[quote user="Romy the Cat"] It is incredibly rare that an audio makers can express pure and unadulterated interest in Sound, interest that is wider and then boundary of own product or own field. [/quote]I agree, I met maybe only 1 or 2 who really kne...

"SO i read somewhere on the net if we have to mix ss and tube the combination should be tube pre----ss amp and NOT ss pre ------tube amp."Please don't take offense, but this is why I say what I say. No matter how smart you are or how long you've been...

To recap what I have said before, the issue is bad electricity, which makes your stereo much like aliving thing with tempermental moods. The same way that a steak can change from a sizzling, juicy tender delight to a cold greasy lump after being chil...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not say how my saga with APS Pure Power regenerator finish but it never finished. Since the end of the last year the regenerators is sitting in my closet and I have sent the unit’s main board to APS people for the “re...

kodomo , I would like to make some comments about your response.
The presumption that the mic was exact
in the listening spot and the drivers are time-aligned and run “in-phase”. If
any of the above conditions are not true then all bets are off a...

Without regulation, this amp would not work correctly due to its design: DC coupled and fixed bias. The high transconductance will make the bias current varied as much as 50-100ma due power line fluctuation without the regulators. It mi...

I know there is no reason to describe my view about high end audio but i do not know why i am interested to do that in this forum.I think we could categorize audio systems in 3 level.Level 1 is a system that make you sad in long listening session bec...

[quote user="oxric"]What's much more interesting is the practice of audio, facing practical problems, having a clear idea of what your objectives are and having some form of strategy of how to address any identified shortcomings. A lot of it is neces...

This, from my prospective a superbly truthful article, was written by a Russian guy A. Polakov. I do not know who he is but the accuracy of Mr. Polakov’s experience regarding the subject and very similar Mr. Polakov’s and my observations of the issue...

If you read my site and are accustomed to some off the wall ideas that sometimes popup to my heard then you did not heard about the latest one, the most moronic of all. I have to preface it by saying that I do not looking for any TT improvements. I ...

Those recent posts of yours are making me wonder whether my PP2000 unit is really faulty, as PurePower acknowledged on this very forum. After all, you are starting to recognize that PP is sensitive to incoming electricity in your own units. This make...

It is one thing to swap caps in a pre-amp, or ICs; it is another thing entirely to swap transducers. Nothing brings change like a speaker, and it may be that nothing is less understood in terms of the pure sound that is - ultimately - the only t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
My current bass is very “integrated” and very musical. It low, it is large, it is extended and it is in away grandeur and it has nothing close with faulty Hi-Fi impressiveness. It never take over sound and never indicat...

well, i believe that the popularity of the better fostex tweeters comes from their typical, off-shelf sound which is soft and easy on ear in comparison with super-resolunt Ti or Be diaphragm equipped competition. they very much suit any sharpness com...

Well, it unquestionably much better, still I am afraid that they are trying to spread one ass across two chairs; I will talk about it in the end. The change from what was before was around the frame and upperbass horn. It looks like the guys are tryi...

I must have missed out on how you regulate gain to or from each or any of several "channels"/pass bands, Romy. I can remember years ago trying lots of EQ things to get "Flat Frequency Response" and finally giving up on all of it, including...

Hmmm...let's see, I'm pretty young, to the point where I don't have any major source of money income, so I do with what I can when I can and want to, just like many other suffering young and/or poor audiophiles. It's like this, I don't listen to any ...

romy- i have resisted using RTA for the very reasons you're citing-- learning to read the visual data, as well as methods of how to get it accurately, are as equally time consuming as any other pursuit in audio. anyone can be a reade...

I guess you cannot say you listened to a horn system if you dont have an upper bass horn.The upper bass horn has to fill in the response from the compression driver down. At this delicate range nothing will perfectly macth it but another front horn. ...

Paul,Actually they do not sound different. As shown in everyone's tests, those objective measures of performance do not change more than you might expect two different drivers of the same type, manufacturer and production run to sound. What changes a...

Paul,I finally received my unit in February 2010. After installing it there was an immediate improvement to the sound of my system. I live in an apartment near downtown Boston. My playback varied from day to day. It proved to be very frustrating ...

Well, Paul, a majority of audio Morons is that in their infinite chase for a “better” turntables approach the subject of turntables’ assessment using fundamentally faulty techniques. Let pretend, juts for sake of illustration, that a pric...

Adrian, I had Edgarhorns that have evolved since I bought them in 2005. In my current set-up, nothing remains of the original Edgarhorns as conceived by Bruce, other than the speaker system remains front loaded horns. I noticed the same sense of he...
