Sometimes ago I received an email from a NY guy that I know:
“I borrowed a friend's Sansui TU-X1 and just like I heard them at your place it sounds fantastic! What is it about this tuner? There is such an ease to the presentation and no distra...

user="rowuk"]I would maintain that much of the music available is
intended for "informed audiences". This is true if we are listening
to Stockhausen, Stravinsky - or mediocre concerts by amateurs or "semi
professionals".

Will try to answer all questions here.Romy: I understand why you do not wish to use the term “surround sound”, but it is the accepted term for what we are discussing. You may add other terminology, but it only muddies the debate until others accept i...

Rowuk, I very much on the same page with you. I
do not buy the idea that piano could "ruin" sound of those Tanoys
like it was in the case of my guy above or that it makes too much resonance in

I met a few days back a person who does high-end audio and in fact he does. He has multiple turntables, he has discrimination taste in audio components/elements, has his ideas how a playback might or should be built. For all intended purpose he i...

Well, for someone who is supposedly building a business on "better quality", things like this show the true character. Let's face it, if you pay for something, and don't get it, you get a refund. If HDTracks were interested in their customers, THEY w...

They offer 24/88 downloadable and thanks God they do not record the Audiophile Blues or the similar crap. This is a good part. The bad part is that they record at 4X and then outsource the file to vireos industry cretins to “master” them, pushing...

Andrew Rose runs his operation for a while. I like what he is trying to do, he has a good sense for “better” music and look like a native interest in those things.

[quote user="manisandher"] Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. The first two seem to add something in the HF that I can imagine many people judging as being 'extra resolutio...

Scooter, I was thinking myself if it was a pirated CD and I very carefully inspected it, I did not found any signs of not authenticity but I am not expect in it. To me it looks like a legitimate DG album. Though I admit that with contemporary mea...

Can’t remember when I first noticed the right channel was
quiet when I used phono as my source, but it was some time before I rigorously
traced the fault back to the cartridge, itself, and it was another age before I

I went to THE Show again this year, along with a couple of audio friends. This year I was better prepared, with preconceived notions about what I wanted to see/hear, and where to find that gear. I did not try to “cover” the show, at all. I just wa...

I do not particularly see a problem with 17K cartridge. I don’t
