The last year there was some chatter up about artificially created so called “digital drugs”. If you are not familiar with it get familiar here for instance:

Many people know that I run a side business doing wedding photography. During the 24 years that I have been doing the wedding gigs, and after over 950 jobs that I went through I kind of have seen all imaginable wedding bands. Certainly the “events mu...

[quote user="floobydust"]As Romy pointed out, having high gain is not the same as power. If you're only barely cracking the volume control on your amplifier or preamplifier then it should be obvious that you have more gain than you need. If you're p...

Gluttons for punishment, Mark and I went to the Newport
Beach audio thing-ee again this year. Generally, I was most struck by how much
lower audio expectations seemed to be, even lower than last year. It seemed
like it’s sunk to the poin...

Finally, I'd appreciate your opinion on the scheduled implementation of regenerated electric power on my system.I am planning to hook up my entire gear on a single PP1050hv (230V) unit:2-channel:

It is difficult to generalize but I will. As much as ribbons with each hertz down sound more and more unpleasant the low power SET amps with each hertz down in bass region more and more and more loosing ground. Ok, I am not taking about the real bass...

This weekend a friend of mine visited me to listen my playback and there was a very illustrative occurrence. We listening my audio and everything was like it should be in the program. He was visiting my last time in 2002-2003, before the Macondo was ...

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

I am not a person who understands a lot about tuners. I understand a lot about sound and in the tuner world I am just a user of the things. If I need comprehension of the things I ask questions, I have very limited ability to extrapolate the sound of...

Amir, the Marantz MA 9S2s are the subject of this
thread, and I chose to keep using this amp because it was consistently acceptable
to me with different sources and driving vastly different speaker loads, including giant (Sound Lab A1)

I very much do not mind to try the biggest Khorn bass
section with my setup. I am trying to figure out how to do it with buying the damn
thing…
I need to say that the best midbass I hear in my life was
from Khorn, well not from Khorn itsel...

The other day I was listening to a friend´s system with nice Avalon speakers, only one 10" seemed to be enough, of course it seemed we were playing house when listening to music, everything was small and very nice and pretty...Now when matc...

It is the end of the year and while people think about
summation of the year’s events, I would like to elevate myself to a higher altitude
trying to observe the most significant things in audio with wider lenses. I am 52 and I begin to play with “...

Among many outrages foolishness that are so common among the people who going high-end audio one of the most ridicules is use of Single-Ended Triodes and low sensitivity speakers. The people who have db-meters between their ears instead of brain are ...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

[quote user="morricab"] I guess I view absolute tone a bit differently than what you describe. I think that each real instrument or person (as in singer) has its own "absolute" tone….[/quote]
Actually when I was taking about “absolute tone” I ...

I have to say I totally disagree with you on these numbers. Perhaps for some solid state designs (somehow subjectively solid state watts never seem to have as much grunt as valve ones), driving modern multiple-driver speakers where the crossover ...

An Audio Amplifier Design Philosophy
By David Berning ( Courtesy Meta-Gizmo.com )
I became interested in audio at a very young age because I liked music, but was too uncoordinated to be able to p...

user="Newtohorn"]Thanks for all your inputs. I take Romy's
words that the Olympian sound is not what customized horn systems in horn
enthusiasts' room sound like. Of course, I wanted to hear the opposite,

Musicians do respond differently to music than non-musicians. Brain scans have shown that different parts of the brain light up when their 'genre' of music or something close to it, or otherwise something easily comprehensible, is played to them,...

In this thread I would like to talk a bit about the practice in DSET driven multi-way horns configuration.
I have expressed my view that the architectural configuration that Macondo and Super Melquiades end up to be I find is the most interest...

[quote user="Paul
S"]Yes, insane amounts of money are wasted on "exotic" cabinet
materials and construction methods, for instance. And the misguided idea
of keeping it one narrow stack per channel does, literally, compromise the
sound, as does t...
