I did today my first recording with Model 2. The configuration-wise it was very cool. The Pacific now in single-wire mode while it does A/B to 88/24 and the clock also outputs 88K. The single-wire mode is the reason why I moved from the Model One...

Mr. Witmer seems like a very thoughtful and well-spoken person who is taken with the aesthetics/approach of various Japanese sound Senseis, most of whom are in turn rooted in "historical" American and/or English audio sensibilities. I'm afraid ...

Wellington,It is my understanding that lead was used because it'a anti an anti-seize properties. The bearing fit is very tight and I suppose this helped with the lubricants of the period and is not a problem with modern synthetics.The bearing does no...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] It is incredibly rare that an audio makers can express pure and unadulterated interest in Sound, interest that is wider and then boundary of own product or own field. [/quote]I agree, I met maybe only 1 or 2 who really kne...

Nope, I am not familiar with those Carlssons but I have seen a number of similar ideas. I never was too warm with them as usually people introduce is as a solution for main systems. I do not know how about that but for the second, “pilot-type” playba...

Well, the Ultimate Turntable. I had the chance to listen to some personally. Most have one in common:Overrated and hyped from deaf "reviewers"And .... price tag has no direct comparison to sonic excellence ... or a lot of technical features which are...

Romy,Thank you. Now that you mention it, perhaps 85% of the stateroom in question was indeed beneath the waterline, meaning that the potential for unruly resonances was perhaps less than I had at first assumed. The front and rear walls of the room we...

Very good. One thing that I would like to note that you might not consider now as you have no practical experience with those things for now. This thing is a personal preference and has no impact to sound. I personally prefer when I sit in my listeni...

Following the recent thread about the Prokoviev’s “Hale to Stalin” I would like to pitch to the choral music lovers one more name. Russian Orthodox liturgy mostly sucks. There was a dozen of Russkis composers who composed Russian chants: Totov, Grech...

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...

Do you think only Russian composed stupid music to celebrate own leaders? (BTW, not all that music was stupid) Well, in US we do it as well. David Diamond (a prolific American composer and the author of 11 symphonies, dozen quarters and so on) ...

[quote user="berlinta"]..."your boyfriend from Oswalds Mill"...
Absolutely superfluous, meant to insult only choice of words. My wife, if I'd show her this thread, would yell at you like a drill seargent. Her fuse is short. [/quote]

[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 ...

It is July Forth holidays and again across American will be placing the Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. Among near 20 overtures that Tchaikovsky’s composed it is difficult to find as bad composition as the 1812 Overture and it is very sorry that we Amer...

[quote user="jam"] (maybe another RX-5000 as a

The NY Times article about the stupid craze that the industry creates around Gustavo Dudamel.

Yes, the resonance point go lover but also the ratio of contributi...

Mani, Pacific is freaky and it detects HDCD code only at the resolution that it was encoded. If it was coded at 16 bit then it will not read the HDCD at 20 Bit. There is an option in there that set the HDCD detection death… I did not play a lot ...

I wonder what would symbolize American music of 20th century in 500 years; of course I am talking about classical music. Sure people will remember John Williams, William Bolcom, George Walker, Elliott Carter, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Joh...

[quote user="Paul S"]Of course the idea of "minimal" needs context and a priori determinants, like any idea at all, and I don't see that the Regas belong in this particular discussion, at least at this particular point. OTOH, the Continuum is anothe...
