Well, spent a few more hours to listening Avicenna. Although it has much better sound then from the wall but there are a lot of moments in this sound that I do not like. It is kind of freakish and demoralizing as Avicenna feeds system with absolutely...

The Thread was written from Romy 2006, I don't know when I read it the first time but it was an eye opener for me. In a way, one of the very best Analysis ever written.
6 years later (2012) every single sentence is still valid about morons, idiots,...

The "Super
Mod"
The Bidat was originally designed with 3 separate crystal-based voltage controlled
oscillators. This was unique because we had the crystals specially made to be

[quote user="JANDL100"]Tintner's is quite possibly my favourite opening of the 7th - hushed, mysterious, tremulous and Oh, so atmospheric. Wonderful sound quality too![/quote] Well, eventually I got a civilized person reading this site.

A few weeks ago Amphissa sent me a collection of recordings of Myaskovsky. I knew Myaskovsky, head his Sixth Symphon, “something else” and his cello concerto but to have a pile of selected CDs by a great aficionado of the Myaskovsky's music really he...

Romy:I hope you go ahead with your project of installing the horns in your attic as you are probably the only person who might pull it off, but if my opinion was solicited, I think you would be very ill-advised to do so. Firstly, the costs involved a...

Stefano, and thanks for the opportunity to contribute money to something worthy.

At CES there were Viagra-junkie sized power cords everywhere for $5000. Around our room were $10k and $20k speakers that sounded like a wet jukebox. It was the land of delusion.Value per topology is one way to measure but let's instead start with a p...

Let start from the largest drivers and go down. There are larger then 18” drivers (23” and 30”) but looking at this magnet structures I do not find them serious. I addition to make the 23” cone stiff enough requires a lot of diaphragm’s mass or to us...

After spending two weeks with high-passed Celestion SL-600 reinforced with external LF section I would like to make some observations. I had a single SL-600 monitor (I always tend to use one for assessment purpose) on it’s original stands in the very...

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

OK, here are some follow up thoughts after the completion of the project. I am sure I will burn it for a month or so. I think everything will be fine, I do not expect any issuers technical or sonic. The way how the entrance to the corrector done it i...

Will I be listening to all my sources via the inverse RIAA?
Well, the question was sarcastic but it has some rational grains. If the signal passing via the 834PTF-Air does receive some positive attributes despite of the presumed nastiness of t...

I’ve been thinking about all this electricity stuff…
I’ve stopped using all power conditioning devices since Bush got re-elected, and I consequently left the country to start a new life in the land of 220v/50Hz (this BTW, is not an exaggeration).

Romy,
Your approach makes sense; I will look into fitting a "12.5 db voltage divider".
As I did not have any noise issues when using the same equipment with a variety of direct radiating speakers, I can only speculate as to what other informat...

I constantly complain that the majority of audio people have corrupted listening culture. The last time I was bitching about it in the article “Remote control - the ultimate enemy.” However, the remote control is juts one of the tools of corruption. ...
