[quote user="AllHammer"]This post has basically wiped out the entire reputation you have tried to build up in the past. Rebutting a review does not make yours right, and from my personal experiences, you are indeed far from right. I can see why some ...

Using the PP2000 has been a very interesting experience. Immediately listening I am NOT struck that it is the most wonderful improvement ever, which I have said before is a GOOD sign. Usually the seductive sound changes are colorations that are enj...

[quote user="cv"] But I don't think they are doing this here. What I would bet is that that they are running the thing in A2 with a much lower Z primary, using a lower B+ and high standing current. They are also using feedback which will help the ban...

Hi Romy, I recently heard the smallest Cessaro and while I felt that the bass was not adequate for long term satisfaction it was also not a total disaster. From the midbass on up; however, the speaker is simply superb and one of the very best h...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I heard 4 (!!!!) complete contradictory descriptions how high level of jitter manifest itself subjectively – interesting that they all derived from the engineers whose credibility is very high (not juts the audio-tweaker...

[quote user="slowmotion"]Good news if the analogue stages of the DCX2496 is so bad. So the improvement of a modified unit should be worth the ekstra work, and remove some of the x-overs negative influence on the sound. Which is always good to know be...

The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...

Hi Romy,I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone. The reason why is this: They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty resonances as the reso...

[quote user="twogoodears"]Yes, maybe the 120 db/octave is THE trick for complex multi-ways systems of highest resolution, yet this barbaric:-) slope can ONLY be achieved by digital domain crossovering... unfortunately, as a satisfied user of TacT RCS...

That is so much pisses me. A few days back I posited this like and was laughing that this guy record in DSD (which is in fact not DSD but SACD, I do not think he has access to DSD) in order to sell his recording in PCM 2X and 4X? Why do those people ...

[quote user="Hugh"]The rewards of ideal speaker placement is something I've experienced as well and perhaps is related to DPLOS or possbily audio-moronism. While not easy to find or predictable between speaker brands the result is consistant.&n...

Running further away from Slav’s and Austrian’s “expressed sound” in music, walking across the Brucknerian soft monochromic fields I found myself lately to have very different interests in the sound that I am after. Well, I know how to make good soun...

[quote user="rowuk"]I am always a bit hesitant to buy into "listening descriptions". I am a musician and am confronted every day with Sound bias - attraction to what we are accustomed to, expectations being confirmed. We are creatures of habit and mo...

[quote user="xandcg"]I read a interview with Peter Qvortrup (AN UK) a week or two ago (but that was older) were he talk about his theory of why a CD + Good Transport sound better than a audio file from a hard drive (with the same resolution at le...

Well, what can I say, there is no surprise but the more and more I went into anal-retentiveness of time-aliment the more interesting result I got. Unfortunately with my the frame of my Macondo I was not able to go at the 1/12dB precision, I was able ...

Ric, you are losing the point – this is a wonderful opportunity to blame the Mother-in law…[/quote]My wife and I both had a good laugh at that.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Ric, you are losing the point – this is a wonderf...

[quote user="AllHammer"]This is your website, if I am not mistaken. I shall respect your will to express, no matter the whatever the level of insights you have to offer. You are in no way degrading me. Like I said, anyone who have really listened to ...

[quote user="be"]
Horns are of course some kind of band pass filters with different kind of ripples at lover cutoff and beaming at upper cut off, according to horn type.Maybe it should be added that contributing to the horn sound idea, is that the...

? - purely zombianic, semi-psychotic and unconsciousness reasons, for the "Moron TM" ----a bit heavy all in all, hm.

After all let's recall that it was Nietzsche who also stated,(I think actually one of his main themes): "Everything is about perception" i.e. the perception of the individual, not what others think and tell...Next, since we're at it, it was...

[quote user="haralanov"] It is certainly very very important, but how many systems you have listened where you can not be able to recognize the HFs as disconnected part of the sound? I just wanted to ask if you have ever heard a system, where the...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]Hmmm....I guess I can't really see that unless you are enjoying a particular coloration you are getting from the TVC.[/quote] Nope. On this you are wrong. Based on direct bypass tests the TVC's I USE (that is the specif...
|
[quote user="morricab"] You are also right that to get everything you want from an output transformer requires a VERY expensive construction and top materials. However; even an expensive transformer is no guarantee of success. [/quote]
Sorry t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eli, I as any other person on consumer side, do sympathize
with how you feel. I would like however to point out that this site is not the
best door for you to knock. Audiogon for instance (and many others) specialize
to ...

Be careful to relieve me if I am not impressed, many promised no one excelled. :-)
Chris, I do not think that you will see me to think about transformers for other channels. I do not think that what I do will be some kind of resolution for Amor...

Stressing Bass in my former post I would like do not overly accent the lower bass itself but rather an organic combination of bass with something that I would call “full body” sound.
It we look at many properly setups, loaded and amplified cartridge...

T, ‘m glad to see you around. Your position is quite educational although not an unproblematic. I do not agree with some of the points you brought up (I mean that 103-is very low compliance cartridge - 5x10-6 cm/dyne (except D and M), disagree with ...

Keith,
it is not the thread about Lavry Gold DAC I would rather to hear from people who have experience with other Multibits, perhaps with many Multibits, and who would be able to generalize their observation about Multibits vs. anything else. I kn...

[quote user="manisandher"] The latest firmware 'fixes' this issue. The AFI1 can now work in dual-wire mode at half or full audiorate clock frequencies. [/quote]
Very good. I am impressed with Daniel’s responsiveness. I wonder how many people ...

I think it is about right. The 6C33C for upper base has 100K
biasing resistor and 20K to ground in Lpad. That would make ~60Hz. This high
pass that unload the LF from the horns that it can’t handle is very important
as you do not want driver to pr...
