At present I listen to the 11 ohms Rogers version of the above speaker. Generally I am pretty happy with the sound. I wonder if there would be any benefit in going over to a newer design from Spendor or Harbeth, perhaps a slightly larger enclosure ( my listening room is 9 X 11 feet)?. […]

It sure is easy getting lulled into a routine and forgetting to think about those things that I know so well; but I seem to do it on a regular basis. Case in point, the difference in cables. I’ve spent literally years designing audio and power cables and trying to gain an understanding of why […]

Not until we got deeply immersed in the building of a state-of-the-art recording label, Octave Records did it occur to us just how important the recording/mixing monitors are to the final outcome. Consider that every single decision made in any recording is 100% determined by ear. No measurement arguments live here. If the guitar sounds too bright […]
Neil (editor) here. I took a fresh look at this thread just now. Although it started a while back, there is a LOT of useful comment there. Certainly worth dipping in and out I feel – which is why I point you towards it. ============== Hello, I’m Rene from Holland, I have a AKAI […]
Brand and pedigree set expectations. A Mundorf or REL capacitor has more good feelings associated with them than an XYZ capacitor. Yet, that XYZ capacitor might just blow the socks off either brand.

AKM was one of the best manufacturers of audio ICs in the world, in particular, A/D and D/A converters. The AKM fire broke out […]
Nicholas Kenyon writes as follows: “There are zillions of violin concertos by Vivaldi, but it’s a surprise to find so many for the bassoon, at that time a relatively undeveloped instrument. Possibly written for a court player, or for an undiscovered virtuoso girl at the Pietà, the reason for them remains a mystery. The five […]
