[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I personally more inclined to have “accurate” sound and word accuracy is more implies to a playback accurately and fatefully render the essence of musical events. Pay attention – not accurately play the input signal, not ac...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I don’t have a pair of Melquaid DSETs. I drive the horns with a pair of Lamm ML2s, running full range. I use a second pair of M1.1s for lower bass. The ML2s are hard to fault. In fact at this point, I can only find positi...

I recently spoke with Paul Eizik regarding the criticality of the open-air mounting of that driver instead of baffle-mounting. I decided to go extreme and to get rid of that plate that I had under the driver no mater now small it was, also I thought ...

[quote user="rogier"]It could be dirt (dust) in the aircaps..[/quote]Hm, a good point, I never consider how dust in aircaps might sound. I presume that it will be no difference as dialectic is air anyhow, it is beside the point that there. Still, the...

Hm, this is what I am playing how: the new 18-cell and S3. I run it from a full time Milq and use it with no filter of any kid. Rony is right the depth effect is there, it is not even depth but rather multi-dimensionality. Indeed very pleasant feelin...

Dear Romy,
A. Recordings of different quality are worthwhile. Let's take three examples:
1) A stereo recording that you feel is as good as it gets.2) A mono recording of a beautiful piece of music that is well played.3) A stereo re...

Anthony and Romy, thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. I want to take on this project as a learning experience both in terms of simply building an amplifier from a schematic and for my edification on sound reproduction.
I’m starti...

Paul-Again the disclaimer - I don't have a schematic nor is the circuit board fully visible, so these are solely my speculations and I could be wrong. 'What is the
MKP's value, and why do you think it's "the" coupler, while the 'Cubes
are else?'I...

The situation reported has been presented unfairly we believe and includes completely false information regarding PurePower. We were working to solve a problem with a PurePower installation in California for over a year providing three replacemen...

What the most intriguing me in the new room is where the LF
will roll off. It would be wonderful of LF will run all the way down I was in
my Boston listening room but I see very little chance of it. Most likely it
will be a shortage of gain or pow...

I hope you don't mind me writing directly to you. I've been posting on Romy the

Okay so I got the NOS Sylvania "Spring Top" dual filament 2A3 tubes and have been listening to them for a while, now I am ready to make a report on the tube.
The tube is well built and structurally sound. Tapping gives a very small "tabla" sound ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Dose the midbass horns semi-mono location has an impact to the “width” of playback. Yes it dose and I did clerlay expressed it in posts what I played with idea of width modulation channels. [/quote]Romy, I think that I...

Hi,
Last week I briefly compared my 47 non-oversampling DAC ("low performance" TDA1543), an original Teac player also used as transport (AD1862N-J ?) and a modified Akai (PCM63P or PCM56P ?). This comparison wasn't done with my single driver speaker...
|
Romy,I half expected some kind of whipping from you which I fully welcome. I am guessing some of it is to see if I buckle and get all weepy under a critical look at my statements but hopefully you are just trying to possibly get me to clarify my obje...
|
Yes, I have paid attention to the ridicules noise specification. - 147dB is ever higher then 24bit dynamic range – good luck with those numbers in tube phonostage! They use 'A' weighted measurement that is not kosher from my perspective and juts...

I think this subject should be collected in its own thread. It is interesting that both Romy and I have just got the Behringer DEQ 2496 to try in our systems, so hopefully there will be some data to report here.
It was previously said that the DE...

[quote user="N-set"]Anthony, I'm sure you realize that air springs and bearings can only isolate from the structure born vibrations. Placing the tubes so close to the speakers you give them a great chance to catch strong airborne vibrations. Or will ...

Dear Romy and all,
I’ve been lurking here for a few months and - after a sceptical start! - I have found this site an Invaluable Help. Many many thanks to Romy and all involved. My system is now starting to sing and make nice noises for the first ti...

"Bugger dogma!". Romy is quite right challenging my obeisance to the Series 1. These things are so rare and when found are likely to be in a somewhat less than pristine condition.
However, it is not only the arm tube that is more massive but the ...

Yep, I'm kind of growing on this cartridge and now I really like it. It has very pleasant tonal colors (yes, I would still call it colorations) and it has very appealing “dynamic viscosity”. All together it make it very musical. Probably my initial r...

If you read the post:

then you know that I am happily employ an interesting 65dB-gain, 7788-7721 two stages phonocorrector designed and build with air capacitors. A few days ago when I eventu...

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 ...

I do not mean to be negative and criticize Romy, but he is wrong on surround sound. It is the implementation and not the concept which should cause vomiting, like with the vast majority of two track recording which are unlistenable. With the rig...

Here are some my ideas for an “Unlimited Turntable”. Feel free to share some of your ideas… An “Unlimited Turntable” should allow multiple arms. It should be a good quality arm with a good stereo cartridge…. Also, it should be a good quality arm with...
