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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]A could years ago here and there begun to pop up small SS class “D” amplifiers made with high-end pretence. They all sounded like shit but by the efforts of a number of typically deaf and stupid or just simply whorish audio...

I do not have the similar feelings of sorrow for the wasted time. Whatever we do in a life is a wasted time in a way and life in pretty much what we sell to ourselves. I would like to note that people enter to time wasting ceremonies purely volun...

It is really amassing, how Melquiades takes recordings apart, literally and rebuild then in own manner! I never see anything like this, and I believe that I have seen something in audio.
Melquiades does something entirely unprecedented: it retrofit...

Gordon Rankin, it is the guy who promotes the silver-wired transformers? Oh, yes I need to put him my news section….
On the serious note I do not know if your IT people are correct as it might be too deal question to them and average corporate IT pe...

I was slowly looking for a compression driver that would go in my Fundamental Chanel down to 200Hz. The YL Acoustic 550N attracted my attention. Then I realized that it is the narrow throat type of the drivers, aka WE555, not exactly that I would...

The funny and poor Tuyen. It looks like another audio guy, as Russians says, “went over the hands”. The “went over the hands” is a very interesting Russian idiom that use very frequently apply to audio people. Years back it was once very deservin...

The reader who read my comments above about Lamm’s new ML3 amplifiers might have wrong impression where I’m coming from. I have a general tendency to be skeptical (because the experiences) when I exposed to audio but in case of ML3 there is much deep...

[quote user="drdna"]I think it has already been stated. Batteries in audio are inherently of limited utility. It is a tendency of audiophiles to dedicate themselves to a single "silver bullet" instead of building the system based on the particular ne...

[quote user="manisandher"] If I were feeling benevolent, I'd say the organisers didn't want to turn the meeting into a marketing event for any one particular manufacturer (although it seems Amarra did quite well it this respect). It's more likely...

I would like to pass some observations on my about sound quality in my video room. The sound in my video room is what I would call very very good, I am not kidding – really good. It is delivered by Altec 21S speaker driven by Yamaha B2 amp and ...

The people who use a single driver speaker believe the while their driver move back and forth for it also radiates a problem-free MF and HF. Near the same people believe that if an amp has capacitors with precious metals foil then it not only do ...

[quote user="hagtech"] Interesting. I remember getting low contrast levels when using the asa 32 film (I think it was pan-x), but huge grey scales. Sometimes I shot in tri-x just to add drama. In the end though, my best prints were ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do use some vintage elements in my playback but I use them purposefully. I recognize their strengths and weaknesses and I capitalize on the strengths only. I think this is the only sane approach I see; when some vint...

I am with skepticism treat that information about those WE demos. WE never did any interesting playback system solutions that might be stimulating in today home audio environment. At the time when WE was operational the requirements were very differe...

[quote user="MusicLover"] Higher even order distortion sounds richer and makes the sound "more live" to most people. YOu can get that anywhere in the signal chain. [/quote]

Wow, didn't I just do this? For all the tedium with directed listening to a de-constructed system, 2011 went by in a blink!This has been for me The Year of the Driver. Much learned, and much yet to learn with repect to choosing, modifying, combinin...

Mind boggling iteration! I.e. & eliminating common denominators, "If the sound is wrong... it is wrong."Agreed. IMO they are right -- ain't no two ways about it.[quote]The Cybernetic Audio System, on the other hand, uses a closed-loop feedba...

The ECL82 = 6BM8 was used a lot in low-end amps, both push-pull and single-ended. Actually, according to your radio's schematic to which you posted a link, they are not being used "one per channel," rather it is a mono radio (nothing wrong with that...

Rakesh, Equi=Tech is a know player in the fields of audio electricity. Back in 2001-2002 I had 3 of the Equi=Tech transformers. I was not pleased with results. I do not like the balanced operation for power lines – in my view it does something with h...

I think the key to understanding this case is that it is beginning to look like the tubes that came with the amp all were over the hill, electrically. Since I have no way to test them other than by ear, that is what I have done. So f...

David, I am not sure what your reply was all about and I am not sure where you saw hostility. You report that one way produces better result then other. I asked to elaborate what this “better” is in your observation and you went into talking about m...
