Rakesh,
I think no one sane would feel that a better tonearm imposable. Anything is possible “better” but it is not the point. In my view, the point of selection an audio elements for own playback is not to find what is abstractedly “better” ...

[quote user="mem916"]I think there must be something to the theory that there is debris down in the grooves that the VPI and other similar machines cannot get out, based on the difference I hear after cleaning with the new machine. I admit that I ha...

[quote user="Dave_at_BW_Broadcast"]The development team like to be a little secretive when it comes to the nitty gritty of the design of the tuner. A lot of it is proprietary and follows from extensive R'nD time and cost.
I think these best w...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Oh, David, come on! Can you for a second to stop to be a pretentious been counter and look at the picture from slightly more elevated perspective? I am glad that you do not worship the expensive parts, unique design, and pr...

I sometime love to browse the old posts within my site. The site is 3 years old and it represents a little slice of “dairystic” history. Sometimes I found it entertaining to cruse in own record observing the triumphs and stupidities of my...

I parsed in past the Willem Mengelberg’s recordings of Strauss’ Don Juan with Concertgebouw in 1938 but today I got a record of the “Hero's Life” that they did in 21 April of 1941.
The 21 April of 1941 is a bad time in Europe. Everything was...

Not to mince words, I have five. And this from a guy who usually disdains such collections. But there are exceptions.

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...

[quote user="Telstar"] scooter wrote:* Regarding playback, I misspoke in my original post of an "Audiophile music server." Upon further reflection, this is an oxymoron, if not a moronic phrase. I think it is highly unlikely that a dedicated audioph...

Jessie,
A few hints. If you are moving from Parsifal/Encore and LammM1.1 world into the world of SETs and Horn then do not be in hurry to commit yourself and do not create to yourself artificial addictions.
When I talk about artificial addictions I...

In a way you can write some positive / negative about nearly every Design out there. The Micro 5000 & 8000 are 20 years old, they have 2 weak features- a Platter which rings- no suspensionBUT, when we look at their latest units, we can see that M...

[quote user="Thorsten"] I did use the term "crappy" in the connection with the tonearm in an ironic sense. Have you lived so long among US Americans you lost your sense of irony? Also, i do not suggest crappy Phonostages, merely ones with low input c...

Your spiel on the Dynavector arm ties back to another of your recent posts and it reminds me that few manufacturers of any genre really wind up caring about performance, per se, perhaps because there are so many other things to think about when intro...

[quote user="Paul S"] Speakers: I built a version of Dick Olsher's 3-way Diamond Edition BassZilla (hard to find at www.blackdahlia.com), and I tricked it out considerably from his mule. Bass is BR, 15" Audax P380MR, which is a nice semi-...

I was saying lately something about something at the Thunderstone_Technical_Group and I got an accusation that I “ built … theory around it in three years, leaving in the dust all those audio morons (TM) manufactures and scientists? “ I was thinking ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Perhabs, wlowes. Might I ask you: when you refer to “sonic improvements”, “brought more life to the music”, deep quiet background and etc then what do you mean? What I am trying to say is that your rational might be logica...

There is large army of people who dedicate quite a lot of efforts in audio for “voicing” audio components, believing that different passive elements of electric circuit, cables, directivity of cables and many other things are “gravely important”.&nbs...

[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...

A lot of people ask me about those drivers and I’ll try to compile my vision about them. I did try most of the possible tweeters: dome tweeters with cloth cones, varies type of hard metal domes, compression drivers with aluminum, titanium, phenolic a...

Again, I do not agree with all notion of Rubber sound that Haralanov seeded. I can not speak what was in the situation that “be” described and 400Hz crossover. I do have the 8” version of 25W driver (I think it is 21W) and my feeling that it sou...

[quote user="haralanov"] You haven’t heard any important difference because you haven’t tried what I illustrated on the picture above. [/quote] Nope I did not as I do not feel that this type of experiment is even necessary. However, what I was carin...

[quote user="Antonio J."] But having some ideas of the sonic attributes that accomplish that "feeling" would be very helpful. So you couldn't help that someone listening to such a system wanted to build a clone of it. [/quote]I do not think it is pos...

First off, I forgot to mention an interesting observation: Before running the sweeps (previous post), since the drivers in the upper-bass horns are new, I decided to verify/optimize rear chamber volume (they are easily adjustable)... I wasn't expecti...

Ok, since you people stop to drop the euphoric saliva around the Goto subject I think it would be worth to outline my interest in Goto. Not only worth but I kind of feel an obligation. I feel that my site surprisingly has become a resource that ...

Anyhow, it is interesting how the new 25 users that get those Studio 8M will use them. I wish something “new” would derive from all of it…[/quote]Speaking only for myself, I am planning to use the Fane 8M in a pair of 11...

While I feel like the layout of an orchestra is a sort of sacred thing, I will never the less put forth the following question :
Is the layout of an orchestra time aligned?
Whenever I attend a performance where classical music is played by an orc...
