Chario
Today I took 3 hours to leave and I went to visit the Chari. Of 3 hours, however, at least two and a half I have spent in traffic.
For those not familiar, Chario is one of the best hi-fi speaker factory in the world, at least according to this writer.
The visit, however, was due to an alleged failure to the tweeters of my speakers Reference 200T, certainly not high end, but more than respectable. In fact a few days ago I purchased a pair of albums in high definition, and I produced the DVD-Audio first. I used the tools open-source Linux, but wrong to neglect the working directory, and then the DVD including the original flac files.
insert the DVD into the player, so good for the first song, while the second surprise was white noise (0 dB, I think). The volume knob was no more than 1 / 3 of the race, but the sound from that moment I felt the same.
omit the various tests done and the differences, which I'll perhaps in a future post, so much so that the doubt you have damaged the tweeters I attacked.
Chario I contacted yesterday, and kindly gave me this morning for their willingness to make appropriate checks.
I had the opportunity to know the owner Mario Murace, very kind person and extremely available, ready to listen to a customer like me in ecstasy of being surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of speakers of the highest quality.
The results of the bench was great, the two speakers are still in excellent condition and fully functional.
Now I will continue to try to understand what has happened to the system or to my ears after that blast of white noise.

Treasury in a wreck, and 'champagne '700
tiny bubbles and perfect of French champagne with a hint of tobacco, but also of white fruits. They were, in all probability ', get on the table spread of Tsar Peter the Great, courtesy of Louis XVI of France, and instead ended up in the bottom of the Baltic Sea off the Aaland Islands. Until a few days ago when a group of divers came across the wreckage contained the precious nectar. One of the divers has brought to light one of the thirty bottles, just to try to identify the ship sank and came across a treasure. The champagne taste "absolutely fabulous" as he testified oenologist, who had the rare privilege to taste it, could become the oldest so far discovered drinkable champagne. This should be a Veuve Clicot produced in the years since 1780, although the research has just begun to identify the sensational charge, since the bottles are unlabeled. But bears the engraved symbol of a cork anchor and this makes the prevailing 98%, the thesis that it is Veuve Clicquot. Or so say the producers of Moet Chandon, respondents to draw the identikit of the precious liquid was discovered at a depth of 55 meters to the bottom of the sea that separates Finland from Sweden.
E 'was precisely the absence of light combined with low temperatures of the sea to ensure that the champagne could get to today with its features intact. The head of the team of divers who made the discovery Christian Ekstrom, also ventures a reconstruction on the date of production of champagne. Veuve Clicquot, she explains, began its production of champagne in 1772 and the first years were not available before 1782. Then came the French Revolution of 1788-1789, which has paralyzed the production of the aristocratic drink. Then the bottles should have been produced in this period.
The discovery could wipe out the champagne yet drinkable record held previously by a British wine expert, who is a jealous guardian of Perrier Jouet, vintage 1825. The wine maker who has tasted the champagne of the abyss, she Grussner Cromwell Morgan, is absolutely thrilled. He confesses that he still in the fridge with a glass of this dark nectar of gold, the bouquet "amazing, intense, very sweet, while retaining its acidity. "I'm going to see him every five minutes because I still can not believe it," says the winemaker that each bottle could be sold at auction for approximately 53,000 €. But as the champagne king of France could also be worth millions of euro, to the delight of the directors of the Aaland Islands, an autonomous region of Finland.

In King Arthur's Round Table Revealed a group of historians identifies a a Roman amphitheater discovered recently in the local English of Chester, a "castrum", clearly Roman as the probable site of Legend of the Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur.
According to scholars the round table, as it was described in the novels of Breton cycle, 'E' and the palace and the hall 's cerchiòvita (the circuit) was all that Ritondo sitting at the table one saw the other face and when they were in there were all round that is one thing and everyone was in fedìano a stake and a sign that they were to the post and drew a sign of obedience and love that "never existed. In fact, the meeting place and recruitment of the knights of King Arthur was a circular structure made of wood and stone, which can accommodate up to 10,000 people just like sitting in an amphitheater.
Historian Chris Gidlow in an interview with the Mail Daiya said that Camelot was not therefore a castle built from scratch but it would be built on a structure built and then abandoned during Roman times, to convince the experts would be a plaque in honor of the Christian martyrs discovered the same site, which is alluded to in the first written evidence of the Arthurian legend, dating from the sixth century Christ.

