Today is the last day of BSO season and the first day what my antenna is up and I might listen the BSO in it’s full glory. The azohen-vey Glory! I was listening the programs today before the live broadcast. It is not that I do not like the sound. The...

[quote user="dazzdax"] Sakuma's idiosyncratic and esoteric way of thinking (he believes for example that tubes have a "soul") is not to everyone's liking. He is projecting his mind into a sort of tone control. At least for him this tone control bring...

Hi Currawong, thanks for sharing your experiences.My own computer playback journey goes back some 9-10 years ago when I started using a MOTU 896HD to interface a PC to my then Esoteric D70 DAC. And in the passing time the one thing I've learned about...

[quote user="Axel"] … you have put one of his quotes under your post, so I guess you do. Despite not being inclined to take much note of anything other then your own 'philosophy', (which is fine), at least in this case you seem to do go with som...

It is shame that in 21 century we have such mediocre, not to say moronic, park of music servers.
Whoever does music servers t know stat a file server with uncompress 24-bit files is a phenomenal source of music. So, why we have not a lot of well-per...

This week Romy was kind enough to invite me over for a few days for some Apprentice work and philosophizing. As I alluded above, my Apprenticeship contribution consisted principally of moving some audio gear, searching for some esoteric stuff hidden ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]However, in audio the coordinate system is not geometry but hearing and human hearing is not equally-dimensional. Humans, juts because the position of ears on heard have much higher sensitivity to horizontal sound source he...

OK, I have the Altec 19 delivered in my second un-useful living room. I plan to do nothing with them now and will play with them sometime on winter or if somebody will come with pre-payment. Altec 19 has one (ONLY ONE) sonic positive quality (bes...

I downloaded your file and burned a DVD-A which includes 176/24 Reference Recordings HrX demo files they once made available.

The question I ask is a bit more loader than what appears at surface. When people who do not know me ask me what I do I say that I involved into (or practice) High End Audio but saying it I feel that myself I have different definition than it com...

and we evaluating the properties are trying to make judgments about sound. I am
taking now strictl...

So in an effort to learn something about the way the 288 and S2 sound the way they do, what do you suppose the mechanical differences in the construction of each driver that causes the differences in sound as they look so similar physically?
