KRAKOW SONIC SOCIETY, Meeting No. 94:
Dirk Sommer & Birgit Hammer-Sommer | Sommelier Du Son
Gerhard Hirt | Ayon Audio IN KRAKOW | POLAND

t is hard to say what it is about the vinyl to make the technology that was thought to disappear some twenty years ago still very much alive. It is put down to the culturally embedded presence of the turntable or to the fact that vintage is in vogue. Some emphasize the celebration associated with vinyl LP playback, others point out the artistic value of cover art, while still others bring up the superior sound quality. Regardless of how we interpret the triumphant comeback of the black disc to the market, the fact remains that it is again one of the main music formats used by serious audio enthusiasts. Have you noticed that it has become common to use the names ‘analog disc’ and 'analog' interchangeably? The reason for the shift of the semantic field of the latter seems clear: it was intended to provide a clear distinction between digital audio systems, i.e. the Compact Disc, and the ...

KRAKOW SONIC SOCIETY | Meeting No. 93:
Audiodesksysteme Gläß THE CD SOUND IMPROVER from GERMANY

HOW THE KSS GAINED ITS POLISH The 93rd meeting of the Krakow Sonic Society has been arranged at the request of wykop.pl and related web portals. This report from the meeting is intended for people who like to think and act. I would like to apologize to all those who only like to think and assure them that even though audio is an area of experimentation and testing, we will also have their needs in mind. But not this time yet. kicked off the meeting by expressing my enormous outrage at the fact that six months had passed since our previous meeting. Half a year! You got to be kidding me! For over ten years we used to meet at least once a month, usually more frequently, and suddenly such an embarrassment. Having said that, I need to exercise self-criticism and confess that this has largely been my fault. The visit of Raveen Bawa from dCS was supposed to be a prelude to a series ...

KRAKOW SONIC SOCIETY: RAVEEN BAWA AND VIVALDI (Data Conversion Systems).Two gentlemen in Krakow - meeting No. 92

Capella Cracoviensis, or the “absolute sound” apella Cracoviensis is one of the most distinguished orchestras on the Krakow music scene. It was founded in 1970, three years before I was born, by Stanisław Gałoński who was its conductor and musical director until 2008. Although he was successful for many years, in the end he lost its identity and began a gradual descent into the hell of mediocrity. I perfectly remember the controversies, pickets, petitions and demonstrations of civil disobedience, when on November 1st, 2008, Jan Tomasz Adamus became the new director of this institution. The title of the Facebook page created back then really shows people’s mood: “Save Capella Cracoviensis”, whose aim was to remove the new director. To this day it was liked by 273 people. An average web bot has ten times as many fans. To understand the scale of ...

KRAKOW SONIC SOCIETY: Meeting No. 91, JOHN ZUREK, “POSITIVE-FEEDBACK ONLINE”, in Krakow (Poland)

Hello Wojciech, My name is John Zurek, I am a reviewer for Positive Feedback. I am a Polish-American (all four of my Grandparents came from Poland) who has never been to Poland. I will be in Europe on business in October, and after that is complete I hope to also visit Warsaw and Lodz. I know you live in Krakow, but I was wondering if you may know any Polish audiophiles in these cities that I may be able to meet while in the country. My time in Warsaw will just for fun and sight-seeing. Lodz will be different. When my father passed I recently discovered documents that lead me to believe I may have some relatives in Lodz. I will try to find them. Any recommendations you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Dziękuję bardzo, John Zurek [Ed. note: original ending, tranlating “Thank you very much”] nd how can you not help such a guy. Slowly ...
