*** I've received and read most of February issue of Stereophile. They review the last M1.2 Reference amplifier and the comments from the reviewer are more about how the music can flow and show as a unique event, with the kind of interaction with the...

[quote user="oxric"] I have spent hours coming up with all sorts of weird and wonderful, but at other times too rigid systems to support the various components comprising what I modestly choose to call Le Horn (AKA Rakeshorns). I have more or les...

I have to admit that the live Zander’s Bruckner Fifth from the end of 2007 made me to re-think how I would like Macondo to sound. It is not that I recognized new Macondo’s “Hi-Fi problems”, whatever it has I am very comfortable with it, but I rather ...

rouwk our discuss was about my audio judgment and my music background and my audio philosophy, you told musicians know the sound better than audiophiles and they listen to sound in musical level and you told audiophiles care about artifact sound. 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 ...

The Weiss AFI1 interface is measuring the following clock rates (in KHz) from the Model Two:
- 44.122- 88.244- 176.488
AND
- 48.000- 96.000- 192.000
Does this imply that the 48x clock is more accurate th...

Got converted my Midbass to run from Injection Chanel Milq, the full-range one. The reference
level to drive Midbass is set at -8dB Melquiades Chanel C, so gain and power is not a problem,
so I need ~ extra 6 dB to attenuate the signal for the Inje...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering.[/quote]Well, digital X-Overs would appear to o...

Anthony , having a room slightly bigger than your and
the rest the same I feel that 3V I get from my frond end is just barely enough.

wide dynamic range (Pop Music’s Go...

Well, you can’t use Gogol Suite as some kind of reference in term of gain. The Gogol Suite was record by Pope Music at very high dynamic range they have very little compression. It feels like very soft volume recording as a result.

[quote user="KOTriode"] With 6C33C output run at 40W plate dissipation, this amp run much hotter than an 845 amp with output tube running at 100W. I measured the hottest point on the bulb and it is about 380F. I guess the due to short bottle , t...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Well I assume you mean the "pros". After this weekend at the Paris Hifi show (first one ever for me), I cannot say that I place much value in what the "pros" might think.
Man, honestly, what crap sound in most every room...

Paul, what I am saying has nothing
to do with your Troels project but rather a psychological exercise to understand
what truly is going on. Also, I very much not knocking at your door with my
mental approach to audio objective am trying to demonst...

[quote user="darkmoebius"] That's because "off the shelf" amps can be easily resold for little or no loss of money if they are not to the buyer's liking. The Melquiades, on the other hand, leaves the builder with $3,000 worth of parts not easily reso...

Marc Mickelson always was one of the heroes of audio propaganda – he always was able to load a maximum cargo of “strategic information” to the readers without being insulting to anyone and without too obvious demonstration of his real intentions. I r...

user="mats"]I’d like to pick up on one thing the visitor noted.
He said Macondo was able to “dissect” the most “complex and
dramatic” Bruckner.
To me, this is a stunning achievement. In my humble attempts
at resolving the most

In the thread: “The industry-embraced audio and classical music” Stitch made a post that implied that the industry-sponsored indifferent sound is more attracted to the people who has a lot of money. I do not know how accurate that observation but...

The Jean-Michel Le Cléac'h’s horns or as I call them La-Horns get a lot of popularity among people who are trying to build horns loaded systems. But as anything else in audio the Morons hear any noise and they has no idea how to associate the noi...

[quote user="Gregm"] No-one is criticising the ML3 (amplification) product. We are discussing the concept and the applicability of such products, i.e. the ultimate limitation of an amplifier called upon to work from DC to daylight and, accordingly, d...

Well, whatever you do with your loudspeakers of with you whole playback system is kind of irrelevant if your drivers are not right. In my view the drivers are the very much heart of playback but in case of High-Efficiency and particularly horn-loaded...

[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...

Again, I have advocated this subject again
and again. Streaming is not a second-class source. It is all depends of what
you are streaming. If you stream a source of unknown origin (which is 99.9% of
the files that you do now own) then it is wi...
