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...

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 any money and did not accept ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]FM Acoustics’s Manuel
Humber speaks about his Harmonic Linearizer device. It is very possible that this FM Acoustics preamp is a fine
unit and that it does better than other EQ solutions but why the EQ solution

[quote user="steverino"]I think this only works with grossly deficient recordings. I believe Levinson chose a historical recording as his example for the reviewer. But it allows the FM Acoustics listener to spend endless hours fiddling with the contr...

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 ...

[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 (...

Wow:Looks like a trip to Boston coming on for the big guy once the snow is gone.Very interesting doings there Romy!Your cat is looking well, and the amps are eye candy. I can only assume the sound equals the appearance.Time will tell, hopefully I'll ...

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...

Although Levinson appears to have missed the boat with respect to musical content, he did show what can be done with Sound, per se. I still use his demos as a sort of mental yardstick with respect to the quality of the sound he did "reproduce".With ...

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...

Chris, I'm not Romy but I've listened to some of their products -- about which I'll talk later. First:[quote user="dazzdax"]Hi Roman, FM Acoustics amplifiers from Switserland have been regarded by many audiophiles (mostly the ones with lots of money)...

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...

[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 ...

Oh, David, come on! Can you for a second to stop to be a pretentious been counter and look at the picture from slightly more elevated perspective? I am glad that you do not worship the expensive parts, unique design, and precession of construction of...

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...

Oliver, I do not think you understand "faithfulness" in the same way as I do. Ironically out differences of views are not linguistics but rather in the realms of objectives and intentions.
You are right and there are a number of companies who hide t...
