How to improve sound quality by positioning!

To get the best loudspeaker position in a listening room takes years of experience and practice. Listening and testing takes years to know exactly where to place the loudspeakers and so I have written this “How to improve sound quality” article to help you understand what a difference it really makes by positioning and repositioning the loudspeakers.

The system I am writing about was set up in Vilnius, Lithuania and the loudspeakers are from “WOLFVONLANGA” open baffle design. Read more

Good clean Contact About me QualityTannoy is a British manufacturer of loudspeakers and public-address (PA) systems.

The second part of 2015 Audio show for a change

This is the second part of the about my impressions of the change at the Audio Gourmet show held at the Radisson Blu hotel, Vilnius, Lithuania. In the first part, It was more of the interesting and not so common items which are called “High end” items. These usually are far out of reach of the average person who is just getting started into the audio world.

Guitarists hear difference

Guitarists hear difference very easily and please let me explain why.

I Have been working with cables and power cords for many years now but last week decided to try my power cord on my guitar amplifier just to see what the difference would be.

And depending on the result, I might introduce it to the Perkune range of audiophile cables.

Down under as that was the best!

Down under

Will we ever forget those good times, those memories that every once in a while somehow float back up to the surface?

This is one of those pictures that keeps coming back to me and I think it is because of the memories that I have of Australia when a visited it a few years ago.

Why this particular picture you may ask and I will reply - well why not?

Perkune - Who or What is Perkune?

i,

I have been asked quite a few times how did you get the name of your cables and who is or who was Perkune?

PerkuneThere are many stories about Perkunas or Perkune as we call our cables and it is very interesting reading about this particular God and all the stories that surround him.

The Russian translation means god of sound so what better can there be the god of the sound of thunder so what better name could there be for my cables?

Please follow this link and you will see what I mean.

Tannoy 15″ Challenge OB/300 liter

i,

Challenge

Tannoy makes some of the world’s best speakers or “Drivers” and they are called. One of the most interesting drivers that TannoTannoy y ever made was the Tannoy GRF Memory and so we decided to have a Challenge.

The drivers had been mounted in the Open Baffle configuration and were placed in my listening room and set up using our own cables and system set up techniques. It took a lot of time to actually position the drivers because Open Baffle is not the same and you have to allow for the correct placement to get the best bass response.

Open baffle"Open Baffle" is becoming more popular in the recent months and is a good topic for discussion between audiophiles

I have noticed that recently Open Baffle seems to be rearing its head and people are taking notice so I decided to build an Open Baffle system for myself so that I could find out what I could hear and if I liked what I heard.

Old or new amplifier so which is the best

Old or new?

This is a question often grundig vintage amplifierasked in the audio world but there really is no answer because it is just personal preference.

When I started listening to music in the 70’s, I had a Leek valve amplifier and loved the sound it produced. When I played my guitar, it was through a Vox AC 30 valve amplifier and again I loved the sound it produced. Valves are really beautiful and they give so much realism and life to the sound.
