If not they, then who?The Cat[/quote]Romy, I know, you are one of the very rare guys in Audio who want to push the curtain, to improve reproduction and to serve good knowledge to the mass of discriminated Music Lovers....

Unicon, when you lose the 6 screws on same driver equally and sound changes then what exactly you feel is changing in sound. I do not mind you reporting that sound change but I still not at ease that you associate the change with phase. I do not thin...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]2) Very smartly rolled off HF. Bidat is not the most advanced HF performer but any other DAC that I heard (you can put here a long list of the best DACs you know off) are too bright for my taste. I do feel ...

Yes, Paul, I did not think this way but you are very correct. Technics TT, Denon 103 cartridges, Fostex speakers, “single girl with balalaika” music and Adcom CD players are kind of come along all together very well. It is not that I have something t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]fiogf49gjkf0d1) 3) The common mode filter you have at the PS’s input- why do you use them? They do eat some dynamics. As many time I removed them from all imaginary components as many time I witnessed better sound. ...

The regular readers of my audio blog probably have read the thread: “How to record FM broadcasts” at:
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?postID=1644
As you know I turned into to do it digitally and I do like it quite a lot. A couple months ...

Got the AES/EBU to S/PDIF adaptor and it turned out to work very nice. I do not have “audiophile-approved” better AES/EBU cables but among those cables that I have the S/PDIF Synapses + the adaptor sound more interesting then the native AES/EBU + non...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have to say, that I genially like the new 99.5. I do not have as perfect reception as I had with 97.9 with absolutely clear, no noise background. Still, thankfully the compression of the new 99.5 is very low and last ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I also have some problem with my T85 Multiplex Decoder to read the REL composite signal. The T85’s decoder read Schwarz’s signal perfectly but it is finicky REL’s signal. I did not figure out yet hat is going on.[/quo...

I have no idea where this saga with REL leads me. Even though I do have substantial sonic improvement over the original REL version I still do not know if I like this tuner all together. The 50 years all tube tuner with 17 tubes is very freaky thing....

It is truly perfect evening here, in the Romy the Cat’s castle. The weather today in Boston is phenomenal, temperature just spot on, with no wind of humidity. I woke up just 15 minutes before the BSO broadcast, warmed up the Milqs, Schwarz and Lavry....

…and I do not know how to describe the difference about it. A sweet spot of acoustic system is a location where Sound of speaker in a room are “focused” together. The sweet spot with Grand Utopia is a very specific distance at wish the problems with ...

Stefano, it is funny that you have mentioned the “an old, little cinema in a small town”. I do not know if you did it unintentionally or you meant as some kind of sarcastic self-deprecated joke. What I mean is that the initial industry demands for ru...

I put a couple small files form today broadcast. Generally I screed it up and I have learned later on that some of the sound cards setting might be better, the recording level at the AD was 8dB less then it should be and as it turned out that I have ...

Interpreting, John. When you hook is up can you write up your observations about the sound of this thing, perhaps in a different thread.… I might, in a few weeks, will be able to add quite a lot of new observations about the Sansui TU-X1. I als...

is to become better , more aware listener. The rest is a secondary issue and you won't feel the need to ask those questions .There is always the issue of whats really possible technically speaking. I disagree with Romy's opinion that 99% of audio peo...

I have been running now a digital crossover at 20Hz, 3th order with some kind of shitty power amp. The digital crossover has a remote control. I would not say that I like the quality of my ULF but I am telling you that True ULF implementation is abso...

I hear a rumor that Sadurni Acoustics was presented at recent Chicago audio show. Interesting, that Jorge went out of closet and decided to invest in full time career of speaker making. I wish to extend to him a full my full condolences an d my great...

Do you have a website or blog where you write about your project? And the way it has been evolving?In the sense that videos and sound clips with no explanations are pretty much masturbatory, i think i see why the cat thinks you're an idiot with no di...

One more thing I would like to add: what if despite of the oversized throat problems we have a task (as you, NL, proposed) to use the overthroat horns (overthroat - horn with oversized throat size, let it be one more Romynizm). I think the dealing wi...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Also, I'm convinced that a too-big space is horrible for audio as well as being non-conducive to good mental concentration (some of the best ideas are born on the toilet!) [/quote]
The subject of playback in very...

I am not sure what you say. You said that you are able to do time alignment by by-ear listening “a well known single instrument recordings, then to more complex and textured recordings”… Can you tell me what you are listing for while you are doing it...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]acoustical impedance transformation gives no explanation to the practical applied sound that you might get from a horn.[/quote]
i am sure there must be differences between theory and practice. i would like to know what ...

Yes, even I disagree with some of your rationales but I would agree that the installation above is “not interesting”, it does look like it was practically thrown senselessly together and overall it is something that I typically call “not simulative i...

[quote user="cv"] That said, I do have is a single 160Hz/1.5" finally up and running on a compression driver, and it's a different world - stunning. Actually the results are exactly as JJ described. [/quote] The JJ, is it Jeffrey Jackson? I have no i...

Decoud, in order to say anything useful I would like to know to the following: 1) Where the tweeter will be installed? 2) What the size of the room? 3) What are you planning to install the speaker in your room? 4) What LF solution do you consider...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] It may be asking too much to expect the LF horn to play well up to and beyond 250Hz. [/quote] I would expect this horn to go much lower, let say doe to 150Hz. You if it was a front firing horn without loading to a boundary...

I think your problem with acceptance of “absolute tone” derives from your visualization audio tone is an imitation of musical tone. It is correct t form one side and it is a strategic mistake from another side. Let me to state it again and it is very...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]There is nothing subjective in music reproduction if a person has original, natural and none-corrupted reference points.[/quote]Forgive me for saying so, but since Bishop Berkley and David Hume it should be well clear...
