I had no chance to listen to his latest Designs (I know his L2R, LL2 preamps and the ML2.1..) but probably he wanted to realize his latest ideas (who knows) or he realized that in some parts of the world his existing units are simply too cheap compar...

Just a few lines to the "Performance" of this piece of wood on strings for 7k $I listened to the Schroeder Reference + SQ and some custom made ones which were normally not available (Schroeder model blahblah with Valhalla cable etc.)(of course you ca...

I think it is wider then just Schroeder arms. Did you see ANY discussions about the Sonic Quality of hyped products? [/quote]No. the typical audiophile has the following tatoo onto his forehead "I-buy-I-Am"[quote user="R...

All those "discussions" about the Sonic Quality from Schroeder Arms are similar to ask a Blind for the direction.(or to ask for a lab report from the latest hyped DIY unit)...

'...... and everyone keep telling me that it is a wonderful cartridge....'Here we have another perfect example (the other ones I would put in the same box are LP12, Garrard, Schroeder Arm) that in the High end scenery today brain/knowledge was replac...

Well the marketing power can change dirt into gold, we all know that. I have no problems with manufacturers who offer "such" units. We, the customers (especially here in this Forum) are fixed on the quality of sound. Some years ago there was a meetin...

When we have these discussions we should be aware on which side who is:
On one side we have the manufacturer, who has to live from his product. That is very important for our thinking and our conclusions.
At the same side we...

My wishes:- Post in Forums from Morons, those who pray in front of their components, those who look for price tag first, all those who go on the nerves of others with their nonsense: They can post their message, they can view their messages, but God...

....of selling "High" Fi:Well, I don't think so. When you want to sell something like "this" you need a kind of Religion.The Religion here is: "I can hear the bearing(s) from other Arms and I can't stand it. That one has no bearing and you hear that"...

What is the main difference in High End today and 10 years ago?Today it is possible to launch average products into the market via Internet Hype from DIY groups. No engineer would ever create such a Design which changes performance daily depending on...

The discussion was about a German Raven Turntable and what next Turntable should be chosen when the owner don't want to have it anymore....

There are a few manufacturers out there, Minus-K, Halcyonics, Vibraplane...The Vibraplane is a good unit for the money, I have no problems with it and it does the job the way it should.Those Vibration units work different from construction and are ve...

There is (or was?) a Speaker builder in South Korea I think, Mr. P.Y. Parks. He made the Koechel K300 Horm speakers.There was a report in Sound Practise some time ago. I heard, he is still active, but I have no more information...

I wrote, "When you have knowledge about chassis and their pricing..."when you have no knowledge, then nothing is an indicator of quality in drivers anymore etc. Or when you are a buddy from a manufacturer or even worse, a writer.And what I meant is n...

I am afraid, I have problems with that forum. Beside that I agree with your judgement, I read it only – and rarely – only with sunglasses. I am absolutely sure, reading that “forum” creates eye cancer.Most wealthy audiophiles have an absolu...

Even when you go for a 30K Speaker and you have knowledge about chassis and their pricing, you will discover, they are rarely more than 160 $/piece.And they sound like that. But they eye is cheated with an excellent high gloss paint or expensive wood...

I think, today we have a new problem with Vinyl. The quality Control in or after the cooling process. Most of the reissues today (or probably regular records too) are sensitive to clicks, pops and other noises. Or they run silent at the beginning...

I like to read such "reviews", I read them for 17 years now and it impresses me really, that in combination with the "perfect medium" a sonic revolution is fact. Monthly. When it is true, digital reproduction is probably now 34 time...

I never knew, that the 103 fanatics are ruling the world (ok, not really, but they try) until I made the following:
One of my friends had someone in his area who is a cartridge maker (or repairs them), I ordered 4 Denon 103 R w...

Uhhh, honestly, I write it very seldom, but reading AV-Guide can create eye cancer.For the regular audiophile only super high priced units are the road to sonic "heaven" (whatever it is)...

Thanks for the good description how to use this Magic Eraser, haven't read about it before.
Thanks for the friendly advice for alcohol which I did forget for many years.My focus was on the very expensive cleaning fluids in these tiny bottles and...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The point is that now is 30-40 years after the best commercial tuners were made and nowadays there are a lot of ability to make the tuner WAY better then when it use to be. I do not think that FM is very lucrative direction...

I think, it is useful to go back a little bit in time, when talking about Tuners. In the 50‘ and 60‘s records (and the their Equipment) was VERY expensive, it was a Hobby for the upperclass. For general public the Tuner was the main unit to...

Romy,no, I am not one of those who bash Wilson. I respect his work, his business and his products. I listened to some of his models a few times, but this here is about reviewers...I am a little bit frustrated. I am a customer who want to go ahead, wh...
