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...

[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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Anyhow, I like your idea about the "memories" but not in the context how you used it. [/quote]
I kind of semi-write about it in the thread about the “Remembering Sound”:

[quote user="Paul S"]Telus, I did not complain of "16/44" or of "hardness" but of a range of problems with digital sound I've experienced. I have also whined loudly about SACD in other threads. My present digital system is my best attempt to get as...

it seems the computer audio problem is not bit errors and even correct bit-perfect digital data (from computer) does not give us good sound.

After more than 10 years of using the Micro Seiki MAX-282 tonearm I realized that if it is my second stereo arm then why I presume it shall have Second Sound? I have properly performing mono and stereo arms and I have a dally arm. The Daily arm is a ...

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...

the Bach suites topic was not a teaser.
Just plain interest.I have lived with the Suites my whole life and could probably talk about and listen to different interpretations for the rest of my life.I love the barok cello versions of Pieter Wispelway...

Though my new updated Bidat is too fresh but considering that I know very well how the Nichicon KZ progress with sound I think I can make some preliminary observations about the revised sound of my Bidat.
The change was not a large, less than I expe...

Yes, to have an overlap between drywall and horns with drywall layer extended from horn for a few mm is my leading idea. Still I do not have a final solution yet and am conspiring options. How does it sound? I have no idea. I understandably have a lo...

Interesting that you post illustrates perfectly the notion of multi-amping advantage. A few years bask when I still was going to all those hi-fi show I proposed a notion that a room that has 50-500Hz properly dialed to a given room has with all ...

The sail ideas sound good, and I did play with it a little (before realizing the magnitude of this rooms acoustic problems).When you talk about diffusing effects, I think of reflections and reverberation that smears the sound so that it looses focus ...

Thanks, El, an interesting driver indeed. It would be interesting to listen the thing though I have personally no use from that type of driver. Purely on the specs there are some moments that I would like to see different. The 250Hz resonance freque...

[quote user="nl"] However, these sorts of basshorns with twin 15" drivers and a very large mouth (larger than the cones of the drivers) have a long history. The Altec 210 cabinet, as used in the Altec A2 systems with two 515-type woofers, is a prime ...

In the thread: “The industry-embraced audio and classical music” Stitch made a post that implied that the industry-sponsored indifferent sound is more attracted to the people who has a lot of money. I do not know how accurate that observation but...

Actually Jorge brought a valid perspective: the HF that are crossed at 5K are not the same as HF that are crossed at 10K. The point is that in a playback that crossed at 5K one can’t talk about HF as a self contained expressive tool as in that type c...

Haralanov,
What you are experiencing in my view is an inconsistency and confusion between listening of playback presentation vs. content of musical message. I know that it is fashionable among audiophiles to claim “not listening to audio but l...
