OK Romy, I agree this should stay here, especially that I will probably have more observations to come as from the late January.

[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 was listening today the Bolshoy 1948 production on LYS twice. What the beauty. As the tribute to this performance I am posting articles about the singers who did the “Boris Godunov” with Golovanov in 1948. The Articles are courtesy to writing staff...

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. ...

Morricab,
Of curse you are very much correct but I always thought that what you said is understandable by default.
When I am talking about the ability of playbacks to care the “absolute tone” I indisputably meat sound reproduction of the “best” in...

[quote user="Andy Simpson"] (2) Yes, in most recordings - which are unlistenable - multiple microphones are used in close proximity in order to artificially generate 'clarity'. The side effects (as you noted) are massively exagerated (but uncon...

[quote user="Andy Simpson"] I thought that eventually you would take my hint.... liquid damping in microphones is something I have given some thought to - especially given that air comes under 'fluid dynamics' - but I will get to my own solution shor...

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 ...

Joe,
A few comments I need to make.
First, about the WE. I think it is a bit cheap, to bring to the table with me the arguments of the level that the “editor of the biggest and most influential magazine in the world, Stereo Sound, who can get...

Any Google hits this site gets from my post is a gift from me to The Home of the Cat. Can't imagine anybody searching "Silbatone & Penderecki"..a rather odd combination of terms stemming out of a unique event.
