I am with great pleasure observe the craziness that “rakeshpoorun” created around the buy of a Fane’s new production run of Studio 8M drivers. The Cat[/quote]Romy, In another life, I would have derived some pleasure fro...

Adrian, I had Edgarhorns that have evolved since I bought them in 2005. In my current set-up, nothing remains of the original Edgarhorns as conceived by Bruce, other than the speaker system remains front loaded horns. I noticed the same sense of he...

Roger Skoff: “A cool half million dollars for a pair of speakers! Certainly impressive, but is it sustainable” Well, the question about sustainability and reference to the Death Spiral is a good one. However I have more interesting question to ask: w...

Today the electricity was wonderful and I had some time spent playing records. I was playing only my ill Shelter and I really did not like what I heard. At this point I might confirm that even the lowest bass is not where I would like it to be – it l...

The reason for posting is in a way relatively simple, some of us got the impression a few years ago, that it is not sufficient to be willing to pay any price to get a real superior unit. No matter what we will pay, in a way any commercial constructio...

Paul, I hear you clearly re wall mount. Well...I have chosen the hard way an occasion to have one, +/- universal solution I could "copy&paste"if I change location. Go through that hell and have it done once and forever. I even ask my daughter to...

The whole room (L-shaped) is larger as you all noticed, but as Roman saw in my Blog , the listening space is smaller - i.e. about 6,5 x 4,5 meters with low 2,70 ceiling - and is a perennial work in progress... yes, the Stereo Lab 1000 hz is a true wa...

Maybe you didn't mean that it would be necessary or even desirable the existence of some "tailor audio", though I understood it implicitly. It's my fault. Custom audio (and not DIY as it's commonly practiced) is something that might work fo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]We are at severe devaluation of reference points and nowadays any Moron with a rudimental knowledge of HTML and a few vocal cronies can become a “reputed manufacturer”. [/quote]Hi Romy, it is even worse. Based on the high n...

Still, you Boston people have no idea what it's like to have literally nothing, ever, apart from the odd bit included by happenstance on the 1 ridiculous station that's available. The 1 station I get here has NO IDEA WHATSOEVER they are playing....

Last night, leaving the MET HD re-broadcast, the Willy Decker’s production of La Traviata, (what a stunning performance of Natalie Dessay as Violetta!!!) I under impression of the performance asked Amy what she would do if she has 2 hours to live. Re...

I guess Thorsten is laughing since he should be the main receiver of TdP email. Popularity of a product is a double bladed sword. I do hope that sales of EAR 834 phono stage increased notably after Romy decided to make that circuit into his "end of ...

[quote user="Paul S"]But I do appreciate your applied thoughts on the evils of feedback loops.[/quote]I don't think that feedback loops are evil. They solve some problems and create others. Your human body employs a virtually infinite number of suc...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Kunashirsky, I do not want to “estimate the remastered vinyl obtained by this technology”. Nether I want to “go to Page 8 of your site” or to any other page. It look like you have some kind of strong believes about some kin...

Do any of you have one single greek symphonic recording? I know it is not fair to compare commercial success with artistic, but at the end of the day, recordings ARE a big part of the life blood of a performing ensemble.When we add purpose to the lis...

At the risk of sounding like a yahoo, can i ask you romy if you have used your PC for internet radio playback. , as opposed to cd or other forms of digital playback ? My cd collection played out of iTunes to my DAC sounds lifeless, pointless. Howev...

Ok, understood, at least somewhat. Are you suggesting that the S2 operates at the frequencies between 1000hz and 3.6khz? I am not insisting upon using the driver at the frequencies that I was initially suggesting; far from it, actually, as these were...

Have you tried phono sources yet?[/quote]

I have been a strong proponent of PurePower since Romy introduced me to their units maybe 10 years ago when I was a writer for www.enjoythemusic.com. My system has had their original 1500, two 2000+ and one 3000+ over the years, and still use two of ...

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, it seems like you are basically talking values and value here. No way to know for sure ahead of time how your children will take to Music, let alone hi-fi, and also no way to be sure now how long any interest will last, or...

[quote user="unicon"] I disagree.-My system does not sound crap. It certainly does interest me but it is not the matter.-And I haven't lost interests in sound but maybe opposite.If you read carefully I say HiFi playbacks doesn't turn me on anymore. I...

He was a member of the Vienna Boys' Choir, then studied at the Vienna Hochschule für Musik. There he studied piano, org...

Yeah, that is low life for sure but that kind of takedown is becoming more common. People are copying the politicos (of all types and persuasions). If they can't give a memorized answer or it jars one of their buzz phrases they feel free to slime yo...

From another perspective it has film capacitors and the non-polarized Nichicon Muse caps. They take up-to to 30 days to burn-in. So, it might be just too fresh. I would not say that it kills everything – it is just a very-very slightly brighter, enou...
