I don't think Romy is interested in surround sound and back channels, but he might well add a treble channel firing in a different direction than his ribbon tweeters, so he could try to get the space and "harmonics spread" he can experience from his ...

If you face audio as the means to get everything that was recorded, then you need no high-end devices, get some professional gear and you're done. But if you assume audio as a means to get from the recorded music the essence that better com...

Romy criticizes the absurdity of taking the "sound" of a live performance -of some serious music- as the rule against which to measure an audio system's performance. There's no way reproduced sound can be a perfect copy of natural sound.However there...

so I'm not sure if it's correct following the sound files or not. I got both files, the tones and the key, from the same website I posted earlier, so I suppose they did it right.As soon as I started the test and noticed how it was designed, the ...

I've known that the website is on maintenance works, it should open as expected later today or maybe tomorrow. In any case once stated the X are marking the "pure fundamental hearer" choice, the results using the key chart you provided are ...
|
|
for the sounds being made up of a fundamental and overtones going in opposite directions. You'd need to know if the X are for the fundamentals, so you'd be a "fundamentals listener" if having many "correct" answers, or if the X mark the overtones, in...
|
|
You can get the file with a table and explanation to interpret the results from here. You'll see that depending on your choice of the sound going up or down in frequency, the table assigns a B or an U to your result for each test tone and gives you a...

some months ago. It was posted at AA about a year ago or so. I keep the "solutions" if someone interested wants to know his scoring and how much of a "fundamentalist" or "overtonist" is.The only interesting thing about it is how being one or the othe...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, this is interesting. I my case nether neither CEC nor Bidat affect other of the tuners. Lavrys do but not Bidat. Try to put ferrite on ALL Sansui inputs: antenna, power cord, output cables. I have 3 bids on each leg of ...
|
|
So I thought my tuner weren't properly adjusted. It has not been serviced nor recently aligned, I have no proficient technicians around who I depend to let them put their hands into the tuner. The damn thing always picked up Bidat's and CEC...

I think this Mike is the same guy that is/was an Audio Asylum member that years ago had the Tenor amps driving some of those terrible sounding Kharma speakers, then traded them for some Magico or whatever and now seems to have the Alexandrias... I be...

I'm sorry to read that. It could be possible that it's a transparent HP amp if using high impedance phones like HD600, but then it'd be of no use to me, since the phones I'm liking more lately, which I'd like to know how far can go with some fine-tun...

Once I've assumed my speakers system into this house won't ever be able to deliver what I wish to accomplish, I have kind of downgraded my exigences and I'm more and more listening to headphones. For the last few months I've been trying different hea...
|
|
I could live happily with a 2 or 3 way system which were above 95dB/w to be used with some SET amp in the 20-30wpc range, covering just from about 60Hz to 16KHz, provided it fits a domestic, shared-purpose room. I'd only ask for right tone, effortles...

WaveLab won't play them either, which is very strange since they were "created" with that software. The only software playing those files, are they .w64 or .wav, is Sony's Sound Forge.Funnily enough I more "saw" the differences looking at the meter b...
|
|
Hi Romy,I've downloaded the files, which have the w64 extension. This AFAIK is a propietary Sony's Soundforge format. I've played them with that software, but it won't accept playing using the "bypass" to use only souncard's routines and uses Windows...

Hi Peter, thank you very much for the information. Have you had the chance to try the propietary Sansui antenna with your TU-X1? Do you know if it's an indoor or outdoor antenna?Rgrds....

has no lyrics, so no one sings along when it's played. They've raised a contest to find some lyrics for it, so in the Olympics the sportists would sing, but it's a tough call. This is a polarized country and what some people finds dandy others believ...

I don't like Winamp and I use Foobar to play my music files on the computer, in this handicapped second system (is not that the "first" is much more interesting anyway). Since I haven't tried Wavelab myself I can't speak about SQ of both, but in my c...

Enjoyable piece of music indeed. Elegant,smart, with some emotivity and also some of Beethoven's "brio". It didn't sound as if Mr "dissection" Herrewhegge was conducting it hehehe. Thanks for sharing Romy. Enjoyable in spite of the 128 Kbps mp3.Rgrds...

Thanks for sharing. Getting the Badongo thing to work was a bit of a hassle for the file being split in two parts and needing the tool to merge them, but once installed and downloaded, it worked very well. Did you get Premier user? I would pay your s...

Wow Romy, I wish my local stations broadcasted with that quality and I managed to get them with that ultralow noise floor. Really wonderful music and sound quality (in the context of my handicapped computer system).
Were you up to the task to upload...

Really wonderful performance and great sound Romy. Your "tweak" to lower the noise thereshold works nicely. Channels are inversed, but who cares ;-)Thanks for sharing. Regards....
|
|
which hasn't been serviced by Stereo Surgeon, hence the 75R FM input has the normal gain. Right?I still don't know what's the FA7 for. Test signal to align the tuner? Lower gain for amplified antennas? I'll be very thankful if you could give some inf...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]What kind antenna you use: 300R or 75R? What the Sansui’s antenna jack you use? I presume that your “small car antenna” uses 75R coax cable and your use the75Ohm Sansui’s input? [/quote]The small car antenna is connected to...
|
|
The second scope using your tweak is much cleaner and defined. When you believe you've got it and can share it with us, please do, I'll try it too. In my setup getting less noise will be fantastic. But I warn you, I'm technically challenged and I not...

Antonio, I disagree. I found it very good result and it is very much irrelevant how piano ir oe what kind timbres the sax has. Come on, this is some kind crappy jazz-band and in a local bar, how much you expect?

I had some difficulties to have the file sounding. The software I use to play higher than usual bitrate PCMs (20 or 24/88) on kernel mode to bypass Windows processing won't play the file, then I had to use Jetaudio. It was the only one whic...

Some have been used to build box speaker enclosures like aerolam (aluminium alloy I believe), which are pretty dead acoustically, can be moulded and machined, resistent, light (that can be very convenient), and you can finish them brushed ...

Which are huge, they not even sound as the same orchestra into the same venue. I don't know if my computer rig, which I must use to play the 24/88 files, using a pair of SL600 into a very small room, would qualify themselves as a whole injection chan...
