Linked is a brief article that categorizes the the portable audio player options available Q4 2013 as clearly and succulently as any I have seen. It also includes some portable dac/amp combos for your mobile phone. Of course, DSD is a hot buzzword re...

Well, I'll stick my neck out and tell you what I think. I would say that it sounds right now that you have a kind of undefined idea of how you understand the sounds of audio reproduction. Sort of on the level that you know that you like s...

I think conceptually it would be great if everything were streamed even at CD levels. For 90% or more of listeners that would be an improvement. Given the wide scale manipulations in the remasterings being done by the iphone listening staff at the re...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If I position Macondo across the room then I would have
great benefit that the equipment rock can go between the speakers with multiple
benefits of this setting. Romy[/quote]Romy, what do you see as the benefits of having...

The demonstration of the WE equipment was impressive as was looking closely at how these horns were constructed. The arrangement (originally it would have been mono) was to provide the audience seated both in the stalls or circle with an evenly bala...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]Putting the Pure Power in the basement might be fine, but I don't think you need to banish the Melqs down there, at least not yet.You don't know yet if there will be kids, and if so it will still be a couple years before one a...

"Architectual" (man-made) joists have some decided advantages over natural lumber, including excellent unit-to-unit consistency. Most residential "TJI" joists (as opposed to beams) are made straight and installed without an initial "crown" (manu...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, what the concussion is. It is known that PP2000, as any switching devise, inject a lot of noise into power line from where it sources power. Apparently the PP2000 own filtration can’t handle the noise from the second PP...

Hi Romy,I see now you are throwing around the term "absolute tone" in a relative manner again :) . Why would you want to neutralize absolute tone and with a metal tweeter no less!! You are talking about a tweeter "absolute tone" offsetting a po...

It was an interesting event today. I have a big air compressor home that got broken, so I borrowed a portable electric compressor from my neighbor. I plug it in outside the house and blew up the irrigation system, preparing it for winter. Then I bro...

I would say that this is not an answer to the question. It does not really matter what the problem was with the PP2000+ unit in question. This is an irrelevant conclusion that seeks to divert attention from the primary issue. What is important is the...

Very good point - I will direct Martin's attention to this. Visually, it looks like he did an excellent job on the 340 Hz horns, and the 160Hz horns will be rolled off at 1k anyway but nonetheless, will see what he reckons. Actually, no need - I just...

I came across a mystery today that I have absolutely no explanation.
Like many others I like the Brahms #4 symphony. I have my favorite: my beloved Barbirolli with Vienna during the Musikvereinssaal 1967 . I also a big admirer of Carlo Maria G...

It's my system that Romy discussed above. I've been fighting electricity problems for 25 years using everything from home generators to multiple 3 KV isolation transformers in series with banks of caps, to multi mega-buck high end audio products to l...

I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may be worth investigati...

Feeling less depressed this am. After returning from Romy's and coming down from the high produced by his sound, I made the mistake of turning on my system, which had sounded great the night before. Within less than a half hour I turned it off and we...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I was playing more with precision of my MF channel and I became convinced that I should not do it anymore and I should get better interfaces between the frame and the MF horn. So, I have decided to get a positioning table. ...

After a few hours of conversation with Dima and discussing the Avicenna’s details I put the preorder transformers together and light up the Regenerator. I was running it to different modes testing the operation and measuring the results in bypa...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The appendix in the corner of my room (I think it called rotunda) is very cool thing – it is where all my equipment lives – superbly comfortable and I can’t dream for better layout of my listening room. I am not kidding. Ho...

Surely one of the objectives of this site is to allow people to be guided towards good sound by discussing the issues involved in getting there. Whether that entails discussing the merits of different recordings or performances or whether it entails ...

What I have is a subwoofer made by ACI; no information on the amplifier used other than it uses a two prong power cord, no ground. When I hooked it up to the APS 2000 I got a very loud pitched hum. Taking if off the 2000 and plugging it into a...

Haralanov, I've spun this thread off the "Speakers for a Powerful SET" thread, as you suggested. I took a couple of pictures, but I can't figure out how to upload them, just yet. I'm also not sure what you could see from the outside, anyway.As for th...

A couple of nights ago WFMT re-broadcast a concert I had attended some weeks earlier. It was the Emerson SQ performing in the lovely Martin Theater at Ravinia. On the program were the last quartets by Haydn, Bartok and Schubert. I sat about 20 row...

When posted my post above I was bitching that that contemporary issued LPs are garbage and was accusing the Morons who make. However, there is a twist in those accusations. The senseless idiots who produces the horribly sounding modern surrogates are...

Last night I have an interesting “event”. I accidently unplugged the PP from power line and did not know about it. In a couple hours I realized that the lights on my equipment that all time on are off. So, the PP buttery was drained out. Interest...

Hi everyone,It is quite ironic that the day I hear from Fane telling me that the Fane 8Ms are finally ready, I should receive this update from my horn maker maestro. Russ Collinson of Layers of Beauty. Russ, if you ever read this here, please take a ...

I have no idea what that all about but it is nice to know that my taxes goes for somebody building horns. "The Reverberant Acoustic Test Facilit (RATF) chamber is located within the Vibroacoustic Highbay, taking advantage of the 1.8 m (6 ft) thick su...

I will address the low voltage DAC power supply first since it has multiple applications.The front end comprises a commercial 48/12 volt 20 watt dc/dc converter. This basically is used to provide 1000 volt isolation input to output otherwise you...

Any Google hits this site gets from my post is a gift from me to The Home of the Cat. Can't imagine anybody searching "Silbatone & Penderecki"..a rather odd combination of terms stemming out of a unique event.
Or how about "Silbatone &...
