The Merriam-Webster defines haunting as lingering in the consciousness and in some cases having a disquieting effect. So, I wonder is anybody experienced any unexplained haunting experiences in audio? I do not mean the "transcendent" events that you...

It is so funny how the things are turning up. Amy brought her grandma’s piano that was not user for good 40 years. After we set it up and tune we concluded that the piano is not good. We concluded that we do discard the sentimental value and will not...

Goetz, seriously, I thought that a chance of meetig somebody from Gdansk here is zero(or actually I did not think of that at all). Since we are both in Gdansk, or at least sometimes you are, you are very welcome to visit me--I leave in the very cente...

The fact is, typical "stereo" L and R separation is mostly an engineering hodge-podge to begin with, and any further messing with it will be very much settled by ear, whether at line or at speaker level. Yet James Bongiorno set out to "solve" the pr...

[quote user="steverino"]My point is not that separation per se must always be maintained but that the character of the music determines the degree of optimum separation or co-location. For example the first violins are grouped together for a reason s...

i think high end start when i sense all sounds are equal in quality.many years of listening to audio i think my high end starts when in my mind there is no differense between sounds of differnet audio systems....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]In fact in today world there is a very interesting phenomena - very low-end audio, literally mass-produced table radio that on can buy for $50 sound hugely more musical for classical repertoire then the mega-dollars playba...

In the thread: “The industry-embraced audio and classical music” Stitch made a post that implied that the industry-sponsored indifferent sound is more attracted to the people who has a lot of money. I do not know how accurate that observation but...

[quote user="N-set"]This is unfortunately +/- what I'd expect from torsion field followers.Akimov and Shipov are two Russian "academics" behind the very concept.[/quote]Excuse me, can I dumb. I ask: What does Mr. Akimov IMET to audio? Or Mr. Thorns? ...
|
[quote user="haralanov"] It is certainly very very important, but how many systems you have listened where you can not be able to recognize the HFs as disconnected part of the sound? I just wanted to ask if you have ever heard a system, where the...
|
Maybe it's also the very "visual" mind and related vocabulary trying to express audio ideas? While there are any number of verbal strategies for describing sound, most hinge on "visuals".Another visual is the new-ish process whereby items (generally ...

[quote user="Stitch"]Is there a
definition of "sound like shit"?[/quote]
Stitch, this is VERY good question. I think the
answer in the eye of beholder. I know two guys who own or use to own TechDas 1. One did not like it and he before it use to ha...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I mean that EQ is a fine “tactical solution” but it a very bad strategic direction. [/quote]
I guess the question of the strategic value is dependent on the strategy.[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Look, there ar...

Jessie,I just managed to snag a used Wavelength Brick version 1 for a very good price. The Brick and Cosecant v2 use the same DAC section, unless you purchase a newer Cosecant v3 that is offered with an upgrade to a multi-bit 24/96 DAC chip. I listen...

[quote user="Stitch"]Whenever I had contact with "Audiophiles" and I asked about the impressions about a component, I get 99% always the same answer: "....too analytical for me....whoa strong bass...I like it faster...I prefer more highs...I prefer m...

yes, very well put. I have enough 'intuition' to have understood, unless you wish this to be THE one and only... As to the 'linearity first', I was talking about the first generally accepted step in cross-over tuning and measuring. I know this if far...

Despite the fact that how I ever cared about anything mozfart when I have blind listening; I think we should bear in mind that till today we have had limited knowledge in anything playback acoustic(to be really accurate).99,999 % of people involv...

Hm.... I generally late to technology innovations in audio and I am OK with it. As many of you know many of "innovations" in audio are very much shooting to a wrong target and in most of the instances with a wrong dun and wrong ammunition. The new o...

I am not well familiar with what Berkeley. Their voyage to the beginnings unit that the company started was irrelevant to me and then thinner USB version did not attract my attention. It is not that I feel that they were bad units. I never had th...

Here's a computer playback approach that I though people might be interested in. In many ways, it's pretty much the leading edge of computer playback as far as I know.The idea here is to isolate the DAC as much as possible from the PC. All the audio ...

I hope i could have a comparison between New Audio Note UK CDT-Six Transport and the CEC TL0 3.0.
Audio Note CDT-6 is not in iran and it is very expensive around 153k$ .
I hope i could have CDT-6 to compare with CEC TL0 3.0 .

it seems the computer audio problem is not bit errors and even correct bit-perfect digital data (from computer) does not give us good sound.
the wadax new server (computer) does not use digital processing and it onl...

In that vein..... the only CD's that I have found to be worthy of
using, to copy audio to, are made, or resold, by TDK as the Music CD-R

How came that I can’t write a file longer then 2G? As I remember form past, the FAT partition had limitation of 2G but my drives are NTFS formatted and it should not be an issues. Perhaps a WAV file has by nature 2G limits, doesn’t it? If this is the...

I would like in this article to propose my view how I see the high-end audio should be. It is not a secret, and it has been expressed in many of my comments within my site and everywhere else, that I am dissatisfied not only the state of high-end...

Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note does traditionally price its pro...
