Amy clearly acknowledged the difference but when I asked her to describe to me the difference ... and she begun to explain to me the deference she heard it from a position of a sting player. It was fan to hear from her...

Paul, it is hard to define what I am looking. Most likely nothing well formed; still I am always opened to consume new sensations. I think the summit of the UK trip of this year will be Bruckner 8 with Vienna Philharmonic, ironicly it will be 2 days...

I never thought that it will be so much fun to demolish my listening room. Right after the Labor Day my contractor starts to rip up the carpet and lay down the quarter sawn parquet. I will be at Cape during the weekend, so I have preparing the room n...

I was wondering what would I say or do with my house-build in horns if I move from this home? No, no not, the horror of married life that audio people love to tell to each other are very much not applied to me. There is no problem with computability ...

Well, the short trip to Paris was rather Amy’s idea than mine and I think she is cooling out a bit to this adventure. I guess girls do have some fantasies about Paris. I do not. To me the unlimited European experience is south Germany, Prague or Ital...

Well, I do not know if it was lightning but what else would it be. I did blame Amy with her hair and her curly machine and I did blame out little Koshkas for running around house like crazy and generating static perhaps. I even blamed the cleaning la...

The main dangers I see are are:1. AC line voltage2. Tube plate voltages3. Falling from a high place4. Heavy objects falling on BabyI do not think there is a serious burn hazard with operating tubes. They are not hot enough to cause clinical burn...

Congratulations, Romy and Amy!
Though it might be hard for a given audio nut to believe, for some of us, family comes first. My children grew up with reproduced Music, and they spent their entire lives "watching out" for hot tubes, TTs and cables...

[quote user="decoud"]So the ambition is low, and I am after a simple solution prioritizing these things, but the question of general interest is whether anyone has found an elegant way of turning the constraints of space into a virtue [/quote] We...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I can’t predict what sound will I get with hardwood floors and how it will be different from think wall-to-wall carpet that I have now. Currently I have architect wood joists 30 feet long running at the bottom of the floor....

Thanks, Nic. That is a wonderful but unfortunate for us news. Amy works all day on that Friday and I am sure has a full day or patients lined up. To insult the injury she plays a concert on that Friday evening:

There are few more observations I would like to share after listening
my new IB over this weekend.
The midbass. The midbass channel that is handled by a single
Vitavox 15 driver with use of my new IB became if not more propitiate but at
least m...

I have no idea who Panagiotis Karavitis is. He isist that he is doctor and I hope he is better doctor then an audio reviewers, if not then I hope he cure only republicans…. Honestly I did not read the Karavitis’ review in while. I did first paragraph...

This is very interesting subject. As many times I went to live concerts with somebody I never remember that a person was listening problem. There were people who underdressed or over-dress, the people who over-used perfume, the damp people who read ...

[quote user="decoud"]The idea is that just as you might have a seat in your garden that captures a particularly attractive perspective on it, so you have a point where such a view can be combined with audio playback. That gardens are rarely silent a...

[quote user="JJ Triode"] You mentioned bagpipes--do you think any bagpipe or other Celtic music can be of serious interest? I don't necessarily mean audio interest, but music/cultural interest. [/quote] JJ, I have no idea. Amy loves bagpipes and she...

I was keeping thinking about the new PP3000+ and if I want to get it now. This morning I had a very good listening session and a few time used the new and old units. Yes, I see a merit to get new unit. The PP3000+ has slightly better bass, significan...

Well, if cause I would not keep the DHT tube with plastic bottom in sauna. Even though I did, purl for run, loaded 4 boxes of 6C33C under the lower sauna beach, still the subject tubes in sauna is rather a metaphorical concept for me then the true ne...

[quote user="noviygera"] Is there a pill for that too? Seriously, it would be very interesting to hear what solution you come up with because I have converted from listening music solo to a small number of audience (friends). So much that I listen by...

Like in anything else with B8 in your life there is a little
story with last night concert. Here is a letter Amy sent to Zander 2 days
before the performance.****************************************************************

A few days back a site’s visitor send me a tip recommending
to listening the new John Luther Adams's composition “Become Ocean”. It was
commissioned and recorded by Seattle Symphony Orchestra under Ludovic Morlo. I paid
my $17 to Amazon and got th...

I spent good hour trying to configure and re-configure the system in order to get rid the loop noise. Ironically nothing worked still. I have no noise if I run CD played directly to poser amp, with all of them directly plugged to PP2000 and all g...

Last night Kitty and I went for see a local production of Broadway show that has to rename nameless as I am ashamed to admit that we went to see that crap. Well, parents invited us and that made the whole trip special, so we have to go. So, we were ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]That sucks. I use to have a box of perhaps a dozen of YO186 but I did not see it for a while, pretty much from the time I moved to new house. I was listening today some of my “critical” reference stuff and concluded with ve...

[quote user="Paul Costa"]Thanks for your reply.I am in the market for either a new pre-amp or phono and line stage.I know they need around 47k for optimal loading, but what else might I be concerned with.Did you have a look on Agon at the two there.&...

Last year Amy’s
parents began considering to move closer to us. They are at their high 70s,
with own health problems and with a desire to spend more time with grandkids…
nothing different then with many other families... They were looking for vari...
