What I find irksome is exactly this: [quote]Hi-Fi
companies and Hi-Fi marketing are lost touch with the nature of sound
reproduction and so deep in disassociation with the means of Real Audio
that they are forced to pull out of ...

I have in my basement a room that I do not use and I am in process of building Finnish cedar sauna in there. The pre-sauna room will have a fireplace, shower, rest facility and the rest ordinary sauna suspects. While I am constructing the frame and w...

There are few evil things within the mechanism of High-End pricing. I will start form the beginning of my list:
1) Disassociation of manufacturers from consumers
The High-End audio manufacturers do not target their efforts to provide “service”...

What I found fascinating in relationship between high-end audio and prices that price high-end is not a subject of “benefit of purpose” but the subject of believing in values. Without cognitive understanding this simple difference the industry stupid...

In digging through the support section of the Amarra Music Player web page, and finally ending up on the FAQ, http://www.sonicstudio.com/amarra/faq.html I came upon this :Supported Audio FormatsNOTE: Amarra only supports uncompressed PCM files (AIFF,...

The “best midrange comes from compression drivers”. I see somebody like Haralanov would be very much opposed to this comment. The irony is that I would be opposed as well to this comment. I would say that the best midrange at over 107dB sensitiv...

I truly fill sorry for those people. They endure a dally need to writhe some remarkable BS in order to make the stupid audio people to buy adios scrap. That it truly demanding task!
Myles B. Astor is a long time audio writer. He wrote a good s...

Recently, I would say the last 2-3 years, I detected a very foolish tendency that audio people are brewing within themselves. A typical today’s audiofool holds within itself a hope about existing of a “secret”, no discovered yet, SS high power amplif...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I mean that EQ is a fine “tactical solution” but it a very bad strategic direction. [/quote]
I guess the question of the strategic value is dependent on the strategy.[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Look, there ar...

Interestingly that I eventually decided to read the Mike Fremer review about the Continuum turntable. I was trying quite hard but I was not able to read it. The content was none-readable and revolting as in a beginning of each sentence the Framer jus...

The reference object of my site brought me to the page where some kind of audio people scrutinize Mike Fremer: http://stereocentral.tv/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5697&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=105It is given that Fremer is an idiot and t...

Hey Boys, Remember even if you use a modern "pancake" compression driver, you still have no control over the flare rate the manufacturer used within the phasing plug. And most of the time they are not willing to tell you, or they don't even know...

Hello again kitty...Analogous to the lack of perfect "audiomoron" transparency of something like an L1 or tannoys or koetsus, I can see the general direction of your thinking regarding the "oops" nature of developing a musical transducer in room.The ...

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...

Just now, anyone who might build "proper" amps has also a built-in pre-meditated agenda. In other words, he is not only building amps but he is also - and primarily - trying to glorify himself - and his "main idea" - in the process.The truth is,...

Are hearing tests required?Are listening skills tests, done under blind cond...

Well, there is no question that power companies pay zero attention to the complaints of audiophiles, neither shall they. The power companies are in pusses to sell power and unhappiness of a done or so fringe consumer is understandably not their conce...

This is very complex and superbly important concept and with this I have pissed a lot of people in audio. So, while you participate in evaluation of an audio element DO NOT recognized the sonic benefits of this element in it’s comparing to other simi...

Clark, I just for fan Goggled "My name's Cody; just a

opinion". Who cares whose employee he is? He is an idiot who not even able to fake a sensible comment. ...

Two weeks ago when I realized that something was wrong with my Shelter I asked a guy that I know “How people buy cartridges nowadays?” He said “They talk a lot with other people”. “I will not do it”, was my reply. Well, not two weeks after I ha...

Hi Romy,It is with great interest that I frequently visit your site and enjoy your observations on audio-moronity. While I have to admit that I am at a loss wether I could be qualified for being an audio-moron, I can live with the fact that others ob...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]any chance of a similar climb down on the 'adequate but not exceptional' 834P?[/quote]Not really. The 834PT still holds ground and the more I hear different phonostages the more firmly it does. I can’t tell you if it is due...

I'm a phono moron, but having had several phono preamps, I think I can understand what finds Romy right in the EAR 834P, which I love. I'm not as skilled and crazy as to try to make all the Thorsten mods in it by myself, but I've tried some tube swap...

I, in my stupid imagination, thought that I will be able to close my R&E saga as I thought I found a truly wonderful new home for myself. The palace turned out to be grossly, I would say fraudulently, misspresented. Got home very disappointed an...

Paul,I'm with you waiting for a bit more enlightenment and less rhetoric on the subject. As you stated if e.g. a Bass reflex does certain things wrong there are some known 'recipes' / fixes to try, and some will work. We would want to utilize a u...

This is the last article in the planed overview. Here I would like to cover options available among commercially available High-Efficiency systems. As you might expect it will not be too exiting.
In a ways commercial systems inherent all problems of...

Romy, Sure, the tone could be a bit more special ie: delicate and colorful (sorry for lack of the right word). Thats why I have come back to these pages to read and hopefully understand a bit more and find the right incentive to tinker further. I hav...
