Do you think only Russian composed stupid music to celebrate own leaders? (BTW, not all that music was stupid) Well, in US we do it as well. David Diamond (a prolific American composer and the author of 11 symphonies, dozen quarters and so on) ...

[quote user="Paul S"]But why would you consider brass connectors because of 95% of boutique RCA if the idea is to wind up with the best signal path?[/quote]Of course not because of that! The ideal would be the connector I've shown but made with pure ...

Yesterday I spoke with a guy at a Russian audio forum who reported that he played with addressing many problems of compression driver by pumping ferrofluid in the gap. I am not a big fun of ferrofluiding generally and in case of compression drivers i...

[quote user="morricab"]I have a phono stage from the Korean company Silvaweld that uses the 5651 tube in the power supply as a voltage reference. It also is using a Russian 6C19Pi tube along with EF86 pentode as the high voltage regulator. ...

Interesting that Estonians, the very much as Latvians and Latvanians, although they are located geographically right among the Slaves have absolutely none-Slav music. I mean listening thier music, even juts a few accords, instantly sends a mess...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]You may be right. It would perhaps be worthwhile to look into "better" transformers but I am not sure that an advantage can be found over just going RCA to XLR adaptor into the balanced inputs and thereby bypassing the...

So, I have been looking into suitable valves to base a preamplifer around that are suitable for driving the DSET's. The pre must have a broad bandwidth, low output impedance, some current drive, and not be prone too easily to microphony. Oh, and pr...

[quote user="cv"] Did I ever mention my sulphur hexafluoride idea to you? You fill a horn with this gas, sealing the front with some loose fitting heavy grade mylar or whatever. The horn can then be 44% of the size you'd otherwise need. [/quote] Hm, ...

Nowadays, during the week of Shostakovich’s anniversary of 100th birthday, it has been a lot of Shostakovich’s music played here in there. With all my “issues” with Mahlerism-Shostakovich I still listen their music, what whatever reasons…. Today ther...

I warmed up this morning my tubes and dived into my shelf with solo piano music fishing for some Bach, to celebrate. I wanted it to be long and beautiful and what might be longer and more beautiful then Well-Tempered Clavier?

Haralanov, I do not think that the “information” that you found is indicative of anything. If they changed coils and diaphragms on their LOMO drivers (and I presume that if they change the diaphragms then they did not keep the LOMO original suspensio...
