Excellent point about in-the-day expectations and results vs. the best contemporary expectations and results from "classic era" LPs. Mining this same vein, who knows what future audio maniacs will get from today's soft and slippery "audiophile" LPs ...

I best love the guy with a 200k system and maybe 100 recordings that are just as you describe!Apparently, there will always be a market for the 150k TT and the 30k up-sampling DAC to play the Audiophile recordings.Last week, a friend who's in The Bus...

I'm strugling with dreaded Mcintosh Mr67 tuner . I borrowed one from a friend and it was very nice ;clear , crisp , dynamic so I went out and bought one for myself . It sounds like a mud and matches 100% of your description of average tube tuner...

I can’t stress how much pleasure I get from my kitchen radio. It is not about brand of specific sound that the radio produces but rather the esthetics or it and the location. It happened that in my house a kitchen is a center of activities and traffi...

What do you mean the example of inductive Lpad? All speaker level Lpads are inductive. The speaker level Lpads work with low voltage and high current and therefore they use wire wound restive elements. Any wire wound components are inductive by natur...

I am still here still trying to work it out. Read your mid bass horns article again. Learned a bit more. You right about open baffle I once foolishly sold everything I owned to buy a pair of km30. They never sounded good until one day...

Of course I did go to the GIP site and I did not see in there a lot of what I would like to see. They are presented in there as a vintage audio resellers, stressing the originality and authenticity of their items. The brochure that you posted has...

Ok, so it took me awhile. I finally got around to doing a design around this tube, believe it or not, as a driver for a 2A3. It just seemed right. Bought some 60's vintage(?) Amperex "PQ" on eBay. Well, here's what it looks li...

Not Amplitude. It's the rock solid phase linearity. It feels like a brick wall all the way up and down. I haven't looked at any graphs and haven't measured anything but that is my guess. There is no question of the great tone of vintage Tannoy but al...

I got this week the last new tube for my Schaub & Lorenz. Since I got wonderful result with change of the output tubes I decided to swallow the bullet and buy all new tubes for this radio. My presumption is that as bad my original output tubes we...

I have some ZVN0545A mosfets here for exactly that purpose of replacing cathode followers. You may like to try this starting at 2mA (250V supply, 125k biasing resistor). Did you or Dima try Soviet SSG silver-mica for the first coupler? I am using 0.1...

Hi all,I'm slowly progressing with my assault on the pussyfied 834.I'm looking around for an interesting step up.I've happily eliminated SU-1 (I'd rather daydream about a night withMonica Belluci instead of those ugly steel boxes), said fuck off to S...

I Romy I have readone of your posts that you sent or posted and I am beginning to get a bit of a grip of what you are saying but will continue to read the other thread also. I guess at this point I should really use the tool I have and see what if an...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]audiofilofine, you need to form a question in a format that would indicate you do the your do some homework. To bulb or even to design 20Hz horn is complex task and it usually made to the specifics of the given circumstance...

Hello Romy!My predictions are:The mainstream manufacturers will continue as they have been doing for decades: Use steep x-overs that allow them to use more and more exotic cone materials without changing anything effectively. Strange-looking con...

Note that I am responding late to the post about the "closed-down/dormant" '89 Bordeaux. For those who do not know, some great wines can be brought (back) to life by beating the hell out of them. I use a large Burgundy glass for about everything, an...

I hear you, Romy, too many other things going on to do this full time, like "the old days". To save time and effort, you could try to "repeat" the original Dannoy configuration (same gear and location) and hear if it is "repeatable". If not, you're d...

I was asked a few days ago what I think about Zandèn new CD player and I replied that I do not think about it.
Truly, those companies produce new models each 18 month to initiate new rounds of cash extraction from clueless, deaf and blind audi...

Do I recall that the REL had a fairly "unusual" tuning section - among its many features that were (and still are) novel for a "civilian" tuner - , and that many of those old parts were not only top, SOTA mil-spec back then but most of them were also...

I have to admit that I hate the Altec 604 in the same way I hate a few similar drivers other companies made in the same topology. Jean Hiraga made a loudspeaker around Altec 604, I have no idea how it sounds. People who read my site know that I d...
