[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...

[quote user="HDTT"] Wow what a greeting to give a new forum member!!! [/quote]
Well, it is me. I would like do not moderate my attitude and my strictly audio judgments about audio result of the people that I do not know vs. to the ...

Hi Romy,
Could you explain a little more about the amp? If I understand you correctly it is a 1 tube stage with solid state (Mosfet or Bipolar??) output. If it is Mosfet then it is likely to be running without negative feedack, is that r...

I recently bought the new DVD of the picture Ben-Hur and have much time watching the movie and listening to the music, indeed, I often play movies for the purpose of listening to the music.Anyway it got me thinking once again how and why I got into t...

Part 3: Sound
The sound generally at CES was disgusting. There were virtually no rooms with something that might be marginally conceded interesting. There were some more or less interesting episodes, though… All interesting episodes, no mater how fe...

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 somewhat compressed sound...

Thanks Romy,
I would have thanked you sooner but I had the day OFF of my day job today and had no time to post until now.
*cracking up*
I had a feeling there was no easy answer, wasn't sure if I was missing something, had scoured posts for a whi...

Christopher Witmer with his upcoming US show initiated a new wave of Feastrex propaganda. I have mention Christopher in context of his Maxonic drivers before:

Upper range effect is amassing, though not much different then with other regenerators. With PS Audio’s Power Plant the compression at MF-HF is also reduced or eliminated and that ugly heavy dense pressure blanket got lifted. The Power Plant while do...

Simply beyond any criticism. The Purepower bass was something that sold me on the very first unit in June 2007. The very first Purepower 1050 had the same type of bass. What kind bass? Well, if juts did not “improve” it and did not modified it ...

The cool thing is how Lamm figured out how to get one's attention off the window, albeit, apparently, through a fairly didactic program of "organizing", "correcting" and/or "mitigating" certain information he realized contributed to that particular d...

When you step outside of your house you have a few seconds when your senses recognize whether and to react to whether. Before your awareness tag air as cold, dry, windy, hot or wet you have that deep breathe when all your inner-you just put on line a...

Simply put, this concept has more to do with tangible results than most other things we talk about. At least, potentially. In the same way that a person might go to the ophthalmologist and get a pair of prescription eyeglasses to see clea...

How do we hear?
A recent article examined the capacity of the optic nerve to process visual signals. Based on the number of neurons in the retina, etc., an estimate of less than a megabyte of information was found, which is surprisingly low. This...

It is funny but for many years I had been intrigued by the different approach to audio by Japanese vs "the West"."The west" here refers to Absolute Sound type (not everyone in the West is this of course) criteria of live performance.

there is something else to work with and this something else always was there…"Could you be referring to what I. Kant made known as "a priori"? There are things in our consciousness that are apparent, present by "a priori" which in the case of pl...

Good lecture, thanks for posting it. It reminds me that I think 12 years ago there was a “big” debate about the distinction between US and British Sound, from a perspective of speakers design. We all know about the “classic” BBC curves and the rest o...

I was spending my time shopping for pianos a few years ago. I used to work too much, and was looking for an alternate 'right-brain' activity to balance all my time doing engineering at work. I spent a few months listening to every imaginable piano:...

New member, first post, so go easy on me!Ive been playing around with clocks in digital audio for a while. Current system uses a DCS Scarlatti stack with the Scarlatti clock. Synching to the Scarlatti clock rather than using the Scarlatti DAC as mast...

Jessie, I have two comments/questions.
Are you sure that using the USB you do not use the sound card? I am a software guy not a hardware guy and with my limited understanding I presume that an application that reads a file must talk to so kind of dr...

I mounted the new Jubilee last night. I did not have much time to listen it and all that I heard was just a half side of a record that I know well. The Jubilee was at 2.3g, no enforced VTA, loaded to 75R, the 3012 arm with default shell: I have no id...

The people who has more than one tonearm for stereo might understand me. I kind of pissed as my dally tonearm/cartridge does not sound as good as my reference tonearm/cartridge. What does it mean? It means that for dally records spinning sometimes I...

As far as I remember the former presentations in the latest version there is less softening by the amps without sacrificing tonal neutrality and the digitally controlled bass section has less problems with the room. Mr. Martion always plays a very br...

Dan,
I do not know were you’re going with “next step”, but I do see that some people treat interaction at this site as another swamp of DIY movement. This endless DIY paranoia when people pursuit abstract BS objectives and fulfill bogus frustrations...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"] And what they were doing, at CES 2006, was fine indeed. [/quote]
Nope it was not. Cogent sound was not near as interesting as it could/should be, and the Cogent boys know it, or at least they are slowly learning it.&...

Martinelli Sound is US based hornmaker. It offers small HF and MF rectangular but semi-nicely rounded horns, hoverer, as I understand they are opened for custom solutions as well. I did not see Martinelli Sound’s making a big splash among horn enthus...
