I bet Taiwanese got tired of getting paid cents on dollar (and usually late) for product they developed and manufactured. The real guilty character in this all affair is Romy the Cat and his rumblings . Without it Pure Power would be selling as it wa...

[quote user="dazzdax"]Hi Roman, FM Acoustics amplifiers from Switserland have been regarded by many audiophiles (mostly the ones with lots of money) as the best sounding (solid state) amps regardless of price. They even bettered the best amps from Kr...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not know that Lynn Olson and Earl Geddes involved in Levinson’s operation. With all disagreement with those individuals I thought that they are smarter than to deal with Mark Levinson. I hope they did not give him an...

[quote user="KLegind"]The DIYaudio, Lynn Olson and Geddes remark was a joke - but not as far off the mark as one might think. [/quote] Actually I very much disagree. Olson/Geddes and Levinson are so much in different scale that their names together (...

To explain what I mean when I say "cold and sterile" it may help you when I tell you what other systems I perceived that way (assumed you have listened to them): One was the KEF system in the ground floor with Mark Levinson electronics (that was not ...

Hi Roman, yes it is true that it is a bit foolish to refer to Krell and Mark Levinson, but I had to refer to some familiar brands that are in high regard among many of us. Many audiophiles from the Far-East (Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, Si...

This is always good advice, to get to know the character of the phono stage. Because my favorite cartridges are not low voltage (I use Decca London Jubilee and Reference) I have never had a need for the ET SU-1 step up unit. In fact, I had this in my...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I'd agree with that. I wouldn't mind seeing the British PM being seen to support the manufacturers here (such as Avid & Naim!) in such a public way. However, such conspicuous consumption wouldn't be well received here ...

I thought about this for many years... but, to make the story short:I agree with that idea for Loudspeaker manufactures, this makes a bit sense, but even here you will have experiences, which will make you die 10 years earlier.Avant-Garde for example...

Well, I did hear some very positive result when people did not make CDs form glass copies (as the “big people” do) but actually burned them in the “regular” CD writers. How they did it I have no idea. Also, I have no idea what hardware/software...

It is shame that in 21 century we have such mediocre, not to say moronic, park of music servers.
Whoever does music servers t know stat a file server with uncompress 24-bit files is a phenomenal source of music. So, why we have not a lot of well-per...

Recently, I would say the last 2-3 years, I detected a very foolish tendency that audio people are brewing within themselves. A typical today’s audiofool holds within itself a hope about existing of a “secret”, no discovered yet, SS high power amplif...
