Mr Edwards (I think that's your name):I find the issue you raise, rather inadvertently, a very interesting one. As a matter of habit, I come across a lot of people, a bit like yourself, who know absolutely nothing about audio, and in fact are dea...

... or wondering if it has any new insight into horn design.I did not read the book but I find funny that person who presumably do not “believe” in horn write a review about the presumably horn related book. It would be similar to ask a blind person ...

I did some research about non audio marketed AC regenerators. The terminology used commercially is either "online" or "double conversion" UPS. They all have expandable battery packs. There is another topology called "line interactive" which is equiva...

Oh, FFS! I was merely pointing out the existence of an alternate product which many would not be familiar with. Maybe someone who has experience with it could chime in with their thoughts to the potential benefit of all. Maybe others could do their o...

I think the sorry state of the music industry (s/ware, sound) is primarily due to:a) the trend toward audioVISUAL and the ensuing market for productsb) how people listen to musicA) I believe this is self-explanatory; the bulk of the market invests in...

It's not just about order. You don't do it because you or others are obsessed with the advanced aspects of audio..perhaps so much, that we forget about the basics and the possibility of categorization that's simpler. Nothing will be perfect, I sure a...

In the western world we have preconceptions about availability of „luxury“ items elsewhere. We don‘t know much about Iran and due to embargos and sanctions I had never given it much thought.It certainly shows my ignorance but I am surprised at the a...

A Federated Mike started his new venture ultimist.com, the portal where he feel people would like to go to do “purchase research”. Those poor audio dealers do not get that someone might have interests in audio outside the brands, shopping and nee...

Power from the company grid is usually pretty decent in most respects, or at least it used to be. In the last 25 years or so the average home has seen an increasing number of devices which have switching power supplies (computers, monitors, etc...

Anthony, without making it too wordy (no strength to write for a long now):
there are some natural rules of sound creation, sound distribution, sound propagation, sound consumption and so on. They are not my of anybody’s else rules but the rul...

Romy, hi Firstly it's probably worth a few minutes about me and my preferences, this will probably add some context. I have 'preferences' and priorities that don't match everyones, but are somewhat consistent with my group of friends who have hifi s...

Well, my research of the subject leaded me to talk with their distributor. He turned out to be very much clueless and loaded me with a pile of incredible BS. I spoke with the guy at the manufact...

Well, I never felt that for prototyping I need more then one-channels crossover as by use of the poor sounding prototyping crossovers I never look at the system in it’s entirely but rather for the “technical listing” of just two channels that I...

Yoshi, I think you are mistaken, let me explain why. When we enter the realm of conversations about “comparing” Goya and Pollock then we touch a very lucrative ground of actually comparing thier artistic methods, their expressionism and many other th...

[quote user="drdna"]I am sadly missing the living presence in my system, and I thought from your description, that the Melquiades might be a solution [/quote]

[quote user="oxric"] Romy, I am not too sure you understood me at all! Celebrating yourself? That’s not strength of conviction, that suspiciously rankles of self-idolatry and we know where this strong belief in oneself led Hitler, and for that ma...

It is shame that audio people mostly do not listen FM. If fact if I had a feeling that they do and if I know that they record live broadcasts then it might be possible to facilitate some kind of recording exchange service when “interesting” recording...

After posting the article in Audio For Dummies ™ section:

All of us know that we do not share the same perceptions as others. Some of us would readily agree we are on the road to perfecting our ability to perceive and there are others who have convinced themselves they have reached their destination. They...

A few days back I got a hold of an article in some kind of French publication and a site reader helped me to translate it. In the article Klaus and Reinhard reported that Arthur Benade’s helped them better understand the propagation of sound in h...

It is shame that in 21 century we have such mediocre, not to say moronic, park of music servers.
Whoever does music servers t know stat a file server with uncompress 24-bit files is a phenomenal source of music. So, why we have not a lot of well-per...

It is interesting how my audio interests enter something that I call "design mode". The Design Mode is not really a state of being but rather a state or interaction between sound reproduction and me.
As I said before I seldom think in term of...

A local GSC member took me up to THE Show, in Newport Beach, CA. This was the first audio show I've attended in over 25 years. It was way more frenetic than any audio show I remember. Lousy sound everywhere, of course, and no good music, and the c...
