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 ...

[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 ...

Those things are made to impress enough to buy whatever the maker of CD is selling. I'm glad you posted that review on DIY-audio although out of respect for the host it would be nice if you had posted it here first and out of politeness asked if you...

90% of the owners of 4 way horn speakers are way below the level of those chrome bumper audiophiles you refer to. I would not concern myself with the levels , classifications and a desire to belong to the elite club. I already imagine you chasing tho...

If you're willing to travel to Notown I can lend you a pair of K-Horn bass bins loaded with Altec 803a.They are not Jubilee and you would probably want to augment it with some sub-bass but maybe not since I only experienced them in a frame house wit...

JoshWhat driver do you have in mind when writing about K-Horns ? K-33-E is not a very good sounding one . ...

on used market from time to time and also were made by speakerlab and yes I only thought of bass bins nothing else. Why misaligned?Your old straight mid-bass in the wall speakers were not misaligned and K horns positioned right may fall into perfect...

If you have suitable space behind your listing position you could maybe use a pair of K-horns with a single Vitavox the same way you used your big midbass horns in the old house. There are always some empty cabs , original or clones available . They ...

Jorge and friends were exhibiting again on 2015 Axpona show and although they booked the same noisy room I liked it more this time around. It was little more vibrant and engaging and ..ahem i think I was too harsh with my last year opinion for which ...

I guess Thorsten is laughing since he should be the main receiver of TdP email. Popularity of a product is a double bladed sword. I do hope that sales of EAR 834 phono stage increased notably after Romy decided to make that circuit into his "end of ...

is the visual projection of Soundsmith house sound .Incidentally they love to use as many bright blue LEDs in their equipment as they can fit. You should stop by at their demo room to listen to their vision of what the right sound is. I will subscri...
