...

I would say that nothing has changed since last night. The sound still a bit harder then I would like it to have. This hardness is very interesting and in way different, it is not type of the hardness that I would discard as “bad” attribute of sound ...

A lot of people ask me about those drivers and I’ll try to compile my vision about them. I did try most of the possible tweeters: dome tweeters with cloth cones, varies type of hard metal domes, compression drivers with aluminum, titanium, phenolic a...

As late as the 1960s every self-respecting hi-fi nut had a "secret recipe" for "speaker dope". My own guru would not give me his exact recipe for speaker dope but insisted that developing the stuff was a rite of passage I had to go th...

speaking for myself of course I am not in agreement with that. I have hundreds of records and the one mentioned seemed the outstanding example. May that be as it is, and getting back to your cooking and apples, the one example mentioned is one VERY s...

Mr H,I had a look at your drivers on your links - very interesting! Wish I could hear your work there, I can imagine it is rather special.That said, I must address a couple of your points:1) The safety issue:Dave is about the most "sound uber alles g...

If to compose oneself, the Reality is a restless, moving awareness that does not stay satisfied. How much is "improvement" and how much is change-for-itself is not so easy to judge at any given time. Horns or direct drivers, we want to create and r...
