KRAKOW SONIC SOCIETY № 151

TAIKO AUDIO
Olympus Server XDMI + Olympus I/O XDMI

The 151st meeting of the Krakow Sonic Society opens, symbolically, the next stage of its activities. And it does so with a bang, as it starts with a listening to one of the most expensive audio file transports on the market, the TAIKO AUDIO Server XDMI with Olympus I/O XDMI module. We've tested this pair before, but this time the I/O XDMI features a DAC, and Taiko's creator and head, Mr. Emile Bok, is there to tell us about the equipment.

KRAKOW SONIC SOCIETY | meeting #128: AYON AUDIO S-10 II SIGNATURE - streamer/network player | AUSTRIA

KSS Write up by: WOJCIECH PACUŁA Images: KTS Meeting #128 December 1, 2020 ⌈ KRAKOW SONIC SOCIETY is an informal group of audiophiles and friends who meet every now and then to learn something new about audio products, music releases, music itself, and so on. The idea for KSS was born in 2005. It has already been the 128. KSS meeting. ⌋ HE ENTERTEINMENT INDUSTRY IN THE TIME OF PANDEMIC found new spaces on the Internet. It is impossible to replace a direct contact between an artist and a viewer and the viewer with an artist, it is not possible to transfer the concert to the Internet in 100%, but in front of our eyes new channels of communication between the creators and the audience are being created, which will probably remain active also after we manage to get back to normal. It maybe new, maybe different, but still - normal. However, it is not possible, ...

CRACOW SONIC SOCIETY | meeting #127: Ancient Audio VINTAGE OSLO | POLAND/Krakow

KTS Text: Rysiek B., Wiciu, Bartosz, Wojciech Pacuła Images: Rysiek B., Wiciu, Bartosz, Wojciech Pacuła Meeting 127 August 1, 2020 he world must be changing, since even Janusz listens to YouTube from his computer ..." - This is how an e-mail from Jarek Waszczyszyn started on a May day. As you surely remember, he is the owner of Ancient Audio and co-owner of FRAM. Janusz in question is one of the hosts of the Cracow Sonic Society meetings, grounded at home along with millions of other people due to the coronavirus pandemic. The whole CSS has also been grounded. We found a way around social distancing the last time, preparing a "correspondence" meeting where people could simply talk about what they were doing at that time, what they were passionate about in audio and music, what turned them on. You can find a report from this virtual meeting HERE (in Polish). Since it turned out ...

KRAKOW SONIC SOCIETY | Meeting #125: 1ST PRESS – what is it? | POLAND/Krakow

⌈ The Definition of a first pressing or pressed vinyl record, is a record that was pressed from the 1st original masters. There seems to be some controversy between record collectors of what is a first pressing as opposed to first issues. source: www.mootzproductions.com, accessed ” 12.02.2020 ⌋ | Text: Wojciech Pacuła lready this brief introduction introduces an element of uncertainty to the topic of the "1st press LP". And the matter could seem simple - we're just talking about the first pressing of a vinyl, right? That is one, that was released by the record label at the very beginning, as soon as the title was introduced to the market. As you will see, it is much more complicated. Let's quote the www.mootzproductions.com again, with the article entitled How Do We Define A First Pressing Or Pressed Vinyl Record?: An important point is that it is possible ...

⌈ ABBEY ROAD album by The Beatles, released on September 26th 1969, only in stereo, on LP. In 1987, the first official version of Compact Disc was released, and on 09/09/2019, the first digital REMASTER was released for sale. On the 50th anniversary of the album's original release, a REMIX was presented. We compare three digital versions of this album. ⌋ bbey Road is the eleventh album of the Beatles and the last one that they recorded. It just so happens that the last album released by the Big Four was Let it Be and it was remembered as the "farewell" album. However, this does not change the fact that the Abbey Road, presented on September 26th 1969, is the band's best, musically most mature release. Fifty years later its new, remixed version was released. In addition to the basic material that was originally published, we received discards from the recording session ...

KRAKOW SONIC SOCIETY | Meeting № 123: DIRK RAEKE in Cracow | Transrotor Alto TMD, i.e. vinyl discs in digital times | POLAND/Krakow

| VINYL – THE KIND OF WEIRD THING ape | It is a bit pushy and a little forceful, but I cannot help it, as I want to be honest – both with you and myself. The thing is that, for many years, I have been trying to present the world of vinyl to you from a different perspective than is normally assumed. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I wrote that the word “analog” is not synonymous with “vinyl” already several years ago. I went even further and said something that brought about a small avalanche of emails – not even “hater” ones (I have received two, maybe three messages of this kind in my career), but ones that could be called “surprised”. They were full of concern and characterized by no aggression, but the message was clear and possible to summarize in one question: “Are you out ...
