Stopped by at local audio friend this Sunday and watch some Brunner, Mahler and Wagner at his HT playback. He has integrated playback installation and video is played at his main system. I am not a fan of good quality of video playback and feel that...

[quote user="Steradian"] One area where standards have failed is in HDTV. I have no sympathy for the morons who decided to have 2 standards, 720p and 1080i. It is clear they prostrated themselves to corporate bribery to allow such to be called ...

Got today a December 2010 PS Audio Newsletter with an announcement from Paul McGowan:

I think it has already been stated. Batteries in audio are inherently of limited utility. It is a tendency of audiophiles to dedicate themselves to a single "silver bullet" instead of building the system based on the particular needs and compromises ...

Today’s prices in Hi-Fi do not base upon any other principle then “whatever market bears”. The luck of objective evaluation methods and the completely un-liberated market of Hi-Fi consumers make the “market bearing” principles being completely not ap...

This subject of prices in High-End Audio is obviously endless. We can complain for years blaming the $80.000 for a pair of amplifiers, $42.000 for DACs, $29.000 for phonocorrector, 125.000 for pair of loudspeakers, $17.000 for CD transpor...

There are few evil things within the mechanism of High-End pricing. I will start form the beginning of my list:
1) Disassociation of manufacturers from consumers
The High-End audio manufacturers do not target their efforts to provide “service”...

Observations and Thoughts from theRocky Mountain Audio FestBy Earl Geddes
First I want to thanks all of the kind people who came by the GedLee room. I hope that we both learned something from these meetings.
The Fest this year had about twice as ma...

It's dead. Nobody cares about sound anymore. Esp. not about passive listening. The few music lovers left there, are usually immune to their systems, and lack the knowledge to build their own. Most high end audio is a fraud anyway. I agree with Earl c...

If it is possible to generalize which group of individuals in audio possess maximum amplitude of idiocy and at the same time archived the minimum audio result then unquestionably the leading position would be belong the audio industry marketing boys ...

I have in my basement a room that I do not use and I am in process of building Finnish cedar sauna in there. The pre-sauna room will have a fireplace, shower, rest facility and the rest ordinary sauna suspects. While I am constructing the frame and w...

Thanks de Charlus. Indeed countless hours with CAD soft and redoing the thing didproduce a nice visual effect (my pic is quite shitty and deformed...sorry).How it will behave? Time will show. Listening to audio racks is one of the last thingson eart...

Tokyo is no longer the electronics center of the world. But in the Akihabara district, there are still a lot of physical electronics / audio parts shops that DIY people should keep in mind.
These shops are generally mom-and-pop sized and may carr...

I have owned a PurePower 2000i (prior to the company moving its production back to Canada) and while it had a positive effect on the playback it created more issues than it solved with its noisy switching recharging circuit and the internal fans. The...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]the “sound” of these oscillators/inverters is something
that describes the sound of electricity. Tesla for sure would make great batteries
but I do not think that they would case to make oscillators “good for sound”.[/quo...

I think you will only be able to decide about this after listening to some operas or other video-audio through the big system. The analog output of the video player may be good enough for the purpose, or it may sound terrible through the Milqs/Macon...

A site visitor send me a link from Arthur Salvatore and told
me that Arthur think along my lines:

Arthur’s comments and I would ad...

When I was 12-13, and heard for a first time floorstanders connected to system consisted of separated devices. I grew up behind the Iron Certain where sound and music choices was extremely limited . My dad had HITACHI TRK radio-cassetophone, it was ...

[quote user="Axel"] I think, I mentioned it before, if your system works (for you) you listen to music ONLY, MOSTLY anyway, and all this definition stuff feels more and more like mind-fucking, that takes you away from the real thing -- the music, wha...

… and this certainly violates the idea of populization of audio by consumer publication. The absoluteness of audio orienteers dose not live in the audio loneliness but rather into a strict individualism of audio. However this individualism is applica...

Let's first try to go over some concepts to see if the both of you are speaking the same language (from Sphile's glossary):
coloration
An audible "signature" with which a reproducing system imbues all signals passing through it.

I just received mine on Friday. I am amazed at how easy to use and this machine is and how convenient it is compared to my old VPI. I always dreaded cleaning records with the VPI. With the audio desk I put the record in, push a button, come back ...

[quote user="mem916"]I think there must be something to the theory that there is debris down in the grooves that the VPI and other similar machines cannot get out, based on the difference I hear after cleaning with the new machine. I admit that I ha...

Fuck the Fremer and anathema to each single audio product he touches. Sometime those whore do play the primitive publicity games in order to send a message of “own integrity”. That all BS and I do not even want to talk about it. Any single audio pro...

Still, among the 0.000000001% of all people who do audio and who do accidently have a listening consciousness AND at the same time do have and interest in subjects of “Abstract Audio” there is “thinking”. Rgs, Romy the ca...
