Eventually I was able to fish the LP of the Brahms #4 by Barbirolli and Wiener Philharmoniker during the Musikvereinssaal 1967. I got it in UK for somewhere around $50. I have a special ever-growing shelf in my room with the best performances ever we...

Well, it might be some kind of misunderstanding… The XV-1 was their flagship product in end of the 90s and it cost I believe $1.6K-$1.8K retail. The reasons why I know it certainly because I had a few quite credible people at that time who stro...

[quote user="angeloitacare"]your site is very educational for me, and shure for many people who frequent your site.But at the same time, it really nervs to see your snobism, your percepcion that who is notso educated, has so much knowledge like you, ...

I kept thinking about cats and cat food (also known as birds) listening habits this afternoon. That's why parrots bob up and down, as well as (less often) twist back and forth on one leg sometimes-- to triangulate and pinpoint a location in all...

Joe, it you willing to quote me then quote my entire thought but not the out of context taken sound-bites that make you demagogy sealable. I am sorry to say it but you are in uncharted water and you are out of depth. I am not sure why you are s...

[quote user="DHT4ME"]Well we know that Steinberg who created Wavelab is also behind ASIO. The Ottachan ASIO notes state that Wavelab was the sonic standard for compiling the plugin. It is possible to get very close to the Wavelab sonic standard...

Yes, it's might be interesting. I was thinking about it when I had both systems back to back. It was superbly interesting time for me. The decisions to remove Macondo from my listening room was a result of unadulterated anger I felt because in my...

Romy,As it happens, I approached N-Set as I thought I might suggest some transformer winders who might be more reliable than Peter of Tribute Audio...As an aside I wanted to find out if the fish market in Barcelona is as good as it used to be the las...

In what way do they sound different from FM recordings? What for were they recorded? I mean that maybe they weren't live performances but final rehearsals using more mikes than for broadcasting... Interesting observation anyway. Maybe it's the Sansui...

[quote user="KLegind"]I am a big room buffoon. I like to see and hear a room and I like to walk around and "test" it. Sounds dumb but sometimes I can sit in a room and dream about what could be done to it in terms of Sound. It started around the ...

[quote user="oxric"] But I take issue with your often used accusation that other audiophiles are using faulty methodology and their conclusions are null and void. I do not think anyone has ever questioned this stance of yours and the more you mak...

First the other customers of PP that are having a hum problem are NOT my customers and use different components than I. Second it is not just the turntable motor but also get the hum from the phono stage when plugged in. Again plugging these componen...

Okay, since you ask, I think I have said it before, and I consider it kind of pointless since we are talking more for the sake of nostalgia not anything to do with what we may do with our audio systems in the present. Anyway, yes I owned the Rosewood...

[quote user="drdna"] The vast majority of things that give us information about a performance of a musical piece are preserved or lost in the recording process, not in the reproduction by the audio system. [/quote]
I would very much argue this. I wo...

If I were an idiot and were interested to sell audio from home, as many dealers do, then…. if I get this new houses then I might open a business with a cool intricate name: “The Battle Road Audio”. Here is the quandary to the readers of this site: w...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Romy,I have good confidence that it was the tubes and not the circuit. I have checked the cathode driver that bias the 6C33C and there was not any problem. Sure if the cathode bias failed, the 6C33C current will shoot way u...
