As many manufactures I know who is close enough with me to talk with me honesty, all of them agreed that they produce quite mediocre audio products. Do not take me wrong, all of them claimed that their creations are better then competitor, that their...

I have to admit that I personally care less about powerful full-range SET amplifiers. I do not take their sound seriously, in fact I do not believe they are cable to do “right full-range sound” and what I see then I always imagine them with huge, bar...

There is a tendency in Hi-Fi to name audio products and audio companies after some big manes in music.
Audio Artistry's Beethoven, Linkwitz’s Beethoven-Grand, Vienna Acoustics’ Mozart, Audio Analogue’s Paganini, dCS’ Verdi and dCS’ Elgar, Vienna Aco...

Power Plant VS. Premier. Question for Paul
Paul, I have a question to ask: what are the SONICALLY BENEFICIAL DIFFERENCE between your old PowerPlants and your new Premier units?

The people who suffer from the vintagtism in audio are special breed of Audio Morons™. Those people discovered a single focus of interests in some kind of vintage item and this focus became a point an unconditional dedication and fanatical devotion. ...

In the John Potis’ article about the Moronity of Audio Dealers published at 6moons.com Mr. Potis asked: “If we get the government we deserve, why not audio?”

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I could not agree more. Above a certain price point, another thing that should be standard procedure is what Lamm has been doing since day one; and that is to establish a file for each component made, recording whenever p...

Recently an audio guy visited me. I played to him some music as, as I uselessly do - from all possible sources and we ended up to have a conservation which sources is able to produce more interesting result. The people who hear my playback know t...

I would like to say bye-bye to the readers of this site as it is highly possible that my site will be closed soon for a few years. If my new house buying ceremony will sail at the end of this month then I will most likely kill one or two workers ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
[/quote] Funny it took 2.5 hours to build the San Audio Kit for 6E5P. The 6E5P is at 150V (a bit low for it but it is OK), loaded with 15K and coupled with 2A3 via a cap. The 6E5P is biased with one 3.6V lithium ba...

If I say that it was horrible with San Audio 2A3 driven with buttery biased 6E5P then I really meant it. I got home today tune it on and it was so bad that decided that it shell not use it as is. Even though it an experimental amps but still it...

To my surprise I got a lot of inquiries about the future Macondo’s 7th channel. I say surprise because I do not particularly feel that people truly understand what Macondo is all about. I have written a page dedicated to Macondo

The peruse the similarity of “live” sound and the sound reproduced by a playback system is one of the most foolish notion that the audio marketing people implanted into the feeble brains of audiophiles. Never, under no circumstances compare “live” so...

I speak with people, receiving emails, read others comments here and there and I constantly surprised how the accidentally obtained and unreasonably interpreted data become a wide spared audiophile myths.

Anyhow, here is the mystery… The system completely got misbalanced imagining-vise. It sounds like each driver time-misaligned and the sounds are flying like wounded in ass gazelles all over the room. It actually even funn...

[quote user="Antonio J."] I said I'm a moron ;-).[/quote]
I am not very pleased that many people who only know me via Web chronically misused a word Moron. I very easy grant the “Moronity Status” to many people in audio but I do it not only because ...
