[quote user="vuki"]Hi,Mr. Hiraga said (and it's also in the promo-flyer) that he uses modified GreatPlainsAudio coaxial, although the one in the speakers that were playing music looked more like original Altec 604 (because of the multicell horn). So,...

When I read the forums I think, there is a coming back from Idler wheels. You know, these units which have the maximum contact for distortion (idler direct to the bearing into the platter). The Radio stations replaced them as fast as possible when DD...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Where does that leave the potential of magnetic tape for delivering good sound? There is physical contact but it is fairly constant in nature.[/quote] I do not consider magnetic tape as “available source” anymore. Tape can ...

I also thought London should have more and better classical stations than Madrid. In Spain we have only two or three sindicated broadcast nets and but for the Radio Clasica channel and RNE3, all the others are always programming crappy music and "tal...

Of course I haven't compared it with the Sansui, which appears to be a very serious machine but the Leak sounds more natural to me than the other highly regarded tuners available over here (in the UK) such as the various Naim models, the Audiola...

I guess you didnt have a chance to listen to the station broadcasting from the Met while in New York? Perhaps it is different. I get met broadcasts on satellite radio and the quality is horrendous but I guess thats a different story. Frankly, I...

I posted this request at the Yahoo FM group, the place reportedly owned by the Reichsführer-SS Bob Fitzgerald, I have mention that Moron-wanna-be-in-charge before. Thankfully that cretin does not show up there and the air in that bulletin blog is fre...

Ok, I have something to sleep tonight with – my dream came through and I got today my 60+ feet Rohn 25G antenna tower. With this elevation I will be able to get even Worchester local stations. I just need to get a variance from my town to erect it. ...

Well it hard to find for whatever reasons. “Bescal” released it but I would not trust then and would look for the original Everest release. I do not know who sell CD and I have seen ay used market they goes for stupid prices. Still, you might fish th...

"...what would you do with this driver." Please don't anyone take my silly joke at face value. It's fine for what it is (they sell to radio stations & the like) -- bad for what it isn't (indespensable atop yr spkr; improvement for yr cell ph...

Up to the first fold the horn is somewhat conical as seen in post #1 picture.This picture shows the exit w/ additional angle wall (making for "corner" loading).This has a greater (uncalculated) flare something like a compound CD horn.Resonant F unkno...

The Delta Pro-8B looks like a very fine driver, in fact on the paper it is even better then Fane (with exception of sensitivity and inductance) The problem is that no one knows how this driver will sound until it is loaded into a specific horn, no o...

I understand this is a "popular" piece of music (popular for classical music, anyway), but I never really got into it the way I did Brahms' PC 2 and a couple of others. But this piece came on my clock radio on a Sunday night, and I later learned it w...

Poking around for options to acquire downloads of the Bruckner symphonies, including the performances briefly streamed free in April, I came across the following options on HDTracks.com. In no particular order we have, covering at least B4 through B9...

I sometimes listen to a little DX radio with crappy headphones, but not much of the "difficult" modern music gets aired around here. I may have some Schoenberg LPs that I never listen to, really can't talk about. What I often hear is along the lines ...

I really wanted to enjoy the digital concert hall but their sound quality is not up to par. Last time I checked it was 256kbits. However, there has been recent developments and they have streamed a double dsd (5.6mhz) concert.Sadly I have missed this...

...I'd have deleted it too. The essay was way more about you than the music, and the sideswipes at BMI were entirely gratuitous.Their review of the M2 was however the most frivolous piece of writing about serious music I've read since, oh, 1958.The p...

Never heard Borsamski or Kreutzer, or even about them…. Clarks, have you heard the Jerry’s discovery - the Anton Nanut with Ljubljana Radio Symphony? They have two know to me performances of the Fists committed to CDs and both of them are good. The ...

It is a dome tweeter, so I can see how proximity to the floor might have some impact in that at least you have HF hitting the floor. How ti regulates brightness is mysterious to me as well.My personal hamster speakers (for NPR vocals) simple mono Tiv...

I ordered a unit at the end of December and was told it would be shipped in approx. one week. However they ran out of units and the delivery time will probably be the first week of February. I'm tying to maintain the patience of Romy. The only thin...

Both of these short excerpts sound very natural from what I can hear on my PC's speakers. I'll have to burn them onto a cd and see if I can coax the sniffy Teac into playing it!What's the position with regard to this (or any other) material that...

"FM is a public domain"I'd imagine if some less than scrupulous individual took to recording live broadcasts and then produced extremely high quality audio CD's from them for general sale, the performers and the radio station might have something to ...

So I gave a serious listen to the vinyl source vs. the digital playback to try to get some idea of how much damage the AtoD -> DtoA does. I matched the volume levels as well as I could using my ancient radio shack SPL meter. To me it seems t...

Interesting timing for this question: just today the Radio of Amsterdam broadcasted their version of La Mer and had some thoughts about it, primary in audio contexts…. The Debussy’s La Mer is one of the “lucky” pleases of music and it is well perform...

Yesterday WGBH-FM broadcasted their own live-to-tape recording of Handel & Haydn Society’s Mozart K. 626, the Requiem. John Nelson conducted with Christine Brandes, soprano; Paula Murrihy, mezzo-soprano; Charles Reid, tenor; Alfred Walker, bass.I...

enjoyment from the Norwegian Radio web radio. They have a wonderful mix
of the music that I like which is orchestral and advanced chamber music.
They broadcast at 192KB which is not super fidelity, but their cho...
