The name of this thread a bit cryptic and need to be explained, as the Alzheimer in my vocabulary means slightly different things then it is commonly recognized. When I was 13 years old I read a book (I do not remember what it was) that was dedi...

Morricab,
Of curse you are very much correct but I always thought that what you said is understandable by default.
When I am talking about the ability of playbacks to care the “absolute tone” I indisputably meat sound reproduction of the “best” in...

[quote user="hifitodd"] Frankly, from my perspective your stance on DPoLS mirrors that of the typical audio-moron voodooism. Here is some essentially non-obtainable state that when realized will make the listener "hypotized" by thew newfound mu...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering.[/quote]Well, digital X-Overs would appear to o...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]Since all audio folks know that the wall gives us highly variable power (voltage being just about the least important aspect), it occurs to me that a way to measure it that includes all the various parameters would be highl...

[quote user="msaudio"]Your Typical Acoustical Suspension-type Loudspeaker enclosure witch has less then 90 db at 1 watt does not belong with a horn system that starts at 110db at 1 watt, even when you ad more then 1 driver, it is still way to far...

It is interesting to recall how audio started in my life. Somebody asked and I was puling out from my memories some unconnected fragments was really enjoying to recall those times…
I do not relay remember how old I was. I was then probably 10, as a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Rakesh,I think you’ve missed the accent of my battery post. We do not argue abstract topologies but we argue the validity of topology in respect to sonic results. I hope we all agree that we do not exactly know WHY affect...

One sees this question often posed, and I think rightly so. I've been introduced to some fine music and performance by my friends and associates. In fact, they're better than reviewers!
So I was dismayed when I started off a post with...

[quote user="darkmoebius"] That's because "off the shelf" amps can be easily resold for little or no loss of money if they are not to the buyer's liking. The Melquiades, on the other hand, leaves the builder with $3,000 worth of parts not easily reso...

People frequently ask me what would be a good speaker to buy for $5.000, for $10.000 for $20.000 for $50.000 and so on. The more I think about it looking at the park of available loudspeakers the more I come to the observation that there are no good ...

I had many interesting listening experiences while I used the Water Drop’s Macondo. I would try to surmise briefly the sonic consequences of the Water Drooping. “Me” and “briefly”, would it be possible? Well, where did you see a Jewish boy who refuse...
