The interesting is that with a good local FM classical stations and a VERY good program director the historic listing event are alley three. The audio-café is the same thing but there one can cash out the liquor license and a good cooking. The w...

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="Stitch"]Sometimes we have luck when we listen to a System and we can have the illusion of - more or less - pure music realism, but the majority of Systems are sophisticated hi-fi.Well, but let's be honest, can it be so difficult to creat...

Romy,You say that the digital read from your transport is better than the multiple reads of CD-Rom with EAC software?Thats interesting!!! It means that it is better to read once in a 'good' way than ten times to read garbage and average it.So, all th...

[quote user="hagtech"]Yes, it is an E55L. I wonder how stable it is. Interesting to me how many of these "uber-tubes" are designed for RF operation. Should make a wonderful oscillator. [/quote]

Romy,
from my understanding, this disc called HDAD, contains on one side a DVD-Video resolution, 96/24 and on the other side a DVD-A i.e 192/24 resolution. So the disc on one side can be played in your regular DVD player and the other in ...

Well, as I suspected it is not 200 drivers but 14. He has perhaps 200 driver at his storage abut they looks like do not work all together. The way how his 14 drivers work is foolishness. I still like this guy, even though I do not feel that his d...

The reason that I built the 6C33C preamp was to explore the 6C33C true musical potential like I did with the 845. Not only did I compare the sound of these tubes in power amp, but also in preamp. The reason is that with power amp you might hit some l...

[quote user="rowuk"]How many sources do you currently have? If you are building a phono corrector, make it for 4 volts output. If you have a PC for digital playback, there are good DACs with more than 2V output. That would leave a tuner to pimp - cer...

I do hate the colloquialism “Home Theater” but I do not think that another definition exists to define what it is. Whatever it is, I very much hate it. Back in 90s I had a quite refined “Home Theater” installation with 5.1 channels, quite sophisticat...

My journey with computer audio offers me reason to be optimistic. I think it is like everything else in the audio chain. Everything counts. Keep it as simple as possible. The power for every consumer is important. Keep the number of parts and transfo...

[quote user="Serge"]Well, I always noticed that 'universal' transports which spin the CD at 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x (faster each year) sound much muddier and grainier then the dedicated CD ones. Unfortunately nowadays there are hardly one or two commerc...

Thanks, floobydust.
There are a lot of interesting points in you post to consider. What speaker you drive with your 2A3? If they are relatively high sensitively (like compression drivers) then did you consider going with a single stage? I think I ha...
