[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Even though I do understand that advantages to run dedicated operation system but it do not automatically implies that the result will be better.[/quote]No, not automatically. But I believe using a minimalist open source op...

Yes, I was implying the dipole-centric results (open buffers, ports, passive radiators and so on). They all has tendency to “demean” the significance of Sound by introducing the false sense of comfort that reduces the original anxiety and complicity ...

The cut is the beautiful Conchita Supervia is inging Carmen with Gustav Cloez in 1930http://www.mediafire.com/?iijmy0inmmoSorry for the clipping sound – it’s recorded at +3dB at the peaks. The damn SPU with its 3mV output and the 64dB in my phono...

It was on March 1930. Clemens Krauss lead Vienna Philharmonic. After Walter, Bernstein (with Vienna only),Toscanini, Barbirolli, Cantelli, Levine, Furtwangler and Got only knows who esle I finally “got” the Brahms Third! What a Sound Krauss thrown!Th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Now at higher it goes and as louder it gets it has more and more almost some kind of mechanical resonances overlying over sound. Dead tubes would not be doing it. [/quote]... but did you clean your needles? And does this h...

I do not think that anyone would be able to “teach” and I do not thin that there is nothing to teach about the mats. A good “sounding” platter does not require any “actions” from mat and the hard rubber mats do exactly...

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...

I have been pitching about the superior importance of time alignment for years. It is not that I violently insist that people have their channels time-alignment. We kind of free people and everyone do whatever they want. Still, I exercise for years m...

One of my YO186 have developed a dark eye on it’s getter. Even the tube still measures fine and sound fine but I wonder what make some of those tubes to get dart spat of the getter gloss. I have seen it before and do not have any association between ...

Well, I think my Yamaha B-2 is not working well. It slightly cures my ego with MiniMe. I took today the B-2 and drive them with good conventional loudspeakers and it had the same sound –very very howly (and ugly!!!) sound under 200Hz… I wonder, do I ...

Denis,
In the PP 1050 I had better result what I use extra ferrites in deferential modes, or putting ferrites in each individual wire. I never had problem with PP 1050’s dynamics until I begin to add capacitance to the P...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="drdna"]I would like to start a compendium of anecdotal observations of the idiosyncratic nature of COMPONENT PLACEMENTS in the circuit. [/quote]Surely all passive components in the circuit have influence, but I...

[quote user="Paul S"] This may also be a factor in the "randomness" capability, which is really only freedom of movement, and not "randomness", per se.[/quote]
OK, is it “randomness” of “freedom of movement”, the questi...

Took today my first new sauna. Yes, I agree that music is not working with sauna. I however am not sure if no sound at all can’t be used in sauna. I think some kind of new-edgy elevator music with a lot of LF might work quite well. Not that I am look...

[quote user="zanon"]Do you mean that if you begin with digital source, it does not matter whether you use a digital crossover or not since the "damage" has already been done?[/quote]Absolutely not, it is not what I meant. I meant that the only advant...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] OK, I agree – it might be not necessary as PP2000 does produce fine electricity in a convenient package. Furthermore it violates the rule that I try to follow in audio generally: define snick objective and ONLY then re...
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Whoever follows this thread of mine note my exuberant reaction to the new fixed PP2000. What however I discover today is that for the last few days, right after the snow storm, the quality of electricity in my lines is ...

[quote user="morricab"] Now my biggest problem with tone from horns comes from the "cupped hands" horn effect, which is really nothing more than the resonances fromt he horn itself. [/quote]The "cupped hands" is not the characteristics of horn a topo...

You could source used TAD tweeters for ~$1K pair .They sound exceptionally smooth and extended .More so than infamous T-350 and with better "tone" which may be relevant since your 288 are tonaly "dead" according to the Cat. Who knows, he may be right...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]it happens ONLY in the inhalations with improperly integrated drivers. The entire subject of the “improper integration” shall get rid of this possibility. I know that you use EdgarHorn and what I heard it at its best I did ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not know that Lynn Olson and Earl Geddes involved in Levinson’s operation. With all disagreement with those individuals I thought that they are smarter than to deal with Mark Levinson. I hope they did not give him an...

Although, I do admire the café as concept, audio-wide what is presented on the pictures is a damn nightmare, typically in-line with my expectation from that “type” of people. I am sure that you “freaking sounds great” is just your puffed up perceptio...

Actually I need to correct myself. The purist with leaked out fluid do not change sound with the fully filed cables. The completely dried out cans with no residue of the fluid at all do have sonic results. The dried out Purist has a typical unpleasan...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not care about all of Nilsson Pass amps; I feel that all the same and all are very sub-qualified. A few years back Mr. Pass went for his low-powered SS single-ended amps and they might be more interesting. The Cat[/qu...

Wow:Looks like a trip to Boston coming on for the big guy once the snow is gone.Very interesting doings there Romy!Your cat is looking well, and the amps are eye candy. I can only assume the sound equals the appearance.Time will tell, hopefully I'll ...

Recently I was playing with my horns, running with across my room, trying to hit with them my Cat…. When I settled down at the place when I need them to be I one more time faced a problem of cables. Whoever use multi-channel systems and do milliampin...

Jim, yes, I use the 6E5P as triode, I never tried tetrodes, never has needs to do it. I have somebody tried them as tetrodes and commented negatively about their sound. I do not know if it is true – it what “they say”. Ironically I do not like how th...

That some kind of Association of Sound Historian in US has discovered the earlier know recording of human voice. It was made by scratching paper smoked with oil lamp. The recording is made in 1860 – many years before Edison – very interesting… Here w...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Stopped by at local audio friend this Sunday and watch some Brunner, Mahler and Wagner at his HT playback. He has integrated playback installation and video is played at his main system. I am not a fan of good quality of v...
