That sucks. I use to have a box of perhaps a dozen of YO186 but I did not see it for a while, pretty much from the time I moved to new house. I was listening today some of my “critical” reference stuff and concluded with very high certainty that my M...

[quote user="rickmcinnis"]It is possible someone would buy the house JUST FOR THE SYSTEM and leave it as a separate listening house… [/quote] Yes, that would be very gratifying for sure and my ego will be dramatically enlarged but in reality we all k...

Amy plays peaty much weekly chamber music. I listen them sometime and the idea to let her quartets to sound slightly bigger in homes, in the way how they would sound in concert hall, never left me. Of cause we are talking about an active extension of...

A few days back an audio guy from Mexico-city visited me from. We did listen some music, talk a bit about audio. As usually I interrogated him about the problem he hears in my sound. The people who were in my room know that I do it with absolutel...

I was wondering what would I say or do with my house-build in horns if I move from this home? No, no not, the horror of married life that audio people love to tell to each other are very much not applied to me. There is no problem with computability ...

[quote user="decoud"]The idea is that just as you might have a seat in your garden that captures a particularly attractive perspective on it, so you have a point where such a view can be combined with audio playback. That gardens are rarely silent a...

I have no idea who Panagiotis Karavitis is. He isist that he is doctor and I hope he is better doctor then an audio reviewers, if not then I hope he cure only republicans…. Honestly I did not read the Karavitis’ review in while. I did first paragraph...

This is very interesting subject. As many times I went to live concerts with somebody I never remember that a person was listening problem. There were people who underdressed or over-dress, the people who over-used perfume, the damp people who read ...

There are few more observations I would like to share after listening
my new IB over this weekend.
The midbass. The midbass channel that is handled by a single
Vitavox 15 driver with use of my new IB became if not more propitiate but at
least m...

The main dangers I see are are:1. AC line voltage2. Tube plate voltages3. Falling from a high place4. Heavy objects falling on BabyI do not think there is a serious burn hazard with operating tubes. They are not hot enough to cause clinical burn...

[quote user="JJ Triode"] You mentioned bagpipes--do you think any bagpipe or other Celtic music can be of serious interest? I don't necessarily mean audio interest, but music/cultural interest. [/quote] JJ, I have no idea. Amy loves bagpipes and she...

[quote user="decoud"]So the ambition is low, and I am after a simple solution prioritizing these things, but the question of general interest is whether anyone has found an elegant way of turning the constraints of space into a virtue [/quote] We...

Well, if cause I would not keep the DHT tube with plastic bottom in sauna. Even though I did, purl for run, loaded 4 boxes of 6C33C under the lower sauna beach, still the subject tubes in sauna is rather a metaphorical concept for me then the true ne...

Congratulations, Romy and Amy!
Though it might be hard for a given audio nut to believe, for some of us, family comes first. My children grew up with reproduced Music, and they spent their entire lives "watching out" for hot tubes, TTs and cables...

[quote user="noviygera"] Is there a pill for that too? Seriously, it would be very interesting to hear what solution you come up with because I have converted from listening music solo to a small number of audience (friends). So much that I listen by...

I was keeping thinking about the new PP3000+ and if I want to get it now. This morning I had a very good listening session and a few time used the new and old units. Yes, I see a merit to get new unit. The PP3000+ has slightly better bass, significan...

Thanks, Nic. That is a wonderful but unfortunate for us news. Amy works all day on that Friday and I am sure has a full day or patients lined up. To insult the injury she plays a concert on that Friday evening:

A few days back a site’s visitor send me a tip recommending
to listening the new John Luther Adams's composition “Become Ocean”. It was

I spent good hour trying to configure and re-configure the system in order to get rid the loop noise. Ironically nothing worked still. I have no noise if I run CD played directly to poser amp, with all of them directly plugged to PP2000 and all g...

parents began considering to move closer to us. They are at their high 70s,
