I have to admit that some of my opponents might consider my organizational views on high-end audio too socialistic and will recognize in my view some residues of me growing up in socialistic society. Leaving aside the prejudicial and completely fooli...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The idea was very simple: to convert the C filter into RC filter, to employ the Silicon Carbide Schottky rectification diodes that showed themselves so nice in 6-ch Melquiades and to beef up the preamp with large bet...

With the recent changes on my configuration changes and employing the “End of the Live Phonostage”, in duty I re-thinked my analog playback. I got rid to arms and one deck, changed the mapping between the arms and phonostages and ended up with quite ...

I made first set of test with one PP2000 vs. two PP2000 driving my enter playback. All grounds were lifted on the load side. The presence of second PP2000 did not made sound bright as before, the second PP2000 sits sufficiently far from the first...

Yep, I fixed it. If does sound very good now, exactly how it has to be. It turns out that my suspicion were correct: my Micro’s fat cable has died on me. I absolutely assure you that no one would believe that a regular phono cable able to introd...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do like the assembly. I o not fine it messy at all BTW. I would like to have inputs slightly closer to the grid of the first tube..[/quote]I'd prefer to have the ground terminals much closer to the ground plane and more o...

[quote user="KOTriode"] The Melquiades give me inspiration to build this 6C33C amplifier. It's on a stereo chassis that has few unique features - Vacuum tube rectifier separately for Input/Driver and Output tubes. - Regulator using the same tube ...

[quote user="mem916"]Hi Romy,
Yes I would love to hear the same segment from your analog setup for comparison. I think it would be very interesting even though there are so many variables that it probably doesn't tell me much in an absolute ...

That was very interesting post, here are some thoughts of my about it.
[quote user="KOTriode"]Romy, No, the DAC was not set at maximum level (for best sound) while Cyrille listening to the system. It was set at normal volume for the whole sys...

Yep, another TT but what does it mean “Analog is Back” and “new hope for the discriminated analog Audiophile”? This language is a crap that industry and armature cheerleaders develop to pump themselves and others up. However, in my view this lang...

I have one of my newest Micro Seiki RX-5000 sitting in basement for years and doing nothing and I decided to let it go. I was keeping it for year as some kind of back up TT, in case my 8000 got broken or as TT that I would be able to use at...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Rakesh,I think you’ve missed the accent of my battery post. We do not argue abstract topologies but we argue the validity of topology in respect to sonic results. I hope we all agree that we do not exactly know WHY affect...

[quote user="ArmAlex"]Dear Romy,Try EAR 312. it may help.[/quote]There is a very little info about the EAR 312 and I do not know if it is “stronger”.
Wherever I looked I was not able to find the output impedance numbers. It looks like the preamp us...

…and since it is in LL line I presume that it might be right along with LL2 Preamp – not particularly interesting preamp. In other words it is most likely the “positively expected” and “might be interesting” continuation of the L1 and L2 line.

It possible that those systems exist but I never heard about them and even I think it is too late to invent the thing for record playing but I still do like the idea.

It is not a the thread about Allnic but LCR RIAA correctors, still there was something expressed in here about the Allnic LCR phonocorrector… and I feel bad about it. It is not that I don’t think that Allnic LCR phonocorrector deserve positive m...

[quote user="KOTriode"] Thank you for the comment on this amp, this is my first time of using the 6C33C tube, I decided to build this amp after reading about the Melquiades, this amp is just a quick experiment on the 6C33C sound, since I have a s...

Byzantine Empire and PurePower.[quote user="spytsi"] Everybody here remembers that Romy's initial acquaintance with PP products was through model 1050; at some later point he upgraded to model 2000. Since then quite a few user opinions appeared ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In the 2008 I have a few immediate goals:
1) Finalize the 6-chennals version of Super Melquiades and integrate it with Macondo

[quote user="George"] Even though a PS Audio and others create a perfect AC sine wave this does not seem to be the answer, even for low draw front end components. It seems that some type of problem is still coming through. [/quote]
