I heard from a Professional Journalist who was all days at Munich High End Show that they didn't have many visitors. The official numbers are critical, he said, they must have counted every Leg and Arm as Visitors.And it was the same boring demos as ...

David, the Merriam-Webster dictionary describes “high end “as
superiority quality or sophistication. The loudspeakers you posted are inferior
in quality of delivery and in sophistication of implementation. In fact they
are just a reflection of inc...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, I think you a bit overly glorify the notion of "precision instruments" that we all are a bit taken in high-end audio. If you go to a good hobby shop and by a microscope for 200 dollars, or lawn mower for $300, or a k...

Okay, my point was not really the cost and not really even the magnets. (though I was surprised they were that cheap) Just the justification, but hey when has the 'high-end' needed any justification.When I was a dreamy youth there was exotica out the...

I know that in audio we use fucked-up terminology that over the course of years audio propaganda pimps of all calibers impended into minds of feeble audio people. High-End Audio in today world means nothing that what I feel, is it possible to cle...

I think we are speaking about different things, you speak about real High End which should be best possible sound quality to serve a musical purpose, and I'm speaking about a High End industry which doesn't give a damn about musical performance, beca...

Looking at the sound that audio high-enders cultivate as High-End Sound I have little enthusiasm in what I see/hear. The High-End Sound, as it exists in 99% of listening rooms is not really High-End Sound but rather the High-End Labeled Sound where t...

[quote user="drdna"] The vast majority of things that give us information about a performance of a musical piece are preserved or lost in the recording process, not in the reproduction by the audio system. [/quote]
I would very much argue this. I wo...

As things stand today, I believe that the biggest gain in quality is not to be had via the pursuit of higher resolution formats.A friend of mine who works for a large media distribution business (like Amazon) recently gave me a bunch of sample CD...

[quote user="Axel"]is what I assume that your CD's source is all about. So it could be in deed a problem having used the 'original' master tape (analogue) which might have had a slight problem, stretched, or issues with the equipment speed (slight sp...

Well, I always noticed that 'universal' transports which spin the CD at 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x (faster each year) sound much muddier and grainier then the dedicated CD ones. Unfortunately nowadays there are hardly one or two commercially available OEM CD-t...

Yes, I was thinking of take advantage of high ceilings, feeling the space above with midbass horns. A few days back I found a very interesting building. It is big factory from the beginning of the century converted into many lofts. The building has h...

Thanks, Keith.
I isolated this topic in a separate thread, reading to the end you might understand why.
Those commentaries that something is “100% original” I usually take with a lot of suspicion and it usually is an indication that the peo...

Thanks for all the suggestions. As it happens, there were no exhibitors at the Flemings Hotel this year. But I did pop into the Stax stall before listening to anything else.In general, I was pretty disappointed with what I heard. Most of the ‘convent...

Has anyone here has tried simply high passing the 10" Tannoy Red? Say, 200 Hz? This was my long-time strategy for vintage wide-range (aka, "Full Range") drivers, to get more power and better articulation from them by not choking them with LF. Never t...
