i am well aware of the problems the 47 labs approach brings along with the good things it does.i have at times in my setups good results,in other setups disaster.47 and audionote use no digital/oversampling filter.this obviously can have negative con...

[quote user="oxric"] If the issue is merely to recreate a better sense of the live performance….[/quote]It might be not “recreate a better sense of the live performance” but rather to be able to administer in my own and deliberate way some “listening...

OK, Romy gave me an oppotunity to hear the system with the injection channel, so here's what I heard.The injection channel affects the presentation in a minor and in a very major way. Minor in context of already well accomplished Melquiades/Mac...

I wasn't validating the audio components -- was just saying it's a wonderful room, relaxed, comfortable, good sound (not Macondo) and I would say family- and child-friendly.
In my large Studio room I had chairs placed on the perpendicular bisector...

I need to say that I have no time or franc lay speaking interests
to read audio reviews. The unfortunate truth is that when I do sometimes I need
to re-read the same paragraph 2-3 times to understand what I was reading. I am
not damn and do read f...

Here is a snippet from an email from Jonathan Carr (Lyra cartridge designer) about objectives and considerations regarding cartridge loading. Most of this is old news, I only re-post it here as a convenient synopsis on this most misunderstood t...

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...

Rowuk, yesterdays I was attending the Jennifer Koh concert (a stunning concert BTW) and no, I was not thinking about you. Still, suddenly an interesting argument comes to my mind that a bit defeats your notion of standing waves. A standing wave is f...

[quote user="Gregm"]"What the purpose to use audio that does not filter out bad performances or to read a reviewer who does not know how to use this ability of playback systems? "
I don't quite understand the first part of your note.[/quote]

I need to note that MicroTTs, American Sound and a few other TTs with very heavy palter are complicated subjects. From one perspective a heavy platter is the key. I remember years back a few years Lechintsky published mathematical equivalents of TT ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I bought a few Linn Records own recordings of Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Dunedin Consort. They pushed them as “Studio Master” but they are WMA files – means the re-rendered compress...

[quote user="morricab"] Fine, just don't call anything from playback Absolute. The only absolute is live unamplified music, it must be so as it is the original event. [/quote]Actually I do like the term Absolute and exactly in this context. The...

I have a problem with how you are using the english language, Romy. You are using an absolute word (like absolute) to mean something you have invented and it is a relative thing. This for me won't do. I understand more or less what ...

Tweeters are a real mistery. Some should sound great and they dont, and some never will.I think you do need a lot of dynamics even at 10khz in order to get those sparkling highs that really jump out like the real cymbals and other crashing metals! O...

I think I understand better now. It is difficult for me to find storage for the endless little audio things around my house. Good luck on storing an extra pair of 20' mouths!On a different note, there is the issue of materials, mass, and damping. ...

Many years ago at a hi-fi show I arrived in the Audio Note room with it's 100k system (Gakuon power amps if memory serves right).. Fresh off my motorbike resplendent in leathers, Dead Can Dance LP under my arm.I asked if they could play track 1 side ...

I don't want to pull the thread way off but the thought occurred to me while reading here that audio bass never fools me into thinking it is real. Even my middling system once in a while can fool me in the midrange and treble for a few seconds or so....

I have owned a PurePower 2000i (prior to the company moving its production back to Canada) and while it had a positive effect on the playback it created more issues than it solved with its noisy switching recharging circuit and the internal fans. The...

This topic is a bit old and I do want to pose as Audio Note (UK) promoter, but it is almost the only manufacturer of amplifiers I pay close attention so I usually talk about them.That said, I know the project of the new amplifier from them, and as fa...

I think you also mentioned that you were involved with the Voyd (which for a Pink Triangle user as I was back then, looked very charming). I recall Voyd being recently acquired by Audio Note UK; are you affiliated with them?Anyway, I actually wa...

Do you use input 50KOhm Z-foil resistor between input tube greed and GND?Does Z-foil sound colder compared to Dale RN60D?U used Dale before. Now I use Shinkoh tantalum resistor. It has similar to Dale tonal balance but sounds smoother.I heard a lot o...

I was promising to tell stories of my audio miracles with no
order of chronology or importance, so here is another one. I think it was in
2002-2003. I was transitioning from Lamm amplifications to Melquiades and was contemplating
to introduce a DH...

I need to note that for audio person who are trying to make own playback to be expressive in one or another dimension is very useful in my view to watch and to read the conductor articulation, particularly during rehearsals. I will leave up to the a...

In the case of the Audio Note field coil cartridge the field strength (and hence output) was significantly less than that from the permanent (AlNiCo) magnet equipped Io. Yet the performance of the field coil version (Io Ltd) was 100x better despite a...

I heard the Audio Note AN-Es, they were pushed back into the cornes in specially prepared room and they wer very interesting. Dynamics were world class, cellos were extremely hairy, piano left hand was tremendous, everything you said. Still, the elec...

[quote user="twogoodears"]Also: a tuning fork, the basic, humble tool which makes a full orchestra to play "in tune" is - as applied math and acoustic, a sort-of interpretation of Nature and its Laws - giving 440 cycles (hertz) flat to the trained mu...

"As for the preamp, realistically 70db is a very large dynamic shift for most music as you note. A preamp that could do 70db perfectly would be much superior IMO to one that did 90db in mediocre fashion."Bingo! And therein lies the problem with digit...

Paul, thanks again for a nice input--sounds for me indeed seductive (well, I'm anyway +/- "self-convinced" to give a silver/amo a try).Do you use silver wire also in the tonearm? What I have in mind is a 2nd, all silver path for the 834, which would ...
