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...

I think it might help LX_ 's ac problem resolution if I make one simple point.If his PurePower 2000 is operating normally, it is both theoretically and in practice impossible for his household appliance operation to have any effect at all on the AC o...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Rakesh, Equi=Tech is a know player in the fields of audio electricity. Back in 2001-2002 I had 3 of the Equi=Tech transformers. I was not pleased with results. I do not like the balanced operation for power lines – in my vi...

[quote user="Jorge"]Having listened to your system I am very interested in a comparison between live music and something similar (quartet) sounding in your playback, on the same room, you state that live was "too high resolution" and that for playba...

I'm only aware of PS audio as an alternative. I wasn't crazy about the original power plant but they introduced new models recently which may be better. (I did not get favorable results running my turntable through the PurePower and I have one of the...

[quote user="Bill"]Could it be that the really great recordings of the 50's and 60's compared to those today were due to the fact that they had more "great electricity days to record. [/quote] What a brilliant idea! I never even thought about it.[quo...

His is my picked for 3 things that I would like to be done in audio. They are without any particular order of importance. 1) I would like industry to develop a coordinate system according to which Sound would be objectively evaluated and all sound ef...

Using the AD/DA and employing those Dominus cables I could not believe lived without the tape loop. Plugging Pacific into the loop I in fact save one spare cable and got assurance that I would never will move/plug/unplug my AD anymore. I feel like w...

Say whatever you want but this company does have balls. To make nowadays 44.1K only transport for over $30K is a very strong statement. From a different perspective it might be good thing to do as many of today high sampling rate formats do not sound...

Digital: “Binary data”Trans: “across, beyond, to the other side”-Port: “transferring or carrying”You'll note the conspicuous absence of reference to 'spinning disks'. By strict definition, a digital transport only processes data and delivers it to a ...

The initials post was the body of email that Kostas sent to me and considering it’s format he presumed that I will me post it on my site. So, I did it (with his permission). I ran all those tracks once (some of them just a few seconds) and below is v...

I think this time is coming. As the idiots who run today high-end audio thankfully (!) are dying out the entire concept that a bunch of self-pompous ignorant fools own audio destitution chain will be vanished and will be replaced by more liberal and ...

Nothing wrong with feeling the venue (although I think that feeling the venue can only be had by going to "the venue" - the venue can never and should not be attempted to be recreated as an audio goal in my mind - unless you want to be frustrated wit...

Hi Daniel. I mean the window, after you sweep 10 seconds, and fuzz shows the IR. You can change the IR windowing on the preferences panel... like crop/cut the analyzed part of e.g. 1ms before the peak and then duration X behind the peak (here i asked...

I have an Upright piano in my listening room, it has been there since day one, so I dont know how different my room would sound wihtout it... Maybe I will haul the piano out one day just to test it: nah...A bunch of years back we were testing two a...

Hi, [quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eventually!!!! Here is THE subject that actually worth to talk about: how the 103 enrich your sonic prejudices. Be advised that I use the phrase “sonic prejudices” in highly positive light. May I ask you what you like i...

Interesting. I remember getting low contrast levels when using the asa 32 film (I think it was pan-x), but huge grey scales. Sometimes I shot in tri-x just to add drama. In the end though, my best prints were from the pan-x using ne...

Hello Coops,
Can you explain more why the Allnic 1500 is the best phono you have heard, and why was it superior to the Cole LCR ?
What is the superiority of LCR-RIAA phonostages , besides having excellent RIAA correction curves ? What about the...
|
|
[quote user="coops"]Cello HI I have only heard the Cole for a short time, so it wouldn't be fair to compare, also I really can't say to what extent the LCR circuit contributes to the sound of the 1500, the Allnic is very dynamic, has high resol...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi, I only represent Cessaro in the UK now because I honestly believe in them, I don't represent any other makes or manufacturers, Ralph introduced me to Allnic ( he had tracked down the designer Mr Par...

Hi. I got different oppinion bout the XO.For sure it has influence on the lobing. Definately, depending on which filter type u use, it will create different on- and off axis response.E.g. i like cutting the supertweeter at 8k with butterworth even or...

Hi Romy. You hit some point. But thats half obsolete. I shouldntve tried to gather the stuff for the VO copy. That visit to Klaus opened my eyes. I already switched my priorities a view times. From tonality, then resolution, to latest color (VO) but ...

Has anyone tried the Benchmark DAC Pre?
These guys seem to have an interesting approach to dealing with jitter by effectively (or not so effectively?) ignoring input data clocks. Their methodology seems to be cloaked but the basic premise is that...

It's quite a marvel from what I can tell now. The overall sound is somewhat on the darker side but the preamp is still breaking in (although I gave it 30h benchtop burn in with the frybaby track). I also suppose it reveals the Dannoy and the room int...

[quote user="anthony"]I have brought the Placette Active Linestage back into the room.[/quote]This comparison is proving more difficult than anticipated. Inconsistent results between subject tracks have given me some doubt on just what I have been h...

Too late now for points, but just the other day I tried to imagine your plan. and I was pretty close.Actually, it is a bit like what I have going now; 15" Eminence bass guitarr woofers in a sealed 3 cu ft cabinet,Oris 150 with 8" B&C midrange dr...

I too believe that "reproduction" has nothing to do with my audio experience as there is nothing to reproduce. There is so much missing in any recorded signal that the "original" geometry can not even be close to restored. At best, we could create a ...

Very interesting about the lateral vs. vertical resolution. According to "Raptor Force", a 2007 Nature documentary, the owl can locate a vole under the snow based on its offset ear geometry. "Like us, the owl can find the left-right position of a no...

[quote user="JLH"]Foolishness is too soft a word to describe the unspeakable garbage the Magico Ultimate is. They have mis-matched impedance drivers, improperly sized horns for the drivers, and made everything from metal. Then they go on an attempt t...

I'ts not that I feel "someone else's would be more informative than Cogent". Rather, even though I know what I heard from the Cogent version, I cannot at this point say I understand how much and what part of what I heard is ...
