Some kind of nut with name “Richard BassNut Greene” posted at the AA sewers a post:

everything properly then any profile in my room I will be able to make
to have right Sound because I know what and how to listen and I know
how to react upon the heard."I dont. Yet..."with 100Hz Tra...

Let's just pretend for the moment that you haven't heard the particular TAD driver Kevin is using , and consider the possibility that for at least for some portion of its frequency range, it has a tone similar to the S2 - perhaps it uses an alnico ma...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Some find the first generation Playstation (1000er series) great.I tried one with two different power supplies (original and after-market) with totally different sonic results. I think with enough knowledge for tweaking it I would...

[quote user="mem916"]I never tried the Onyx. I had an Urushi, then a Jade, and now a Coralstone. No I didn't buy any of them in the US so I paid a lot less than the crazy retail prices people throw around. I only know one person personally who...

[quote user="tuga"]I agree with both of you: in my opinion this kind of presentation is really very effective on it's target public, but I have a hard time keeping my lunch in even before DW begins his visionary "insights". [/quote]

[quote user="manisandher"]Romy, this is very interesting indeed. I'm assuming that the sonic difference between these two files is in line with the sonic difference you hear between bad and good 'electricity' days when you're just listening to music,...

When I decided to build this amp I know from the start that it will look not as 99% of amps. I do not like when transformers are visible.My wife hate this "mushroms" looks.
When I speaking with Pieter i told him to not poting chokes and trans...

Paull, the horns might be “beautiful” but only themselves. When they are jointed with the rest Macondo spherical chennals then I do not like how it all looks together. Regarding the drivers, I do have a few options, I might slowly exercise them and ...

[quote user="N-set"]BTW, how stable 6E5P is? I'm asking as I was contemplating biasing the output by the voltage drop on 6E5P's plate choke (DCR is say around 1k),with only some minimal autobias on the output. The drawback is that any drift in th...

More days came, with different electricity and it looks l like the PP2011 hold its stand – I did not detect a significant change in Sound so far. I gave a scoop plagued in the wall all time and I did not see so far a relation between the wave profile...

My prize to the most interesting and educational room at the show goes to a room with WAVAC 833 power SETs. Visiting this room made me to think a lot and made me to draw a lot of very valuable to me conclusions.
I heard a lot about those amps. Recen...

Hey, Paul,
long time no see. It is nice that you got rid form that Wadia. Wadia for sound, any Wadia, is like a eating Peking dumplings made with no salt, no paper, no meat and cooked in non-boiled water. I always was astonished with the popularity...

At the beginning of this thread I said: “Show to me your middbas solution and I will tell you how your playback sounds”. Continuing to stress the domination importance of middbas-upperbass I would like to bring some illustrations and let you to make ...

After a month of listening exclusively Melquiades and decided yestoday re-switch everything and to play Lamm’s ML2.
I was quite shocked with the result and I did not anticipate the ML2 could be so way off. I will not elaborate about the a...

I was recently informed that some guys whose interests restricted only around a subject how to make the “Bride cut the cake” to sound louder took the above-posted article under thier “scrupulous” collaboration.

[quote user="slowmotion"]I don't understand what you mean here, Romy? To me "live" bass ( like when listening to an orchestra ) is much more dynamic than any reproduced bass I've ever heard. Also if listening to a real contrabass in a normal listenin...

I would like to share my observations about public perception of Melquiades - The Realty Reconstructions Amplifier.
Melquiades, or as I affectedly-abridgedly call it “the Melq” was released to pubic exactly a year ago:

Well, Jessie, I think you're exercising a wishful thinking but you have, I think, a wrong subject for your thinking. Neither Lamm nor any other high-end manufacture care about result as a concept but rather a result as product. A product b...

Paul, another my spin a little off the subject but since it has to do with your current dealing with ML2 I would express it here.
Since you use some tube gear then why you agree to be a slave of random circumstances? Tubes have problems – they go o...

[quote user="Gregm"]I would agree. I'd feel that the objective of "audio journalism" (for wont of a better description) is entertainment -- not an "evaluation" that can be used for reference purposes.So, the components discussed/presented are simply ...
