It is very uncommon, practically never happens but still very rarely it is possible to talk about sound or playback systems from a prospective of “absolute tone”. Yes, the audio people love to take about tone of their audio but in 99.999% those audio...

The absolute tone is a relative term in term of tonality but not in term of absoluteness. If the word “absolute tone” does not make you to feel comfortable then I would suggest using a meaning of “tonal potential of playback”. Still, “absolute tone...

Don't confuse between live music and recorded music. I never speak of "correct tone" with regard to live music or real instruments. A Strad sounds like a strad and a POS violin sounds like a POS violin. Both tones are "corrrect" for...

Romy Hi, I have heard TAD drivers in several systems, and they have all quite different, depending obviously on configuration and implementation , everyone is different and have different 'ears' .If a pair of Gamma's finds their way to the US I...

Well, since this thread is about the BMS drivers then what can I say? When I tried the BMS driver I felt that their “absolute tone” ability was at the level of demands of school auditoriums. Read more about “absolute tone” at:

speaking what you really think is often percieved as arrogance.. so i wouldn't worry about that, and i wouldn't take offense at somebody who's worked on their system extensively (even with similar drivers) speaking their mind. kinda the point o...

My playback was in “distraction mode” for a few weeks. The electricity is horrible nowadays, summer… The arrival of APS made me to reposition all components disconnect everything and the failure of the APS so far to do what I want it to do did not en...

I admit tat I ma kind of a freak of nature in my pursuit to the abstract absolute tone of orchestra. Attending life performances I practically never hear “tone” that satisfies me. In the Mecca of my tonal satisfaction there was 3 years ago a vi...

Yes, Paul, I got your points and I find them valid. It is hard to explain what I’m interested in. When I try to convey those ideas then to people are under faulty presumption that I looking for some custom coloration, like SPU or Tannoys form 50...

I think your problem with acceptance of “absolute tone” derives from your visualization audio tone is an imitation of musical tone. It is correct t form one side and it is a strategic mistake from another side. Let me to state it again and it is very...

[quote user="morricab"] I guess I view absolute tone a bit differently than what you describe. I think that each real instrument or person (as in singer) has its own "absolute" tone….[/quote]
Actually when I was taking about “absolute tone” I ...

I like debating with you Romy but I simply don't agree with your position on this. I am sure in practice we are not very far apart but in terms of thinking about the issue of reproduction and tone our way of thinking about it differs.You keep u...

Well, since I made my Absolute Tone pitch I think people got a slightly wrong impression about I am looking for in THIS jornes and I think the readers of my site “get” the idea of “Absolute Tone” too one-dimensional. Let me to peal one layer down fro...

[quote user="morricab"] Fine, just don't call anything from playback Absolute. The only absolute is live unamplified music, it must be so as it is the original event. [/quote]Actually I do like the term Absolute and exactly in this context. The...

I have a problem with how you are using the english language, Romy. You are using an absolute word (like absolute) to mean something you have invented and it is a relative thing. This for me won't do. I understand more or less what ...

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 ...

Last 2-3 weeks I’ve been corresponding with a new reader of my site who sent me a few weeks back an email with a question:
“Romy, I read your comments about TTH and about “absolute tone”. Are you basically taking about timbres?”
That question made ...

Hi Romy,I see now you are throwing around the term "absolute tone" in a relative manner again :) . Why would you want to neutralize absolute tone and with a metal tweeter no less!! You are talking about a tweeter "absolute tone" offsetting a po...
