Hyeronimus and his lysergic masterpiece has been an obsession for generations... I remember and still have in some ESP Disk issues by Pearl Before Swine's, Sun Ra's, Tuli Kupferberg's a beautiful, foldable, high quality repro of the HB's Tryptic whic...

Hi Roman, hi all...I wish to thank you all for kindness, empathy and support shown...Thanks, sincerely... also on my wife's behalf;-), while I wish you all to NEVER suffer something like this....

Hi Roman and glad you read my minimalist reports;-)))...as always, I'm only hinting, suggesting further reading and/or WEB surfing...I'm (trying to) attach a link with Hiraga's essay/review after Klaus' and Reinhard's visit, last June...I'll possibly...

Hi Roman, hi all... intriguing post and interesting questions, as I've been for about 20 years a triode and, before, a tube user and a glowing-in-the-dark maniac.My experience...I purchased - years ago - an Hiraga 20W which I used as a bass enclosure...

Hi Roman!Glad... VERY glad your sincere enthusiasm indicates you're near to reach your VERY goal: natural-sounding, true, full horn low-end in yr. home!God bless carpenters, acoustic, math... and, why not, the Cat;-)Keep us ALL informed about proceed...

... from Onafets Ollecnotreb, Roman;-)I agree Andrew's approach is more relaxed and MUCH less self-hyped, deal-only oriented than the average audio chap... Again, thank you.

This very musical masterpiece "owns" me since my boyhood, as my mother used to listen to it, as I learned about its title getting older (without NEVER knowing who performed it); sometimes she was reading in dimmed light, a book on her laps, more ofte...

Hi Roman... you know "... but Twogoodears normally prefer a do not go to depth..." it's not an hide & seek kind-of-thing, but a necessity;-), as I'm not technical inclined or taught enough to discuss in depth of circuits designing... I'm only a u...

Hi Roman...thanks for the wise tips... I'm - at best - totally new and virgin to this very topic... I'm (sort-of) diarying my quest and search... I humbly hi-jacked, better... took ispiration, from you, Adrian, Paul on RtC, and Jimmy Auw's, and Duelu...

Roman:interesting point of view and alternative to Nimbus' approach. It's my opinion the people at Nimbus wanted to enhance and replicate a better gramophone-like rendition of the classic vocal and instrumental performance of decades ago...In their l...

Hey Roman... did you notice that on the Intelligent Movers' truck, on the right star on the side, there is "something" which reminds to a... tuner?... they sure are the "right" company;-)Good luck. ...

... sure Satie's piano-music will affect it... try Reinbert de Leeuw on Philips... special on rare steaks... so-so on well-done......

Friends always think I'm doing "wrong" when I say I'm listening to "horns" in near-field conditions... "then" - i.e. after listening - they leave my room as believers... I'm having a new bass enclosure made which will allow me to - at last - prop...

Dear Roman and all... also unrequested/unsolicited, MUST give my opinion on the above... I had to translate my 2,3 meters from my Gotorama speakers system, and obtained 7,6 or so feet... it's angled 110° in front of my head, placed on 5,3 meters long...

The entry ticket (a 3-digits figure, incl. a dedicated, Class D amp) for the "try it" isn't hideous like a pair or a quartet of SG-146LDs, but I'd love reading your opinion(s) on the following... as my "dream", my vision would be: 200-20khz multi-am...

Thanks for the wise, simple instructions, Roman, also useful to others, I believe... that's what I actually do since I - 'twas ONLY 15 months ago... - became conscious of the limits of my tuning-by-ear and got my IVIE IE-30 with Class A measurement m...

The whole room (L-shaped) is larger as you all noticed, but as Roman saw in my Blog , the listening space is smaller - i.e. about 6,5 x 4,5 meters with low 2,70 ceiling - and is a perennial work in progress... yes, the Stereo Lab 1000 hz is a true wa...

[quote user="Paul S"]The discussion of the abstract nature of the elusive "Hertz" reminds me that individuals and orchestras have long tuned to different "Abstract A", in the "first place". Besides, once you broaden a "tone" into an instrumental "no...

Great referring to musical instruments pitch, Roman... the Real Thing.
I find the Wikipedia suggestion about "resolution", music-wise to be quite inspiring -i.e. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(music)Sentences like this: "A dissonance h...

Something strange - but maybe understandable - happens in WE's price list and catalog... have a look... the WE 417A is USD 550 a piece, WE 437A USD 750, but in Web-Order form it's 450, while it's confirmed 417's price-tag, still at USD 550 (both are ...

Very wise, Roman... I - myself and my wallet - both must agree about your feelings and opinions... I've been into tube collecting since early '80s and what I guessed was dear (ITL 50.000 (about EUR 25) for an AD1 or "Luftwaffe" RE604 is now a TRUE ba...

I never had a lot of trouble with high transconductance tubes. I use the EC8020 a lot. Stefano, you might look into this EC8020. I never seen it but just looked into the datasheet and it looks very interesting tube and i...

"... and I do not know if 3A/167M is better than anything else and I do not see why the metal socket is necessarily better then plastic – the socket is not the part of the tube."As you know, the 437A is like an on-steroids ECC83, ALL glass built, no ...

Maybe someone read this http://twogoodears.blogspot.com/2009/05/we-437-based-phono-stage-solid-rock-did.html, worth reconsidering its design - also (partially) using WE 437A - after the last posts discussion at Roman's... also worth remembering that ...

How difficult is it to find 437As good enough for a phonostage? For commercial applications is it a dead tube. WE might produce it again when they stated to redo the tubes but the existence of the Russian 6C45P pretty mu...

Thanks for the tube gel sockets/absorbers hinting, Roman... Thomas had to use such a vibes taming mandatorily, being both 801 AND 437A tubes rather microphonic prone...Using his clever design... ZUT! Completely silent... also, unfortunately, he had t...
