It has been a little wild trip from Portsmouth NH (our second home) to Montreal. The weather was wonderful and the drive was surprisingly easy. The trip in the way reminds me my audio trips from the past, with talks and thinking about audio here ...

[quote user="Gregm"] No-one is criticising the ML3 (amplification) product. We are discussing the concept and the applicability of such products, i.e. the ultimate limitation of an amplifier called upon to work from DC to daylight and, accordingly, d...

My prize to the most interesting and educational room at the show goes to a room with WAVAC 833 power SETs. Visiting this room made me to think a lot and made me to draw a lot of very valuable to me conclusions.

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...

These thoughts come in the wake of Romy’s recent encounter with a certifiable fringe dweller who, IMO, is not just illustrative in the generic hi-fi nutbag sense, but also in the there’s-more-to-this-nutbag-than-his-worst-would-suggest sense. B...

user="mats"]I’d like to pick up on one thing the visitor noted.
He said Macondo was able to “dissect” the most “complex and

I have recently one of those "audio visits" where
a g guy from far away lends with his morono-emblematic jazz interests spent an evening

The regular visitors of my site know about my recent frustrations with my new Ortofon SPU cartridge for my “mono tonearm”: Is it all that Ortofon SPU can do? Today I made some alternations that more or less cured the audio problem and I decided ...
