My favorite were the Classic Audio speakers. I know they have many faults, but the Fostex 500II tweeter was singing nicely. ...

OK, Romy, what about Pristine Audio? Their site looks like the usual "artificial modesty" advertising, the engineer with the "musical background" and all the fawning "support"...
Anyway, I sure like my Music and Arts Beethoven 9 CD (Furtwangler, 1...

Here are some folks who think ultra-stiff cones and cutting-edge technology are the way to go: http://polymeraudio.com/about/ I did not read all their explanations. I have never heard these speakers. Perhaps they will be at this year's THE Show, at...

I was reading
a few days back Altec audio forum that had a thread “GoodSoundClub owned by an
idiot”. In the thread a bunch of “confident about themselves” audio folks discussed
what kind crazy idiot I am and what might be underlying reasons for my...

"To me, it is perfectly clear that the resources being invested in improving absolute quality had largely evaporated by 1965, as marketing men, and accountants took over the main budget in most commercially-successful companies, a fact that seems...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Gordan, this is slightly different
concept. The presence of multiple
outputs
with volume control does not assure that each of the channel has own time delay
circuitry. Plus it look like Najda
does volume at d...

people who buy their stuff also listen to this "music", if only for
the purpose of reinforcing their self-imagined places in the crowd….[/quote]
I think this is the whole

Hi
Good news if the analogue stages of the DCX2496 is so bad.
So the improvement of a modified unit should be worth the ekstra work,
and remove some of the x-overs negative influence on the sound.
Which is always good to know beforehand.
Th...

Dan,
I do not know were you’re going with “next step”, but I do see that some people treat interaction at this site as another swamp of DIY movement. This endless DIY paranoia when people pursuit abstract BS objectives and fulfill bogus frustrations...

A few years ago I suggested to a friend of mine who foolishly was looking an audio venture to build I the mid East Cost a permanent demo room. [/quote]Way ahead of you Romy! I started with that idea back in 1982, and expanded i...

hi romy
roole number one : before critic someone's product, hear it first. these french guys did not think 5 minutes, to come to their design. they are very high skilled acoustic scientists and engeneers , and if they came to this result, there is a...

While you cannot overcome the limitations of 44.1kHz, 16bit PCM audio
format by ripping from CD to .WAV, you can still find some benefit. For
one example, dirty or scratched (cat-chewed?) CDs can often be
recovered with error correction algorithms...

Hi,I'm thinking to put up a PC to just play audio files (I'm not interesting in any kind of recording).From the previous discussions it seems that a good digital interface can be Lynx AES 16.My first question is about quality. Considering...

Romy,You say that the digital read from your transport is better than the multiple reads of CD-Rom with EAC software?Thats interesting!!! It means that it is better to read once in a 'good' way than ten times to read garbage and average it.So, all th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have to admit that some of my opponents might consider my organizational views on high-end audio too socialistic and will recognize in my view some residues of me growing up in socialistic society. Leaving aside the preju...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi, I just mean that instruments sound more real, through the Stahl-tek whether is is the decay of a high hat or the weight of a piano, 'presence' is the same I guess when the instrment just sounds more real, re the selling p...

Here is for whoever interested a write up about Berkeley DAC

To whom it might be interested. The Berkeley Audio DAC reportedly uses the Delta-Sigma Analog Devices’ DAC AD1955A. It is SACD compatible, with attenuation in the chip. I guess it might be obvious what might be the next revision of Berkeley DAC… ...

Andrew Rose runs his operation for a while. I like what he is trying to do, he has a good sense for “better” music and look like a native interest in those things.

People argue out there if a DAC need to do upsampling. I usually do not like the upsampling DAC and always prefer, or even insist to play in whatever format the source is. Some DACs do not ask you and upsample the incoming stream to 2x and higher ...

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...

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...

Generally it is very uncharacteristic subject in audio: the destiny of audio reproduction. Destiny might be only with something that has its own lifespan. Audio reproduction is in a way an imitation and therefore should hot have own destiny because i...

Reading Paul’s reply I came across to asking myself of what we call painting. Let get for instance any famous works, let I be the early Dali’s portrait of his sister “Figure at Window”. What we call as the “Figure at Window”?

[quote user="drdna"] Yes, we are saying the same thing. The problem as I have found it is that transparency is easily recognized and so there is a tendency for audiophiles to focus on this when they try to improve their systems, and this can ma...
