Who listens to the Mahler 1, "Titan"? Me either until, refusing to come down from Kubelik's New World, I re-tried K's Mahler 1, done here with Vienna Philharmonic, some time back.I talked about my music/sound "Divergence" epiphany on the P...

The only “contemporary “stereo records that I love in past was by Rafael Kubelik with Fischer-Dieskau, Giacomotti and Bergonzi. The orchestral part of that La Scala play is amassing. Still, in my view it is not the best Rigoletto and mono recor...

I would like to remind that many, unfortunately very many people use VTA for a tonal balance of their analog setups. DO NOT DO IT! VTA is not the tool that should be used to make sound more or less tonally brighter or to make the LF more or less damp...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Ok, I just read your "Melquides Remote biasing". This technic can not be duplicate in my amp due to DC coupling, the C3G (I dont use 6E5P) driver stage basically adjust the 6C33C current in the output stage. Just for curiosity,...

Quotes from Romy in blue :"...If you are not in very large room and your bass section are not 90dB sensitive then take one of yours left ML2.0, bring it to right channel and drive with it the right’s channel bass system instead of M1.1. It will ...

It is exactly what the “End of Life” means – you know all necessary answers and have no needs to prove anything to anyone. I heard from you before that you do not like 834PT’s sound, I presume that it was ether bad 834PT, or extraordinary-horrible st...

Paul S wrote:"typical "stereo" L and R separation is mostly an engineering hodge-podge". I do not disagree with that statement. I do feel the major advantage of stereo is not "stereo", but the separation of parts of the information in the signal ...

I must be missing something - or not be ready for this yet. Here are my understanding problems:1) he starts with the "left" speaker and searches for the best bass. I would think that one should search individually with the left and right and pick the...

I too believe that "reproduction" has nothing to do with my audio experience as there is nothing to reproduce. There is so much missing in any recorded signal that the "original" geometry can not even be close to restored. At best, we could create a ...

The second scope using your tweak is much cleaner and defined. When you believe you've got it and can share it with us, please do, I'll try it too. In my setup getting less noise will be fantastic. But I warn you, I'm technically challenged and I not...

I am faced with remodeling a bit. I started out with all my equipment on an Arcici Lead Balloon rack and two speakers, which was nice and simple. The mono SE-DHT tube amplifiers I built are now on either side. I recently have come into po...

After much talking with people I am still at lost what cartridge to get in order does not worry about cartridges anymore. It looks like I “fixed” the Shelter but now I need to take it off and to remove dust from within the cartridge – the ceremony I ...

Points about the self-sound of the PH-77 are well taken, not that I'll be spending 8K on anything any time soon, regardless of its "value".My own K&K phono stage is totally Spartan, just to avoid all the circuitry that typically facilitates the s...

Romy, it has just struck me that you could try and find someone who could replace with a smaller diameter diamond, a 17 mil or even a 12 mil! Then you could experiment with which type best suits your favourite mono pressings. This is what professiona...

The BP30-2 post has hex head. You might get any hex wrench and it is no problem anymore. I found that that the Audioquest wrench is VERY comfortable as my posts are flimsy for my cables (Dominus is VERY heavy) and I shall not apply overly high to...

There are at least two threads going here. I am onto the idea that Lamm has finally released his latest-and-greatest uber-amp, and I am trying to glean some idea of how it performs, other than the political mirror test. Obviously the...

Interesting article, Guy. Typical of people to pursue something from the POV of reinforcing their own prior observations/investments, with no "control" and no "blind".Not that I'm any different here. Of course what I am doing is homing in...

This weekend a local audio guy came to my palace and was bitching about his bass. I have small 1 cub feet pair sealed foxes with 8” version of my 25W drivers, I think they are 21W. I used them on the side of my bed to allow my old Koshka to climb in ...

Well, my Great Recordings of the Century EMI CD has arrived of the Opp 53, 57, 109 & 110 piano sonatas by G. It's almost reversed what I expected to hear in that, from what I have heard of his reputation, I would have expected him to ...

This is kind if totally separate subject: the every single sonata by the "adequate" player. Sometimes I feel in the same way and sometimes, in fact most of the time, I feel that when you get a large collection of those sonatas by a single pian...

What a relief! No matter how many times it happens, at some point I always wind up adjusting my system to compensate for bad electricity! I know I keep saying it, and it is embarassing, but it's still true! I live near a school now ...

That Italian set was notable too for having been pressed with vacuum-tube technology, nor did it exhibit the usual DGG over-miking and mixing. In short, the good sound reinforced the good performances.
Any comments on the earlier mono Mravinsky set?...
