Recently I was playing with my horns, running with across my room, trying to hit with them my Cat…. When I settled down at the place when I need them to be I one more time faced a problem of cables. Whoever use multi-channel systems and do milliampin...

JP, that are funny settings. You source the clock from AES line but do lock it. I do not know at what rate you record but you’re A/D looks like output 88K, you card read 44K and it is not locked – a complete mess. Call ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Do not get me wrong, I do like the BSO files sound but I also admit that it is not as good as it might be. The Cat[/quote]The 88.2/24 files are HDCD... according to my DAC!Mani...

Miab, This sound like a good news but what kind streaming is it? Do I need to use any special stream consumer to get it? I was looking in your link and I was not able to find any 16bit/48Khz feed. The tendency is great however if it was true. If they...

Stitch, narrative is very interesting. I never had new Meitner’s DACs. I hear it countless time and each time it was very bad sound but it was always was in context of other brainless people sound and I do not know if ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The Brits Pristine “eventually” heard my call. A few years back I begged them to sell the raw 24-bit masters bit not the 16/44 releases, as the down conversion below 20 bit kills too much of sound. It looks like nowadays th...

Keith, search the - site there are plenty information about interface I use between DACs and my digital sources. Still, what I do with my digital and how frustrated you with digital are is absolutely irrelevant in context of the given thread. This th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Even if it is possible with a given (multichannel, faulty design) loudspeaker then the DPLOS become very fragile and appears/appears too sudden, without a gradual improvement while approaching the DPLOS. The keys are phase...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Mr. Boyk is rather audio–anomaly among typical musicians.[/quote]
Well, I have to agree with this. I guess you do not publish an article of some point of view that is very obvious to everyone.[quote user="Romy the ...

Imaging is a property of listening perception. The soundstage is a property of sound reproduction. Let me be a cryptic here and would give not the answer but a lead to the answer. Do you familiar with Home Theaters? It is absolutely imposable t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I play a lot of LP recently and last night I noted that sound was quite bad. It was like a bad electricity day only atop of it sound has some kind of odd digitalization atop of everything. Of course I was blaming the PurePo...

Yesterday I was listening an broadcast from Netherlands over FM with Mariss Jansons leading Concertgebouw and Netherlands Radio Choir with Mahler’s Resurrection. The play was horrible, starting from playing of Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and ending...

[quote user="JANDL100"]Oh, and the sound is surprisingly good! 1953 and 56 mono.[/quote] Jerry, unfortunately you heard “wrong” Gieseking. The real Gieseking is the Gieseking before the WW2, in 20s and 30s. After the war the Gieseking’s play changed ...

I like them and use the quite extensively. As the comparing result between the headphones and the loudspeakers…. they are different. The best speakers sound-wide would do a similar result to what the headphones can do but the loudspeakers but will ha...

Paul, I am not sure what VTA and anything else has to do with phonostage. The VTA is not a characteristic of Sound but a property of a given cartridge. Sine I it set and the VTF is not changed I do not change VTA. I do not use VTA to change sound, I ...

[quote user="Crow"]The sound changed.[/quote]I do not think that sound changed. Those speakers have most likely MF compression driver with horn. When the camera shot from the back of the speaker the sound does not change. I mean is changes slightly n...

I recorded the whole thing, including the Procofiev’s concerto and the Bartók ballet. The sound of the orchestra was interestingly changing as I fell that they change the “tuning” after the intermission. The Bartók: “The Miraculous Mandarin” was very...
