Musical enjoyment is very much a personal experience, a matter of taste, and a set of idiosyncratic goals and expectations. In a nearly pitch-dark nightclub with flashing strobe lights and watered down Jack Daniels and lager beer splashing liberally...

Well Jessie, it looks like your wish has come true. The Vitavox site went live at 9 a.m. this morning. It has very interesting implications for the compression drivers landscape in that it suddenly makes buying a hi...

This is something I have been at for the last few years, I have tried a few drivers, at the moment some of my favorite are the vintage RCA MI 1443, yes filed coil and some funny cone diaphragm, they are used from 500 hz to 5 khz with a Fostex T...

All Acoustic System or let say playbacks has signature or some kind of own character of sound. That is normal we all accept it and live with it. It is important to differentiate a character of playback from major mistakes of playback, but it is a...

After much research I found the radio that I like. The decision was base mostly on the esthetic: size, color etc, sure I was conserving the circuit but only up to point. The choose when for German Schaub & Lorenz Goldsuper W42. It is 1957 ra...

Hi Mats:
Thanks for the update. I find the Lavry DA-11 to be an interesting unit, not because of all the "features" but because of Mr Lavry's long history producing serous DACs and the consumer-friendly pricing. I do wish that Mr Lavry did...

these are my findings about computer audio after some trial error:1. computer audio is very very hardware/OS/software dependent. computer structure is multi task (time sharing) and using it as a real time single task processor is not easy.even small ...

I started in hi-fi with LPs and I have never stopped using them as my principal source for hi-fi. Some time ago I decided that master tape was better than vinyl, but I could not afford to go that route; so I settled on the next best thing: a cartrid...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]I listened to this talk up to the beginning of the question-and-answer session. I am surprised that this method would really capture the essence of Romy's almighty DPOLS condition. It seems to me that Robbins is very much cent...

Well, I finally found and implemented a digital front end that I can live with. I have been so cynical about digital up to now that I have kept and used an old, cheap Sony player (albeit one actually made in Japan...) because up to now it seeme...

[quote user="drdna"] It is not exactly correct. There is 60 Hz hum eliminated by lifting the ground to the amplifiers. The neutral is connected to the ground prong and chassis in the amps, so I assume it is setting up a loop. However, there is a seco...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]In the end I feel that the PP2000’s softness/politeness is not a liability but opportunity. I certainly not willing to go back to the softness/politeness lacking type of sound and I would like to make my playback to be able...

[quote user="KOTriode"] On dynamic, the 6C33C tube showed its ability to go deep in the bass on Ray Brown trio recording of Soular Energy which is excellent for a 15W SE , the 845 amp can do better, but not by much, but probably because of its 25W ou...

[quote user="op.9"] One thing nobody has mentioned is using the room’s corners. Is this a no no? I’ve been trying use McBean to model a horn exiting into the corner – with a middle ‘mouth’ about 1m squared - and using a conical approximation as the r...

Ari,
I do not think that we recognize the process of “audio designing” as the identical actively. It looks as you peruse to design an amplifier (for instance) as a conceptually well operating system where a set of deferential abstractly-measurable v...

I’ve been thinking about all this electricity stuff…
I’ve stopped using all power conditioning devices since Bush got re-elected, and I consequently left the country to start a new life in the land of 220v/50Hz (this BTW, is not an exaggeration).

[quote user="drdna"]I would not restrict myself to the idea that things need to be a certain way or a certain configuration of the drivers or ports based on theory alone. I think it is important to ask what is interesting about the sound that the new...

I can’t stress now much I am fallen in love with my new PP2000. I was playing it today all day and can’t not see any single thing that I would bitch. I perhaps is missing too much the sound of proper electricity but my feeling is that the new uni...
