I did one such newsletter many years ago at university; one description I recall was "have you ever - inadvertently or otherwise - tasted your own earwax? Well, embrace and amplify that thought, add tannins that could strip paint at five paces and ga...

I absolutely agree; whilst one's palate does expand its capacities over time, and whilst experience leads wine professionals to - on the whole - be able to predict what a young wine will do, I know that I myself cannot usefully taste more than about ...

I suppose this further erodes my "credibility" regarding the "tube sockets" hysteria, but it is what it is, so here goes:Today I finally had the right combination of alone time and motivation (not to mention great electricity) and I got around to swa...

I do not have any disappointment that there was no serious public overview of ML2. I have quite low esteem to audio public generally and to the people who facilitate public overview in particularly. It has nothing to do with cynicism but rather with ...

Say whatever you want but some of the vintage drivers has
it. Not all of them but some of them do and the question how to get it. I
always has been an enthusiast of midbass horn and I am very much the enthusiast
now but there are some topological ...

Ok, let dive a little bit further into my examination of the subject of Lamm ML3
What is important is to undusted that my view less targets the Lamm ML3 but rather it targets the ML3 as a representative of entire class of amplifiers. When I to...

Wojtek, since you have invoked me by name, I will respond directly to associated remarks, while Greg and Romy have answered to other points as well as I might have done.I believe I have mentioned that I have been at hi-fi fairly seriou...

Funny for in my DSET case it is mostly about a primitive equalization in MF. Well, almost.
I god a few other versions of 2A3, one more 604 and a few 45. I in fact like the 45s, even though with my attenuator wide open I have ~2dB less gain the...

I pitch for many times an idea that most of audio people never experienced any truly great level of high-end audio reproduction that might be a reference for their hi-fi objectives. Experiences from audio installations and live sound are different an...

I never knew that it will be so much fun. As I started the basement cleanup project I did kind of remotely conceptualize that I will try to make a winter pipe smoking place. Instead I discover in my house a new listening room that I have to tell you ...

[quote user="rowuk"]Maybe a lot of what Romy or Harlanov hear is determined by what they have conditioned themselves hear in a specific way? Maybe we are all victims of our own "conditioning" and need to address this first? What IS amazing to me is t...

I got my pair of F120A by-the-book bookshelves a few weeks ago and yes, in the beginning they were very much "compressed" sounding. Things improved a bit over time, but the low treble (which gives instruments their "color") is still recessed. So I ...

Roman.
This last "venture " of yours is most welcome .A lot of of the people I know and most of the listeners from audio shows are always surprised when small monitors produce big bass and try to
impress with big sound. I never liked this "pushe...

Thanks for your comments, Romy.Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]No, you did not do before and you are not doing it still. I think the problem with that you are expressing is that you have no desire to EXPLAIN FOR YOURSELF what you do. Forgot about the amplifiers, speakers and the ...

[quote user="Dominic"] i thought of it as soft and chalked it up to not being as strong a motor as was needed and begrudgingly accepted that perhaps 'field coil' did not mean 'powerful motor'. I'm starting to think otherwise…[/quote]
Yes, it is exac...

Very nice, Keith, thanks. The most interesting would be to access the “Absolute Tone” capacity of the Gamma. Frankly I feel that with TADs it should not be very too advanced as they are at BMS/TOA domain, only with a little TAD syntactic twist. Even ...

Hi, Touch.
I see what you are trying to do. However, I think that you have reached a point in your craziness when you need to stop using off the shelf accidental horn solutions. I feel you need to recompile your system as a custom installation that ...

I was very sorry to learn that Fane has closed up shop.
Their very client-oriented service was totally out of time, even for England.
About a year ago, expecting a big "NO" for an answer, they actually agreed to fire up the "assembly line" (?) ...

How difficult is it to find 437As good enough for a phonostage? For commercial applications is it a dead tube. WE might produce it again when they stated to redo the tubes but the existence of the Russian 6C45P pretty mu...

I think first, it needs clarifying that rich is only planning to use the driver from 50 to 250.. it will surely play, and play well, up into the k's.. I'd be very surprised if it didn't play all the way up to the 4kHz of most phenolics.. as to t...

Serenechaos,
You did not mention one another ugly fact the all recommendations about the “quality” of components have any validity in a relatively short distance. It might be no true if we are taking about vintage element but the contemporary produc...

[quote user="Paul S"] I really would not know where to start with most of the crap out there, since most commercial SS sounds like it makes "music" by inhaling it. But I've heard "acceptable" units from those listed, albeit in some poor environ...

[quote user="serenechaos"]How does it suck? It does not generate second and fourth harmonics? It did change something else in a negative way? There was an unexpected negative effect on Sound, which you don't think can be "fixed?" Sometimes it's good ...

Yes, it is a common deal and it is possible very frequently to get a bunch of the Vitamins Q for very little money. Thanks God that no one from Sprague pay (paid) to market-makers to drool about the Vitamins’s sound and therefore the wide majority of...

Antonio,
Reading your comments, I would like to ask if you did not possibly confuse the names of the two files, assiciating your comments to the other file in each case? (I just checked to make sure that I did not make this same mistake, as it wou...
