Dear Romy, I'm not surprised at your disappointing results as I have experienced the same with a variety of power filtration or generating devices. Your surmise is correct that such devices work much more easily with AV equipment or computers than t...

If I went to a Ferrari dealer and "kicked the tires", they would ask me what I am doing there. In the audio world, there are a lot of people "listening" to the Magico that are not doing anything else except kicking tires.Why the dealers/reps feed tho...

One thing I have noticed is that most of the effort for many years has gone to "marketing", and "they" have gotten better at it with the passage of time, at least broadly speaking. At that same time the size of "The Audience" has grown it has also be...

Romy,lips are a very interesting part of the resonant musical instrument.I did an experiment many years ago by gluing a headphone driver to a mouthpiece and feeding it a sine wave, sawtooth and square wave. With the sawtooth and square wave the sound...

The demonstration of the WE equipment was impressive as was looking closely at how these horns were constructed. The arrangement (originally it would have been mono) was to provide the audience seated both in the stalls or circle with an evenly bala...

Well, bringing up the rear guard, I finally got a copy of the Music and Arts CD transfer of the 1942 concert, and what a performance!!! It might take re-reading for me to sync the liner notes/review with what I heard, which did not need a ...

[quote user="peter foster"] I mention this because your comments about Playlist 07; Song 02 and Song 03 are difficult for me to reconcile. On my system the upright bass is heard with very fine detail and all of the complex harmonics that follow...

I too believe that "reproduction" has nothing to do with my audio experience as there is nothing to reproduce. There is so much missing in any recorded signal that the "original" geometry can not even be close to restored. At best, we could create a ...

[quote user="Winnie"]Firstly let me say that I believe musicians could be just about the most important people to judge the quality of Hi Fi. They know how the music sounds during creation so can best judge if that quality has been preserved (less de...

Dear Romy,I feel you perceive yourself very much as enlightened and 90% of other people as low beings.You describe yourself as offering a generous helping hand from the top which is not understood due to ignorance.A true enlightenment does not judge ...

Robin, it has been interesting over the years that Europeans seem to express fewer frustrations with their AC power than Americans do. And I know from reading and some personal communications that many hi-fi nuts who live in SE Asia consider UPS a ne...

Romy--I guess I don't know where to start without giving offense. Forgive me if I start back too far. NPR, WGBH, WBUR, etc. are all independent entities--separately incorporated and managed. WGBH and WBUR are local instances of stations all around th...

Romy, for one thing, you are still talking "best possible sound" in a very literal way while most other people are merely working out one or another acknowledged compromise, or they are hoping to make their system do an even more spectacular renditio...

[quote user="steverino"]So the conductor list overweighted to British is expected for BBC. I think Stokowski has to be in the top 10 with Lenny, HvK and Toscanini. As for the festival, if the players are for it I wouldn't stop it. Those under 60 are ...

1- Romy, a $200 microscope was shit 30 years ago when I bought mine and is still a piece of shit today. Manufacturing 5-10 SX-8000 type tables a year is inexpensive, its when you go to 50-100 units a year, AF1 market, that cost of operations escalate...

I agree...this is a tedious exchange. I feel sorry for the readers, if any.If can't defend myself against Romy arguing with me about what I heard, based solely on photographic analysis, in an entertaining manner, I must be losing my touch. Th...

[quote user="LossTangentZero"] FoxNews is just a biased as CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, or any other “news” of choice because they are produced by inherently biased individuals. [/quote]Now that is a lie. FauxNews is not even news, nothing but propaganda ...

Was priveleged to hear Romy's system on Saturday. I must say he's done a superb job both musically and esthetically over the past year, and except for one minor niggle has surpassed what he had in Boston. That was the very low bass, but he has stated...

CJ Yes I have assessed AC polarity in my system.Romy says "I took today my large
3kW isolation transformer and place it between my dedicated line and
PP3000. I lost my lower bass, simple as that. "Speaking of isolation transformers, I have not h...

I never equated transient information with microdynamics nor did I say it was articulation. Microdynamics is not simply piano and macrodynamics is not forte. Transient (onset) noises are what give different instruments their timbral character. Of cou...

The paradox of the orchestra sound would be resolved if we asume that the audience (in the good seats) mostly hear the reflected sound, primarily from the wall behind the stage and that the players at the front follow the visual lead of the conductor...

Funny, I was just having more or less the same conversation earlier today, only in my case it was the straight-descent-to-Hell of Jazz and Classical programming in Southern California.Is there any way to understand these problems?Sure, ther...

Interesting Question, Romy. Whatever it is that goes missing in hi-fi, I know I try to "make up for it" with "details" that I hope will convey the "conversational" aspect of the duets, quartets, etc. Whatever it is, it is largely just this quality ...

If you have interest about BSO and about the retune live of musicians who live and work in BSO-liven orchestras then you might find the book that I read now worth attention “In Concert: Onstage and Offstage with the Boston Symphony Orchestra” by Car...

Hello, new to the forum... very glad to find it. I'm a sound guy at a small celtic/trad venue, I've had the opportunity to hear everything from Strads to FO Stanley's. I'm not professing to be an expert, I've just had the chance to listen to a good...

Bruno,Let me clarify some things. First, I am not making any negative criticism of Bob Robbins or his method. Not having heard a system set up his way, I cannot say anything definite about the results. Also, while I visited Romy twice (in Boston Back...
