Here is the link:http://www.rank-concept.deI have no experience with the Lamm ML-series, I just listened to an M-series hybrid amp combined with the Watt/Puppy 8. This performance was a single fake (though a pleasant one). I can´t say where was the f...

Interesting post, Dominick. However, my views are way more radical. I am not for discouraging – I am for a complete elimination. What I feel should be elimination is a superstructure that sets artificial and completely bogus hierarchy in audio. We ra...

Some facts:The Japanese horn scene uses colored amps like 300B and prefers to buy Japanese amps.American horns are mostly slightly modified pro gear, quite a bit away from the price range Lamm has in mind, so the market there is not larger than that ...

His first symphony is quite Germanic but yes the later ones just have some rather vague "lands of the Vikings" ambiance. But this is the difference between second rank composers with first rank. The latter have a very personal style while the for...

I think digital source components are the most sensitive to powerline garbage. They should all be designed to run off batteries. In terms of sensitivity I would rank components like this: 1. Digital Source 2. Solid State Preamp 3. Solid State Amp ...

Your description of second-rank composers vs first-rank is
spot on in my view. Interestingly, I know very little about the "lands of
the Vikings" ambiance and am quite ignorant about its sonic harmonics. Even
if I hear Fins, Swedish, Danish or Nor...

When I started "serious" FM (about 55 years ago...) I was in the heart of Los Angeles, and the big problem was selectivity, also our "best" classical station was 90% crap, and our best jazz station was 65% crap. Then I moved to Corvallis, Oregon, and...

Thank you, Rennie, but that's entirely beyond me. As for Romy's input, I do take your point; it's hard to imagine a single DAC possessing virtues entirely harmonious with all three sources - maybe I should just go for the best universal player attain...

Since it's always hard to guage situational significance by the presence or absence of fanfare, and since I know squat about digital, I was wondering if anyone better educated than I (ie, anyone) happened to see the iPOD "dock" review in the Oct...

A lot of assertions are made about this being better or that being the same. In the absence of assessment (and I don't even mean DBT tests, just pooling of expert judgments) this game never stops. There is not a standardized system that can be used t...

Responding to the statements in the Cat's second paragraph concerning lp downsizing:FWIW I had a similar dissatisfaction several years ago although I had nowhere near the number of lps that Cat has. My library was about 2000 lps. I had already gotten...

Paul,
People underestimated the impact of the wars in Europe on our music scene. There was a large emigration of artists and performers to the Americas starting in the first decade of the 20th C due to the money offered. Even the celebrated J...

Do you remember in the brilliant cartoon “Ice Age” there was that lovely character who was going of his way in his infinite chase for the nut? I feel audio people have the sale obsession with ribbons, or more precisely with importer use it ribbons. R...

The reason that I built the 6C33C preamp was to explore the 6C33C true musical potential like I did with the 845. Not only did I compare the sound of these tubes in power amp, but also in preamp. The reason is that with power amp you might hit some l...

Here are some commentaries regarding my “End of Life" Phonostage.
The name of this phonostage derives from many factors. I am forty, winch it more or less a half live and in the first half I was playing a lot with different audio toys. The last 10 y...

The subject of electromagnetic, or as they called field-coil drivers, popped up at my site numerous times. (Look as it list of related threats). The advances or shortcomings of electromagnetic drivers are arguable, I have my vision, but it is not the...

I think I need to make some commentary in here as BS will be swallowed as usually and somebody shall take stand on it. Before is a small prelude. Sometimes back in his comments about RMAF 2010 Show Report the Federated Mike wrote in his blog:

Not to mince words, I have five. And this from a guy who usually disdains such collections. But there are exceptions.