Urusalim Jerusalem

Jerusalem stands on the ruins of the Canaanite city called Urusalim whose location on the southern spur of the hill east of the Old City is uncertain. The Osservatore Romano writes that a comprehensive service dedicated to the discovery of a small fragment of only 3 cm with clear traces of burnt clay, found carefully sifting through the soil to carry the foot of a tower that was part of the fortifications of the city of the tenth-ninth century before the Christian era, consioderato "the most ancient inscription found in Jerusalem could be a crucial step in the reconstruction of the history of the ancient city of the Canaanites / Jebusites, which became, after the conquest by David, the capital of Israel. The discovery - said the Vatican newspaper - was the work of the archaeological mission led by Eilat Mazar who for years has taken over the investigation in the northern part of the hill south-east of the city 'Santa, the Bible Ophel, today in the Palestinian neighborhood which extends south of the fence of the Temple (the Haram esh-Sherif on which stands the Mosque of al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock). The size of the find, the ductus wedges Assyriologists read by Wayne Horowitz and Takayoshi Oshima, the study of clay mineralogy, by Yuval Goren, leave no doubt: it is a cuneiform tablet dating from the fourteenth century before the Christian era , made with local clay hills of central Palestine, similar to specimens from el-Amarna, the location in Egypt where it was discovered back in 1887, the stock of international mail is written on cuneiform tablets in Akkadian language of Amenhotep IV , the Pharaoh "heretic" who renamed 'Akhenaten. In this archive seven letters were sent by Abdi-Khepa sovereign Urusalim, an important city-state of Palestine, with Jerusalem precisely identified. Until a few months ago, the archive data of el-Amarna, though accurate, had not been reflected in the archeology of Jerusalem. A century and a half of excavations carried out in every possible point of the Old City and, in particular, the so-called Citta 'Fortress of Zion of David or not to be confused with the Tower of David at Jaffa Gate, which had returned a few fragments of pottery dated at the time of the Late Bronze Age and this had prompted several scholars to question the identification of Urusalim el-Amarna letters of the Jerusalem of the Canaanites (The Jebusites in the biblical story that refers to the last centuries of the second millennium before the Christian era).

Visit to the new CD sound
During the last few months I did test it, so there are no sensational news on the improvement of the sound due to the running of cables. How
additional remarks to the previous post, I remember that often, going up one rung on the ladder of the quality of the electronics, what is more noticeable is removed the sound, rather than what is added and not noticed that before.
seems incredible, but I would not be the first to admit that the sound of the CD is actually more fat than it should be, that artificially inflated for look nicer or more aggressive, according to the will of the producers of the disc.
The evidence of these statements are spent listening to HD. suddenly disappear a number of characteristics of the incision that they assumed they vanish or are relocated in space.
The analogy might be the move from a cheap CD player to a medium-high: usually cheap CDs tend to "scream", that is to bring up all the performers, regardless of spatial location, then flattening the sound stage. More
increases the quality, the sound stage becomes more defined and many sounds fade into the background, giving the feeling of "wasting" of sound, which in reality is simply greater fidelity.
The difference is that, with high definition, this happens even if the same source , or DAC in our case: it is enough to feed the DAC with two versions of the same track at different resolutions.
Personally I tried with "Got To Get You Into My Life" in Retrospective Christy Baron (Chesky), made available on a 16/44 version of the sampler cut from the same master to 24/96. Yesterday I
Listened to all the Nutcracker version Philips, at the time considered audiophile. Nothing to be done after the plays hi-def, go back to the old CD is very difficult.
Even the legendary Star Tracks of Telarc, recorded at the dawn of digital technology with the Sony PCM 1610 , one of the best albums of the existing starting to show signs of age, made more evident by the new technologies, particularly signals with low intensity.
