Zero Distortion: Tango Time

[Al M.]

Al has heard them all and probably has the most comments

No comment since the videos are not representative of the sound. Any more questions?

Al, they must be representative of the sound of something and it is human nature to have to click and listen. And opinions are often clear by not commenting.

Someone on my youtube channel who had followed Tang's earlier journey, heard the A (Rostropvich) and B (Shafran), and asked if B was AF1p as it seemed more accurate with inky black background, and if A was EMT 927 as it seemed more romantic and more engaging. He asked if it was a different recording.

Shows you how neutral AS2000 is to allow different recordings be heard without coloration in this way !

I was thinking this guy knows how to listen video when you told me that. The B (Shafran) sounds like the recording was engineered to mute background and spot light cello more. The color was more like coffee with some milk too. Unusual for recording done 50 years ago. Not as transparent as Decca. I was thinking they recorded this in an insulated studio. That's why I mentioned I am curious to hear the original just to see if my hypothesis was right. I guess he also heard that in video so he speculated it was Techdas. Both A and B video were played by AS2000. The difference came from recording not tt.

I still recommend that Shafran record. The energy is still in that vinyl. His performance was so interesting and entertaining. Don't be so extreme audiophile.

You are the manufacturer of this tt. You are not legit to say.

But it is true!

 

[microstrip]

Of course. The Lamm will match the Eurodyn as well ddk's Bionor. This is also why I choose these speakers.

You are more brave than me. I considered replicas, as the drives show from time to time in the German eBay. However, after reading David unsuccessful try to duplicate the Bionors and the reasons why I gave up.

I look forward to your reports on this project.

And talk about neutrality. I would like to say that the EMT Jpa 66 phono has same characters as AS2000. It seems to just do what a record has to offer. For example It is dynamic when the record shows dynamic. It does not like to add. That's why most people may find it lame. I also think that for general population of audiophile more people (a lot more) will say the AS is a lame duck when a/b with other uber tts. So do not buy them. And if you buy them and use uber power cords, you will waste your money.

Some people prefer rose colored glasses. David’s turntable provides a crystal clear view. It’s not for everyone. There’s a reason he takes Ching Cheng power cords with him when he sets up his turntable in clients’ systems. He needs to hear what he’s doing.

I commend you for taking the risk. You once wrote me that people leave the forums when their questions have been answered and they are no longer searching.

I’ve seen you around a little bit more lately. with pictures of your lovely family too. Life seems good and this is a wonderful way to explore and learn. You look younger than the rest of us.

david’s experiments were an attempt to re-create what he already owns. I have seen some of the wood panels from those efforts.

Tang is doing something different. He is creating something completely different from what he has as an alternative. The goals are different. Tang may be pleased with the result. The standard is different as well as the expectations.

Sometimes failure matters! It's one way to understand how things work from the inside.

Thank you for the compliment Peter. I am still young only 53. My two little ones call me "Oppa" instead of Papa.

"Oppa" in Korean means brother in a passionate way girl calling older guy. For example, if David go to a night club with me in Bkk girls would call him "Oppa."

 

[PeterA]

I called my German mother’s father “opa” when I was growing up. It is German for grandfather. You don’t look 53, Tang.

One thing for sure is Tang will be able to know and admit if new speaker project is successful or not.

"fail well' is a step toward success. good feng shui.

While growing up Tang used to chase girls and they called him Oppa. Put him in the brother zone, a polite back off.

I can listen and enjoy on digital too. So not extreme at all. But ranking is a must. It is an Indian thing. We always rank
