    Alternative Audio

    Over the years, my list of favorite rooms have been largely untreated. Leading with the yamamuras, Vyger - RS - Mayer - Pnoe, multiple dual FLHs including Altecs, Silvercore's room, Leif's etc. Recently the Goto Altec, many videos of which I posted in the SET amp owners thread. The Sigma MAAT...

    Viv Lab Owners

    Hi, what cart and systems do you have? Time to investigate why both General and Hiraga like Viv Labs - HIraga is a straight arm no offset guy. Have heard it sound good with Fuuga on Rue de borgis, and heard it on Monaco Parabolica with Kondo (system in the SET amp owners thread) - couldn't...

    The Noob Linearity factor

    Going with the flow (some of you might not relate), I am introducing a new provocative hifi attribute. It is called The Noob Linearity. When we are noobs, and start with a basic system without much research (think back to your early audiophile days, even though for some people that might be 50...

    New Information channel bar on phone

    Hi, the new information channel/test navigation bar is creating the following problems on phone (no issue on laptop) 1. If we type something into the search box, then the "Search titles only" line gets hidden by the new bar, so we cannot select that Search titles box like before. 2. If we...

    Analog Compares with Cessaro Zeta

    In Audioquattr's system. Pick A1 or B1, A2 or B2, A3 or B3. Both sound great, I would just look at getting into the musical flow to differentiate. Bill picked up 3/4 just as we had heard them in room for the same reasons based on these videos A1 vs B1

    Zero Distortion: Sigma MAAT speakers, Kondo, Koda, NAT Magma and Lamm hybrid amps, Kondo GInga vs Da Vinci tables

    The Sigma MAAT/Vector XAC is probably the most flexible speaker I have heard, and when mated with a full Kondo set up, is one of the best systems I have listened to, and certainly in top 3 of commercial gear, i.e. something that can be replicated, is not a one-off, and where the system quality...

    Zero Distortion: Vyger

    Having heard it in around 10 systems over 4 years, and having visited the factory, my thoughts. Coming out of slumber, many articles were in drafts and will release them soon. Also a brief look at the Vyger speaker. https://zero-distortion.org/vyger/

    Experimenting with no-visual videos

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NGuQNBhs4YUzfQGJnUVAFGl4ciGfO9H3/view?usp=sharing I used a SONY HDR V1 (cheap, nothing fancy) which has an audio only feature. That records in WAV though. In retrospect I could have covered the video camera leaving the cap on and the recording would have been in...

    Concerto system videos

    Entire Beethoven's 5th - I though I would have a quick listen before breakfast - I ended up hungry as I had to listen to the whole thing, I did not want to get up midway. There is a cello and violin video thread, not necessarily concerto, so you could post them there or here

    Lampi GG/Pac owners, downstream electronics list

    Hi all, too many Lampi threads that go on to discussing tube rollings. So no tube mentions on this thread, and nothing related to the dac itself. I have been enthralled by the Pac 242 into Audionet Stern and Heisenberg I heard at heihei's 2 years ago. Before that I have heard excellent GG 242...

    Satire: Facebook changes its name

    Facebook changing its name to Meta reminded me of two other name changes. Hilarious articles. One was when, following Enron, Andersen consulting changed its name to Accenture: Accent on the future. The other was Philip Morris changing its name to Altria...
