[quote user="drdna"] It sounds as if you are are relating neutrality to music in a roughly analogous way that people use the term transparency in relation to sound. In my mind a system can be transparent without being neutral, however, as trans...

Surely all audio components would ideally be transparent not specifically the pre-amplifier. I have yet to hear any audio components that really are. (and I wouldn't be able to hear them if they were!)...
|
|
[quote user="drdna"] Yes, we are saying the same thing. The problem as I have found it is that transparency is easily recognized and so there is a tendency for audiophiles to focus on this when they try to improve their systems, and this can ma...

Guy, I am not sure that “all audio components would ideally be transparent” as most of the audio components perform own actions: gain change or different type of conversions. Preamp, in contrary, mostly performs no actions or if it is in unity gain i...

[quote user="amdismal"]The crossovers were fourth order, which is what I use on my horns. Second order, I have found, can give a better blending, but reduced the delicacy and transparency in my system. But it's very complicated, and further exacerb...

The guys like J.G. Holt brought to the wide public the things, from which “all the crap begun”. Holt was the first who came up in mass-publication with a concept of looking at the music through the dirty window where his new term “transparency” is cl...

Hi Samuel, I see that quite a few replies without much in the way of suggestions. Romy will not give you what you want, ie. a shopping list of speakers to audition, but I will give you one or two recommendations that I think sound quite good in...

Interesting that a notion of an Absolutely Transparent Stage is kind of bizarre. Let presume that we do have an Absolutely Transparent, musically and sonically, stage. The stage might be transparent only with own enclosed scope. If a stage modifies t...

Hi,[quote user="dazzdax"]Thx for this well written and highly educational piece Thorsten! It appears that Romy is not very fond of the Audio Consulting transformers, could you give your opinion regarding those? What is your opinion regarding the use ...

I did not use or know anyone who uses anything by Borbely but Placette basically is the same idea – a discrete op-amp. It has also a proprietary switchable voltage divider and assembling is “made for transparency”. If not Placette then I still would ...

Ethan,
Since I published the article “Preamplifiers: keys to mystery” I received many emails from my site visitors asking about Lamm prams and questioning my remarks in comparing what I said to “data form other sources”. Some people disagreed or sur...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Try slowly removing from your perception of concept of Audio Neutrality, substituting it with Event Recreation Neutrality. You might discover eventually that a Recreative Really has a very strong cross-expressive bound an...

ArmAlex the fun thing is that you read Romy posts here without understanding his ideas and copy paste Romy instructions in your Audio system and the result is lower than those audiogon guys (an example of your audio logic -> you buy gryphon spea...

Axel, I am expressing whatever I wish to express and in whatever format I find it useful. If you wish simplicity then feel free to define the things for yourself in whatever simplistic fashion it might benefit you. The simple stupid approach hardly ...

Romy, I have that Macondo post printed out and used for a basis of very in depth discussion with my audio companion in confirmation of understanding it. So it's not in any way a matter of disregard as you assume. It just makes your point in great...

Ronny,
I moved your post to the Placette thread. I hope you do not mind.What I fine interesting in this subject is not that fact of Placette wonderful transparency - it a fact but that you (and I in past) were trying to challenge Placette with a tub...

Chris,
The point of digital delay is well taken. Digital has no problems to delay and if someone had only digital as source then it is very simple to use tow parallel DACs and to stick temporary storage memory in one or them. In case of multiple so...

Yeah, you're right Yoshi. Sometimes we have to detach ourselves from this ridicule audio hobby to be able to rediscover the true essence of music. Why do many audiophiles seek the ultimate in transparency, soundstage, bass reponse while the music is ...

I used 6c33c at about 250V Vp, -100 Vg and it was good. Another important point for sound of tubes - the filament. I find out, that the sound at 6,0-6,1 V filament is preferable to the one at 6,3V. I simply add a series resitor for each socket....
