Raidho D1 audition
Hi Razmika,Please illuminate what evidence you have to substantiate the claim that the diamond layer applied to Raidho D-series mid/woofers amounts to marketing BS? 08-07-13: Razmika[ ]BTW, the so called "diamond" woofer, is also a bit of marketin... 
Speakers that do pianos really well
08-06-13: BigkidzIMO the sound from your speakers has much to do with your preamp. Decay, heft to the notes, blending, can all be attributed back to the preamp.More to do with how your loudspeakers interact with the room i'd say. Remember here, yo... 
Speakers that do pianos really well
Hi Grimace,Were the "half a dozen pretty well-regarded speakers" you tried back-to-back in your system, a dealer system or a mix of systems?I've found that Piano is a great work out for any speaker, though we must remember we are listening to a sy... 
what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ?
The Romulus looks very interesting. Audiolabyrinths aspirations for a single box transport / DAC resonates with many audiophiles who are trying to keep the box count down! 
Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
Interesting Emailists. I have also felt the Raidho C-1.1 (and by extension the Raidho D1) had a better upper end and certainly resolved more detail than the TAD CR1. Yes, the TAD could push more air than the Raidho in the bottom end - no real surp... 
Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
Many thanks for that Emailists. I think it adds significantly to the discussion. Quite a few people have wondered how the Raidho D1 stacks up against the TAD CR1 and the Magico Q1 [these three being natural competitors] and I think your observatio...

Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
The Dynaudio C1 is a reasonable speaker but is certainly not in the same league as the Magico Q1 or the Raidho C-1.1.Dynaudio owners upgrade to the Magico or Raidho. BTW, any particular reason to be looking specifically at bookshelf speakers? Do y...

The title is:"There's No Such Thing As Digital..."
Hello Johnnyb53. Thanks for the overview.I didn't think there was any such thing as 100% jitter free? I thought all timing sources had jitter? Have you also overlooked the fact that some CDP's even reasonably priced ones, use high speed drives and...

25 Watt Tube Amp for 90db Speakers?
Hi Al,Interesting post. Thanks.A question. While I agree the dynamic range of a recording will set the pace on what multiple of power is needed, few of us will know what that recorded dynamic range is? Therefore some suggest that amplifiers should...
