I think a lot of it had to do with Playback designs( there was a legal battle between them and the not so honourable Tinn man) and therefore to under cut on the price to take sales away from them. I found this accidentally while researching Playba...

My journey with computer audio offers me reason to be optimistic. I think it is like everything else in the audio chain. Everything counts. Keep it as simple as possible. The power for every consumer is important. Keep the number of parts and transfo...

Recently I tested the waters of computer audio. I've been using a Sony SCD-1 transport / Museatex Bidat DAC combo for digital playback. It has been a source of enjoyment for years. My goals for trying network-based music files were:- reduce physic...

Yes, this English pace did not give a lot of new information. I know nothing about the AudioTekne Company. I like that they wrote about their bass driver but I do not know how much truth and the actual results behind it. I do think that they wor...

[quote user="Serge"]Silbatone used a WE horn to play in mono and a pair of their own horn cabinets for 2-channel.The very cinema sound reinforcement looking horn was, I was told, a 16B. I will post some comments about the sound a bit later. [/quote]T...

As wonderful my Altec 21S plays video and pop crap as much it absolutely impotent to play any classical repertoire. In fat when I estimated it as 3 on the scale of Macondo 10 I meant the video concert and operas that I play on it. With pure audio wit...

You know, it surprises me how much less fan to listen my playback without ULF. Nope, the playback does not sound bad from audio perspective without ULF but it for sure a bit different experience. From a certain perspective to be in a room with U...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am glad that Fane “now found … that they have sufficient old stock of the 8 ohms or 16 ohms voice coils to”. Such a phenomenal discovery of the British archeologists. Can you ship them here in US, they can help us to fin...

[quote user="Antonio J."] But having some ideas of the sonic attributes that accomplish that "feeling" would be very helpful. So you couldn't help that someone listening to such a system wanted to build a clone of it. [/quote]I do not think it is pos...

I sometime try to address broad and purely abstractive audio issues, still without a big hope then it would be properly understood or properly interpreted by most of the readers, not to mention anyone else. An average audio person do not need a broad...

Hi Romy, Just a couple comments on recorded quality and dvds. If you have a chance try to find the DVD called Eroica put out by the BBC a couple of years ago. It is a quasi-reinactment of Beethoven's unveiling of his new masterpiece...

built better audio or learn to develop more sensitive perception and
you end up with the same results. This why I, staring from a certain
level, refuse to combine audio and music and feel that audio resole

Make an experiment. Take any of those contemporary “highly reputed playback systems” and roll of their HF and LF unit you reach gramophone bandwidth. You might narrow the bandwidth with electric (LC) filers or with mechanical filers it would not be r...

While I feel like the layout of an orchestra is a sort of sacred thing, I will never the less put forth the following question :
Is the layout of an orchestra time aligned?
Whenever I attend a performance where classical music is played by an orc...

To me, audio neutrality is a very difficult idea to express. Fundamentally, all audio recording and reproduction is a terribly compromised and flawed system. An analogy might be to record the sound of children laughing and playing, splash...

Ironically, and in contrary to the believers of many audio freaks, there are very little differences between the conditions responsible for a great live musical performance and great audio performance.
During live musical events we certainly need sk...

Hi Romy:
I am trying to build up a good audio system on a budget and have enjoyed reading about your philosophical approach to music and music reproduction.
I will not waste time with "what to buy" equipment recommendations in magazines or th...

Well, surely everything might be explained, or more precisely to say justified, by the presumptions that all listeners practicing audio may seeking subjective experiences that reflect variable neurophysiology of various individual brains. I wou...

[quote user="Rewind"] The Fanes are the most detailed midbass speakers I have heard without a horn, but with the paper horn the detail was gone. [/quote]I am sorry you are naive. Fanes are not too detailed midbass speakers. Also, of Faned have lost w...

[quote user="N-set"]
If I read you correctly the big midbass did not release the "intellectual tension/demand" of Macondo/Milq. Perhaps I'm wrong or oversimplifying but it seems to me that at least a part of your "problem" with Macondo is an i...
