That's a lot of cable. Where do you hang it?? And doesn't that roll off the sound? Although maybe the Bose artificially inflates what is rolled off etc. Audio is one of the few places where two wrongs can make it right....

Adrian, can you confirm whether you were using cable with shielding or without? Like you I had the buzzing go away when on battery or without PP2000 in system. It became dead silent. Then with PP2000 back in system there was buzzing. I went to all sh...

Guys, do you shield your dedicated powe lines?I'd have around 9m of a cable unning in the air from the apartment's power distibution box to therack. For me it looks like a nice antena for picking EMI/RFI trashfrom the air. Such shielding indirectly s...

Not specs, but sound. To that end, like I've been saying, pure copper or pure silver, no plating. There is also a cable thread.Best regards,Paul S...

Unless they process it somehow (cry?). I was going to order copper bus bars from a machinist friend but I realized copper as it is is way too soft for reliable screwed cable connections.M4 or M5 screws hosted in copper will not stand much torque and ...

Looks like I've found a solution but I don't understand it:
1) Lifting the phono ground from the PP with a cheater plug and connecting the phono case to the SAME PP ground with a separate cable not only does not bri...

I would like to congratulate readers of my site with New Year. Best wishes to you and your families, unless you are a republican or an Audio-Moron. The new year will brings all of us closer to the end of the world, I guess we need to make sure that...

I thought of filling with sand braided multifilament nylon cable sleeving (http://cableorganizer.com/nylon-multifilament/) which comes in 2 inch diameter and does not expand enough to allow coarse sand to come out. It can be wrapped around as densely...

Hi Alex,Short of waving goodbye to the Bidat for a few months, you could always TRY the splitter idea from your favorite cable guy. It may be acceptable enough for your needs.Did you mean there is no space on the back of your passive/relay base...

I have had a Placette Active for some 5 years now and it was quite a revelation when I put it in my system. According to Guy Hamel one of its most important features is its powerful op-amp output stage with an output impedance of 10 ohms. Since I hav...

Trying to gather and get my thoughts in order, in order to share them, I just remembered a recent mod that John Wright happened to mention specifically. While I believe John regards - and guards - as proprietary his ideas for reworking this gear, I a...

What kind antenna you use: 300R or 75R? What the Sansui’s antenna jack you use? I presume that your “small car antenna” uses 75R coax cable and your use the75Ohm Sansui’s input? ...

In continuation to the "A new round of Pacific’s DAC listening" post.... I have a number of revisions of this little contest between two DACs in this thread and in other threads. In all of them the Lavry 924 has a little edge over Pacific Microso...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I got my last PP2000, after the repair was done. My second new unit works since I got it repaired; it runs the whole playback, sounding very well and my attempts to add a second PP2000 led, as I described to worsening o...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In here is not the value are important but the concept the you block DC not with capacitor but with an “active” resistor that backed up with positive voltage. BTW, eventually if you wish to go “kinky Milq” and have a v...

With near 1R impedance I
presume you will have multiple bass drivers paralleled. That is perfectly
legitimate way to operate but there are a few things you might consider. The mistakes at 1R are more effective then at high impedance.
If you have...

Gentlemen:
Thank you for taking the time to consider my post on music servers. You always get more than you bargain for at the Good Sound Club...

Today’s prices in Hi-Fi do not base upon any other principle then “whatever market bears”. The luck of objective evaluation methods and the completely un-liberated market of Hi-Fi consumers make the “market bearing” principles being completely not ap...

Hi Mats:
Thanks for the update. I find the Lavry DA-11 to be an interesting unit, not because of all the "features" but because of Mr Lavry's long history producing serous DACs and the consumer-friendly pricing. I do wish that Mr Lavry did...

Romy, I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.
In your current setup, you are using the internal Lynx wordclock. In this case, the Lynx may well 'shut down' the external BNC wordclock cable. But that's not what I'm concerned with.
W...

Hm, ended, I have learned something. I did use fat wired
only once where I was running cable to my midbass horn at my old house. In
there I had 75 feed and I went with 2Ga welding wire, I cat them off and I
still have them. I did not think about i...

Guy,I absolutely disagree and I think there is a huge difference between lettings your wife to know that skin in her neck remind you sesame chicken and letting a play director know that his new production stinks. Of course we moderate our behavior in...

Last week I had a date with my Psychotherapist (every serious Audiophile needs one when he is above 40 and Al - his name is Al Right - charges only 165$/h, he is an Audiophile and a good guy. In his waiting room I met my old buddy De - his name i...

Jessie,
Actually the tendency of manufactures to isolate ground becomes almost common among any more or less serious manufactures nowadays. The main’s ground is so polluted in US hat it is scare… or even dungarees. I remember a few years ago when I...

[quote user="Romy"] I see a problem. Sine you have 8 meters interconnects I presume that it a relatively large room with speakers positioned relatively far. This way your common remote control will drive two Placette passive units located a few meter...
