[quote user="jtavan"] I would be interested to hear your reaction to the same CD ripped properly on a CD-ROM drive rather than recorded from SPDIF stream. If your transport is VERY good, they should be equivalent... but on damaged discs, or with bad ...

I figured out that my site turned out to be a quite good source for “PurePower’s Survival Guide”. It would be nice to abstract the PurePower into a separate subject but it is too much intervened with the thread of “Bad Electricity” that I decided to ...

[quote user="anthony"]Romy, what do you
see as the benefits of having your gear between the speakers...because I can
see none? The last thing that I would want to look at is all the
electronics plus there are the reflection issues of the gear in ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] A few years back I wrote somewhere that I “developed” a semi-mathematical formula according to which an acoustic system’s result might be absolutely objectively weighed up. I did not go very far with advisement of this eq...

... or wondering if it has any new insight into horn design.I did not read the book but I find funny that person who presumably do not “believe” in horn write a review about the presumably horn related book. It would be similar to ask a blind person ...

I think this post need to have an epigrapher:
“We knew what we wanted to hear, and so we developped, and developped, and developped... In hundreds of small and bigger steps. Over thirty years. Till we were "there" where we always wanted ...

[quote user="manisandher"] For the past few months, I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem – how to recreate through speakers the same sound that I get through headphones. [/quote]I very much applaud to the desire to have speakers that do ...

Yes, I promised to tell about, so here is comes.
The past Sunday I woke up at 6AM and first intention to answer to myself what is wrong with my ULF. I had wonderful sound with absolutely wonderful and the most important very proper bass. Howe...

Interesting. It has always been my experience (as reported here already) that as outstanding the PurePower is at improving sound, it still is sensitive to input AC. This is contrary to what the product description would have you believe (the ProP...

I think I need to make some commentary in here as BS will be swallowed as usually and somebody shall take stand on it. Before is a small prelude. Sometimes back in his comments about RMAF 2010 Show Report the Federated Mike wrote in his blog:

Adrian, I do not think that it is "excuse sell
equipment". I have been straggling with it for a while. I do not "need" to sell it and I do appreciate
this given equipment much more then the money that I would get for it. I do not
need the money b...

Marc Mickelson published his new infomercial

but as former Lamm product user I naturally keep looking what Lamm does. http://www.theaudiobeat.com/equipment/lamm_lp1_signature.htm

After years of using the Expressive Technologies SU-1 and SU-2 step up transformers I come across to a fact this morning that the Expressive was reviewed by Robert Harley in June, 1992. I read the Expressive’s preamp review but I never seen this one....

Jeremy, another few lead that I think might conceder.
Manly Labs has their 20-bit digital to analogue converter that uses the Pacific Microsonics processor inside. I was told that is available as the “street price” for ~$6K-$7K and it might be a “f...

We are closing our new house in 2 weeks and while packing

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

I probably never get tired to mention the stupidity of the folks
who write for Audio publications. This time my hero is Marshall Nack of positive-feedback.
The hero just published a review about the Lamm updated preamp L2:

My understanding of Romy's point is that in addition to the designer's perception of what sound shall be, and marketing whore's mischief, we consumers share some of the burden of responsibility for the buying choices presented to us.

Richard,
what a boat load of crap from you, claiming to be 'facts'
I did not withhold anything from you. If you had been such an expert as you claim to be, and have had such experienc...

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

I like to stress a point that the mammals that write thier doodles for audio publication are not juts ignorant fools but also the cheap, low class, falseificators. No wonder that the audio manufacturing companies do employ the so-called reviewers as ...
