"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...

Yes, sounds via YouTube are relative at best, and no one should really judge a speaker that way, although one is usually safe with a summary dismissal where any commercial hi-fi product is concerned. I guess I was amused by the "sales notes" and arb...

I have heard DA0 3.0 / TL0 3.0 in my friend system.I listened to this DAC/Transport in a average 2way living voice system without good cables. it is hard to speak about new DAC but It try to share my feeling.I am familiar with sound of CEC TL0 Transp...

... yes... just sayin'... there's more to power supply than the AC input."If the power supply output ain't pretty, neither is the sound generally."Audio electronics operate off DC. The conversion process from AC to DC has its own sonic consequences. ...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]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, everythin...

I'll look for that CD. There are some Bychkov concert performances in the archives of the Berlin Phil Digital Concert Hall that can be accessed for a modest fee. I thought the sonic quality was rather good allowing for the occasional dropout etc.As f...

I stopped yesterday at Borders and looked through current Stereophille magazine. It looks like 47Lab came up with their turntables. In the magazine there was an article about the TT by Mike Framer. Framer is the dirty Pampers of audio and I routinely...

[quote user="Paul S"] I have not tried the Eichmann, but I will do so in the near future. It seems stupid to me that they do not make a Ag socket. No surprise, my experiments suggest that the Ag connectors "improve" the "silver qualities" of the Ag...

One of the greatest and the most important things for me in power amplifiers is their ability to differentiate tones. When you listen live music you practically never hear two identical tones. Even two identical pitches presented after the diff...

I do not know what LF you have but, I would be very interesting how this unit will behave in context of a playback with fully developed LF as all of transformer-attenuators should kill bass. Anyhow, I will subdue any my typical criticisms about the t...

As with everything audio, one has to put it in context in order to evaluate it. In my case, the ML2s have a reasonably "high" and stable input impedance, the TAP TVC has a reasonably low (and totally stable) output impdance, and my cable runs are sh...

What's the deal with all these expensive, small value caps? Are people paying this kind of money to bypass their cheaper couplers, or what?http://174.132.244.231/copper-teflon-capacitors.phpThis spiel contains a lot more "technical information" than...

[quote user="rowuk"]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. [/quote] Rowuk, nobody w...

fair enough- you're absolutely right, i didn't!it's difficult to get that perspective on sonics without legitimate guideposts-- even with a lifetime of playing and recording music, it's difficult to know what the parameters of recorded sound ar...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Can't say I share your abhorrence of all thing silver. My experiences have been somewhat different. I wouldn't however want to be accused of blinkered partisanship towards any particular brand though so I'll say no mor...

Well, it is not really debating but “kind of” debating… A few days back I receive emails from guy who been using PP2000 for a few month. He informed me that very much disagree with my assessment of PP2000 contribution. He explicitly asked me do not p...

As I recall, the small ATCs at THE Show were the 19's, with the "long-throw" version of their otherwise-spectacular, domed MF driver, which their larger drivers employ, along with a range of woofers. I think they make amps for "consumers" now, too, ...

The subject of this head is not the Continuum Turntable but rather the little frighten Moron with sentimental name Michael Fremer. It is important to note that Michael Fremer is not just a Moron own problems but the persons who is with his proactive ...

The thread specifically started with the subject of dynamics - not limited to any one type (I do disagree with the principle of macro vs micro dynamics, as understood in audio as live they are never exclusive of one another - it is possible however t...

Because no young person I know is interested in hi-end audio, so the industry may well be dead when baby boomers lose their hearing!?:-)In the meantime, if one is not gullible (moronic, Romy would say), it
is quite interesting how audio products d...

Steverino, I spoke about it a few years back when I was just introduces to the idea of double-conversion class D regenerators. There are ton of them out there. I did tried two of them they were not good but it does not mean that other will not be goo...

Romy,
Your findings are more congruent than not with
my own experiences with different
systems and environments.

Anthony, the rock located in a middle gives a
great advantage of shortest and symmetric cables.[/quote]But it is only the interconnects to the amplifiers that need to be longer...no others...speaker cables stay as is...a...

John, a few corrections for start
First of all the gullible and moronic are not interchangeable words and I never use one instead of other. Second Audio Note Ginga does not look like traditional Micro. It has oil suspension and God knows what ...

[quote user="Axel"] … you have put one of his quotes under your post, so I guess you do. Despite not being inclined to take much note of anything other then your own 'philosophy', (which is fine), at least in this case you seem to do go with som...

But I wouldn't rule out playing rock on a system that offer fidelity to the music in classical repertory. However, back to the reproduction "system".The expression Romy used of "musical content" is interesting. I use the expression musical ...

Regarding combined driver diaphragm area for ULF: Romy wrote: "...I disagree that using a bunch of 10" drivers is some kind of compromised in way. The six 10” drivers give me a surface of 2.3 18” drivers..." I recognize the relative and impo...

Hi Romy:
I am trying to build up a good audio system on a budget and have enjoyed reading about your philosophical approach to music and music reproduction.
I will not waste time with "what to buy" equipment recommendations in magazines or th...
