The closest i can think of is if your child went south and blames you of your bad influence on him or her when they were younger, and you can't remember or understand what they are talking about, but still feel a tremendous amount of guilt, you'...

Well, my wording may not be right. What I meant by "integrity of harmonics" is more like "integrity of space where harmonics are presented", which I do not hear in CD/LPs.Yoshi...

I am sorry to report a very unti-climax ending of my 8 years' saga with the Reps-1 driver. It ended abruptly when Romy came and said "Let's go for the LE-8 (which I had it in my second system)".I'll report my findings in a different thread...

It wasn't a silent display. I heard some weeny brassy Mars wind and Marsian footsteps coming from them. I thought of asking to play some Earth material I brought with and realized I forgot them in my car. Typical of me.Yoshi...

I know what you mean, but I think it is a bit different. With Romy's system, CDs and LPs sound more immediate than FM, but through FM, I perceived music more as a whole. It's like my brain re-constract an anssemble from each perceived sou...

You have to have guts (or stupidity) to introduce new FM tuners nowadays but as you understand this fact is very welcomes at my site. So, it comes: http://47labs.co.jp/4730.htmlI have no idea what it is and what is inside. Yoshi told me that FM was ...

Yeah, you're right Yoshi. Sometimes we have to detach ourselves from this ridicule audio hobby to be able to rediscover the true essence of music. Why do many audiophiles seek the ultimate in transparency, soundstage, bass reponse while the music is ...

It's also coming out from Warner/France. About $80 at Japanese HMV. The release date in Japan is 04/30/2008.http://www.hmv.co.jp/news/article/804090072Yoshi...

[quote user="yoshi"] One guy reports the comparison between SHM-CD and CD version of Klieber's Beethoven 5th and says what they did is just to increase the volume level so that it feels like you hear more details, but because of that, the orchestral ...

[quote user="Jordi"]PURELY for fun because they're not going to be able to compete with my sweet sweet Quicksilvers![/quote]That's fine and dandy. However, I'm very curious to hear your answers to Romy's question regarding your motiva...

Although there's no doubt "The Garden of Earthly Delights" is a historical master piece, I always felt there's something abnormal about it. Not because some modern psycologist read schizophrenic tendancy from the right panel. Mine comes from doll l...

Recently, I added JBL 2220 for below 200 and replaced TOA DSP with Pioneer D-23 4way active crossover. The result is very positive, but there are still many issues I'd like to attend.I'll be out of country early in September so that'll be a goo...

No. The only thing I can remember is that it was some unknown material with a trumpet and a bass. The trumpet coming from the horn and the bass coming from the woofer. The volume was low, so I can't even tell if the two dr...

I'm wondering why people do not mention Bruckner 4th, while 5,7,8, and 9 were talked about here and there. I really love the 4th symphony. My most favorite is Wand's last recording with NDR. The one with Berlin Phil is great too. As an orchestra ...

"They were both artists thoroughly faithful to themselves. Of course, their music was beautiful beyond description. I learned many things through them. I learned so many things not only from their music, but also from their way of l...

The picture sure does looks like 2482 and it comes with Phenolic disphram (I have a pair though never used), but it's more like a mid-low driver. JBL's recommendation is 300~6k.http://www.jblpro.com/pub/obsolete/2482.pdfYoshi...

Romy's prediction of field-coil speakers as the next move for the industry may already have started in small segment in Japanese market. There's Feastrex and Shindo, then G.I.P Laboratry who specializes in W.E. clones and seems to be gaining a ...

Hi!You are probably familiar with this one... It's the closest to a multi-cell tweeter (well, maybe because it actually IS a multi-cell tweeter, but only 6 cells) I've ever seen...picture of Altec 3000hRegards,Anders Boman...

Actually, the entire performance of Jochum in Tikyo on Sep. 17, 1986 is available on DVD.http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/2582492I have one but it is area coded and I can only play on my computer.Yoshi...

[quote user="yoshi"]In case of fake stamps or self-contradiction in a story, it is rather easy to point out how it is so by introducing an evidence. In case of audio, usually there's only his system/result that is present. When ...

It has nothing to do with thread but with the fact, the facts that I am experienced. I have no exposure or familiarity with Yoshi Sugano’a cartridges but I know one guy who very much likes Koetsu and use then all his live. In fact he encouraged m...

I almost pick it up on ebay several times, but the hideous cover work always stopped me from committing to it!OK, Sibelius and Munch were both from Scandinavia, Sibelius from Finland and Munch from Norway, but that's the only connection I can imagine...

With the Japanese Yen devaluation, stuff in Japan has gotten very cheap. Like 50%+ cheaper vs. USD in the past few years. This, combined with the fact that shipping charges generally drop rapidly for heavier packages would make me look at potentially...

One Japanese classical music reviewer, Naoya Hirabayashi, who seems to be very keen on recording issues, blames heavy use of noise reduction and editing (combining rehersal takes, adding reverb, digitally correcting mis-notes, etc.) as two ...

Romy:I've been thinking and thinking. What I found at the bottom is a lack of confidence accompanied by the fear of it being exposed. I do not have a confidence in my audio. Further more, it was camoufraged from my own eyes by the h...

Wouldn't you know it, Jordi has to work weekends, too, and it can only make it tougher for him that the rest of us seem to have nothing but free time, stupid ideas and bad attitudes.Meantime, while $100s burned in my waste basket, I ran across a...

From the audio perspective, I heartily agree and understand your point. After all, the system you tuned for me is teaching me so much about audio and music that I'll need some time to access what is really happening.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]

[quote user="yoshi"]What was wrong was that I do not have a proper evaluation method/ability of Sound and piled up my system around the Reps driver with an intention to overcome the obvious shortcomings under the way I've been listening to jazz....

Hi Stitch,I met Yoshi, the US distributor for 47 Labs, a few times for coffee when he was visiting Tokyo. We discussed Jazz music and his modern artwork in detail, topics that were so interesting we never got around to classical music or equipment.I ...
