It is interesting: in NY’s concert I picked the NPoR’s recording of Pathetique issued by DELOS DE-3379. I never seen this CD anywhere (it is too new – 2007 February) and it is not even listed in Delos catalog. If you were fool enough to miss the NPoR...

I did put the coupling air cap into the game. It works fine but I have now some reservations as well. I need to listen it for some time to find out what it going on.

Hello, would it be possible for us to see the diagrams and schematics behind the Zarathustra II in the same spirit as the Melquiades was conceived, noting that the best of ideas are formed with the purest of sentiments?[quote]It is Dima’s and my stro...

Paul, it has nothing to do with noise reduction devices. It has also very little to do with the media on which the recording took place – would it be LF, tape or digital file. Audio it is about expression of musical spirituality through the semi-barb...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]When you are taking about “caps at higher frequencies”, then what do you
mean? The line level, the speaker level, the line level between? Do not forget
that a RL filter is always preferable over C filter.[/quote]It was re...

It always amazed me that among the people who circle around audio there is a sentiment that audio might require none-presentational evidences. I look at those full of pomposity and self-assured individuals who would talk about anything and who would ...

Oliver, I do not know and I do not particularly care about what is going on out there with synthetic reverb. There are few major reasons for it.

There is large army of people who dedicate quite a lot of efforts in audio for “voicing” audio components, believing that different passive elements of electric circuit, cables, directivity of cables and many other things are “gravely important”.&nbs...
