[quote user="N-set"]Sorry for being naive, but may gathering spectral fingerprints of the electricityduring bad and good days give something? Perhaps after N samples some pattern might emerge, although I guess nobody knows what to look for.[/quote]Ac...

That is the way the System works. Not the customer is the goal (he is only the tool who brings the money), the reviewer is the one to go for. The reviewer guarantees the success of a product (in general). Valin for example is known to be among the mo...

[quote user="JOHNR"]One of the things that I picked up in this thread is the fact that if you use 2 PSUs in series, the sound degrades.This is typical of one unit generating common mode noise and this adds to that produced by the second unit.Even if ...

First, the Fifth: The first movement is indeed a stunner, nothing comes close. For the rest, I can line up competition. But no matter! The "live" aspect trumps all.The Met, indeed, had its moments but was not a keeper.The Traviata was terrific! Even ...

Today, at Mravinsky's birthday I publish a good article by Rob Barnett: the Classical Editor of the UK-based http://www.musicweb.uk.net. Rob gives a brief observation of the 20 CDs Melodia's box-set with Mravinsky's recordings.

[quote user="N-set"]Romy, may I ask you why you've employed an autobias on 6E5Pin Milq's MF rather than your biasing technique (if there is any reason at all)?[/quote]If you look at the page #13 of the Milq DHT thread then you will see that the first...

(Romy feel free to move this post)[quote user="Paul S"]N-set, I understand you do not mean to hijack the thread with the Axiom, so I actually tried to make generic and/or thread-related observations. I don't know the 6E5P, but generic issues with sp...

[quote user="Andy Simpson"]Having made my last comment based on what I 'heard' via my laptop speakers, I took the clip to the workshop monitors last night to have a further listen - not to examine the weird processing, but to come to a refreshed idea...

Folks,A maker of Magnetics reading along has taken me privatly a little to task, it seems I was not clear enough with some of my statements, apologies.First, I seemingly stated that Amorphous material was "always iron", that was not my intention, amo...

I find that one of the most interning and stimulating ideas that you expressed was your experience with your bass horn
[quote user="Reinhard"] Midbass horns: are there are two 20 cycle bass horns which normally have 6,50 m in length and 3,20 i...

[quote user="jweiss"] When we spoke at CES, you mentioned that your experience with field coil drivers only extended to cone types. So I assume that you have never heard any field coil compression drivers. That would include the WE 555, 594, RCA 1428...

I made today some interesting experiment and for the first time during my “fundamentals channel saga” I get some stimulating and very result. I find a way to mount the “low frequencied S2 driver” on the speaker’s axe way above the Macondo’s tweeter. ...

Romy, I will attempt to fill you in on some backstory.
My Placette was purchased from a guy in France. My dac is made in the Netherlands. To an Australian that is just like next door. I have a good and strong rel...

I just posted yeastoday the post above and have got already a few emails asking about the “new” ways that I am planning to use S2. OK, let me to explain what is going on.

Over the years the home appliance division of Sharp Electronics Corporation was a leader in manufacturing microwave ovens. Millions American kitchens enjoyed Sharp microwaves and “nucleing” food almost become a part of our American identity. Still, t...

I just had a thought about wine tasting and how I would prefer not to approach a Grand Cru wine without my "special", quite large wine glass. I look back on all the great wine I +/- "wasted" over the years by drinking it with "normal" glas...

Again, a manufactures make a product, gave it to reviewer and the reviewer expressed nothing but indication of own idiocy.
Here is comes:

I keep receiving emails from visitors asking me about my views regarding the GM70 vs. 6C33C. I am clearly not in a position to provide any EXPERT opinion because of two reasons. First, I never had a properly built GM70 in my disposal. Second, I ...

[quote user="horny"]… me too would like to achieve as good as possible violin reproduction without spending a fortune on exotic or vintage drivers.[/quote]
I have voiced my frustrations about many contemporary compression drivers. People who manufac...

The name of the post I took from the 32th chapter of M. Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita, so from there will be the epigraph for this post:
“Gods, my gods! How sad the earth is at evening! How mysterious are the fogs over the swamps! …So...

My first post here, although I have read some of
the discussions on this site over the years.
I wanted to share my experience with my Micro Seiki RX-5000 and resonance
control of its heavy platter. I have seen posts here befo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Ok, let dive a little bit further into my examination of the subject of Lamm ML3

Thanks, Romy, for your generous reply.
I won't try to address everything about everything, but let me bore
you with a mini-history of what is going on with my playback so you
will understand where I'm coming from and where I'm trying to ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also do not forget that the phonostage that you built has very lash and very polite sound. [/quote]I would like to stress the politeness and lushness of 834PT-AIR phonocorrector. This characteristic of this phonostage s...

This is a new tool, so some training is inevitable. Yes, I saw your first sample with the peaks and my first thought was that it was not the deck, as I could not imagine a mechanism which would produce such spikes so perfectly repetetive (ok, maybe a...
