It looks like JBL Jumped into the beryllium wagon with their new DD66000. It is $60K it is sexy look but frankly speaking I do not see anything stimulating/interesting in them beside a nice industrial design.
Here is also a link that “try” ...

Well, I do not know what they did in “Everest”. The level of being “horny” is not a fixed level. JBL might do own drivers that does not need or need less equalization from hors. It’s hard to say anything without having the driver in own hands. Sure t...

Have you read Alton Everest's "Master Handbook of Acoustics?" http://www.amazon.com/Master-Handbook-Acoustics-Alton-Everest/dp/0071360972 Not about loudspeakers, but a lot of info about rooms, and interactions. Not a "textbook," but a lot of subjec...

Romy,
from my understanding, this disc called HDAD, contains on one side a DVD-Video resolution, 96/24 and on the other side a DVD-A i.e 192/24 resolution. So the disc on one side can be played in your regular DVD pla...

I was looking for the Everest disc with Tossy Spivakovsky and came across this remaster in 192/24
and thought it might be interesting for the discussion.Dont know if the CD version included is as good as the original Everest but it might make for a...

I have the Colloms book. It does not provide the info Romy seeks. The Toole book is better suited, but I generally think a book dedicated to room acoustics, such as the Everest one cited above, is the better choice.I don't know the Everest book, it s...

Too hot to expect the best sound today, and besides I have gotten my morbid curiousity worked up about the recording/playback curves, so I fished out a few LPs mostly to hear/see how they sound with respect to the "shape" of their sound, aspects of w...

I wanted to ask your opinion on wide dispersion horns, I am thinking particularly of the ( maple ) horns used in the TAD Exclusives ,early Westlakes etc, mostly studio monitor designs. I can see why a compact ,wide dispersion horn would be attra...

Romy thanks very much for taking the time to reply, presumably the design originates form PA design, literally enabling as many people as possible to hear the announcement, looking at the 'Everest' in Munich, the mid range 'horn' appears to be ...

More than a few 20's Steinways were additionally fitted with a Duo-Art system. I have no idea how hard it is to find the rolls these days, but I do know that a certain 1929 Steinway so fitted is one of the most amazing pianos I have ever heard, albe...

I was listening to that Everest LP yesterday and found myself half laughing through the 2nd and 3rd movements."sarcasm and professional virtuosity" seems like a fitting description, although I haven't heard any other versions of the concerto.I got th...

I have some old Everest recordings made of "Vorsetzer" (Duo-Art and one other manufacturer, as I recall...) pianos that both record and play from special piano rolls made by most of the greats of the time, including Hoffman, Rubenstein...

Amir,I'm not disagreeing with you. I think the book offer some very good advices. In many areas the book is definetly good, but it's unfortunate that he is holding on to what is snake oil in my opinion. It's not problem for me to overlook that materi...

I have a tradition of exchanging music with people in the end of the year. This morning I made some “selected” CD-copies to a local guy and among them I recorded my favorite performance of Tchaikovsky violin concerto by Tossy Spivakovsky. This kind o...
|

It does not sound as good as the old Vorsetzers to me, and it particularly suffers in comparison to the DuoArt reproductions done by Everest on Harold Powell's 1929 Steinway (also a "D", AFAIK). Sure, the 1909 is nice, but it sounds a little tig...

Well it hard to find for whatever reasons. “Bescal” released it but I would not trust then and would look for the original Everest release. I do not know who sell CD and I have seen ay used market they goes for stupid prices. Still, you might fish th...

Well, I'm pleased to own the vinyl set in question, and if I ever listen to the Mustard set it will be out of curiosity.I bet I'll even miss Gould's much-hated-by-me humming...Or do their computers add that "perfectly", too?Remember, we are not talik...

Dear JimI wanted to Thanks you and send a email to you for your good and very useful book.I think some audiophiles in this forum like to post radical and in some ways un-logical ideas.it seems romy approach and his radical views had this effect on ot...

Before treating my room, I want to benchmark the performance. Seeking a credible and contemporary resource (not Everest) where I can learn PC-based measurement and post-processing. Emphasis on test and measurement over modeling.
It is a bonus if th...

This post was prompted by listening to Chopin's Piano Concerto in E Minor, Opus 11, Everest Archive X-923 (stereo, 1965). This whole series of recordings was very carefully made of remarkable Duo-Art reproductions played on the incredible 1929 ...

It is almost ironic, in the context of your original post, that you've refered me to "Physics" as a sort of generic introduction or prerequisite to practical musical ULF. But I do appreciate your applied thoughts on the evils of feedback loops, and ...

Sorry, Bernard, you are probably correct about the spelling, but it's too late for me to edit the post. I always figure anything good one hears at a show means it is possible to get good sound from the gear in question, while bad sound might say com...

Cool morning and some great music early, but things got worse as the temperature rose.I finally +/- gave up on just listening to music and started listening to the ingredients, and then I started to move around the room as I listened.Based on a ...

I must have missed out on how you regulate gain to or from each or any of several "channels"/pass bands, Romy. I can remember years ago trying lots of EQ things to get "Flat Frequency Response" and finally giving up on all of it, including...

C, I very much agree about the benefits of spherical needle, partially on the older records and out of condition records, and this is one of the reasons why people have multiple arms on TTs. Yes, in many cases the spherical stylus “tracks better” 9mo...
