It might be not directly related to the subject of this thread but I do feel that it has quite a good relatively. Are you laughing that your Lamm made his new amplifier with a price tag of $126K? Well, think again. Do you remember as the ...

[quote user="HookEm"]The reproduction does not seem natural... too far away from what I would hear at a live event (e.g., female vocalist). Sort of bright and fatiguing at times. I may not be using the proper terminology to describe it, but I do...

[quote user="Stitch"]The normal audiophile has a problem when he marries first and wants to add a good Stereo System later.
One of my friends did it right, he bought his system first and married later, before he did that he showed all to...

47 lab from Japan introduced their new Koma Turntable 4724 with 4725 Tsurube Tonearm. I did not see them in US. Here is a link to the Japan reseller:

It is magnetic suspension with two plat...

Do you have impressions on this CD (I know it's probably on another league than the ones you mentioned above) or perhaps you can suggest your "Romy's choice for Dvorak's New World Symphony record"? I don't own a turntable and given the cost...

I do not mean to be negative and criticize Romy, but he is wrong on surround sound. It is the implementation and not the concept which should cause vomiting, like with the vast majority of two track recording which are unlistenable. With the rig...

[quote user="hagtech"] I'm not convinced a constant side load on bearing is good. It causes assymetrical wear. Just seems to me a center balanced bearing with no lateral loads would be better. Merely an intuitive hunch. [/quote]

Paul,
I do not know anything about Vitus phonostages but it is what it is. Manufactures each few months manufacture new products and it is given to media publicists to sell it. It is what they do for leaving – to inform public that new product...

[quote user="TheOptimist"]I've done some work with Mr. xyz, I know the guy, and most importantly, I've ACTUALLY HEARD HIS TURNTABLE. It is a sonic work of art. You CONSTANTLY bash it, but it's always "a guy you know" that has complaints about it. No ...

Paul S,I usually do not compare source components (or amplifiers or cables or etc.) in this fashion, DAC vs DAC, CDT vs CDT etc. unless I feel two (or more) of then (may) be too similar, like Lampizator and AN UK DACs I like. I prefer to focus integr...

[quote user="Serge"] The SIlbatone room was very large. They played an Edith Piaf record on a mono WE16B (or A, not sure). They played it very loud which I don't like, ever. I felt the system was made to show dynamics and it did it. The dynamic r...

A few year back a Russian audiologist A. Likhnitsky’s published a book “Sound Quality: New approach to testing of the home audio equipment”. (P&K, 1998) The book has many positive moments and altogether it was a wonderful attempt to bring i...

[quote user="manisandher"]PS Have you ever come across the writings of Ken Wilber? [/quote]
Nope, I did not. I googled him as it looks like I deliberately stopped to read this type of writing years back

I receive an email form a visitor of my site with a “news” and was really laughing! Yes! I hate to know everything but proposed by me “The Rules of the Audio Morality Propagation” do work like a Swish watch!
It was enough of one audio cretin (...

I ran across this Negative stiffness isolation platform (the anti Viagra??) independently but I should have known the Cat had pounced years earlier. It is hard to tell how much the concept has advanced since 2007 as I only found one firm doing it (Mi...

I don't remember from my head and would need to watch the video again, and I don't have time right now to watch it again, but IIRC that was about 35min.
At the same time, while I do agree with your initial argument,...

[quote user="hagtech"] Iwas going to ask you about that funny looking damping material. Then you explained it at bottom of post. Very clever to use mouse pads! Lately I've been using cork & buna rubber sheets from McMaster-Carr....

It is a very interesting subject, not that I feel it has any
practical matter. I you believe in HS-80 and have the Micro-5000+ like turntable
then what would be the best configuration to locate motor, platter, HS-80 and one Vibroplane? Please just...

Sometimes ago I showed to my local audio-friend an absurd looking old Russian tonearm that Russkies made somewhere in 70s. The friend of mine, the MIT-type person, looked at the tonearm, then looked at me and asked me very seriously: “Romy, are you s...

[quote user="Gregm"]Coming back to the "multi-driver" spkrs -- especially unfamiliar ones. It has taken me a long time to "optimise" the positioning of a pair of 4-way spkrs (9 drive-units, of which two in the back, in phase)

One difficulty in ...

What would be most interesting would be to capitalize on the possiblity you have to make use of the basement volume as an enclosure for the lower-bass channels. This wold however, almost certainly introduce floor vibrations requring that you find...

I found locally a professional mechanist, also I discovered a reliable supplier who can deliver me at relative low-cost the L316 raw material, so I'll start the steel platter project soon.
I just read some post in this thread regarding HS-80 flyw...

Yep, another TT but what does it mean “Analog is Back” and “new hope for the discriminated analog Audiophile”? This language is a crap that industry and armature cheerleaders develop to pump themselves and others up. However, in my view this lang...

I have one of my newest Micro Seiki RX-5000 sitting in basement for years and doing nothing and I decided to let it go. I was keeping it for year as some kind of back up TT, in case my 8000 got broken or as TT that I would be able to use at...

Among many nasty things of the LP playing the way how our tonearms stops play records is one of the most unpleasant. Sure it does not beat the idiotic practice to locate consecutive sides of a performance on the different records within multi- re...

In the first moment I thought it was another variant of the "laser turntable", but in the way it works the "ticks and pops" are supposed to be in there since they are part of the recording, in a way or another.

[quote user="drdna"] I can tell you already it will work. I have experimented extensively with adding lengths of metal to cables. It works well, but you can do a lot more by fine-tuning the amount of metal and in fact adjusting it slightly from l...

Yes, it is certain in what I proposed there is majored disadvantage of having a suspended floor. A suspended is like a bad turntable – no matter what you do you would never be able to get proper lower octave. The idea to have horn firing from ro...
