These Hifi Shows remind me always to that one:
That's an old cartoon.
Today we can replace the first price "....excellent cartridge for $10389" ----> It's also available ...

Something new, probably a reliable unit (the Glaess Audio showed sometimes problems with their plastic parts, rollers, filters.....)Klaudio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning MachineVery comfortable, no plastic and important: You only need distilled water (c...

Well, there are different Models from Rockport out there .... and I also listened to the latest version Sirius III. Based on the technical specs (heavy 30 kg platter, air bearing horizontal, vertical) I thought it must be super sonically. But when I ...

The Rockports have a very light platter and a carbon Arm....the one I listened to was the latest, it had simply no Bass reproduction, nada, nothing and the Arm resonances are also inferior to any energy transfer from any cartridge. The lead wires are...

Well, as usual, we can read all over what one likes or dislikes....each his own of course. But, we can not read why someone did like or did not like something.Same for me of course, but it would be helpful to offer a kind of "priority" (or whatever o...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, that is funny that you are stressing my SX8000 or even mention it, if you ever invest the effort to read the site, or at least the thread then you would understand how out of context your manner. The AF1/Micro is kin...

Next month I will visit the High End Show in Munich and of course, I am ready for a sonic experience which is 45x better than live (sonic revolutions written about in our mags) butI found an interview with Gordon Holt from the year 2007. I'll copy it...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Hm,… and how many $90.000 screwdrivers that do not perform as good as $9 screwdrivers you think you will be able to sell? In the audio industry however it works wonderfully. There were many examples when audio products beg...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, my question to you guys: what techniques you use to filter out just wana-to-sound-intelligent audio people what you are engage in random let say phone conversation? Did you develop any practice to recognize that the per...

The reason for posting is in a way relatively simple, some of us got the impression a few years ago, that it is not sufficient to be willing to pay any price to get a real superior unit. No matter what we will pay, in a way any commercial constructio...

A private Project is finished.
Some record collectors and serious Listeners (RCA Living Stereo, Decca...) wanted the best Phonostage to...

Well, it depends on the concentration of alcohol of course, also some records are softer than others (mainly reissues)....I used some time LADS from Germany, it is without alcohol, at the moment I have AIVS enzyme cleaning but overall my favorite is ...

When I started with Analog there were only a few record Cleaning Machines avaialble, I bought a VPI 16.5 with my first turntable.
Now, with the analog revival the last 10 years much more units are available now.

[quote user="mem916"]Actually this picture doesn't say much with the cantilever and stylus unloaded. Can you take another picture with it on a record surface, with the VTF set in the range Ortofon suggests. And take it edge on from the outside of ...

I shot a Pic from a Turntable, the owner bought a brand-new Ortofon cartridge this week. When I looked at the pic I saw that the angle is not the angle Framer recommends. It is not a super sharp picture, because the focus adjustments were on a differ...

I think it is quite helpful to have some information about VTA in general.In the 50's there was no cutting standard, that means, every Label did cut their records the way they wanted ( the angle for Mercury, RCA LS, Decca etc. are all different). At ...

I think, Romy's Site is the best site about that discussion worldwide. Not because it shows you how to build a top turntable, it shows very clearly that the knowledge about what-is-responsible-for-what is simply no longer existing. It was replaced co...

Last year I had the chance to listen to the Vitus SP-102 Phono Stage. When I remember right, it was ok, some of the better modern Phono Designs. It wasn't as thin and dead as Pass Phono for example, but it was also not able to go out of the way in re...

In the last 10 years I had some chances to visit owners with very expensive Systems (>500.000,-- $) and all they had the same in common:
Absolutely no idea about real High End or Music reproduction and I mean non, nada, nothing, they went to a d...

It is more or less in the same direction like any Product Placement ( some call it review) from that group who lives from sales. That means, it is always the same "direction":
Rule No 1: Compare the object with something similar which is much...

I listened to exactly that combination for a longer time (Wilson Alexandria + ML3...) and the "review" (let's replace it with product placement) is the same joke than Harley with ML2.2 linked with the Magico Speakers (simply THE mismatch)....

The normal audiophile has a problem when he marries first and wants to add a good Stereo System later.One of my friends did it right, he bought his system first and married later, before he did that he showed all to his girlfriend and said "You know,...

Cultural visits are no problem in GB, surviving their food is a different chapter. I recommend to invest some time in food research (what is what...)...Bavaria in South Germany is indeed worth a trip, Munich is great, relaxed, friendly and the food i...
