After a month of listening exclusively Melquiades and decided yestoday re-switch everything and to play Lamm’s ML2.
I was quite shocked with the result and I did not anticipate the ML2 could be so way off. I will not elaborate about the a...

Certainly, this sincere invitation was offered in part because they found you an interesting Cat, but I think that the offer was also inspired by the fact that you are writing pages of critique on items that you have not, in fact, ever heard.My Korea...

Among many outrages foolishness that are so common among the people who going high-end audio one of the most ridicules is use of Single-Ended Triodes and low sensitivity speakers. The people who have db-meters between their ears instead of brain are ...

Frank Blöhbaum, from Sweden I believe, have designed for Thorens a preamp that I think the first outside of Russia commercial use my 6E5P tube.

Hi Thorsten,
Interesting preamp ideas.
The Silvaweld is also using some rather interesting ideas. For
example, the power supply is all tube (ie. rectrifier and regulator)
with a large choke as well for filtering and using a 300b as the hi...

We understand that Charlus’ selection of drivers are not a selection yet but some kind of very preliminary idea of the drivers that he feels like he like. I said “he feels like he like” not accidently. I do not think Charlus, or anybody else in h...

[quote user="Paul S"]I recieved and accepted an invitation to hear an earlier version of the Cogent speakers, and I was subsequently asked for a considered opinion of the sound. I guess the designers had read from my posts various criticis...

It looks like the Cogent boys came up with a new design. It is good that they are keep looking, even thogh they unfortunately are restricted with their desire to stretch the use of their drivers over too wide bandwidth….
The new Cogent setup lo...

As the writer of the above-referenced propaganda, I am pleased to once again tweak the whiskers of the cat.
First off, this is promotional material so what the heck do you expect? Every brochure offers a new benchmark in performance or it is not doi...

I would agree that the Lowther is not hard to beat but the question is where and in whose mind does this competition exist? Is the Lowther, Manger, or other full range single driver in competition with different multi-driver approaches, other single ...

Somebody from AA was asking about electromagnet. The subject pup up here from time to time but this time Bruce Edgar uploaded an interesting comment. Bruce is not a typical AA Moron and if he says “inaccurate things” then it is not due to ignoran...

I know that some of you might consider it as a dangers subject and if you afraid of yourself then do not read any further. This view has no direct relation to the subject of my site, namely: “advanced audio and evolved music reproduction techni...

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

A few things I would like to say in context of Pham’s playback.
I will leave his infatuation with turntables alone – man like to collect turntables and he within his constitutional right to do whatever makes him happy. The problem that I see ...

Romy,
Air core is ok, but. 1. Self inductance in an unmitigated field clumps. You can easily see this by unwinding a hockey puck style air core inductor and measuring the inductance with each turn removed. Never will you have the smooth loss of indu...

Joe, I think I would battle it.
I would not be so certain. Mostly the SUV sized bass horns are notoriously bad sounding despite of the assurances of the system owners overwhelmed with so common in audio endowment effect. Not to mention that the Stag...
