Those are very bad and concerning news. In my very flawed and very low resolving system I can feel the tone you're speaking of, which no other of my sources has. Does it keep the "space thing" the original has? I wish it gets...

IMHO the important is the music, a unique performance of a work you love is really invaluable. I don't care about clicks, or other noises if the life of the music is preserved. But some other people hate those noises and don't mind about processing a...

Imaging is what you experience from a good mono recording, which is closer to reality in a live performance, but kind of narrower. Soundstage is what you get from most hifi systems, a quite false illusion of music happening into its own fake, de...

I think they're different things. I have a tubed phono preamp which I've slightly tweaked until it delivers the results I needed. If I had found a SS unit doing the same things for me, I had got it. It's not a matter of tubes being better or wor...

So, my point is that I do not care if one or other company trade their regenerators and that I might get the same or near the same cheaper somewhere else. There is many Class AB power regenerators that are being use in...

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....

You can find a brief description here: http://www.salicru.es/index.php?id=1678&L=2 My unit is a RE-1009 2T, which means has double transformer, but it's not the extra noise filtering model which they call NS. Looking at this I'm quite sure i...

I looks at the statistics page of my site and it looks like there were zillions Netherlandiams visiting the site. I wonder why they don’t say how the Kemp regenerator sounds. The judgment part? Well, this is an easy part....
|

I really can't understand how a company selling a power regeneration device priced well over 2000 or maybe 3000 USD could send you 5 units and being al them "defective". Did I miss anything here?The idea of the Kemp for the Bidat, CEC and m...

[quote user="drdna"]While I think a resonating speaker can add its own musicality to a reproduction, it is clearly adding harmonic distortion, etc. It may be pleasant, but you run the risk of needing differently tuned speakers for each type of ...

Panel loudspeakers? Sound processors and/or Software? Room treatments? It's one of the least informative websites I've come across. If you had more info about them, Guy, please share it with us.Rgrds....

I've found they're slovakian company and regarding the product description, they don't produce the valves, they just make a search and selection of the best current production tubes. So they charge a nice fee for that selection and testing. Not bad.I...

Sure I am!!!! Just tell me where to get those free transfers hahahaha ;-) Unfortunately I don't have interesting dubs from my local broadcasts as yet to share, but hopefully there will be some soon. Maybe in a couple of months, but don't expect great...

I had never seen anything like that. I like their looks. Do they "sound" as expected? I'm fascinated for your efforts with your system. I think I don't have the endurance to go throughout all that, provided I had the time, space, resources and knowle...

I don't know Jessie, but I also have listened to the files several times and I stand on my comments. The file DAC 1 is the one that I find more "loose" with more room defining bass, and DAC2 the one with some sort of better harmonic definition. The o...

which has no low frequencies to speak of, very small room, very insensitive speakers, SS amp... but is the only one that can play 24/88 files, DAC1 file sounds kind of "dated", as if it were recorded in a huge concert hall with tubed electronics and ...

Yesterday arrived the Belkin Synapse cable. I have been listening this afternoon some music, and I'm surprised how this 6ft piece of wire has been able to remove the high frequency crap. Clean, coherent, no false detail anymore... I believe it affect...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] BTW, pay attention that TU-X1 while doing “space” does not change the size of imaging. Pay also attention how sensitively TU-X1 portrays the acoustic environment of each performing hall… BTW, if you use TU-X1 then try...
|
|
then it will be worth exploring. I have always missed in my playback the way the air in a concert hall gets filled of sound, as if notes and specially their armonics were flowing upwards. The TU-X1 does that trick quite nicely, but it's not the same ...

I don't know what I'd do if I were in your position. In mine I'll just add another external USB2.0 drive when the current one is full. I know, no RAID nor auto-backup features, but inexpensive, silent and reliable.If I wanted to have back-u...

The top speed this link can reach is supposed to be 480Mbps, but real speeds for bulk transfer, if no other devices are using the bus, are more in the 40-320Mbps range. I guess that's way beyond any audio files transfer speeds, being 44.1/16 wav...

I think I can afford one of those cables to learn some things. Moreover it would allow me to tell Romy if my AES/EBU cable could be any good for him. Have checked the auction and they still have some more available, but I've noticed that the referenc...
|
|
And that's an optimistic estimation. I know well for my profession. It's possible that the 10% using their brains don't do audio, so within this activity the ratio would be even worse.I've been an ignorant moron for audio matters many years. But fort...

I suspect the APS does more or less the same that my friend proposed. It probably has a class D amp which makes some kind of PWM with a so so smoothing circuit, hence the tooth saw trace of the voltage line, some PS which probably is a swit...

Imagine you buy a cheap professional SS power amp. One of those AB or D class ones which can be bridged to provide 1,5, 2Kw or more. Imagine you feed it with a perfect sinusoidal tone generator set at 60Hz at its signal input, and that you ...

I wonder if you have tried different players to listen to mp3 streams. Maybe you're listening the wma stream.These pieces for violin and piano they're playing right now are wonderful (12:50 your time). I didn't know them. Thanks again...

I go to the WHRB's main page, click on the "Tune in regular stream" button and the stream starts. Right now (13:59 in Spain which is about 9am in Boston) it is a girl singing with a guitar. Unless I'm having the time conversion wrong, the Stravi...

I've tried to listen online to WHRB, they're supposed to be broadcasting the continuation of Stravinsky's orgy, but all I get is a stream with some pop singer. I've checked their schedule and it says nothing about orgys, and lists several shows like ...

As you probably may know, there's an online service provided by Shazam that can recognize music, at least the tracks they've included into their database, even sent by a cell phone. Maybe with some sensitive "tunning" and a way wider database, t...

I've been searching the net looking for some music cataloguing software that allows as much as possible of the following features:- It can look for CD data online avoiding extensive typing of information. I know, there's no such thing for L...
