If you one of those who feel that playback make difference then I do not think that better playing of Bruckner music would require any different playback efforts than an y other better playback. Still, practicing “better playback” and loving t...

Yesterday I was looking through “The Absolute Sound” off the stand. There was one moment in there that made me to pay attention and to comment about the read. In the very beginning of the magazine, in the reader letters section, there was someb...

This is my old worst-keep secret. I did mention it somewhere but recently I reached with my playback a new level of this effect, so I will point it out in a dedicated thread. A playback reproduces some kind of sounds. Better playback are capable for ...

I admit tat I ma kind of a freak of nature in my pursuit to the abstract absolute tone of orchestra. Attending life performances I practically never hear “tone” that satisfies me. In the Mecca of my tonal satisfaction there was 3 years ago a vi...

Funny you should bring this up, since I was just thinking (today) about how some of my favorite conductors seem so adept at presenting a narative or "thread" that can "unify" otherwise-discursive material, say, Brahms, for example. Apart from other ...

KM, I don't know how you come up with the belief that I conclude that "it's a bad performing driver." Either the 138, or the earlier 120... Or that because I didn't use 120s that i haven't heard them. And as ever...

A couple of nights ago WFMT re-broadcast a concert I had attended some weeks earlier. It was the Emerson SQ performing in the lovely Martin Theater at Ravinia. On the program were the last quartets by Haydn, Bartok and Schubert. I sat about 20 row...

Unfortuanately, the NJ Symphony "Golden Collection" is up for sale. The orchestra paid so much for the collection, they can not pay off the debt. They are looking for high rollers who can buy the instruments, but permit the orchestr...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I still feel that a complementary upper bass channel is begging to be used in this system. [/quote]Yes, Romy, the upperbass channel is absolute mandatory. My comments were only about the particular driver, nothing more than...

Yes, if you are at 40Hz first order then you are with regular dedicated LF channel and tone is certainly a subject. The entire definition of ULF channel inkstand or LF channel is that ULF channel has no tonal information. It is very same like use twe...

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...

The texture of the strings is a huge subject. Audio has so much control over it! it would probably worth to have a new dedicated thread that would map the audio efforts to the expressionism of different group instruments, separate do string, upper an...

Years back, when I was doing B/W photography very serious (I was 12-14 then), I always had in my mind an idea of “different” film processing methods. I had a notion that film shell be developed in a certain way, very different they it was done by def...

The name of the post I took from the 32th chapter of M. Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita, so from there will be the epigraph for this post:

Of course the All-Important Idea of Consciousness is not and never will be a commodity, which pretty much guarantees that we will read precious little about it in consumer-oriented magazines like TAS, etc. And, naturally, their consumer-oriente...

Let's just pretend for the moment that you haven't heard the particular TAD driver Kevin is using , and consider the possibility that for at least for some portion of its frequency range, it has a tone similar to the S2 - perhaps it uses an alnico ma...

Thanks, starboy.
It is educational. Your Mantis might be an interesting cartridge and it is too bad that there is no way getting any frame of its performance besides buying it. Among the people I know, in whose listening rooms I was and why were and...

I got partway through your first post in this thread and i thought to myself that perhaps the solution is to list greivances and ignore the good bits when it comes to reviews- published in an audio review magazine, or not. It's not too hard to get us...

Harlanov,I would be interested in an explanation why the topology for HF and UHF must be the same. I do not agree with this premise especially in 4 or 5 way systems where primarily the last octave only is demanded. Here there are only overtones (most...

As some of you know I’m playing last couple days with Red 10” Tannoys from 60s. My selection of 10” was not accidental -I would like to get as less as possible of that “Tannoy bass” but I did run very far the “Reds” turned out to have 27Hz open...

I think my complaining against HF might be understood as my position in opposition to HF in generals. There is nothing could be further from truth. I am a strong supporter of excessive bandwidth of electronics and acoustic systems. I do not min i...
