truth to be told, i'm so far from building a horn for S3 that the plans may change. the drivers actually haven't left a previous owner yet which makes me a bit nervous. but i understand you presume a short opening horn like expo would allow a more me...

Hi everyone. This being my first post on this forum, I thought i'd say hi and share a little bit about my journey in audio. I have been an audiophile for 25 years and owned several systems starting off with a modest Nad lifestyle system & Infinit...

[quote user="Tuga"]Joe, Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy a good pizza. Unfortunately I won't find one in a Pizzahut. "That" man's 2 for 1 pleasure says a lot about his evaluating capabilities... I also enjoy several different kinds of music, mostly...

Certainly, this sincere invitation was offered in part because they found you an interesting Cat, but I think that the offer was also inspired by the fact that you are writing pages of critique on items that you have not, in fact, ever heard.My Korea...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
If you visited this site before 2004, when I conversed it to audio site then you remember that it was performances-centric site. It was structured by composers, and each (let say some) composition had a list of reported...

Romyi will start building my first hornspeaker, going from theory ( surfing the net ) to practice. i am not pretentious regarding the result, i am very aware of my knowledge limitations and lack of experience, as i am just in the beginning. but the w...

[quote user="eduardo"]Amir:audio
practice relates to "actual sound" not to (any kind) of overloaded
analysys of "inner character of recorded or played material ". You
don´t analyze sound,you analyze the capability of a
given "sound-conceived str...

Hi Scooter,
First of all, thank you for the Mac check list. Very helpful!About this Mac>More info>USB Device Tree: I appear to be able to select a dedicated port.My Revox B-260 S tuner seems immune to the Lavry at this point. I have a ferri...

It is OK, Item. It is a common for people who sell audio to be not completely informed what they are selling. That comes with territory. You might discover with time that audio is much more interning then just to dump a pile of BS on people and to ma...

[quote user="Amir"]do you use microrendu?[/quote]Hi Amir, yes I use a microRendu in my office system - it replaced the NAA I spoke about in the old post that you quoted. I think I'm one of the very few owners who hasn't been drawn in by the hyperbole...

[quote user="xandcg"]Amir,If you are looking for a transparent DAC and it could have a built-in preamp, you may want to take a look on:Merging + NadacNadac Player, same but a built-in music server (or something).I did not listened to them, but at lea...

hi romyi disagree totally with your point of view regarding audio industry. i think first of all, what this all is abought, is to have fun listening to music. and it is VERY subjective, what is good sound reproduction, and what is not. if someone doe...

As you can imagine, the ML2s simply surprised me. I thought only of optimizing my speakers, what might drive them to their best, to see what they could do with fewer amp-induced limitations. And the ML2s have done much of what I want...

Mr Hwang's implementation is compelling, but overall, being hyper-critical, it feels just a bit austere. Kitsch? Perhaps, but a theme is an excellent device to draw people in. The music/musician and historical/cultural context connection would be, I ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I'd agree with that. I wouldn't mind seeing the British PM being seen to support the manufacturers here (such as Avid & Naim!) in such a public way. However, such conspicuous consumption wouldn't be well received here ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Joaco, thanks for sharing. You said that you use 2A3/45 amplifier, do you use choke or capacitance right after your rectifiers? It would be interesting if you plug a scope into your loaded regenerator and post a picture (ma...

Maybe you didn't mean that it would be necessary or even desirable the existence of some "tailor audio", though I understood it implicitly. It's my fault. Custom audio (and not DIY as it's commonly practiced) is something that might work fo...

For a relatively small outlay I can go and listen to some chamber music, a jazz band, a choir or, for a little more, an orchestra. The quality of 'realness' I hear is consistent regardless of how good the performers are and how great the merit o...

Congratulations, Romy and Amy!
Though it might be hard for a given audio nut to believe, for some of us, family comes first. My children grew up with reproduced Music, and they spent their entire lives "watching out" for hot tubes, TTs and cables...

Any Google hits this site gets from my post is a gift from me to The Home of the Cat. Can't imagine anybody searching "Silbatone & Penderecki"..a rather odd combination of terms stemming out of a unique event.
Or how about "Silbatone &...

Being both fairly lazy and fairly cheap with respect to audio, I remain very interested in theFR SET/dynamic speaker dream. Also, I am generally both weary and wary of the extreme complexity/difficulty engendered/entailed by othe...

Actually I don't find it surprising that engineers don't realize the sonic effects of their engineering. Remember all the indignant articles and letters they wrote about how great solid state amps with low THD sound and how lousy tubes are. In the ca...

I think that picking a DAC is like picking speakers - regardless of the price, we don't know what we have until we get there. I do not think that it is possible to compare digital and analog playback forms. With a turntable we have as many choices (g...

What they say:Every audiophile music lover knows of the legendary sound of Koetsu phono cartridges from decades past. Those old enough to have experienced Sugano's Koetsus retain the memory of a musical experience unequaled. Few were privilegedd to o...

Okay,First, thank you for responding so fully or roundly(?) to my reply. Second, I apologise for any annoyance caused by my missive(s). I had my doubts at the time, and was a little fluey to boot. Not an excuse.Third, the guard...

Another reviewer who can write the review without hearing the product. Now THAT is something new.Don't expect anything new from me because I have been saying the same thing for 20 years. That's why you don't see me around much because I said what I h...

I agree the "period" closing needs more words, Roman.The P.A. horns/drivers were mounted in stadiums, convention centers, maxonic halls, cinemas, theaters, everywhere was needed a broad music or speech dispersion, trouble free operation and high S.P....

[quote user="JJ Triode"] You mentioned bagpipes--do you think any bagpipe or other Celtic music can be of serious interest? I don't necessarily mean audio interest, but music/cultural interest. [/quote] JJ, I have no idea. Amy loves bagpipes and she...
