Thanks, Romy, for your generous reply.
I won't try to address everything about everything, but let me bore
you with a mini-history of what is going on with my playback so you
will understand where I'm coming from and where I'm trying to ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Ok, let dive a little bit further into my examination of the subject of Lamm ML3
What is important is to undusted that my view less targets the Lamm ML3 but rather it targets the ML3 as a representative of entire cla...

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="decoud"]Is it not strange that we are so fixated on spatial separation in sound? Instruments in an orchestra are spatially separated because you can't have one musician sitting in another's lap, not because the music demands it. Music is...

OK Romy, I agree this should stay here, especially that I will probably have more observations to come as from the late January.
I didn't explain the context of S3 use in my future system. I'm awaiting for a delivery of Beyma TPL-150 which will be ...

Rakesh,
Yes, life is too short but the definition of belter ULF channel is not something that one might learn during "a project next coming weekend". The most important in audio is a state of realization and obtaining this state is a matter of...

There were had few days. First it was complete distraction of my listening room, than the contractors put the new hardwood floor together and then the complete rebuilding of the listening room, back to the sate it was before. Well sort of…

Well, Gera, a good question in context of your playback. How a person who has multichannel 106db playback with SS amplification and active crossover to explore SET domain? It is not so simple and if you do then probably it would require bringing ...

Any Google hits this site gets from my post is a gift from me to The Home of the Cat. Can't imagine anybody searching "Silbatone & Penderecki"..a rather odd combination of terms stemming out of a unique event.
Or how about "Silbatone &...

I've been pushing this intellectual excersise (masturbation?) of solving Romy's constraints on a powerfull bass SE amp.Thanks to Stephie Bee the humanity have now a decent model of GU81M, so before electro-cuttingonself, one can see if the electrocut...

Yes, if you are at 40Hz first order then you are with regular dedicated LF channel and tone is certainly a subject. The entire definition of ULF channel inkstand or LF channel is that ULF channel has no tonal information. It is very same like use twe...

Remember the death and "re-birth" (via good electricity) of the big Cardas caps? Well, it finally got to where things were not made good enough anymore by good electricity, so I went on the hunt again. This time I settled on Sonicaps from Sonic Cra...

I was listening today the Bolshoy 1948 production on LYS twice. What the beauty. As the tribute to this performance I am posting articles about the singers who did the “Boris Godunov” with Golovanov in 1948. The Articles are courtesy to writing staff...

[quote user="horny"]… me too would like to achieve as good as possible violin reproduction without spending a fortune on exotic or vintage drivers.[/quote]
I have voiced my frustrations about many contemporary compression drivers. People who manufac...

I do not think that “knowledge is gone” even though Stitch points are all accurate in my view. I I do not think that “knowledge” as a formed awareness ever was there. When LPs were pressed in 50 and 60 people have no idea of what level of quality the...

The best midrange comes from compression drivers, it has that minuteness, transparency and dynamics that no other topology can offer; the main problem with them is that they only cover a very specific mid frequency ran...

After years of using the Expressive Technologies SU-1 and SU-2 step up transformers I come across to a fact this morning that the Expressive was reviewed by Robert Harley in June, 1992. I read the Expressive’s preamp review but I never seen this one....

Joe,
A few comments I need to make.
First, about the WE. I think it is a bit cheap, to bring to the table with me the arguments of the level that the “editor of the biggest and most influential magazine in the world, Stereo Sound, who can get...

The Loudspeaker (Troels Gravesen project); a report started "too soon" because they've taken sooo long to build, and they fired right up (first try), and they already do Music!
For some time (at least a decade) I thought about
building a ver...

Today I listened again to a couple of Bruckner 8 performances on CDs, namely von Karajan/VPO, 1988, also Schuricht/Stuttgart, 1954. The Music is amazing on both CDs, but the 1988 performance (which may well have been digitally recorded to begin ...

Yes, the crossover looks fancy :) More than that it does the job. The vacuum caps are only for the tweeter and the upper-mid beryllium. Still they are bridged with micas as they wont do much alone. Adding vacuum caps smoothens the transitions and sou...

Morricab,
Of curse you are very much correct but I always thought that what you said is understandable by default.
When I am talking about the ability of playbacks to care the “absolute tone” I indisputably meat sound reproduction of the “best” in...

Haralanov, I partially know what you are talking about and I got my sense of it when I added the Fundamentals and Insertion channels. They both are position above MF and act as nice compliment to Macondo upperbass horn. I still do not know if the...

At CES there were Viagra-junkie sized power cords everywhere for $5000. Around our room were $10k and $20k speakers that sounded like a wet jukebox. It was the land of delusion.Value per topology is one way to measure but let's instead start with a p...

I went to THE Show again this year, along with a couple of audio friends. This year I was better prepared, with preconceived notions about what I wanted to see/hear, and where to find that gear. I did not try to “cover” the show, at all. I just wa...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

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...
