Well, the Ultimate Turntable. I had the chance to listen to some personally. Most have one in common:Overrated and hyped from deaf "reviewers"And .... price tag has no direct comparison to sonic excellence ... or a lot of technical features which are...

I wonder why no one uses antenna diversity systems for High-end FM reception. The diversity systems are very popular in better car audio installations. All police cars use antenna diversity; many PA wireless microphones use antenna diversity, the...

[quote user="Jorge"] I listened to Romys old system, I am sure the new one sound better….[/quote] With everyone who comes to my place we discuss that subject: how audio installation in my new listening room sound different from the playback I had in...

Your description of Meyer is right - I probably heard the very best Meyer installation in the world (based on that interview I pasted on my original post).Being a lazy person (or with four small kids maybe I should just say I just don't have time), a...

Here is an article by Leonard Norwitz that I think some of you might find motivating. I do not know Mr. Norwitz but it sounds like dinked too mach Qvortrup’s coca-cola. Anyhow, although I do not agree with some (sometimes many) of the Mr. Norwitz’s c...

If you thoughtfully read my site then here and there (particularly in the articles about Lamm ML2) you read my “absurd” comments that the best performing system is the system that do best Sound while the power amplifiers not even plugged in the p...

Collin,I do not know why you guys dive so fast into self-Moronism rebattling – it was absolutely not my thoughts. The escaping from family is one of the “permitted” reasons to built dedicated listening room. What you do: planning ahead is perfectly n...

Adrian, although I find plenty of "mono" recordings that sound better to me in "mono", I will always take good stereo over good mono, other factors being equal. Sure, some "stereo" is so poorly done that it just does not work as stereo.&nb...

Some of you probably know Jack Bouska, I didn't find any links to his system here at GSChowever. He documented the technical steps that led to his system in a very detailed way. How his methodology relates to Sound can be discussed........

[quote user="Djjjj"]Thanks a lot, rowuk.I do read the Macondo axioms again when I got your suggestion. We never think our system is a perfect one, we will and must do our best to improve our system and correct flaws.Hope to keep in touch and get more...

I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

Interesting subject. I don't believe that there are amps (or systems) which are good at reproducing baroque and bad at reproducing Stockhausen. For starters, how would the amp know that it is Purcell I am sedning him via electric current? If it does...

It will give an interpretation of the things you throw at it, the rest is done by our brains. Your brain (and your current mood = current emotional status of your brain) will take you to real music. It works like this:Ths s whr tr hgh nd bgns, Th sys...

I think that Mr. Burwen has been at the cutting edge of horn technology longer than anyone else that I know. I am surprised that the search here did not bring up any hits.

Hi Roman... the installation is a combined joint-venture between Endo-san of ALE (bespoke drivers and horns) and Be Yamamura's (45 W solid state Class A amps and digital software and hardware).

Danvprod, I hope you understand that “proper four or five-way system” is some kind of Unicornnish type of animal and we could talk about it only abstractly. Still, since you have mentioned it – what and how are you trying to accomplish with your five...

Hi Romy,
Could you explain a little more about the amp? If I understand you correctly it is a 1 tube stage with solid state (Mosfet or Bipolar??) output. If it is Mosfet then it is likely to be running without negative feedack, is that r...

Hi Guy, The Oracle seems like a nice solution - I saw you write up on Peter Empson's forum. They seem compact enough for my requirements. How do you handle time-alignment with the mid-range? Or is this not a problem? To be honest with you I'm not exp...

The CD got here in maybe 2 days, "Letters For The Future", Time For Three, DG label. It is structured and played as a concerto. I just played it via my Accustic Arts Drive 1 transport/iDAT 44++ DAC, etc. I am glad I got the CD, as it makes the Music ...

[quote user="Antonio J."]The "problem" is that if you haven't ever listened to a system revealing them into a certain recording, you cannot know they're there. [/quote]Anthony, not really.
I have been pitching for the years a concept that the answe...

It's a pisser, all right, but a high-demands, OCD hi-fi nut might "realistically" spend years trying to get the most from a "serious" TT/arm/cartridge rig. IMO, most people are probably better off with something "easy to use", if that is not an ...

which has no low frequencies to speak of, very small room, very insensitive speakers, SS amp... but is the only one that can play 24/88 files, DAC1 file sounds kind of "dated", as if it were recorded in a huge concert hall with tubed electronics and ...

I don't know Jessie, but I also have listened to the files several times and I stand on my comments. The file DAC 1 is the one that I find more "loose" with more room defining bass, and DAC2 the one with some sort of better harmonic definition. The o...

Amir, I agree with you wholeheartedly, on a philosophical level, and this in turn underpins my overview of life, art, etc.But, in practical terms, the fractioning off of any "event" is certain, once we try to "reconstruct" that event.Basically, any a...

I really notice the absence of any discussion of the melody range. Tannoy tweeter and red midbass seem to be getting all of the attention. I wonder if the reds problem with loud, may be located in the melody range. The problem is something I would pr...

[quote user="mem916"]I think there must be something to the theory that there is debris down in the grooves that the VPI and other similar machines cannot get out, based on the difference I hear after cleaning with the new machine. I admit that I ha...
