Some people say the BSO is the most "European" sounding US orchestra. Well, when listening to the recordings of the orchestra under the baton of Charles Münch it sounds truly wonderful and... indeed like a fine European orchestra. The Deutsche Grammo...

When Srajan Ebaen was a little boy he loved to help in his uncle’s in French restaurant. They lived in a small German village, filled with many pragmatic eateries that served large meals with sausages and potato. The uncle opened his “La Pergol...

[quote user="drdna"]Thanks tuga. It is a nice article, but my French is a little rusty. It seems that he does very little more than explain the limitations of stereo versus binaural reproduction.
From this came the schools of thought of quadropho...

Actually the approach “this is working fine because SET amp has a correct harmonic reconstruction" I find is very wrong in audio. It is similar to what Thorsten written in his compilation about the loudspeakers problems: “I'm an Engineer in the end, ...

This miserable Japanese freaks did it again!

Part 4: AudioThere were very- very few interesting products that attacked my attention.

I need to admit that I absolutely adore my listing room. I like absolutely everything about it and if I enumerate what hat I like about it then the list will be long. Ironically, from a perspective of self-education I sometime try to nail down wh...

Here's another french approach which I think is similar to romy's earlier idea about having the carpenter build the cabinets into the ba...

My experience with ~10k-sized generators is limited to mid-fi systems, with alcohol, etc., to make up for any shortfalls. The thing to keep in mind is that the "small" (smaller than a house...) generators are designed to be just "adequate" as a "pow...

Hi Romy:as I don't consider the thread as emptied, yet, I'd wish to add some thoughts after more days of listening to my system.I re-read an half-page chapter in French from Jean Hiraga's "Les Hautparleur" essay, concerning time-alignement and p...

There is that, but I cannot recollect having been to a 3* restaurant and it having been crap. That said, whilst all that precision and pretty presentation is all well and good, the sort of food that I now enjoy tends to be of the comfort variety, or ...

The 4th movement of Beethoven's was playing on the radio the other day and my ears perked up. I almost didn't recognize it at all. I was quite surprised to find out that it was performed by my humble local Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal and the ch...

More on plastic-seat-sweat-syndrome later.Looking at the Cinematech Embassy, and reading the comments about its ability to support one's head, I conclude the ideal seat may not require a head support that goes all the way up behind the head... Th...

Tuga,I do not know what JMLC had written in that paper – I can’t read French but from looking at the pictures I might only presume that he was trying to prove or disprove the Point Source idea by looking at the souses live sound vs. recorded-and-then...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Scooter, I wonder how many people among those who propose those modifications do understand what they deal with when we are taking about a more or less properly reproduced sub 30Hz signal. It sounds like arrogant comment, n...

What do you know; it looks like I will be attending the Montreal show next week. Amy wants to go to Québec, for a cultural trip. We will be in Portsmouth on Friday and will take north from there. I did not attend audio show for a few years and frank...

By looking at it this looks like a magnetostatic (isodynamic?) design rather than a ribbon. There's a Danish guy who has done good research on the subject: http://www.soundimage.dk/Different-col/Magneto.htm (you can click on "ribbon" for more in...

OK, I am keeping my new The Loudspeaker(s), and I will be selling my large "Diamond Edition BassZilla" OB speakers that feature OB high-passed Lowther DX-4s running wide range (NOT full range!) over 15" Audax PR380-M2 woofers in integrated BR boxes u...

Sound was decent today but the electricity was just bad enough to bugger the music.I tried to listen to a number of LPs and at one point Alicia De Larrocha was sounding pretty good; then it went away and I thought I'd just compare Gould's French Suit...

Scooter, I know what you ask. I wish I have a cleared time to deal with audio. Unfortunately since my move I am engaged into a chain of events that has nothing to do with audio and that I do not particularly enjoy, but I need to do it now. This stupi...

Well written article, I think, and he is good enough to share right away that he is a "vintage" guy, and an AN guy, which helps me contextualize his observations, even though he does not reveal the nature of the $$$$$$ "ultimate horn speakers" (...

Lot's of discussion about radio and tuners lately, so I'll throw in my 2 cents...I live on top of a hill in Seattle. Still the reception is sketchy, and I was seeking a temporary solution until I put an antenna on my roof. Yesterday, the ...

Last Sunday I was driving across New Hampshire and WGBH-FM broadcasted the 1929 performance of Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 in G major, "Surprise". It was Boston Symphony Orchestra under Serge Koussevitzky. As many times I heard the work it was alwa...

[quote user="mats"]I agree about the fragility but perhaps less so about "toy like". I am just now hearing for the first time Beethoven's 7th by Nanut and the second movement is very lovely, beautiful, mesmerizing and as the Eroica seemingly well und...

The rumors are that Warner has bought licenses of all Svetlanov's recordings and they are reissuing them now. So far the Myaskovsky set is available only in Europe
