Hy all
i was sharing information at AA with someone that reads this forum, and this person made a very good point, wich i would like to share here:
Recently I am trying to get some distance from this so called ''hobby" of mine (i.e., a lite...

Jessie, the "Horn Free Lunch" derives exactly and specifically from "efficiency" registered at frequencies much higher than those ultimately required from the driver in the horn speaker. The horn is there only to provide "gain" at lower frequencies...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The concept of self-testing boot cycle is nice one but it for sure could not be done during the amp booting. Some tubes do need to warm up and reach the cruse temperature in order to be tested, some do not. Some tunes (lik...

de Charlus, thank you very much for the wonderful narrative. For sure an exposure to a good audio installation and witnessing what it can do to sound able to redefine our believes in functional meaning of a playback. I think we all who mingling with...

I find this project so fascinating. I find it particularly interesting because one of my first experiences of good sound involved a field coil driver. Many years ago my grandfather bought an old hammond chord organ(predates the b3 and other...

Rony, not to beg the issue of sound, per se, but I have lived in 4 houses that looked +/- like the one you've pictured. They were not the best with respect to rote Sound development, but they were very Family Friendly, which, in the end, has served ...

First, I'm impressed someone managed to create a website of substance on such a vapid topic as high end audio..Last night I saw the seattle symphony orchestra do berlioz damnation of faust. I was late because I stupidly didn't look at the ticket and...

Do any of you have one single greek symphonic recording? I know it is not fair to compare commercial success with artistic, but at the end of the day, recordings ARE a big part of the life blood of a performing ensemble.When we add purpose to the lis...

I never used the Disc Doctor cleaning; in fact I never used anything beside my own cleaning and the Nitty Gritty’s. The Nitty Gritty smells better though… The problem that I see with either Disc Doctor or with Nitty Gritty that it end up to be $70 pe...

...This feeling of lost phonostage really poisons my entire getting new house ceremony and I am very upset…Is it God punished me for the overly ambitions name of the phonostage – “The End of Life Phonostage” or is it som...

[quote user="Antonio J."] But having some ideas of the sonic attributes that accomplish that "feeling" would be very helpful. So you couldn't help that someone listening to such a system wanted to build a clone of it. [/quote]I do not think it is pos...

Paul Hi, I don't consider myself a dealer, just an enthusiast, I just wanted to discover just what was possible with audio replay, Thomas Woschnicks system (whee i first heard the Alpha's ) was just more real more like real life than anything I had b...

I have seen this effect before not frequently in my playback however. It happens that I did not listen my main playback attentively for 2 months. Frankly I did not even turn it on for a month or so. With many other things that are going now in my lif...

I play a lot of LP recently and last night I noted that sound was quite bad. It was like a bad electricity day only atop of it sound has some kind of odd digitalization atop of everything. Of course I was blaming the PurePower 3000 but then I realize...

Hi Romy and JJTriode:
I wish I could take credit for all of the very pertinent commentary by Rosalyn Tureck, extracted below but I will not. I do agree with the sentiment though and the reasoning behind her expressed...

The more I think about the more I feel that my old idea to install a timer inside the amp that would measure the time the amps is running was not so bad. I never in fact implemented it but it would be convenient to have it. What I am thinking is that...

It is kind of Christmasy in here. Not that I care about Christmas, or even a little too much but it rather end of the year tradition to buy gifts and to have a good time. The miserable Christians have stolen my New Year Tree and renamed it after this...

Found some interesting comments on an independent web site, Twogoodears.

Since my “End of Life" Phonostage have materialized I got exposed to a temptation of finding a “right” cable between my tonearm to the phonostage. The most critical cable between the step-up transformer and phonostage does not exist in my system anym...

It has been changed. Looking at the extend of my record collection, the efforts I went with my TT setup and my “End of the Life Phonostage” it would be hardly expected from me to be somebody else a die-hard vinyl dude but it is what it is. Those feel...

It has been a lot of audio damage in this household
lately. A year ago, my wife, for whatever reasons, decided to get a dog, which clearly
violated out prenuptial agreement. I have no idea what was in the head of a
woman who decided to bring Pippa...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In the 2008 I have a few immediate goals:
1) Finalize the 6-chennals version of Super Melquiades and integrate it with Macondo

Anthony, I am afraid I do not agree with your assessment of the situation. Let look at what is going on together. The 10Y preamp is not another league but juts a proper architectural solution for your system configuration. You have a power amp with v...
