Regarding combined driver diaphragm area for ULF: Romy wrote: "...I disagree that using a bunch of 10" drivers is some kind of compromised in way. The six 10” drivers give me a surface of 2.3 18” drivers..." I recognize the relative and impo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Still the key is to treat the cables, all cables that go into tuner and into the processors. Do not forget that you have a perfect loop: tuner goes to preamp, as in the same time tuner goes to A/D-DAW-D/A- preamp. So, you...

Thanks Romy, I'll try connecting with an XLR to RCA cable. I've actually ordered a Henry Matchbox HD also because I can use it elsewhere if it doesn't help in this particular case. In any event, I'm hoping to share some thoughts on the Model 2's ...

As usual, great advice Romy. Cables…. It is all depends of the cable and current.At it's highest 2.5V setting, the FryKleaner Pro passes ~25mA current. I don't know if it scales proportionally for the lower 0.78V & 0.25V settings at ~8mA or ~0.25...

[quote user="from email"] …. I have the valves etc. for the Melquiades but have not built it yet. I have begun thinking about the preamplification stage. Right now it is just purely passive. Is this not the optimal input for the Melquiades? [/quote] ...

Thanks all for the replies! Looks like a very risky business.Given the work involved and highly unsure effect, I'll happily skip the shielding. Your comments suggest that the high capacitance line to ground (which the shield would happily provide) is...

can this be anything else but futile?1) If analogue the first thing be the cart, if digital the payer?2) If analogue the phono cable being the MOST important one in the whole system, and could yield some noticeable improvement.3) Has the system got a...

"Success" equals better except for added hum? How lucky is APS to have customers like this?!?Any dimmer switches within a mile and a half of the system? Any variable inductors connected anywhere in the house? Root out anything like ...

Audio-hoarding is something that I am very thoughtful about. Admittedly I have quite a bit of stuff in storage but it ALL has to do with the current Macondo/DSET build and will soon all be in its place. I don't even own the speakers that I am liste...

Almost all such hum finds its way into your audio signal path through a ground loop, although it is technically possible for AC 50/60 cycle hum to enter from adjacent unshielded power cables. Make sure the AC cable to the phono is well shielded and i...

Romy,That's true that this resistor have negative impact on sound quality. You can run your 6E5P without it as long as you do not get parazitic oscillation.Just connect screen grid and plate electrodes right on tube socket, using shortest possible ca...

J, I hope you know by now that I really don't care about anything audio but my own results, except that I actually like sharing about this a little. Very specifically, I have absolutely no interest in trying to convince anyone of anything audio.I di...

...Why not also try a paralleled "solid-core" (single wire per leg) cable. You can twist the paralleled wires if you wish. Proceed carefully, using about 1-1 ½" between the wires. Try silver on the return first...Just as an experiment; as you note, y...

Thanks Dave. Sounds like you have indeed bitten off a lot to chew on. At this point you might be describing cable swaps, etc. I hope you will share again when you are more comfortable with your set-up, since - for all the sharing - no one but Romy...

Adrian, no luck in finding it. It the cable thread it is not.
I've shown your post to an Australian fellow Martin who knows, among 1000 other things, a big deal about welding so he might have ideas how to weld different metals incl. tungsten....

That's excellent!I once was called to a friend's house to assess the sonic effects of a room DSP he was auditioning. I brought Kwame, my most trusted ears, along. Indeed Jack had a difficult-looking room. So we sat down to listen to some music with t...

There is another very good article with the simple resistors conversion network.

The station that I most listen to is 105.9 MHz that broadcasts from one location 50 miles away at 100kW power and that is detected by 2 FM aerials mounted as a parallel array with rotator and ~ 40 feet of coaxial cable to the TU-X1. T...

Paul, thanks again for a nice input--sounds for me indeed seductive (well, I'm anyway +/- "self-convinced" to give a silver/amo a try).Do you use silver wire also in the tonearm? What I have in mind is a 2nd, all silver path for the 834, which would ...

Mani, the neutral wire is meant to be "the" system ground, with zero potential, so it should not have any "input". It is known, however, that many factors conspire to contaminate ground wires (including the neutral wire) with electrical noises, and ...

[quote user="miab"]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 buzzin...

Paul, I've taken the pains to redo all the connections I could. Washing Deoxit away was a horror. I polished everything I could polish with a jewellery green polishing paste on a polishing cloth, and flushed the remainings with isopropanol.I then use...

[quote user="floobydust"] On a second note, you can also modify this for both adjustable AC and DC balance on seperate potentiometers. Both potentiometers would be in parallel with the filament (and padded) but you use the wipers independantly, ...

Romy, you referred us to the Horlick website. May we assume you have not gone and bought a "small" 30 HP Horlick unit? Sure, something like that might put out a "perfect", smooth, clean, full, suitable-for-hi-fi wave at 60 Hz under load, but yo...

Romy, as you know by now, most small generators are toys, really not suitable for our purposes. I have no idea where or how you found the perfect old small generator, but starting with what you have, if you can get all the wiring right, you just mig...

No question the Behringer has a ton of functionality, especially at under $300. The simple RTA is useful on the fly. I think and hope this tool will help with the MiniMe development.
I always wondered why the DEQ sounded so veiled but suspected ...
