Paul, You do raise an issue I was unclear about from Romy's post. If the aim is not to hear the music accurately but instead to be overwhelmed by it then some kind of sensory overload is the goal. This would be like putting an amplified band in a sm...

I am thinking how to inject the sub 20 Hz bass in my room. I
do have space to do and means to do it but I am slowly contemplating for more
elegant way to do it…
Why are you trying to get sub 20Hz in your room in...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]You collect a few “better pressings” and then you
go to the stupid eremites… This copy to be played for “every day”, this one for
“special occasions”, this one is a backup for “special occasions”, this one is

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last Friday I have some time free from work and kids and I
sat in my listening chair, put some music in spend nice few hour to listen
music. The playback sounded very nice. Not nice in audiophile sense but rather
very no...

FWIW I played violin in the high school orchestra (back of the first violin section) but having no interest in being a musician didn't continue. But I do know something about the instrument and playing it obviously.Anyway, about 6 or 7 years ago resu...

Neither she nor you need to be apologetic concerning her orchestral playing. I am astonished that given 3 young kids, working in the medical field (not quite sure what job she has) and married to an audiophile that she can do anything else let alone ...

I just noticed that there is a woman with viola standing right in front of the trombones behind the woodwinds. Were the violas put that far back or is she friends with a trombonist?...

Is anyone familiar with this CEC transport? The page says it sells for $3000. I assume it is a Euro model only.http://hifipig.com/review-cec-tl5-belt-drive-cd-transport/...

There are 2 women standing center right as the conductor views the orchestra near the front. Could be either but I guess the one more to the right....

playing Bruckner with the Boston Phil. I trust you and she enjoyed it. Bruckner symphonies apart from the early Nulls and B1 are quite hard to play. It isn't because the individual parts are so hard for pros of course but because Bruckner was thinki...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, for sure no one deny to Berlin Philharmonic rights to
make money. The boxes now cost $500 and I am sure that in 10 years Japanese
will be selling it on eBay for $10.000.
Anyhow, I do not buy these records but I a...

I am more familiar with the Opera world but I would guess that State subsidies are going down rather than up for Euro orchestras. So there may well be pressure to earn money from alternative sources. I am not saying that this is the best way to get t...

I guess the NYT is too busy checking its cash flow to discover that it is reporting on something widely disseminated a year or so ago. And yes it is only a few aging gents like ourselves who still listen to classical music, at least in NA. The mail o...

Romy I know this is a very happy moment for you and Amy. Very best wishes to all of you and your families. Best not to ask Thomas how he feels about it right now. When you think the time is right make it clear how lucky he is that he has a younger si...

In theory wideband electronics with very gentle HF slopes are optimal. In practice I have never liked them. For the same reason I detest the 6922 tube vs the 12A series tubes or most less well known. As Romy notes, linearity and measurements in this ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I pulled today from my shelf my collection of earliest Denon PCM recordings on LP the Denon record in end of the 78s. I generally do not like this entire series but the first releases where OK, not as good as then might be...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Guys, I think you use a slightly faulty logic in here. No one would deny the differences in presentation between live events and playback. I would not argue with what ‘zako’ or ‘gormee’ said. I would however disagree about...

Humber speaks about his Harmonic Linearizer device. It is very possible that this FM Acoustics preamp is a fine

It would be nice if we had a unified theory concerning power and audio systems performance but that would not be enough. For example a physicist can provide elegant equations describing heat transfer in a vacuum. But ask them to provide an exact equ...

Rowuk,I think that is a good thought. I think power supplies are an afterthought to most audio designers or they think about it in simplistic terms such as bigger is better. I hate to confess this in a public forum but I have found better sonics resu...

Well I don't know for sure about nirvana but we need to keep remembering that we have comparisons of battery operated (AC disconnected) audio devices that provide a control or criterion of sorts as we do in cables with bypass devices. So the maximum ...

TonyB,Romy has commented on the perceived differences between the 2000 and 3000 as well as the older units and the Plus units earlier in the thread.I am thinking that the power utilization level of a system may be a significant factor in perceived be...

I'm glad that Adrian is waxing philosophic but reviewing his prior posts he was plenty angry as he should have been. It wasn't his private complaints that got a response; it was the repeated public excoriations for years of a variety of people on a v...
