I think you also mentioned that you were involved with the Voyd (which for a Pink Triangle user as I was back then, looked very charming). I recall Voyd being recently acquired by Audio Note UK; are you affiliated with them?Anyway, I actually wa...

Hi Guy,Thanks very much for providing me your insights on the SP10.I have to confess when I initially read your comments I could not help but be astounded that a person involved with a Brit belt driven, light weight, suspended turntable would be usin...

a Hong Kong-based company DIY Hifi Supply is selling RIAA EQ modules, the first modulesthat I have seen at 10kOm. It is something that Thorsten did not do commercially… but if the silks sound good then it might be VERY interesting. Is anyone kno...

The frustrating thing is that those who know "how" to do things often have too strong an idea of "what" to do...perhaps you should offer an internship to someone young and idle keen to learn...?...

Generally it is very uncharacteristic subject in audio: the destiny of audio reproduction. Destiny might be only with something that has its own lifespan. Audio reproduction is in a way an imitation and therefore should hot have own destiny because i...

[quote user="Stringreen"] I am a professional violinist. When I play in Avery Fischer Hall my instrument sounds quit different than when I play it at home and again different still when I play it in Carnegie Hall. Instead of neutrality, perhaps one ...

Reading Paul’s reply I came across to asking myself of what we call painting. Let get for instance any famous works, let I be the early Dali’s portrait of his sister “Figure at Window”. What we call as the “Figure at Window”?

[quote user="Paul S"] So, here we are, adrift on the great big sea of audio tomfoolery, without a metaphorical paddle. If we can on the one hand hear any and every change in our systems, then this implies that everything is worth considering. If we a...

I constantly receive emails from people asking me my opinions about audio equipment. I was trying to address it in here:

Hm, the example with Wilson is much more complicated then you think. Wilson are very much misunderstood and mis-presented products. From certain prospective they well worth their money. Still, in context of this thread: problem with Wilson is not Wil...

[quote user="livemusic"] You are absolutely right, saying "audiophile" which is not capable to hear any criticizm about his system…. [/quote]
Well, there is another side of the medal in it. The fact that they are not capable to bear criticism is bad...

Here is an article by Leonard Norwitz that I think some of you might find motivating. I do not know Mr. Norwitz but it sounds like dinked too mach Qvortrup’s coca-cola. Anyhow, although I do not agree with some (sometimes many) of the Mr. Norwitz’s c...

It always amazed me that among the people who circle around audio there is a sentiment that audio might require none-presentational evidences. I look at those full of pomposity and self-assured individuals who would talk about anything and who would ...

[quote user="drdna"] Yes, we are saying the same thing. The problem as I have found it is that transparency is easily recognized and so there is a tendency for audiophiles to focus on this when they try to improve their systems, and this can ma...

It is absolutely amassing how many audio people misunderstand Audio Neutrality. The Audio Neutrality is one of the most import moments of audio reproduction and still it is misunderstood. Not good!
The very first step to begin understanding of real ...

I hate to provide what the audio people call “equipment recommendations”. Whoever has sent me private emails asking me about buying or trying one of another audio component know that I usually suggest do not bother me or propose to them going to hell...

If you thoughtfully read my site then here and there (particularly in the articles about Lamm ML2) you read my “absurd” comments that the best performing system is the system that do best Sound while the power amplifiers not even plugged in the p...

Actually I would like to stay at on the subject of this thread - the benefits of critiques and the benefits of positive perception of critiques. I less care about corporations as they have no personal consciousness but I rather target my attention to...

Manuel, I think you missed the whole point of my post.
I did not say that musicians being better than others just based on the music they play, although I might see rational for some people, including me, to advocate this point. However, in context...

I may have a point on this
some years ago, I had some confidence with the owner of a shop, and he let me use the demo equipment, though in fact my budget didn´t allow to buy him more than a few cheap things.one day I was psycothic listenig to s...

Reading the Stefano Bertoncello's Blog about his trip to Japan I was trying to detect any signs of interesting Sound. It looks like he Stefano was caught by sound of ALE installation in Audio Tekne.

Thirty Hertz,
I do not know it and I do not think that at this site there are any people who are active audio archeology. The site has a few Hungarian members but I do not think they post. If anything try the Audio Heritage forum.
