[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
I am not quite sure what this is all about or where all these conversations about artists and critics come from. It is very clear that you do not understand what the subject is about, and you clearly show that you are n...

Populated by individuals bent on making a mark upon this earth. That was far from my ambition from the beginning and sadly I may be successful becoming dull curmudgeon :) It's important to me not to look on art from a position of critic and acquire ...

but you're right about missing out a great deal. It is semi conscious becuase in my case it is related to pain. I'm clinging to idiocy because it is a refuge from pain. Also, because understanding is a killjoy. It is somewhat relatable to High End pu...

Nothing new here. I was right betting on "Boombox" as a vehicle of an intellectual pursuit of self. At least it is not out of "crushing sense of defeat" which most of people face at certain point if they are honest. I disregard any form of "message" ...

so I better shut up for the reminder of a year. Ciao...

which should be equally well reproduced in all genres. I'm absolutely convinced that none of the composers wrote their music to the type of audience it is usually getting in form of so called "classical' crowd. Actually it can be universally applied ...

Your dancing days are long forgotten past (if there ever were any) and your "rebel period' may be akin to Glen Gould's eccentricity of plunking the piano keys. Your audio pursuit is like "The Sorrows of Young Werther" in intensity of imagination but...

but it was always rather influential and has it's followers adopting the solutions who may feel (and were in the past) rather blindsided by sudden changes in directions and "betrayal" of so called axioms. I always found it rather amusing. I wouldn't ...

My heavy metal favorites are closer to aluminum in heaviness rather than a hairy chest metal...Lost may hair by the age of 18 hence I put all my eggs into "intelectual music" . (Quickly learned that the only sure way to a pantyland is f...

with available technology. Aliens have to give it to us. It's hard enough to have a decent sound playing one genre of music or particular part of the genre music like chamber or solo instruments. To have something which plays well most of genres req...

I broke down and bought "low resolution" old Spendors for Opera and light classical and have a ghetto blaster curb pickup boxes for everything else . This with house full of horns and drivers and Klipschorns serving as a plant stands. Yes, Belkin...

with all this complicated alignment machinery.At one point Romy was positively impressed with Classic Audio Reproduction T1 speaker based on ..you guessed TAD drivers and sporting TAD TH4001 horn and I'm sure it was years later than 2001 and his expe...

Third here with Bud's boring cables :) After he DISABLED my old Lowther DX4 of any tonal quality it sparsely had before with his miraculous dot con treatment, he procured me a set of cables and his output transformers for 45 amps. Given his backgr...

Caused by a sympathetic coincidence of a weather, good sex during the previous night , and five hundreds of other elements. Smoke the same cigar, drink Croatian whisky and have your cats piss in the corner and you may get close... :) ...

I'm absolutely fascinated by this latest twist of your audio journey and your courage to pursue it. Sorry for a cheap shot...and I wish I was there to hear it ...

For God's sake it's an old Tannoy red with standard vintage Tannoy crossover muddied by scan speak pseudo passive radiator in accidental enclosure driven by a run of a mill Yamaha amp. ...

[quote user="Bill"]You had that glorious sound with the 40 year old caps in the B2's and the Tannoy crossovers. Do you really want to move away from what they produced in your system. A good way of testing new vs. old caps would be to replace the tan...

If the setup is semi acceptable, after ten years one should lose the evaluation part of listening experience and treat the system like a kitchen radio or car playback and simply enjoy the music. I think ten years is a minimum to achieve the position ...

My friend who has two daughters told me that he is stealing every moment to be with them. He learns the names of trees , flowers, weeds on the meadows and the bugs just to be able to have a conversation with the girls. He said that he turns his head...

The guiding lights of the more vocal and philosophically inclined here somehow always lead them to BUY well reviewed, properly expensive, product of the year type of components and the general approach is throwing money on the subject like the rest o...

How's that sell out going Paul? I wouldn't mind gluing together a proper sounding and nice 12" driver as long as there is a chance of successful integration of the rest of channels and the stack will work in a narrow room. Are all of them meant for O...

In regular off the shelf hi-fi system , be it a total lack of LF in your speakers or the "pinch" of dome tweeters or the midrange mud. Romy like all of us throws money on the problem and he usually chooses well regarded and expensive solutions. The...

Out of a tiny, tiny minority of people who are into better than standard home sound reproduction only 1% would benefit from what is written on this site. It would be actually suicidal to any manufacturer to follow Romy's axioms , aesthetics and solut...

And sure enough you added the quotes to sling a little bit of mud. I bet it was not stimulating to Roman and a disappointment but it was beneficial to Josh. I simply laughed when he reported lack of orgasm and my respect to Roman increased exponentia...

Now Alex , don't be a Sissy Groupie. Josh's posts here were perfectly fine and his Macondo review is perfectly valid and absolutely valuable and it's telling that you do not grasp why. The only slightly questionable thing is his conduct as a man and ...
