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

I saw this newly released boxset by Sony of all the recordings made by Gould over a period spanning about a quarter of a century and my first reaction was that Sony was unashamedly milking the proverbial cow...It does however look like the remasterin...

I see some posts predicting that the use of bronze for the Mid-Range horns (see photos above) would result in ringing... Well, I respectfully beg to differ; I think this is one area where the designer may have done well... Too bad he polished them.

Thanks very much Romy and Dan for the input.
With the exception of a structure to locate the horns, I have all the tools necessary to make the measurements.
Though this is all happening in France where DSPs and TADS rule* (see note at end), all...

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...

I still thinking about this ides of ultra sharp digital filtrations and for whatever reasons it fascinates me. It is not the I am consider to do anything with it – it is absolutely not needed for me – still I might like the idea as a topological solu...

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...

Well, I do not know what it would mean. Regardless his “constitutional status” Row’s article is much more informative and much more educational for people who have interest in the MAXXes then the brainless saliva dropping that many industry cheerlead...

It is imposable entering the holiday season to walk across Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood and do not be “abused” by sound of Nutcracker coming from each open window. I just returned from my 15 minuets walk across Beacon Hill to my favorite Antonio...

Actually (probably because of the phase coherence and tight dispersion control) they sound very good even with some basic equipments, like the small 300 USD Parasound zAmp for example, but I like them most with the pro MC2 Audio MC1250 amps or the Fr...

OK, maybe it needs a bit more detail ,or say perspective as regards to this audio-cooking effort. NO QUESTION, we first have to look after the object before we joy-ride, or joye-feast, oh yes! I mentioned quality and caring somewhere just a short...

I once came across this article on Stereo and Phase by JM LeCleach. It has interesting considerations on the subject of imaging:

Romy,let me step up to the plate and get shot in the foot or what ever. A lot of what you relate is of course right - BUT, 'where the is smoke - there is a fire" as the saying goes.So, there must be a reason for this 'abnormal' notice of honking horn...

Mr. Witmer seems like a very thoughtful and well-spoken person who is taken with the aesthetics/approach of various Japanese sound Senseis, most of whom are in turn rooted in "historical" American and/or English audio sensibilities. I'm afraid ...

Gentleman, I very much not deny to you rights to like whatever you like. I would question way you insist others to like it but it is OK, apparently it now you feel. The point it that this is a site about advanced audio and that Netherlands girl-with-...

[quote user="steverino"]People are not required to like or dislike anything. I guess the question you raise would require some additional info to answer. Some people have Austro German music as their reference and therefore don't really like styles w...

Rakesh,Two things I see that may or may not turn out to be an issue:1) The relatively narrow stance of the front wheels; depending on how heavily you load the top of the frame, stability could be a bit on the limit when moving things around, especial...

There is nothing more absurd in audio than to see how people wish very sober faces pontificate about absolute BS and treat themselves with seriousness of NASSA engineers. Here is the new round:

The whole room (L-shaped) is larger as you all noticed, but as Roman saw in my Blog , the listening space is smaller - i.e. about 6,5 x 4,5 meters with low 2,70 ceiling - and is a perennial work in progress... yes, the Stereo Lab 1000 hz is a true wa...

and thanks for one of my favorite audio/music websites.
Regarding Chung, he is also one of my current favorites and I am lucky enough to live in France where he is conducting quite often. He has conducted a Scherezade in 2003 with Orch Radio Fran...

Paul,After looking at some photos of Stock Altec horns, though they appear reasonably stout, I can believe they would still resonate when excited by sound pressure alone, as they are still on the thin side if left as bare metal.See them here : http:/...

Ok, now see why the French cars, all of those Peugeots, Citroens and Renaults, are as bad as they are: because Jessie instead of working is listening his headphones. The media to play at work: would it be hard drive of CD player is irrelevant. I do p...
