Glad to hear you have found a satisfying point so that you can listen to your system.Certainly the low bass is not as critical to your being able to enjoy the system, although no question there is much to be gained from that being optimized.Trying to...

I think the usage of Romys Injection Channel has misguided you to think it was implemented because of a certian lack of tone or some sterile sound, nothing of the sort, I cannot blame you for not having listened to Romys system, but theo...

Interesting subject. I don't believe that there are amps (or systems) which are good at reproducing baroque and bad at reproducing Stockhausen. For starters, how would the amp know that it is Purcell I am sedning him via electric current? If it does...

[quote user="angeloitacare"]romyif a "wrong" approach does make a consumer happy, so (...) be it !![/quote]I wouldn't expect anyone to argue against consumer happiness even with a "flawed" system. However, I'd say that this consumer happine...

Romy, no not at all. I'm listening to music right now and prefer running directly from my new AC mains rather than from the PP2000 battery. But it's so soon after my dedicated mains system has been installed that maybe I should just wait a while befo...

CJ Yes I have assessed AC polarity in my system.Romy says "I took today my large
3kW isolation transformer and place it between my dedicated line and
PP3000. I lost my lower bass, simple as that. "Speaking of isolation transformers, I have not h...

What is the difference in audio? You spend day of you live in your listening rooms trying to make that cable elevator between your phonostage and cartridge to “sound better” and someone after listening your setup inform y...

[quote user="decoud"]I know you do not want to do it, but it is a shame not to do it: actually manufacture a version of the Macondo with an integrated dset, cut down enough (say three channels) to make it feasible while still demonstrating the advant...

PP2000 currently has glitch. However in comparison to the sound my system produced before PP2000 in system, I can never go back to wall power. Even prior to APS I had system plugged into Richard Gray units. The gray crackling artifacts have been r...

Markus, you have hit on something that has been debated in hi-fi circles for several decades, namely the endless teeter-tottering between "accuracy" and "musicality". Of course it is not lost on many that The Goal is necessarily "Both", but the...
|
|
I understand that this is just an excercise, but one thing I keep coming back to as I experiment with hi-fi is to try to minimize the number of changes I make at once so I can - hopefully - keep track of and sort out what each change brings to m...

Romy,Your Macondo system is something that has been a "role model" for what I'd like my playback system to be in the coming years. And much of what I've learned about horn playback systems I've learned from reading your writing and other posts on thi...

I know there is no reason to describe my view about high end audio but i do not know why i am interested to do that in this forum.I think we could categorize audio systems in 3 level.Level 1 is a system that make you sad in long listening session bec...

Romy Your file was burned in wave format you provided as-is. It was never processed by the Korg. I conducted my test to evaluate the sound of 176/24 files on my system. These files came from you, Reference Recording and my Korg and all can coexist un...

[quote user="Paul S"]Andy, I will say right away that I am not at all set up to "exploit" online music, but this comes across to me as "clean" and "noise free", with some nice spacial effects, basically devoid of harmonics, and not much in...

But I wouldn't rule out playing rock on a system that offer fidelity to the music in classical repertory. However, back to the reproduction "system".The expression Romy used of "musical content" is interesting. I use the expression musical ...

I have no idea what that all about but it is nice to know that my taxes goes for somebody building horns. "The Reverberant Acoustic Test Facilit (RATF) chamber is located within the Vibroacoustic Highbay, taking advantage of the 1.8 m (6 ft) thick su...

[quote user="Jorge"]Andrew you got to read the site, get into it, there is a lot of useful information regarding excactly the project you are going into, is there any difference if the threads are addressed to you or someone else? Most of them are R...

[quote user="drdna"]I think it has already been stated. Batteries in audio are inherently of limited utility. It is a tendency of audiophiles to dedicate themselves to a single "silver bullet" instead of building the system based on the particular ne...

We have tested live recordings against live sound, a recording of a jazz singer was done on Reel tape on an Ampex ATR modded machine with Fluxmagnetics heads etc. The microphone used was the legendary Telefunken stereo tube mic. no post producti...

Romy,
No, the DAC was not set at maximum level (for best sound) while Cyrille listening to the system. It was set at normal volume for the whole system. When Cyrille dropped by, I was showing him the Field Coil open baffle speaker system which con...

I'm wondering how much one had to steal in the 90's to afford such a system in Russia?Fuck him and his system....

[quote user="Djjjj"]Thanks a lot, rowuk.I do read the Macondo axioms again when I got your suggestion. We never think our system is a perfect one, we will and must do our best to improve our system and correct flaws.Hope to keep in touch and get more...

[quote user="rowuk"]Look up Romys CETLA91 or a new multicell for Macondo.There is a guy not far away from me Markus Klug, who builds these. I heard then at his house but there were "non speaker issues" that did not tell me what in the sound could be ...
