[quote user="Gregm"] We may postulate that … compression is beneficial for soundstaging.[/quote]

...disconects you from outside world and music plays "inside" you. The first impression is redundancy of Soundstage or even imaging as you become one with music. Then you don't care about any problems your playback system may have, like resulotion, t...

Here is the list of the thing to do with Vitavox S2 in order to use it in 4-ways installations. The S2 must not be used in 2, 3 ways systems. It possible to do with S2 whatever you wish but pretty much any other way to utilize them produces some very...

[quote user="steverino"]I made the mistake of clicking on the first link. It is a dangerous thing to try to parody Stereophile or TAS articles or writers. At least I think that was what the writer was attempting to do. If he was serious then he is wr...

[quote user="Saturntube"] The difference soundwise in this half range 180hz and up horn module between the Leak TL12.1 amps and the First watt F5 clone was big, mainly the tonal balance is very different with the midrange sounding thin. Highs w...

Haralanov,
I spoke with a guy who consulted me during my Electo-Vitavox project. He helped me with selection of core material, deliberated the core and calculated the right coil to keep the core mass optimally magnetized. He has over 40 experi...

Someone at AA’ sewers posted his measurements of Edgarhorn system, supplemented with a subwoofer and Fostex Tweeter. I do not know the poster personally, most likely he is another AA’s advice seeker – means another idiot - and therefore it is ha...

I few days ago an audio guy visited me. I under normal circumstances do not allow regular audio people of "this type" in my listening room, but this was the situation that I needed to do it. I said the “audio people of this type”, what did I mean? W...

so, since I so, since I could not as yet, get myself fired from this thread, and what was actually meant by my comment (…fired!), let’s see if we can get back into the subject. I obviously also listen to music, and I also deal with the mechanics/...

Yes, Markus, thanks. It is a bit too obvious that Speedysteve7 is not a typical DIYAudio moron. As the evidence: pay attention the Speedysteve7 posted information about his playback and has no following. In contrary of him installation would be 2...

I really enjoy this site. Romy has a fresh view that is actually easy to understand, if one simply reads instead of interpreting what he writes.Still, a view from "higher up" is something that many of us are not privileged to. Looking at the major co...

I know, that for many would be quite unhappy to hear about it but it is very very very very very very frequently in audio that a name, a brand and a model of audio gear are not inclusive and all-encompassing indication of the given peace of equipment...

There is nothing in playback system that is as devastating as remote control. A remote control is something that easily converts a listener into a zombie audio-Moron™ – thanks God the there is very fertile contingent of candidates among audiophi...

Well, people know my unhealthy love to “invent” the things and to grant to the “inventions” stupid naming conventions. Guilty but do not care. Here is another bright idea – the DPDP consept.

A few weeks back I bought a CD of Hans Vonk lead Saint Louis Symphony with Bruckner 4. It was not the best Bruckner 4 that I heard – the Saint Louis is not the orchestra that does the best Bruckner but it was a very nice performance, surprisingly...
