Mani, interest in using Pacific as the only all-time on DAC revised my interest in pacific D/A converter section. I consider it as a great 16bit DAC and very good 24Bit DAC. The reason I did not elevate in my appraisal Pacific DAC to great status...

is what I assume that your CD's source is all about. So it could be in deed a problem having used the 'original' master tape (analogue) which might have had a slight problem, stretched, or issues with the equipment speed (slight speed wobble) when th...

During the last few days I bought and tried the raw high-resolution files from most of the providers. I have to say that I have problems with most of them. In my judgments, the only Referent Recording files sound properly to me. I wish they record m...

I think the usage of Romys Injection Channel has misguided you to think it was implemented because of a certian lack of tone or some sterile sound, nothing of the sort, I cannot blame you for not having listened to Romys system, but theo...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] If I get you correctly, the graph should display a range of around 12dB from top to bottom, in .5dB steps... Yes? [/quote]Yes, it would do, you might go for high or lower resolution, and there are no rules in it. You shel...

The more I think about reproduced sound the more disassociated I find myself with the mainstream audio people. Really, I do not share may of their objective and what in mass audio hysteria is considered essential and prominent does not impress me, fu...

I’m very much pro wider frequency response, as wide as possible. However, using juts a trim “wider frequency response” different people mean different thing perhaps…
I have written at this site quite a few articles stating the foolishness and luck o...

Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

The product range is unfortunately growing. I have seen quite a few recordings that I was interested but they were recorded in SACD and therefore were compromised by the format. I would not give a lot of credit to association between format and the m...

Cat:First off, the Silbatone Aporia is $30k/pr not 100k. You could do 6 speaker surround with Aporia for well under $100k. Hope you feel better now."So what," I say. $30k is already too much for my pocket. I am on a fellowship this year and cheapskat...

[quote user="N-set"]I didn't make it to the 2nd video before and it's indeed interesting.Esp. how he describes the result of his trick: "addition of HF transforming into more air and resolution in the MF instead of more glow at the top"(around 2:30 a...

Haralanov, I guess you mean to say disconnect the tweeter on one side of your playback? not the whole left side of the playback...When you use compression drivers it is very important to design the horn taking care of the high frequency response. ...

Ah, such a beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful discovery!
After all, after the years of dealing and fighting with it I come up with the observation that the Vitavox S2 driver could and actually should be used “as is”. The harshness that I was re...
