Indeed, the more you try for with hi-fi the further open you crack Pandora's Box.Actually, I think that "good" injection is way down the road for most site visitors, given that they want real improvement as opposed to a big change.The basic ideas of ...

Your audiophile buddies must be deaf stitch, the Cessaro room was easily the best at the show, although to be fair there wasn't much competition, Magico sounded as if the sound was being pushed into the speakers, YG wasn't bad, their sealed aluminiu...

It may be that the souind we want from the old radio is non-aggressive and capable of tenderly re-stirring the sense of things as they "were", which is to say, as we "remember" them. The radio is a tuner, an amp and a speaker or speakers, so it oug...

Dear Romy,My speakers are semi active-I can turn of above 250 Hz- Do you think it's possible to just turn on bass, position them according to compression?Then fine tune by playing full range?Best regards, Armen...

I am not "working backwards" from a tweeter. I presently use Harbeth M40.1s, but having recently heard the Living Voice Vox Olympian and an Audio Tekne horn implementation of Ale Acoustics drivers, the experiences opened up new vistas of what is poss...

I did a search on "best sounding version of itunes" and found the following :Posted 02-23-2009 on the AudiogoN forum - Ehider wrote :"...there have been slight variations in the sound of iTunes. Some of the updates (but not all by any means) actually...

You are correct about misuse of the SETs in my experience, I suppose, because I have only started with an SET amp as a pivot on one occasion, but then I wound up loving the speakers more than the amp that couldn't drive them. But I have he...

[quote user="Bill"]Sorry for this long rant but I feel a rebuttal is necessary.1. Back in the 90's you had 480 I video and 16/44 or dolby 2.1 analog audio. Then the sound was crap as was the video so you could get away with a crappy setup. Now we hav...

Speaking for myself, I went big hoping to power my speakers FR with 1 amp per channel. I did this partly because I wanted to keep it simple, and partly because I did not really think it through before I got that far. At this point, while I am n...

I heard back from Lamms about the relay pulses. They suggested I bias the amps again and then Lamms went silent when that didn't work. But the problem disappeared when I got around to replacing the 12AX7s that came with the amps.&nbs...

MSA, you know I am doubtful of Romy's design, but still I have to ask if are you saying you can put your fingers on the plywood of a stock A7 bin and not feel it vibrate during play? Also, whether I crossed mine at 500 Hz or 800 Hz, I could "hear th...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I don´t know whether you are familiar to Stig Carlsson´s speakers. The result achieved with Carlsson speakers is a stunning spacial realism when fed with true stereo recordings. With synthetic reverb recordings the sound just stic...

Merlin, early in the thread you seemed to be enjoying your position as the only person who knew what the hell you were talking about, and not much has changed since. Are you trying to share what you know or hold fast to some pre-conce...

Curious to know if this guy nails just the pitch, timbre and attack, or maybe it also does dynamics?I have run across a few car speakers that are simply astounding in a narrow range, provided the going does not get too tough.Bob Fulton (RIP) found on...

Just a lazy-ass type question, really, motivated by nothing more than curiosity.Today, since it's "time to change the V2", and also out of curiosity, I will break in some "vintage" 6C33Cs.To tell the truth, any logistical "issues" with ML2s actually ...

I lost all hope for horn loaded Lowther speakers . Got Phile Mikey (fremmer) recommended TT and new old MC cartrige (benz Mc3) so analong front sounds comparable to old modded MCintosh CD player I have. I finished (took al ong time ) Hagerman c...

Lots has been written already about tube replacement, but I want to mention my recent experience when replacing the 6C33C output tubes (V2). I had the previous tubes in for only about 1 year; in this case I estimate about 300 hours, althou...

As it happens, the K&K uses a similar-but-different version of this, with the gain halves divided to sandwich the Loesch-style network.If I am not mistaken, a couple of the "classic" microphones also "split" twin triodes for stereo. In...

I suppose I have "learned a lot about drivers" and speakers over the years, but age has overtaken my production capabilities, and I am selling my stash of drivers. Included for sale is the Holy Grail of lower mid-range drivers, a particular variant o...

Maybe you could find the time to visit Living Voice studio and listen to yacht horn speakers with Pinokio nose and report your impressions ? Personally I'd skip all that and go to orchestra halls and listen to some life music. Peter Walker once sa...

It's all about Program, right? What are you mostly watching/listening to? Make it easy on yourself. Look at the Marantz stuff, and do not expect top 2-channel sound quality. Surely, there is comfortable spot between slavish acceptance of inferior ...

To follow up on Romy's latest broadcast on his visit to my house.My left and right speakers consist of Jl Audio 113 revision 2 subs to 70 Hz., Edgar 50 Hz. 6 foot Straight horns with two 12 inch electravoice drivers each to 500 Hz, Edgar round mid ho...

Romy, do not forget Miab's valuable information about what happens in "unconditioned" spaces and how this relates to stuff that does not like condensate, extreme temperatures or temperature swings.I keep my amps in full view near the speakers for 2 r...

It sounds like a lot of the circling has to do with which 2A3 "sounds better", outright. In any case, I'm guessing everyone would agree that it is specious to argue about which 2A3 sounds most like some internally-estab...
