Without mentioning the reasons here are a few pointers: 1) There is no proper tone 2) Horizontal imaging is less refined then I would like it to be. 3) Sound is not wet enough. 4) At high volumes room can’t dissipate HF 5) S...

Thanks paul for well thought reply. Two things need clarifiication, i am not new to the subject and am a constant and avid reader.Secondly my preference for music is hobby for electronics and pleasure of listening through application of mind and know...

I think that thinking about the audio problems in terms of phase is perhaps logical but counter productive for the reasons you enumerate Paul. It is not the humane thinking... but room *loading* and the DPoLS placement philosophy are... feeling the m...

I wonder if the Super Electricity Days hide another side in themselves. Remind you that the Super Electricity Days in the magnitude of sound quality are way beyond of what any devises including the PP2000 are able to furnish. I might explain the OTHE...

While you are merely being empirical, there are actually plenty of devices that aim to "benefit" the end sound of SS gain by using tubes to "condition" the signal from DACs, etc. Also, there are plenty of commercial widgets out there that say they w...

One thing I have noticed at CES is that many successful audio component companies are incorporating a lot more physical design elements into their creations. They have focused more on the component as a symbol of personal style expressed by...

I find that all SET amps slightly electrify the sound of acoustic instruments. For example, an acoustic guitar will sound kind of like an electric guitar that is being played through a clean sounding guitar tube amp. Also very common...

[quote user="dazzdax"]Sakuma San is some sort of cult figure among the tube-o-philes. I wonder why he is implementing so many transformers in his amplifiers. Using transformers can be a good thing but in my experience too many transformers give a som...

The sound of Sakuma's system is a bit idiosyncratic but it is quite pleasant to the ear. I even enjoy the Fürtwängler Beethoven! Which speaker systems does he have?Chris...

Thanks for the link, el`Ol. The original Görlichs, when they still use aluminum layers were very interesting, thought they were soft suspended drivers that is not my cap of tea. BTW, for whatever it worth the Magico new version does not use ADT...

[quote user="nl"]Systems like these are all about understanding the emotional content of the music, not about Sound.[/quote]So, I take it you are saying that this system is more focused on a specific level of the 7-level perceptual paradigm? If so, ...
|

At the 7-level perceptual paradigm was operating not Sakuma by Cho-sun for Micro-Seiki. Sakuma was not operating in my view at any level but just listed highly band-passed, highly compressed gray sound. Nl, feels that “Systems like these are all abou...

[quote user="mats"]I agree about the fragility but perhaps less so about "toy like". I am just now hearing for the first time Beethoven's 7th by Nanut and the second movement is very lovely, beautiful, mesmerizing and as the Eroica seemingly well und...

After a few deliberations I picked the Prokofiev’s Complete Symphonies box with Valery Gergiev conducting his new London Symphony Orchestra. It looks like London sound got much warmer and friendlier under Gergiev. I also heard a lot of positive b...

My system lives in a small room with poor acoustics. Fact of life until I get round to building the planned perfect music room which has been in design for 5 years and still is just a concept!Bass end is lumpy so I decided to try various solutions to...

Amir, I am a long way from understanding the digital audio chains or how they interact, and how each transition affects sound I can get at home. The biggest reason I have only "invested" in CD so far is because this has been the only digital source ...

[quote user="peter foster"]The station that I most listen to is 105.9 MHz that broadcasts from one location 50 miles away at 100kW power and that is detected by 2 FM aerials mounted as a parallel array with rotator and ~ 40 feet of coaxial cable to t...

I would say that this is probably related to the human emphasis on horizontal differentiation.Much of what we see is influenced by our evolutionary skills of pattern recognition.
If you take a photograph of your mother and reverse/flip it in the hor...

It will give an interpretation of the things you throw at it, the rest is done by our brains. Your brain (and your current mood = current emotional status of your brain) will take you to real music. It works like this:Ths s whr tr hgh nd bgns, Th sys...

Paul, for the start just the plain Dannoy + B2 with no sound shaping. IIRC, Bill finally went back to Tannoy x-over using DSP only to cross to the woofer.
The listening space is small so I recon 90dB will be more than enough even if I like lis...

Well, maybe a little cussing first to set the tone. The older SPU's are now well sought after, many will end up in collections at now over inflated prices probably in the Far-East where they are worshipped. I've heard a few older SPU's and even those...

I was wondering how the record heat would affect your progress. Lucky you.Interesting observations about the air cap. Of course I am curious whether the added clarity additionally rewards/punishes +/- precision with VTA/SRA?I have zero ex...

Yes, it's true.The original pressing is always the best. There has never been an audiophile version that is an improvement to the Sound. They may have a quieter surface, fewer scratches, pops, and less overall noise, in fact the sounds may be better...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also do not forget that the phonostage that you built has very lash and very polite sound. [/quote]I would like to stress the politeness and lushness of 834PT-AIR phonocorrector. This characteristic of this phonostage s...

Paul, it has nothing to do with noise reduction devices. It has also very little to do with the media on which the recording took place – would it be LF, tape or digital file. Audio it is about expression of musical spirituality through the semi-barb...

Sonic Studios 'soundblade ' is the most transparent software I have 'heard' Wavelab is also very good and much cheaper. If you use Macs you might try Sonic's 'Amarra'it is the first of a plethora of similarly based players, improves on standard itune...
