I am glad that you mention your use of 120A. I never heard it (consciously) and I bought it juts due to advice of 3 people, one of them was the guy who sold them. I have no idea what to expect from them but I think they shall not be too bad. I asked ...

Dear Romy,The tracks are correctly listed.Yes, the tracks are varied and some are not good recordings at all. BUT if you want to listen to Billy Bean play guitar or you want to hear Louis Stewart's first recording as an 18 year old then you hav...

[quote user="Bud"]I actually prefer the essence from the other end of summer, that wet, clear water running sound, so exuberant and hopeful ... though autumnal music has its own joys.. you only need encounter Vivaldi's Four seasons portrayed by...

A visitor of my site pointed out that the guys at AudioHeritage site have heard this new DD66000 speaker.

[quote user="haralanov"] So the tweeter is always needed. The bad thing is it deforms (in 99,9999999999999999999% of the cases) the perfectly round audio window, formed by the midrange channel and "pull" some notes sometimes at its axis. These are of...

[quote user="Ronnie"] Did you buy the Denon?I'm curious because Denon D-M31 (speakers not included) is on a recommended components list by the Swedish LTS (Sound Technical Society).

We, the horn people, know what the compression drivers could do. The controlled dispersion, low distortions, low mechanical dependency, low magnetic anomalies, high efficiency, higher maximum dynamics and many-many more advance are well known. The te...

[quote user="mats"]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 Schube...

Well, frankly this conversation is about nothing in my view as the way how the subject calculated there is no right and wrong in this debate. What is acceptable, what is reasonable, what is effective what is any another adjective to put in… phono...

Today is a “special” day in the subject of this thread – today the last waited piece of the projects – the inner-stage transformer will be shipped to me and I will have no more impediments to render the project. However, the intricacy of the pr...

I got today the Fostex F120A with all latest and greatest modifications on it. I put is in a temp .7 cu feet box with pretty much open back to see what the Fostex will be all about. I drive it from a bad consumer SS, composite-chip Hitachi amp from 8...

One of the most interesting outcomes of the Milq conversion into 6 channels is the impact it had to it MF channel. The tweeter is a separate subject, I still work on it, I know how it will be done but I did not hear the final result. I would li...

Hi everyone Guess what! Just had a visit to this system last night. Upfront, the owner - thank you Klaus again - is a very welcoming and friendly fellow. But also remarkably reasonable and decent. Total absence of any need to show off. You rather nee...

I was taking lately with the Blue Angel’s Andre and kept asking him about his cartridge’s bass. He got “scared” and asked me if I am looking for overly-anaphased bass, then he asked what kind music I am listening. I perfectly understand why he got “s...

[quote user="peter foster"] By "dynamic viscosity" do you mean the reluctance of an amplifier to be dynamic, i.e., the degree to which an amplifier sounds like it is bogged down, usually as a result of a poor rise time on transients, i.e., poor HF re...

[quote user="morespeakers2"]The injection channel is the only thing about the Macondo that raises my eyebrow as a kind of "out there" concept and I have been meaning to ask about it for quite some time.

Again, I do not agree with all notion of Rubber sound that Haralanov seeded. I can not speak what was in the situation that “be” described and 400Hz crossover. I do have the 8” version of 25W driver (I think it is 21W) and my feeling that it sou...

Well, the added benefits of cross-source validation is that some of the sources are stable but others are less stable and might vary in its basic quality with time. For instance digital is very stable and since you once set it up properly then it rem...

The Weiss AFI1 interface is measuring the following clock rates (in KHz) from the Model Two:
- 44.122- 88.244- 176.488
AND
- 48.000- 96.000- 192.000
Does this imply that the 48x clock is more accurate th...

[quote user="Axel"] is what I have called it, and what I hear you are describing? I wonder for how long you will be OK with it. [/quote]

The first level of listening perception is Static Level. At this level a listener perceives musical information as a collection of the individual sounds and a listening awareness tries to evaluate the “convince-ability” of those sounds. At this level...

I did not mean to go but last night at 6.30PM I looked again at the program and realized that they substituted the “selections of music from Latin America” to Beethoven 7 Symphony. That brought the concert into very different legion, making it very a...
