[quote user="amperidian"] …in typical Gergiev fashion ... grave, dynamic impact with iron-like control, yet musical and subtle with finesse when called for. I think it is very hard to balance those elements and right now nobody does it better t...

[quote user="rowuk"]I often wonder who REALLY
needs real high end? Maybe this is the wrong description. [/quote]
That is a reasonable question. However, it is not question that

I've been attentive to all that ive found out about Furtwangler lately
and the strength of his readings seems to be borne across by how fast

transcribed above, whether the validity of a ...

I was able eventually to get a recording of this Prokoviev Oratorio, thanks Brian.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
I always was kind of afraid of it. Any single zillion years tube I see is “NOS in box”, “measured as new” or “never work”. So, I wonder where those uses up old tubes are gone? Do people trash them or juts sell them “as n...

[quote user="floobydust"]Okay, I think I understand.... and thanks for the link on the YO-186... if I can ever locate some of these I'll be sure to grab some (hmmm, a trip to Russia perhaps). As tubes get very hot internally, there were some procedur...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Because GM70 can work in A2 class the ML3 has a very powerful high current-capable second stage (I do not know it they are 4 parallel 6H30 of some kind of composite follower) to be able to handle the GM70’s grid current.[/q...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Some of you who follow my site know about the coming Macondo 7th Channel. The inventor of the concept is Russian audioalogist. Considering a great novelty and a lot of controversy in the subject I would be interested to sit...

I do not know it is just Triamp or 3-chenal DSET by the direction is good. The amp was mentioned by Twogoodears on his blog.

As I previously told to manage six channels built around Russian tubes, and patricianly as different as 6C33C, is a pain in ass. Today, carefully examining my log file that I keep about the performance of each tube in the amp, in addition to everythi...

Romy says "what does make you to scare: the sound that orchestra produces of the meaning and Bruckner’s expressions?"
I don't think there is "meaning" in the sense of particular ideas in music. It can suggest different images or emo...

Well, as I suspected it is not 200 drivers but 14. He has perhaps 200 driver at his storage abut they looks like do not work all together. The way how his 14 drivers work is foolishness. I still like this guy, even though I do not feel that his d...

A few weeks back somebody pointed out me to a picture of this playback and I concluded that it is an idiocy. Today I had a few word with the owner of this playback and I read his articles where he describes what he is trying to do. I do not consider ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
How difficult is it to find 437As good enough for a phonostage? For commercial applications is it a dead tube. WE might produce it again when they stated to redo the tubes but the existence of the Russian 6C45P pretty mu...

[quote user="Brian Clark"] I have some ZVN0545A mosfets here for exactly that purpose of replacing cathode followers. You may like to try this starting at 2mA (250V supply, 125k biasing resistor). [/quote]

Is he saying other (lesser) phono stages are class A/B? Better, perhaps, to claim "all SET gain path"?
Yes, output impedance is (oddly...) very high; but one supposes it will mate with the newer Lamm line stages. VL also mentions that this unit ...

Would anybody recognize who manufactured those 0A2 regulators?
Since I use them quite aggressively, I picked at MIT's fleamarket a few dozens of them dirt-cheap. The tube looked suspensions. Then marked as Amperex, Made in England and National Elect...

[quote user="steverino"]I always thought that Stokowski was very attuned to Mussorgsky. I think he was the first conductor of the original Boris Godunov version by Mussorgsky as opposed to the R-K orchestration. His Boris Suites are a good "synthesis...
