[quote user="drdna"]So perhaps audio can be a door to exploring spirituality?[/quote]
Of course it is but what it has to do with happiness? Exploring spirituality is about exploring the relationship between own reflections and own perception. ...

[quote user="drdna"] In my mind it is fairly straightforward: stereo = two channels. Two channels = two point sources. Of course this is only one possibility. However, critical to what I am saying is converse to your statement: instead I feel there c...

[quote user="drdna"] When I had a record with a stain on the vinyl NOTHING else would touch, he sent me some "special cleaning mixture" that took it right off and the record played like new. [/quote]
Not about the Iraq oil but about the minute reiss...

[quote user="drdna"] I am actually very surprised to hear you say this. I have stated before my thoughts on a preference in listening for additive or subtractive errors, based on how different people's brains process the information. [/quote]

[quote user="drdna"]Easier to make might be a device like a record clamp you can attach to an existing turntable platter. It should be easy to do the experiment by trying a weight on the turntable platter: 1. a solid weight 2. an equal weight contain...

Well, I did not mean to express any specific attitude to Bottlehead people - the only experience I had to them was a few years ago visiting their meeting right here in Boston (I did not know what Bottlehead wa all about at that time). The meeting was...

[quote user="drdna"]The interesting thing about the Bottlehead people is that they are pretty good guys. "High and outside" is I think Paul Stubbelbine, who is an expert at mastering. He remastered my girlfriend's last album. I was very i...
|
|
[quote user="drdna"] Oh, I see you are absolutely correct. I am very puzzled. As it says on the website, the mastering studios relocated to a new location. Maybe there was no room for the old set-up. I was only in the old studio a few years ago. I sw...

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:

[quote user="drdna"] It sounds as if you are are relating neutrality to music in a roughly analogous way that people use the term transparency in relation to sound. In my mind a system can be transparent without being neutral, however, as trans...

drdna,
I had written the key in a previous post but the wesite isn't mac friendly.
I have attached it as an image file.

[quote user="drdna"]While I think a resonating speaker can add its own musicality to a reproduction, it is clearly adding harmonic distortion, etc. It may be pleasant, but you run the risk of needing differently tuned speakers for each type of ...

[quote user="drdna"]
Well, I experienced the same exact phenomena with using different 2A3 tubes as you remember, which I do believe has to do with the mechanical harmonics in part.[/quote]
I do not remember that, it you wrote it then I mo...

[quote user="drdna"]…AND since the exact frequencies affected by HF loss of the Finalizer and the frequencies covered by the tweeter adjustment are not likely to be exactly the same, then when the tweeter is adjusted to correct the HF loss frequencie...
|
|
[quote user="drdna"] So you do not recommend the stock tubes? Is it a specific change you recommend?[/quote]
Better tubes will certainly give you better sound, in many cases more sophisticated sound. I do not know what tubes EAR uses as stock tubes ...

I just put a few lines of code together with the interface for the “Index of Components”. Let see where it goes. I did not test it well but it shell be stable. Feel free ...

[quote user="drdna"] Exactly. Thus, it suggests a ground loop internal to the PP2000, doesn't it? [/quote]
In my view it is highly unlikely as a definition of loop itself implies two contacts to ground and PP2000 has only one. I do not think t...

[quote user="drdna"]I have never been able to do this. I still cannot do this. Is anyone except Romy able to do this? [/quote]
Well, this becomes to be a mystery. Currently the site is configured that nay poster can edit own post for 2 hours s...

[quote user="drdna"]I wondered if Romy or anyone else has toyed with Sakuma's very interesting topological solutions. I have followed this for a number of years but my circuit building skills are so poor I figured I would likely blow something ...

[quote user="drdna"]Berning is a genius to be sure. Here he fixed his sights on the "evil" output transformer. Every part of the circuit alters the sound somehow, of course, and the goal is to find the least damaging topology. The q...

[quote user="drdna"]Remember I am not systematically anti-battery. I am anti-"pro-battery" which is to say I do not view it or anything else as a panacea. Each electrical device accomplishes a goal and degrades sound. The goal is to work within your ...

[quote user="drdna"] Okay, this is of course an excellent point. Naturally, if the system is optimized to begin with, this type of stuff will not have a beneficial effect. If you have done the experiments before, then you know what to expect from...

So, I am of the opinion that most anyone can hear the differences. We just don't understand the physics of why it makes a difference. Just make sure you do it in a double blinded fashion, and be ready to accept that some...
