The “Enjoy His Music” published the old celebrated by many DIYers Herb Reichert’s article about his 300B amp ideas.

I read it before but reading it now, after a few years again...

it seems the computer audio problem is not bit errors and even correct bit-perfect digital data (from computer) does not give us good sound.

Dear Romy,The tracks are correctly listed.Yes, the tracks are varied and some are not good recordings at all. BUT if you want to listen to Billy Bean play guitar or you want to hear Louis Stewart's first recording as an 18 year old then you hav...

Hm, some very mysterious things are going on today similar to the observance of the Bethlehem star… :-)
I was commenting before that Lavry 924 is very slightly brighter then I feel a neutral peace of equipment should be. Once again it is not HF disg...

Reggie, let to be clear that I use definition of kitsch in reference to audio installation. The Camerata as a cultural event is out of my criticism; in fact I applauded to what they did. The Camerata video did not bring me to the idea of perceivi...

[quote user="hagtech"] I did bandwidth measurements at 1W. …. I should plot both 1W and 6W bandwidth responses. [/quote]
I always feel strangely disturbed when I see people specify SET response from 2Hz to 150kHz. Here is a practice out ...

[quote user="SearcherOfBetterSound"]Why is Acoustic Solid so interesting to me? Well, it should be to most when you read stuff like a $1,600 Black Wood Classic model can beat out a $5,500 Super Scoutmaster model from VPI, and a $4,000 ...

There was a good article about this very subject in 2004. You have to pay to use the NYT's archives, but one of Michael Green's disciples quoted it on their website, and they didn't get sued for copyright, so I guess it is OK to post it here:

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I bought the ML2s to use as a development/reference tool while constructing this horn system. The idea being that I would first use them to dial in the horns, and later as a reference, to which I would compare and evolve ...

I think 8-8-1 will be very good configuration all together.
Make sure it stays sufficiently far from back wall. Point the axis toward to your shoulder and I think it would
be fine setting. Turn off tweeters and Fundamentals channel and set right

RE Peralmusic soundfilesThis is something that a Jacob Ganz wrote for NPR (my underlining):"I spoke again with Bob Ludwig, the mastering engineer quoted in the
story, who has submitted "Mastered for iTunes" tracks to Apple. He says

Paul McGowan, the head of PS Audio send his newsletter with his comments about SACD. The comments are childish and in many way absolutely ignorant. I hate what the industry professionals twist the facts and go into pure falsification in order to ...

I started in hi-fi with LPs and I have never stopped using them as my principal source for hi-fi. Some time ago I decided that master tape was better than vinyl, but I could not afford to go that route; so I settled on the next best thing: a cartrid...

Alex,
I am sorry, I know very little about Benz cartridges but I was wondering what heck you do for living that you are able 6 hours a day spin records while you in the office. Are you getting paid for listening and changing the records? Or ar...

Robert,Many thanks for the clear exposition of the technicalities to consider in making what is on the face of it such a simple choice. I however disagree that the points being considered here, as both you and Romy seem to suggest, only ought to be c...

With Ming permission I post a fragment of his emails where he describes his midbass horn. It appears that he uses cone-drivers with ltooooooo ow Fz in non-compression application with no back chamber. Now it is obvious where he is losing his midbass ...

This is an interesting subject that fascinates me recently. I have
a listening room with pretty good playback custom-build for it. All together it
produces a fine result and perfectly complies with general objectives of
high-end audio. For a last ...

That all interesting though but the problem is that they have no way to be absolute valid. Yes, we as a humans, have a lot of masking effect build in us that prevents up to get complexity and color of sound with dynamic range rises. Yes we do in many...

The Rockports have a very light platter and a carbon Arm....the one I listened to was the latest, it had simply no Bass reproduction, nada, nothing and the Arm resonances are also inferior to any energy transfer from any cartridge. The lead wires are...

[quote user="jam"]I would agree that the RX-5000 has some advantage to the SX-8000 and I put the differences down to mainly the air bearing and construction of the platter which will cause softness and a lack of focus (some people may like this). T...

Yes, I saw that a week or two ago and was repulsed not so much by the price (which is extortionate) as the implication that recording in this fashion will give superior results to using the best digital techniques availabl...

A few comments. I think the region that impressed you was somewhere 50Hz-500Hz, the melody range with all those fundamentals. It might appear that it was in the lower end but I think it still was the fundamentals with first overtones. Since you c...

The Targeted Audio Listening has nothing to do with general music listening and it is just an ingredient of a very narrow audio evolutions. It might be as stupid as just brainless acknowledgment of individual sound or as complex as assessment of...

I think my new room and new midbass horn will give me an opportunity to play at the NEW LEVEL with a notion that I have been chasing for years. I am taking about perceptual shrinking of frequency response. I need to admit that most of the ugliest...

I recently dealt with two manufactures that produce music . I noted that both of them stated with good result but nowadays, years in operation, they produce despicable crap. This correlates with a famous amplifier manufacturer, very much not stup...
