Well, Guy, I do not know what will motivate Mike when (and if) he comes up with his new drivers. Being a manufacture he will become also t industry participant and consequencualy the actual Sound would not be within is area of interest…. Anyhow, I al...

Well, I was there, which is more than The Cat can say. In fact, The Cat never heard a complete WE system first hand, so I'll have to take that into advisement when the expected foaming-at-the-whiskers rant.I always wonder why people would giv...

I can’t stress now much I am fallen in love with my new PP2000. I was playing it today all day and can’t not see any single thing that I would bitch. I perhaps is missing too much the sound of proper electricity but my feeling is that the new uni...

I see, this is typical UPS unit. It would be interesting to see the actual wave shape from this unit. Do you have a scope? Mind you that the Pure Sinewave that they specific in UPS is not the true Sinewave in audio understanding. The 10% of Harmonic ...

It could be my mistake or poor taste, but sometimes PA systems sound very good to me. There was one in a toilette of a restaurant playing some classical music that made me almost angry, like, how is it possible to have such a decent sound so simp...

Again, I do not agree with all notion of Rubber sound that Haralanov seeded. I can not speak what was in the situation that “be” described and 400Hz crossover. I do have the 8” version of 25W driver (I think it is 21W) and my feeling that it sou...

Fuses are seldom used in modern installations, but they are still widely available. "Better" breakers are also available from commercial suppliers, for whatever they're worth. It is true that "regular" breakers "soften" over time, and also in hot wea...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]That is a whole point: the shape of the sinusoid and consequential harmonic distortions are not being the decisive factor that responsible for better sound. It is sad that neither PP owners nor we the users after years of u...

Well, I do not think that that’ musicality in its eccentric form might be more or less “orchestrated”, after all, what we get from music into its “ultimacy” has no projection (at least to me) to it’s sonic rendering. However, I have to admit, that la...

Let me list for you what I think drives sound quality to me:1. In room flat response at the listening positions2. equal decay at al lfrequencies off axis3. Adequate delay between direct & first order reflections. 4. Lack of distortion, or suitabl...

Hi Romy, all
Interesting theory there, Romy.
Must admit I never thought about it that way,
tho I've come to understand that "eastern" people
listen in a different way than "western" people...
Myself I'm a typical fundamental type of guy,
so I...

There is a lot of noise around "NUFORCE" class D amps on the net. Their 100W integrated should be only 1K$ over your budget;0) I didn't have much luck with tripath based amps ,but this one is designed by some missile black science guru so maybe it is...

It took some work, but I finally got a new phono stage (K&K) and a Bent TAP (transformer-based volume control) installed, along with some new cartridge clips (ugh!), and I put the "new system" through its paces Saturday and Sunday. I a...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...

Hi Romy
Is the sound of the room you are thinking about?
The "sameness" ???
cheers, Jan...

I begun to receive those emails asking where was the best sound and which room sounded the best at the show. Those kind of bogus questions are absolutely irrelevant and have no purpose of meaning. All together: there was no valuable or even interesti...

Hi Romy,When you visited our room, you played 3 pieces of music on our 1000 dollar speakers.All were nice recordings, one was Saint Saens 3, one was a very contemporary sounding piece of 17C Harpsichord? and I can't remember the third although I did ...

Guy,
Then why do we use language to communicate?
I think, in order to go deeper to appreciate any cultural context a systematic approach will help. Development of a proper language is just a good starting point, though the goal is not the languag...

What is the volume of those SS enclosures?Dima's amp looks weird, I like it. Don't enclose it......

Perhaps, however how to estimate and to interpret them? If we are talking about the compression driver then they all made very crappy and each driver mig...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I do have a problem however with the notion that the reproduction of 'western' music requires different attributes than the reproduction of other types of music, for example Indian, Chinese or Japanese classical music. That...

This is kind of an old topic which I noticed about fifteen years ago when I was beginning to be interested in stereo and I noticed that I did not like the typical stereo sound that was being sold to me. I am half-Japanese and I got interested i...

The history of stereophonic sound
1881 - Clement Adler at the Paris Electrical Exhibition put "a series of 80 telephone transmitters across the stage at the Paris Opera and connected them by wires to telephone receivers in a suite of four rooms" in ...

Having heard specifically the Kharma 3.2 at length in the home of a friend for the life of me I cannot see the fascination. Absolutely the coldest sound I've ever heard. This speaker even with tube amplification I can describe best as like a 200...

Yoshi, I do not think you have to be so hard in your Lowther at this point, in fact if I m not mistaken, it was not a regular Lowther that rather some strange derivation from it. It did not sound right nether to me nor to you but I think the very fir...

[quote user="be"]I recognise your observations about the Ag vs. Cu sound, but instead of mixing the two materials I think it is better to change the diameter.I experienced 0.5 mm silver wire to be too thin soundvice, have you tried 1.0 mm or even mor...

Took today my first new sauna. Yes, I agree that music is not working with sauna. I however am not sure if no sound at all can’t be used in sauna. I think some kind of new-edgy elevator music with a lot of LF might work quite well. Not that I am look...

I have been using my new sauna for a week and here are the observations that I came across so far. It is all depend of the conditions. If the sauna has temperature under 200-210 Fahrenheit and humidity around 10% then sound is tolerable in there. I w...
