"foresaw" that it would take a personally-developed 5-way system with

Well, this concept of Defense Mode is good for superficial explanation (or for selling to ourselves own justifications) and I use to use it in past but I do not use it for a few years as unfortunately it is not what it is. The correction of “the wron...

I had one for about a week and was not happy. Switched to a Kenwood KT1100.
Here an honest review that matches my experience. Bottom line is that on stuff this old, the individual buyer will determine the price, not the market.

Clark Johnsen’s passed away yesterday. I visited him in hospital a few months back, had
a good talk about life and about end. Clark was probably the most interesting listener
who visited my listening room. We had the strangest conversations someti...

Very sad to hear it. My condolences to his finally. I hope Vladimir eventually got peace in the end of his life. I did not talk to him for over 1o years and I do not know what he was all about last years. The last contact I had with him it was I ...

As with all our ventures in life, the measure of our success is in hindsight what would have I have done differently. Although it is fairly early days for me yet, at the moment, if I went back to the drawing board and had to start again, I would ...

I was rushing when I made the last post. Wanted to share a little more about my thought process and how I arrived at doing another large-scale masochistic audio project. Making a bass horn is a huge risk - the results can vary from exceeding expect...

The Adrian’s quote about being stunned and disappointed can’t better express my view on the subject. I admit that I am driven by disappointed and in a way anger for the horrendous sound I got from my Koetsu Onyx Platinum. However, it was not a an...

Hello Romy,I should have made myself more clear about the paragraph you quoted. Typical situations:a. The arm is installed on a deck that accomodates more than one arm. The listener, if lucky, has two(for all intents and purposes) identical cartridge...

What a beauty of FM life in Boston! The WHRB ran a week-long (53 hours) Sir Edward Elgar Orgy and today, at the end of the programming they broadcasted a cycle of the Elgar’s own conducting of his own. What a grate dissent in time and into the ...

Reading Paul’s reply I came across to asking myself of what we call painting. Let get for instance any famous works, let I be the early Dali’s portrait of his sister “Figure at Window”. What we call as the “Figure at Window”?

Digital Crossovers are wonderful. They are wonderful because they might help to very easy to learn if you are not a Moron ™. I have covered this subject in the threads:

Perhaps you are right. Buying out tubes from manufacture is a secure way to go. Still, I abandoned this practice in 2002 when Lamm sold me a pair of 12AX3 for his L2. When I got them one of the tubes was with paces of metal riddling inside. I figure ...

It might not be necessarily the new wire. With analog there are other billion reasons why it might not sound as it should. Still, I personally can’t stay listening “new” wire with MC cartridges. If you recently futzed with the arm wire then you...

In my post above I have mention that Srajan is in a way a brainless parrot that repeats the heard and has no ability of desire to understand what was the noise about. His comments that 6E5P and E810F are “close electrical” is a good indication how it...

I mean to make this post with the observations for a number of weeks. The days are passing by and I hoped that I might get deeper to the bottom of it. Unfortunately I was not able to.

Wonderful horn, Chris. 160Hz is very-very interesting size for using S2 at it bottom knee for a lover mid-range channel. I when to 250Hz (I did not go lower because some my own reasons) but I think the 180Hz should the perfect frequency. With damping...

Yep, if I do it then I will do it right: with a single driver, with full length, with proper mouth, with slow profile and if it had curve then it will be properly linearly expending curve, not with the resonant chambers or with steps. The problem...

[QUOTE]So what is high end audio, then? I know for some it is the quest for
the perfect soundstage, but let us exclude them for the moment. Rather,
is it a way for us to become more connected to the Sound? In a sense,
like a crutch for an invalid ...

Yep, the Gorecki 3 is a famous work. There was some controversy
around. Jewish interests highjacked the work it as the Sorrowful theme of Holocaust
but Gorecki admitted that it was not his intention although closer to the end
