When people visit me I ritually ask them to offer critiques to Sound they hear in my room...[/quote]What do you expect? Most audiophiles have absolutely no idea from reproduction of the real thing. More or less they bl...

Today every Design (even the most stupid ones) will have - or have - a Fan group. High End Audio actually used to have a goal:
Perfect reproduction of the sound of real music performed in a real space. That was found difficult ...

If not they, then who?The Cat[/quote]Romy, I know, you are one of the very rare guys in Audio who want to push the curtain, to improve reproduction and to serve good knowledge to the mass of discriminated Music Lovers....

I thought about this for many years... but, to make the story short:I agree with that idea for Loudspeaker manufactures, this makes a bit sense, but even here you will have experiences, which will make you die 10 years earlier.Avant-Garde for example...

Some years ago I was in Dubai, my friend there is (or was) a serious Audiophile and had a lot of stuff. So we once decided to visit the biggest Audio Shop there, I was expecting very much, I thought, "here" I will see all those super expensive units....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]We are at severe devaluation of reference points and nowadays any Moron with a rudimental knowledge of HTML and a few vocal cronies can become a “reputed manufacturer”. [/quote]Hi Romy, it is even worse. Based on the high n...

We are in a new chapter of High end:
Copies
Well Tempered: Schroeder
Triplanar : Talea
DaVinci : Reed
What do they have in common?
No own idea
No new calculation
Cheap Arm wands (wood)
Aggressive marketing via Interne...

Hi Romy,yes. But I think, too much is covered from useless blabbering. Too much reading of written lines without any information.The future is to get "it" fast, quick, pure, right from the "Hello, I am Mary" greeting. And it has to be paid per minute...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] If one wish to use sexuality of woman to promote audio product then change the company name to Vagina Sound. [/quote]Don't worry. In a few years the Cable manufacturers will offer Telephone hotlines - similar to Telephone ...

Even today. For some. When those Believers are Audiophiles.I know a lot of intelligent people who think, that their LP12 is easily among the top performers of today. Or Transrotor, Clearaudio, Schroder Arm or whatever. When they don't understand what...

When I read the forums I think, there is a coming back from Idler wheels. You know, these units which have the maximum contact for distortion (idler direct to the bearing into the platter). The Radio stations replaced them as fast as possible when DD...

Unfortunately this will be a rare unit based on price and I would love to listen to it. I know the L2R and LL2 and I was really impressed from the LL2.A "review" today is always more or less the same writing. I can't imagine, that there is really som...

Partially I understand Srajan – he writes for idiots and he writes at a level to be understood. Does it mean that Srajan journalism shall not be called idiotic?

Well, in a way it is pretty simple. Every audiophile started at a different level. Let‘s say, with more or less some units which he found in the Hardware-To-Die-From List.
Sooner or later he changes, spends some more money and ...

Well, the Magazines are more or less an advertising tool for the Manufactures and their Importers. They don‘t write for the customers, they write for the other Party.

It would be much easier to name some useful reviews instead to rant about written BS which became standard today. In future we will get a new "Rating" System.Not for components, no, it is for Reviewers.For example:Complete-Master-BS-Class: Jonathan V...
