I can hear loud sound from 20w single ended when it drives 92db speaker but i do not care about sound level and the dynamic is important to me.

I think that there is a HUGE difference between listening to a recording for the first time, or a second, fifth or hundredth time. A live performance or recording for the first time is full of surprises - that disappear when repeating. The recording ...

[quote user="Thorsten"]Then it does exactly what is asked of it, I asked JB to design it for me PERSONALLY as a "wire with gain". I have been on previous occasions been unconvinced of many stepup transformers, be they sowter, amplimo, EAR or jensen. ...

[quote user="drdna"] but let's not forget that we should never equate equipment prices with sound quality. [/quote]Absolutely disagree. This believe is the most ridicules accomplished that audio propaganda implanted inept the brains of audio people. ...

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 ...

I was listening light night the Charles Ives’ Fourth Symphony by the kids of American Symphony Orchestra and Members of Schola Cantorum under the baton of probably 180 years old Leopold Stokowski. Ives music is not exactly my cap of tea but I hardly ...

It is kind of sad to me to see the arguing going on here. One reason I like this site is because we can all have our opinions freely. About the design I will say this:Any time digital correction is used, this is a bad sign. There ar...

I find it pointless discussing the "sound" of a drive unit as it will be totally dependent on the implementation within the system.
I will say the ET-703 is best seen as a supertweeter, and used to cover only the top half octave and the ultrasonic...

I heard this TT, it was magnificent, almost no coloration to speak of, dead dead quiet. Of course it wasn't plugged in and there was no tonearm or cartridge yet but man I loved the sound! Really whatnthe hell is everyone screaming about ? Romy mentio...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]fiogf49gjkf0d1) 3) The common mode filter you have at the PS’s input- why do you use them? They do eat some dynamics. As many time I removed them from all imaginary components as many time I witnessed better sound. ...

I have long followed posts in this forum and wondered what the ultimate horn system sounds like. I have always liked certain attributes about the horn systems I have heard (Trios, Cessaro, Acapella, Altec, the usual suspects) but never to the point ...

This is complicated. Audio people have an implanted into them notion that a better playback produces more agreeable listing experience. Consequentially a better (the best) playback is something that heard more. However it is correct only within a ver...

[quote user="yoshi"] This is how I took Jonathan's post. He (Janathan) is mocking you (Romy) by presenting a hypothetical situation assuming your ego would be hurt in that situation and get pissed the same way some audio people react hysterical...

Looking at the sound that audio high-enders cultivate as High-End Sound I have little enthusiasm in what I see/hear. The High-End Sound, as it exists in 99% of listening rooms is not really High-End Sound but rather the High-End Labeled Sound where t...

I do not mean visualizing the sound waves or music, that is a relatively smile task. What I mean is a visualizing of Sound. To depict sound is very finical; it is like depicting of wind, did you see any good attempts?
I was sent to an Asian si...
