[quote user="guy sergeant"]Are this company thinking along the same 'Oops' lines?http://www.layeredsound.com/index.html[/quote]I have some experience with the 'Layered Sound' concept and although I haven't read all of this thread, I think that it doe...

I have listened to these loudspeakers at 3 different HiFi shows. To me they produce what seems to be an uncontrolled mass of woody & papery sounding resonances. However, I haven't heard them being played in conjunction with a more norma...

PS: They can't really be compared to 'surround sound'...

In talking with Shelly Katz a few days ago, I brought up the topic of how sound is perceived in the context of layered sound or indeed oops. He is a very busy man and we did not have long to develop the conversation, but this is the thrust of what he...

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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Now how much better would be if people abandon that idiotic SACD/DSD and Mark Donahue would record BSO right in PCM at 88.2 kHz/24bit or 172.2 kHz/24bit format? Then the files that we get will be as close to raw master file...

Got the Pacific Model Two today - very much in mint condition unit. Those people were a bit crazy to let it go. Interesting: despite the Model One and Model Two have the absolutely identical engines about but I did detect some differences that I did ...

Here's another list that includes the TDA1549T, which it describes as "1 Bit". OK.

I have no dog in this fight, in fact I have even no opinion on the subject. However, the subject is kind of fascinating and ridicules at the same time.
The guys who sell digital audio and all of those NAS storages f...

I dont know what you mean by helicopting, but I detected problems with the transmissions in later acts as if whatever machine they were feeding the signal to had problems. At certain points it sounded like they were fast forwarding tape-perhaps that...

Points about the self-sound of the PH-77 are well taken, not that I'll be spending 8K on anything any time soon, regardless of its "value".My own K&K phono stage is totally Spartan, just to avoid all the circuitry that typically facilitates the s...

I see. This is a very fortunate situation.Unfortunately my TSD15 wants to see a high load of 200R,hence the question.Low EMF shielded reed relays seem to be especially designedfor switching uV signals (unlike gas filled Au over Au/Pd ones I've found)...

I've been playing around with High Def Files for a few years.I use an M-Audio recorder to capture concerts, and now that HiDef files are becoming available I have been buying them online.For playback I have been burning DVDs which I play back on a Me...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]It does seem that with DHT's how the filament supply is arranged has a huge effect on the resulting sound. [/quote]
Could you elaborate on that “huge effect on the resulting sound”? What does it means and how did you...
|
|
By 'lighter' I mean that the DHT amplifying stage subjectively has less inertia and is able to change direction more quickly. I suppose nimble might be a better word.
At the moment I usually do use the amplifier 'full range'. (My speakers will no...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am not sure if you stress the words “sound” or the word “stereo”. I do not have anything to do with mono but properly implemented stereo is absolutely wonderful and I love Take a little portable mono microphone, attach it...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="drdna"]As I had been looking at all these tubes I began to also inspect their interior construction. This will amuse you: one thing I would do is to hold the tube right up to my ear so the glass would be touchi...

[quote user="floobydust"]Running the higher B+ voltage (350 volts) with a 1K cathode bias resistor and the 2.5K load results in higher distortion than the text-book operating point, which is B+ of 300 volts and a 750 ohm cathode biasing resistor and ...

KOT, I do not know the sound or character of that driver, at all, but I do think of the 6C33C as "vodka", since it is "tasteless", but it has some "kick". So, what have you mixed to flavor your vodka, and why did you settle on that driver?As for goo...

While I've hardly gone out of my way to learn more about streaming digital, the reason for that is the consistently mediocre results in my experience. Really, how does one rate and build on streaming digital in musical terms? So far, results I've he...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Now, how does it sound and what you drive with
it?[/quote]I own or have owned a number of amplifiers with valves before this, Pathos Twin Towers, Audion, Audio Note, Jadis etc. One of my friends who has the same Avantgarde...

There is a relentless prejudges that some subjects could be cursed and therefore they bring bad fortune.
“What might be less fortunate in audio then just persistent horrible sound?” – rhetorically asked Dan D’Agostino, the CEO of Krell Industries. ...

It was brought to my attention by a fellow member at our audio society meeting today that there have been some postings here regarding my letter to the editor in this month's Absolute Sound. I wont restate the total contents of my letter as they ...

Another Industry Staple is using a Flagship as something like a "spinner" attached to the hook on the end of a fishing line. With the Yvette roll out we hear for the first time that - up to now - Wilson's smaller speakers were - intentionally - ...

Another very interesting observation that I discover today. Paul have mentioned about the improvement of bass. It was not a secret but what a secret, as least for me the TYPE of the bass changing projected to the precession of HF dialing.
OK, ...

Well, since I made my Absolute Tone pitch I think people got a slightly wrong impression about I am looking for in THIS jornes and I think the readers of my site “get” the idea of “Absolute Tone” too one-dimensional. Let me to peal one layer down fro...

[quote user="Paul S"] Some of those Altec horns were textbook examples of both types of bell-like resonance, where the body of the horn itself resonated and certain bell-like artifacts were created/amplified by/in the horns' mouths. [/quote] Hmmmmmmm...

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...

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...
