The Science of Cables
bo1972 ... most people who work in audio have often a very limited level in insight and knowledge. Every time I speak to them it becomes clear that they often don’t know the answers on simple questions ... you first need to learn ...  They can... 
Ribbon midrange pros and cons
bsmgInfinity had the EMIT tweeter and EMIM mid back in the day; both ribbon diaphragm design. Innovative at the time but not a big hit.Some of those speaker systems have withstood the test of time, such as the RS-1 and IRS Beta systems. But th...

schubert  I never heard a note of classical till I was over 30 ... I am sure, very sure, that if that had that had not happened I would never , with my 8th degree education , got degrees from top US and German universities , married a beaut... 
Disco...yep, I'm going there
slaw I really can't understand how anyone can listen to these artists and not be moved to get up and dance. That IS an emotional connection. The exact connection most of us long for. So, what's the problem? There is no problem, it's just that... 
Reel to reel
orpheus10Just a little while ago, I recorded "Trance Mission" ... During recording, the music sounded louder in the left channel; that's normal for my room, not good, but normal.On playback, all was straightened out; the holographic sound stage... 
Reel to reel
benjie I go to your studio and record my music in your studio and I want it on analog tape ... I want to use that master tape that we just recorded to produce CD’s and vinyl albums because of the perceived richness this distortion produces. Since ... 
Reel to reel
benjie Why does this distortion not exist in digital or analog LP recordings? What is unique about a R2R’s recording circuit that causes this to happen? It’s not really the recording circuit that causes this distortion. I know that you may not w... 
Reel to reel
atmasphere When in record mode the primary distortion component of reel to reel (at 0 VU) is the 3rd harmonic, which the ear treats very much the same way as the 2nd; it adds 'richness'. Yes, that's the euphonic distortion that I referred to,... 
Reel to reel
benjie I have restored both of my R2R decks, Techincs RS-1500 2 track and Revox PR99 MkII. And I can say without a doubt that there is no "euphoric distortion" generating circuit in either deck. I’m sure there’s no circuit in either deck designed... 
Reel to reel
benjieHow does introducing distortion into a recording enhance or increase the overall musicality of the music? I would think an increased in distortion would have a negative effect not a positive one. There is such a thing as "euphonic distorti...

orpheus10LP and CD both came from the "Master tape"; I think the only difference is obvious; one is digital, and the other is analog.You may well be correct - but not necessarily. After all, the LP wasn’t made directly from the master tape, right... 
Death of Rock 'n' Roll
millercarbonThe Stones were absolutely great rock back in the day, but have been a nightclub act on life support for several decades ...The Stones can fill entire stadiums in the US, so they're hardly a "nightclub act."  
What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price?
mijostynJust a note. Forget reviews. There is way too much bias involved.Do you think this applies to all reviews? Do you think JA's measurements in Stereophile are "biased?"For me all point source speakers are out ... Linear arrays are much b...

benjie When I record these files, the information is there, it’s just not very audible. It is more in the background. Recording the file to tape seems to bring out more detail of the recording than is present through a digital player for the file... 
Reel to reel
orpheus10... I recall being at a high end emporium and requesting them to play my CD of Santana’s "Abraxas". This was my CD; I bought the LP Abraxas when it came out; to say that I was familiar with the album would be an understatement; the backg...
