Romy,
I don't know if you have seen this effort by a gentleman in Greece. As I said, I'm not really a fan of the high mass approach. (I've listened to a few but generally find them tonally unbalanced) This design seems to take that approach qui...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yes, it was not “allergy” but already, the benefit of the automated check speller but it is not the point. It is not about lofty standards. This web site is not about offering help or imposing help. I do not mind to help pe...

I spent today a couple hours trying to resolve a quantity with my analog setup. As you remember in the mid of this thread:
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?postID=2015#2015
I was proud that I eventually found a good configuration for my M...

[quote user="Wellington"]Romy, I share your
skepticism of the audio media (ALL media, really.), although maybe with a bit
less “attitude” than you
. Audio reviewers are

[quote user="Paul S"]Of course the idea of "minimal" needs context and a priori determinants, like any idea at all, and I don't see that the Regas belong in this particular discussion, at least at this particular point. OTOH, the Continuum is anothe...

[quote user="Paul Costa"]Aparently the new powersupply for the motor makes it sound even better, but I have not heard it or the three motor. I would like to hear the three motor but really do not have any interest in owning it. Much debat...

Good afternoon Romy! I'm Pat Mattucci, and I'd like to respond to your post.How interesting you would post a response to my humble question to an obscure little group on my birthday, of all days. I'm honored. I also happen to be from the Philadelphia...

Thanks for the link, el`Ol. The original Görlichs, when they still use aluminum layers were very interesting, thought they were soft suspended drivers that is not my cap of tea. BTW, for whatever it worth the Magico new version does not use ADT...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm you are true in the “terra incognita” territory as far as I concern. The preamps are mystery to me. All my attempts to make any decently sounding preamp or even buffer failed. To me Placette was truly God sent and if I g...

[quote user="drdna"]Now fully five years after the original PP2000 was in my system, then subsequently stopped working and was sent back for repairs to the manufacturer. An unfortunate series of events involving the Chinese subcontractor resulted in ...

I don't understand why people are using the flywheel with the same thread coming off the motor to go around both the turntable platter and the flywheel. I also don't get why the flywheel is supposed to be used with a slipping thread at all. To make...

John, a few corrections for start
First of all the gullible and moronic are not interchangeable words and I never use one instead of other. Second Audio Note Ginga does not look like traditional Micro. It has oil suspension and God knows what ...
|

yes I understand your take with regard to those phrase, now what a about "too dull" or "not resolved" or "lack of detail"?Those would then be equally 'incorrect' for initial sound determination. If I use a different cart to my current V15 xMR, sa...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, I took the anti-RIAA signal converted and run CD player into the phonostage. The RIAA curve was fine and the effect of the HF volume and frequency-depended quantization did not expose itself. So, it looks like the p...

John Sheerin? I have come across what this character does on-line. I am not familiar with him personally but I am NOT a big fun of what he does. He moves his hands in space and sometimes as the resume of his hands moment some horn are built up. H...

Thanks, Gorge, I know this one. It is $250, measured only up to 2T and has a probe that is too large to be useful.
The company that I really like is http://www.gaussmeter.co.uk/index.shtml. Their gaussmeters have range up to 3T and thei...

[quote user="drdna"] The first key would be
that the digital reproduction be of a high enough sample rate to fall
below the threshold of perception. The scond would be, in my mind, that
the process of reproduction not create a new structure, but r...

This might be a good time to chime in to report that I removed the PP from my system a few weeks ago. I had suspected for a long time that the PP was injecting noise into the system and wanted to remove it to test its effect (or lack thereof in t...

Ok, it took 2.5 hours to mount the transformers and chokes. The transformers above are filament transformer and high voltage transformer. (The super Melq has all high voltages coils as separate transformers). The 3 chokes above are input chokes for f...

This evening I took myself to performing additional tests with the entire system completely disconnected from utility ground. Following Romy's considerations about different grounds, and Richard's absolute belief in the capacity of a properly working...

I have posted about some of my recent experience with longer "naked" HF ribbons in Romy's "Water Drop" thread. Here are some observations that relate these drivers back to the ML2s, along with some other recent ML2 trivia.My speakers are listed...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, that is funny that you are stressing my SX8000 or even mention it, if you ever invest the effort to read the site, or at least the thread then you would understand how out of context your manner. The AF1/Micro is kin...

Hi Romy,I miss-understood. I did not realize you were able to play my file in "natural 96K". Since I am not able to play your file in "natural 88.2" I needed to make another recording before I can really compare yours to mine since my CD player ups...

Look at more posts the A’gon there posted a bout and Rauliruegas passed his observations about Micro Seiki turntables.
