[quote user="Paul S"] God, this sounds like the very worst sort of DIY threads! FYI, I HATE DIY![/quote]It sounds but it does not necessarily mean that it is :) Let me try to deffend a bit my last postings:DIY is a self propelled random walk "let's ...

I suppose it is appropriate for my first post on this board to be about cello music. Since my wife is a cellist, I have had the opportunity to collect a great deal of cello music recordings -- although unlike Clark, my collection does not include 78s...

Looking at the coming MET “Eugene Onegin” production on February 24 it would be very interesting to hear Renée Fleming as Tatiana. I always love when foreigners sings Russian repertoire, particularly if they are “really trying” and if they are somebo...

[quote user="Paul S"]I would be very interested to know what Richter said about this in his diary. Apparently, this was Richter's 1st American recording, and all did not go well, at all. For instance, from a long list of unlikely "catastr...

Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note does traditionally price its pro...

[quote user="steverino"]People are not required to like or dislike anything. I guess the question you raise would require some additional info to answer. Some people have Austro German music as their reference and therefore don't really like styles w...

There is an Old Russian joke about a young bull and old bull is coming along the flock of cows and a young bull saying: “Grandpa let run very fast from this hill and have sex with that beautifully cow!” In couple minutes he comes again: “Grandpa let ...

This is a quality and interesting article to understand the currently UA situation, and about what seems to be coming in Ukraine (the situation seems too fluid at political level to really gasp anything).

[quote user="N-set"] I do have some serious concerns with respect to my design, the LF stability beeing the most important one (before we even approach talking about the Sound...if any); you may rememebr I was asking you about the stability and relia...

I was perhaps a textbook even but it was what it was. Charles Dutoit lead today BSO with all-Russian program. It was Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 featuring Kirill Gerstein. Ron della Cheisa announced the Dutoit on his podium, the orchestra take...

Have purchased two of the units for evaluation, using them for right and left channel and sources. Have also been using Romy's unit for the surrounds. Each running at about 35-45%. Sound is phenomenal; best I've ever heard from my system. One problem...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Romy,I have good confidence that it was the tubes and not the circuit. I have checked the cathode driver that bias the 6C33C and there was not any problem. Sure if the cathode bias failed, the 6C33C current will shoot way u...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Romy,The normal bias for the Golden Grid tube for 200V Plate at 200ma is about 70V-80V for the good tubes, the bad tube read 0ma at this bias, when drop to -30V it start reading some current, but can't get to 150-200ma current ...

Thank you for some great ideas! I was actually reluctant to admit that I made several changes at once, with changed-twice arm wire terminations, new IC link, new "dedicated" grounding scheme, and (most embarassing of all) new tubes in the phono...

Got today a party of the 6C18C from 1960s, an interesting tube. The plate looks like 1/4 times larger and has no bridge between the halves. The 6C18C has even less plate impedance than 6C33C and it appears that it futures inside more “colorful” metal...

Haha. Replace every "Tchaikovsky" with "Nietzsche", and it's pretty much my view.Well. Pain is pain, and anger is anger. It's boring to me when artists and philosophers are judged as creating out of misery, rather than pointing to something great and...

Scott, I do not see which Vocalise it is. The LYS have managed to published a huge amount of Koussevitzky recordings before their ass got kicked and I think thsy have 3 versions Koussevitzky’s Vocalisess… Get any of them, it will do... This ...

*** I too have thought a while about exactly this... there is something that troubles me deeply though about this approach. I have a theory that too small a cap may not work out as well as one might hope. Now, shall I do a Romy and delay revealing my...

Stitch,
the only thing that you are missing is paying attention to the OMA advertisements and truing to recognize behind it any rational beside a pimp yearling own merchandise (in fact it is not his merchandises). I told many times before tha...

[quote user="Paul S"]Art Dudley did a pretty fair review of the Jubilee for Stereophile a couple of years back. Of course, he is selling it, so one must +/- read between the lines. Still, he at least touches on/talks about the important stuff in term...

I was cocking pelmeni this weekend. Pelmeni is Russian meal, slightly reminding Chinese steam dumplings but boiled with different dough, and much smaller. So it was perhabs 20-30 of those miniature Pelmeni dumplings…. While I was making them (of cau...

[quote user="Paul S"] So, here we are, adrift on the great big sea of audio tomfoolery, without a metaphorical paddle. If we can on the one hand hear any and every change in our systems, then this implies that everything is worth considering. If we a...

[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...

The Y0-186 is still pleasing me with it’s spicy marinated sound. I woke up this morning, it is snowing again and I started my day with ritual Sunday morning Bach. This time the turn for Christophe Rousset and The Academy of Ancient Music conducted by...

[quote user="drdna"]Hi! I have got these 6E6P tubes from Georgia (in the former USSR, not the home of sweet potato pie). I have removed them all from their protective glass packaging, but I am unsure of how next to hook them up.[/quote]BT...

[quote user="Paul S"]I will still buy clean Seraphims with good program material if I do not have the original. If I do have the original, I pass on the Seraphim, even as a "back-up", UNLESS it is a record I have loved so much that I am killing it.M...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...
