It is hard to explain but it is different. When I sit in my chair and play something then there is a very distinct deference between the events when I play Bruckner and non Bruckner. In fact I think I listen differently Bruckner and non-Bruckner musi...

Did anybody care to try it?
This LossLess idea do sound interesting…. if it works…

From a tape of a live performance radio broadcast, 1943; Unicorn, UNI 107I think I remember another thread with impassioned references to this concerto, but I could not find it. Anyway, I was thinking that perhaps this post should be merged wit...

Andy, when I said I am not set up to exploit internet "music", I meant just that; I cannot and therefore did not run your samples through my main payback system, although even that might or might not have done justice to your samp...

Romy, the first time that I noticed that the speaker wires are very important to the sound was when Steve put some very expensive audiophile wires in place of our normal magnet wire. I walked into the room while familiar musi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The sound during bad electricity days is all about noise, all imaginable noise; it is like fog, dull everything into some kind of universal grayness. The colors are dirty, the upper mid and HF are literary dirty, the HF ar...

Amir. for me. regardless of what I've started out to do in audio, I have been forced to compromise along the way. I am sharing my speaker/amp compromises in this thread. My "second system" is a radio (or computer) and headphones (or "desk speakers")....

Stefano, I do not exactly follow what you tried to say but it is OK. We do need to understand that we do when we are talking about Goto or any other driver manufactures. It is absolutely not know what the hell sound comes in your drivers. I hardly be...

I, in my stupid imagination, thought that I will be able to close my R&E saga as I thought I found a truly wonderful new home for myself. The palace turned out to be grossly, I would say fraudulently, misspresented. Got home very disappointed an...

Hi Panos,Romy asked me for a sanity check on your stated performance limits for your SE OPT's. It is good to see someone paying some attention to what is in the Radiotron Designers Handbook for high performance coils. What you are doing, winding five...

The Danley idea - or something quite like it - does look good for LF, but maybe less good for MF and up, I think.Which takes me back to the whole "point" of the imaginary "single driver"...Effing around with mix-n-match "systems" back in the day...

I have been looking in to mid bass horn designs to experiment with lately for the 4 way horn pa I am working on. As usual Good Sound Club always is on the Google search when dealing with any kind of horns. Although my reply to your post may be a few...

Well, I would like do not mislead myself and others: the Injection Channel idea is NOT perfect and in a way a half-ass solution. It is effective. If the right “coloration driver” is found and properly implemented/mixed then the Injection idea might b...

Hi Romy and Company:
My CD player has seen better days so I did some research and though you might be interested in my experience with the "Music server" concept. Punchline: fun, sounds great and is very convenient!
You can create your own aud...

Like I said in several tuner/antenna threads here, I have never had good classical FM/programming to tune in to, anywhere I've ever lived. And my travels suggest that your good times in Boston were an exception, versus the usual fare in other metrop...

If the setup is semi acceptable, after ten years one should lose the evaluation part of listening experience and treat the system like a kitchen radio or car playback and simply enjoy the music. I think ten years is a minimum to achieve the position ...

Romy said "The female reasoning! God! Sometimes I am so envy to gay people…"And you seriously think you would escape it There!??This is no different than any male oriented hobby except possibly for home repair. You could have model trains,...

Yes, it is time again for me, too, as soon as my amps get back from United Radio. Among many choices to make, which music to target?
OT, Robin, I think every trumpet player I've ever known has had a hernia. Hope all goes well for you, but WTF?

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Strange but I have found that my reception is significantly better if I don't use any connector between my antenna cable(radio shack RG whatever going up to rooftoop antenna) and my tuner but instead just strip off a bit of...

Understood. Thank you as always for the technical info.
I mentioned the DAB+ becasue the ABC are spending all their time and money implementing digital. 1st July is the start. You might glean some info on perceived quality of this format if re...

Yes, that WAS a common connector but this won't help you now. Radio Shack sold those as recently as ten years ago.Since the female side of the connectors has spring terminals there is some variability permitted in the diameter of the male contacts. I...

I don't think I've mentioned it yet, but I have since my childhood enjoyed both classical and Flamenco guitar, and I have more guitar LPs than I do violin, almost as many as piano.Of course not all guitar playing is equal, and I rarely...

I have only 3 recordings at the moment.
Sanderling/Berliner SO (1976)
Colin Davis/LSO (2003 live)Saraste/Finnish Radio SO (1995)Sanderling sings well with a broad brush strokes. Davis with dramatic contrast and detailed articuration. Sa...

Amir, I have shared that I quite liked the (original) Audiopax amps I have heard. Whatever they claim, they do sound right to me. Although I have never played much with a de Lima amp I have played quite a bit with most of my own phono stages, pre-amp...

[quote user="zanon"]Romy:you must mean person with Zu Druid. What did he not like about Druid in the end (bass aside)? What did he not like about Altec? What off-the-shelf speaker is he going to try next, or will he throw it all in and stick with Bos...

OK, Petar, I was finally able to take some time yesterday to focus and meditate on this. I remembered a host of "old" drivers from my past (not old at the time...) that, if memory serves, sounded rather muffled and slow, with humped response, as "he...

It's a very easy to use, little space and processor consuming, free tool that I'm regularly using to record onto my hardisk the radio program my brother in law broadcasts thru internet. It can be configured to record from the S/PDIF or any other digi...

Yeah, that is low life for sure but that kind of takedown is becoming more common. People are copying the politicos (of all types and persuasions). If they can't give a memorized answer or it jars one of their buzz phrases they feel free to slime yo...
