How do you know what you want from your audio system?
I know what I want based mostly on what I've heard from other systems over the years. While I could replicate a system's components easily enough I can't bring home another person's listening room. Having moved house quite a lot over the years and switched continents a couple of times, I've...- rooze

Would you Pay $250 to Hear Specific Equipment at a Dealer?
I think it’s the early stages of a dealer beginning to resent his or her own potential customers. May be time to switch to an alternative business model.- rooze

ChatGPT on Audiophile
I work with chatGPT daily and some of what it spits out as factual beggars belief. If you’re going to use it in any kind of technical research capacity, fact check everything that’s important. It’s also capable of some degree of dishonesty. Point out where it’s made a mistake and it can double...- rooze

Lampizator help!
@msimanyi not a good resolution, unfortunately. After going back and forth with the seller and involving Lampizator it appears this was a custom build without records of what work was done. There’s speculation on what the “Bass” outputs are for and speculation on the function of the power toggle... -
Lampizator help!
Thanks, Larry. I sent them an email, hopefully they're responsive. If anyone in the meantime recognizes the back panel arrangement, please let me know. Cheers -
Lampizator help!
Just got a lampi 7b and it isn’t clear to me what goes where. I’m not aware of any Lampizator with “bass” output, yet that’s how this thing is labeled. I spoke with the seller and he sold it on behalf of a friend who he needs to contact, but hasn’t done so as of yet. The manual isn’t helpful...- rooze

Are We the Last Generation?
We’ve always been a very small niche, my prediction is that it will just continue to be that way. Looking around at kids wearing earbuds and deducing that they’re going to force us into extinction is overlooking the fact that our numbers have always been very small. There’s no experience in the...- rooze

The best 5 speakers that you have had
They're very good speakers but I'm in that mode at the moment where I want to try something different. Over the last 6 months or so I've tried Khorns, Valencias, and VOTT A7s. I've enjoyed them all but not enough to keep them ahead of the C40s. I'm thinking about La Scalas next or something from...- rooze

All New Clarisys Audio Minuet Loudspeakers !
No, it wasn't worded well...I was saying that Florian is a flag bearer for the old Apogee brand, keeping the designs alive through the new Clarisys products and that Graz also is keeping the Apogee brand alive by providing replacement ribbons. As far as I know, Graz has nothing to do with...- rooze

All New Clarisys Audio Minuet Loudspeakers !
Florian deserves success with these. I've never known anyone as passionate about the Apogee design, except perhaps Graz, who supports the brand with new ribbons, etc. Good luck.- rooze

Horns with SS amp instead of Tube (se)!?
About a decade ago I was running a pair of stacked (2 horns per side, rated around 106dB) Oris150 horns with custom bass cabs. I rolled through about a half dozen low-powered amps including 2A3, 45, 300b, etc. All good amps from reputable manufacturers. It wasn't until I switched to a 200w...- rooze

Worst Movie of All Time?
Angels and Demons - from the Dan Brown book. Shares the prize for worst movie dialog with Perfect Storm. EDIT - I can't say these two movies are worse than AV2 as I haven't seen Av2. But I'm trying hard and I can't imagine...- rooze

New Audigon Service Fee
I just paid a $9 “service fee” on top of a purchase today. I wondered what the heck that was about. Strange that I should have to learn about it at a different website…. An odd way to do business.- rooze
