Here are some folks who think ultra-stiff cones and cutting-edge technology are the way to go: http://polymeraudio.com/about/ I did not read all their explanations. I have never heard these speakers. Perhaps they will be at this year's THE Show, at...

With a typical for me sarcasm and cynicism I look though Paul Bolin’s writing about “new” Audio Research Reference 3 preamp. Bitching about preamps is my specialty for years. It is not that I’m on a market for a preamp but whenever somebody does anyt...

@zztopThank you, it is a good idea, but now you make me add a new research on my audio research queue. :-D If somehow I find out what are the right material characteristics for a >50 Hz horn, I may try contact my old University¹, to try to grab so...

I have often thought that the necessity of a UPS comes from inadequate power supply design. Sure it is easy to buy a product to insert between the audio system and power line but at the end of the day, are we simply giving our power supplies an easie...

Since all audio folks know that the wall gives us highly variable power (voltage being just about the least important aspect), it occurs to me that a way to measure it that includes all the various parameters would be highly desirable. It further occ...

[quote user="rowuk"]Maybe a lot of what Romy or Harlanov hear is determined by what they have conditioned themselves hear in a specific way? Maybe we are all victims of our own "conditioning" and need to address this first? What IS amazing to me is t...

It needs 3 thing:1. professional designer2. professional listener3. mathematical theory by a mathematicianmy micro macro linearity theory is a theory for this subject but i think audio need powerful research in a right direction.i think this is not e...

I think this post need to have an epigrapher:
“We knew what we wanted to hear, and so we developped, and developped, and developped... In hundreds of small and bigger steps. Over thirty years. Till we were "there" where we always wanted ...

[quote user="Antonio J."] … looking like the Kemp's unit. But that's provided the input electricity is still under 5% of distortion. They also state that that performance is under linear load, so it might be possible that using chokes or trannies loa...

i have heard wilson speakers with these amplifiers:Vitus audio 50w , Asr emitter 140w, conrad johnson 130w ,all audio research setup with AR 600w, krell reference evo one 400w , krell fpb 400w, einshtein 50w, pathos 50w, mark levinson 200w, krell 2...

Yes, Paul, I got your points and I find them valid. It is hard to explain what I’m interested in. When I try to convey those ideas then to people are under faulty presumption that I looking for some custom coloration, like SPU or Tannoys form 50...

After years of using the Expressive Technologies SU-1 and SU-2 step up transformers I come across to a fact this morning that the Expressive was reviewed by Robert Harley in June, 1992. I read the Expressive’s preamp review but I never seen this one....

Bud,
thanks, perhaps I will get in touch with him but I do not know what I might doe with his AB amp…
Still, I generally have difficulty to talk with audio people and to extend any credibility to what they said if I did not experience personally ...

Well, maybe a little cussing first to set the tone. The older SPU's are now well sought after, many will end up in collections at now over inflated prices probably in the Far-East where they are worshipped. I've heard a few older SPU's and even those...

Given that most commercially produced audio equipment is originally the work of engineers, and given that most of it doesn't perform as well as one would like then it is fair to say that engineers generally haven't succeeded in applying what they hav...

Ok, this article is about good thing in audio – the price. Yes, ironically nthere is ONE aspect of audio when price works very nicely. During the last few years a lot of publicity in media was spent to the recent Stradivarius revelation. Search and...

Hi,I'm new to "Romy the Cat's Home Page," was impressed when I read a thread comparison of the Lamm L1/L2 linestage, which prompted me to post here. While I'm not an electronic's wizard (gift is mechanical), audio has been part of my life, dating bac...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Well I assume you mean the "pros". After this weekend at the Paris Hifi show (first one ever for me), I cannot say that I place much value in what the "pros" might think.
Man, honestly, what crap sound in most every room...

I'll refrain from commenting on the performance of the Alexandria; I've heard it once and am willing to keep an open mind on the grounds that the installation may not have been correctly set up; it was at an audio show paired with Audio Research gear...

Moreart Most people on this site only badmouth things they don't understand. From what i have read the last few years on romy's site, there is a leader and a bunch of follower's that have no clue of audio basic's in sound reproduction. The leader j...

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...

William, I do not know what to say. Russians have a proverb that says: in fishless word even a crab is considered a fish. You might appreciate your experience with F120A, I do not, furthermore I cannot stress how much I was not pleased with this driv...

Yep, Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. Saying honestly, to celebrate Thanksgiving outside of US, we are in Mexico now, is kind of strange... I disagree that Audio systems are the interior decorator part of music. I rather think that for a person who ...

Well, I think you missed what I aimed. It is not the question how much Srajan own or Srajan’s writer’s mind was spend to cook up the 6moon articles. You would hardly see any analyses, research or any attempts of demanded assessments at 6moon, or any ...

Mr Edwards (I think that's your name):I find the issue you raise, rather inadvertently, a very interesting one. As a matter of habit, I come across a lot of people, a bit like yourself, who know absolutely nothing about audio, and in fact are dea...

Hi Romy, 'tis been awhile, but my friend Neil alerted me to this discussion, and thought I might contribute to it. While this segment of my TAD 'Whitepaper' deals with only the bugscreen, there are many other …" evolved results…" that, to my ear, and...
