I hate to provide what the audio people call “equipment recommendations”. Whoever has sent me private emails asking me about buying or trying one of another audio component know that I usually suggest do not bother me or propose to them going to hell...

If you thoughtfully read my site then here and there (particularly in the articles about Lamm ML2) you read my “absurd” comments that the best performing system is the system that do best Sound while the power amplifiers not even plugged in the p...

Actually I would like to stay at on the subject of this thread - the benefits of critiques and the benefits of positive perception of critiques. I less care about corporations as they have no personal consciousness but I rather target my attention to...

Manuel, I think you missed the whole point of my post.
I did not say that musicians being better than others just based on the music they play, although I might see rational for some people, including me, to advocate this point. However, in context...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It played well, though I question if it makes sense to use that caliber music for audio evaluations. [/quote]

I may have a point on this
some years ago, I had some confidence with the owner of a shop, and he let me use the demo equipment, though in fact my budget didn´t allow to buy him more than a few cheap things.one day I was psycothic listenig to s...

Reading the Stefano Bertoncello's Blog about his trip to Japan I was trying to detect any signs of interesting Sound. It looks like he Stefano was caught by sound of ALE installation in Audio Tekne.

[quote user="Saturntube"]A the CES show the selling price was $ 100 thousand dollars for the speakers only and $ 200 k for the whole system with Viola Xovers and amplifiers. [/quote]

Of course i used the 515-G. this famous speaker suited very well to our bass horn...as any other bass horn ! the only problem with the 515-G was a upper end a bit...noisy with our 6db crossover.When we started with Cyrille-audio a project of a 15" fo...

Thirty Hertz,
I do not know it and I do not think that at this site there are any people who are active audio archeology. The site has a few Hungarian members but I do not think they post. If anything try the Audio Heritage forum.

Josh, I think that you touched more complicated subject then you think. Let me to explain why I feel this way. The fact that I advocate a dogmatic, religiously-stubborn, almost paranoid time alignment of the channels is not a secret. I do feel very c...

[quote user="Serge"] The sound I like most was the one at Audio Tekne's room. I never listened to them before. The speakers were very ugly. I'd say extremely ugly. And 4-way, drive units arranged as if by chance. The big ugly turntable cost 53000 eur...

Hm, the example with Wilson is much more complicated then you think. Wilson are very much misunderstood and mis-presented products. From certain prospective they well worth their money. Still, in context of this thread: problem with Wilson is not Wil...

[quote user="Paul S"] So, here we are, adrift on the great big sea of audio tomfoolery, without a metaphorical paddle. If we can on the one hand hear any and every change in our systems, then this implies that everything is worth considering. If we a...

It always amazed me that among the people who circle around audio there is a sentiment that audio might require none-presentational evidences. I look at those full of pomposity and self-assured individuals who would talk about anything and who would ...

Here is an article by Leonard Norwitz that I think some of you might find motivating. I do not know Mr. Norwitz but it sounds like dinked too mach Qvortrup’s coca-cola. Anyhow, although I do not agree with some (sometimes many) of the Mr. Norwitz’s c...

I would like to share more of my troughs about the ESD

that come to mind inspired by the company come to existence.
I do feel that it is an ultimate we dream of et...

The subject of “Third Country” might be interesting but
depressing. It is depressing because from
what I see the nations where audio was not developed by western paths did offer
any of own authentic development of vision but rather just copy ...

Amir, I certainly will not argue that many professional musicians have „easy playback“ with no demand for audiophile artifacts in their sound. This is often because they are drawn into the music at a „different“ level. The imaging that the audiophile...

At the beginning, audio was a scientific event. People like Bell, Marconi, Edison all were interested in playback of audio outside of the original performance. One used a telephone, another radio and yet another a medium in between for storage. I thi...

I think you also mentioned that you were involved with the Voyd (which for a Pink Triangle user as I was back then, looked very charming). I recall Voyd being recently acquired by Audio Note UK; are you affiliated with them?Anyway, I actually wa...

a Hong Kong-based company DIY Hifi Supply is selling RIAA EQ modules, the first modulesthat I have seen at 10kOm. It is something that Thorsten did not do commercially… but if the silks sound good then it might be VERY interesting. Is anyone kno...
