[quote user="guy sergeant"]Some of it, (the current speakers and some of the amplifiers) are in my view, not outstanding. Other items, (the big preamp, phono stage, cartridge, MC transformer, silver cables and largest power amps are exceptionally goo...

I understand that Mr Kondo, the founder of Audio Note and more recently Kondo Sound Labs died in his sleep while attending the recent show in Las Vegas.Kondo pioneered the use of silver cable in the late 70's, owned and operated YL acoustics making s...

[quote user="drdna"]After seeing the variation in the sound of the TU-X1 to the quality of electricity, and thinking about recent discussions about the Direct Heated Triode, I would like to start a compendium of anecdotal observations of the idiosync...

The Japanese manufacture Audio Note by the infamous Kondo-San announced a new revolutionary amplifier. The name of the amplifier unfortunately could not be spelled or pronounced in English and therefore the US distributor Mr. Klein calls it “NDiP” or...

Due to this thread, I called the friend upon whose boat I heard the Vox Olympian in order to find out precisely which DCS DAC he was using with his TLOX to get the sound that I found so remarkable. It turns out that whilst the DCS unit was indeed pre...

From the perspective of pumping of atmospheric pressure the ALE bass drivers might be more capable transducers. It or might not be so as well. To get 40Hz at 110dB in 5” it would take some excursion. I am sorry but you can’t bend the law o...

Such measurements give us ample information regarding the technical parameters of these machines, and if one is seeking to determine preeminence thus, then what you propose is not without merit. However, near-perfection in terms of measurable paramet...

Of all the manufacturers you could be poking fun at you've chosen two who actually care about what they make and sell. Whenever I encounter Bruce Edgar he always strikes me as a courteous and serious guy trying to offer value for money, high performa...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]As to the best transformers souding more transparent than the best resistors, I'll believe it when I (don't?) hear it. You claim to have heard this but I most certainly haven't. [/quote] Well, the claim is no...

Yep, I fixed it. If does sound very good now, exactly how it has to be. It turns out that my suspicion were correct: my Micro’s fat cable has died on me. I absolutely assure you that no one would believe that a regular phono cable able to introd...

I do not think any manufacturers “do not care about what they make and sell”. They all do, or...

I don't know this Steve Klein. I don't know what bullshit he uses to sell Audio Note's products in the US. If that is what you are attempting to satirise then fine.I am quite familiar with Audio Note Japan's (Kondo) products. I don't use any at the m...

Personal, I do not use WE555 and I do not (would not) use the WE555-type horns. Hypothetically if one would go for 4-way system with WE555-like driver in upperbass then it is valid solution, not something that I appreciate but valid. The WE555 is ve...

[quote user="Axel"]OK, this is useful also, in that you have not noted a "pattern" as you say. My point is closer to your suggestion, that I do change cart --- and sometimes buy new ones, B U T I do not buy other SUT (at least I try to avoid it). I'...

Romy,I merely thought that you felt I was riding roughshod over your advice, when it was in fact a degree of naivety requiring extensive clarification that may have made it appear thus. Regardless of your indifference to praise and/or criticism, I'd ...

Roman,I think that was below your normal standards.I know Kondo San personally, he is a nice guy. Something not entierly dissimilar could be written about Vladimir and his gear, ESPECIALLY the value for money part.L8er T...

[quote user="drdna"]…AND since the exact frequencies affected by HF loss of the Finalizer and the frequencies covered by the tweeter adjustment are not likely to be exactly the same, then when the tweeter is adjusted to correct the HF loss frequencie...

Hi Romy,I have listened to one of these alot recently although unfortunately I don't own one!http://www.dejavuaudio.com/PREAMPS-KONDO-KSL-M77.HTMI'm sure you wouldn't enjoy it at all but others might and ought to try to at least hear one if they have...

You got rid of the Kondo cable. The Micro cable had deteriorated silicon. So what did you fix?...

John, a few corrections for start
First of all the gullible and moronic are not interchangeable words and I never use one instead of other. Second Audio Note Ginga does not look like traditional Micro. It has oil suspension and God knows what ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] There is much equipment out there that is at similar prices and which falls well short of the performance achieved by these items. God knows, CES is full of it every year. Why try to make fun of a company that does take th...

[quote user="haralanov"] Yes, you are right. Power – you have almost unlimited power. Dynamics – you have as much dynamics as you want. But there are a lot of associated problems with that kind of dynamics. The following illustration is taken by ...

I think discussing about "multiple systems (or multiple partner) vs one system (or one wife)" is quite different to what i said about two separate audio systems.I mean Two audio systems is not about two different sonic objectives. two different syste...

In regular off the shelf hi-fi system , be it a total lack of LF in your speakers or the "pinch" of dome tweeters or the midrange mud. Romy like all of us throws money on the problem and he usually chooses well regarded and expensive solutions. The...

Hi Romy,On the Ortofon website those models of the SPU which don't come with inbuilt transformers, have a recommended load of >100 ohm. Using the cartridge into too low an impedance load definitely does lift the lower frequencies. Too high and the...

Yes, I guess I would sing the different songs if I need to load them differently. In fact Mi might need but I juts refuse to acknowledge it. Nevertheless I am not planning to compromise my phonostage by different loading. BTW, did you try to load the...
