My understanding of Romy's point is that in addition to the designer's perception of what sound shall be, and marketing whore's mischief, we consumers share some of the burden of responsibility for the buying choices presented to us.

A few local audio guys temporarily donated to me some gear that completely out of blue made me to have my Opera Room operational. I have a big screen, some kind of a good projector, in few days I will have a good player. The sound is the Altec 19 and...

We in Boston are hit this weekend with a mean Nor'easter storm with wind, rain and show. They promises a feet or so and it is juts October…. I am having great time, secluding myself in my video room, lighting up fireplace, smoking my Cohiba, playing ...

Hello Romy, been lurking around for some time now, I believe one of the first things I read from you was the DPOLS. Blew me away! Anyway, sometime ago I found an interesting video on youtube regarding a special speaker setup technique. This person sp...

Romy,Interesting video. The first thing that came to my mind when you were talking about HF colours and the "clean" RAAL Waterdrop tweeter, is perhaps adding colour to the RAAL. Instead of blanding out the midrange S2 and injecting HF colour with t...

Although I mostly buy CD's, I have never been a fan of the format and still prefer LP's. As such I would welcome some value added content. The trouble is, I suspect it won't be music (the only real value added content of interes...

I was offered to buy Micro seiki RX5000. The seller sent me a short video. If you see it carefully you will notice that the platter moving slightly up and down. Is that that normal or this could be sign that the bearing is not in good condition?

I am not exactly taking
about the surround sound as it understood by video people. In fact, I believe that
surround sound for video is a bad conceptually as it contradicts in my view
some cinematographic objectives. I imply the “surround sound” an...

In the latest video Romy speaks of a metaphor generator. An audio experience for the purpose of making one a better person. One might think of this as a personal event, with a retroversive effect, allowing the past to appear in a new way,and as such ...

Space means so many things at the same time:1) the size of the venue2) the location of the individual instruments3) the space between the instruments4) the size of the instrumentUnfortunately, we can only guess about the original venue unless we have...

The famed audio designer was working on new audio designs until the end, which continued to be published in MJ, the Japanese audio journal. I'm sad to hear of his passing. I feel fortunate to have been able to meet him and spend time listening to som...

Thinking about it again and again I decided for now to have integrated connection of my AV. The BlueRay player will be plug to the preamp of the main system. The preamp will drive two power amps: Milq and SS amp. The Milq will drive the full scope of...

Well, as I understand the iPlayer version is M4A files, which is low-loss compression of audio part of MPEG-4 video. It would be interesting to get uncompressed (I mean digitally uncompressed file). I also do not know that bits rate in that M4A compr...

Romy - The sails may or may not fit the aesthetics of your room but it will be tough to get the fans to work effectively with them installed. I thought that a sail furling system might be an interesting option. There are different types but in a nut...

Well, I always say, why pay more for the same thing? So it gets down to what they offer for the money. For 4,800USD I don't like the blow dryer in the record cleaner. And, despite what is said on the Kirmuss video I linked to, I do not believe the...

Something I see a lot of in studios is the "distribution amplifier", that joins and splits the audio (and/or "video") signals into any number of channels. I believe I want buffering, but I am not ready to track and impliment the "balanced" configura...

Clark: You heard what units can do in my place.Romy: Took your advice and added high frequency rolloff to the woofers. The sound did clean up the way you predicted. Now if I can get my subwoofer amplifier back asnd rebalance the system.Paul: Am erxtr...

My lovely Japanese girlfriend enjoys teasing me about my love of Tchaikowsky. She thinks his music is too "sweet" and "romantic". I do love listening to Tchaikowsky, even Nutcracker. Yes, it is sweet and catchy. Maybe it is making h...
