My tastes in audio slowly but irreversibly migrate out of the “common audiophile sense”. Years ago I met some people form NY and Chicago, the former classical radio-station employees, the people with encyclopedic knowledge and understanding of m...

I had one for about a week and was not happy. Switched to a Kenwood KT1100.
Here an honest review that matches my experience. Bottom line is that on stuff this old, the individual buyer will determine the price, not the market.

[quote user="cv"]I think for the UK it's 2012. Also, hHere in London the only classical station worth listening to if you ask me is BBC Radio 3. So a TU-X1 and Lavry would be something of an enormous investment all things considered. I'm fairly sure ...

[quote user="Paul S"] 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[/quote]Yes, Paul, that's exactly the way they sound in their original condi...

The fact that they are broadcasting digital streams over web has no impact over FM reception of cause. The problem is not “digital” but with the stations the embrace HD Radio. The HD Radio is very popular here in US and many do FM/HD simulcasts. ...

At the beginning, audio was a scientific event. People like Bell, Marconi, Edison all were interested in playback of audio outside of the original performance. One used a telephone, another radio and yet another a medium in between for storage. I thi...

I kind of not looker but rather listener and when I do something I prefer to have a radio than TV. When I was hunting for my house I among other thing was looking to have a layout of the rooms what sound of my playback was well heard in my kitche...

Maybe the low "consumer" cost of FM program material damps the industry's desire to pursue the tuners. It seems like the other media players do have at their roots programming that has been successfully packaged and marketed for sale, not to me...

i certainly know a lot of 'audiophiles' with a vast array of gear-- some good, some bad -- but i think there are a variety of reasons people are so confused about what constitutes good sound.one of the most heinous- outside public opinion- ...

I have set up the right channel. Not calibrated but juts connected everything and did initial phasing. God! I have missed that feeling and I did not have it for a month! I know all of those conversation about having fun from a table radio – that all ...

Lot's of discussion about radio and tuners lately, so I'll throw in my 2 cents...I live on top of a hill in Seattle. Still the reception is sketchy, and I was seeking a temporary solution until I put an antenna on my roof. Yesterday, the ...

Unquestionably to me, piano concertos are the very much The Concertos for an instrument and orchestras. My second favorite is Cello Concertos. The violin concertos are popular and they great but I frequently find that they might be annoying, particul...

It was Friday around 11.30AM and I was sitting in my downtown office, watching live NASSA-TV broadcast from Cape Canaveral of the Atlantis’ launch. As the Shuttle took off from the launching platform the commentator said “America will continue the dr...

As much as the concept of MiniMe I find is supremely useful as much it was unlucky in my implementation. I went over a number of monitors, then built my own versions of MiniMe, then in the new room I used Danlavy SCIII. Some of them were good but it ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Romy, besides via the radio, did you ever have the opportunity to hear either the 948 or 950 in a domestic installation?[/quote] I do not think that “via radio” would be very sane way to judge TT, would it be? I do not rem...

Yep, you re right, the Yamamoto A-06S is SET, I did not read it carefully and I was under presumption that A-06S is PP monoblock. Good for Yamamoto! The only amps I heard with AD1 were PP. Somewhere in the very end 90s I shortly was exposed to i...

I was wondering what is coming out from PP2000 that makes one unit affect another. It might be radio and magnetic stray fields. Last night I took my gauss meter and was sniffing all around my PurePower regenerators. I was not able to see any signific...
