[quote user="Paul S"] … When I listen before I switch to battery, then listen after I switch, the unit starts sounding better and better over about 5 minutes, then it improves very slowly like it does on wall polwer, depending on how long I've warmed...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi sorry to have wandered off topic, I am listening at the moment to an MSB Platinum Dac III, hoiping to get the lavry back for comparison, I believe the MSB is multi bit based on a ladder resistor , with 4 24 bit DAc m...

I sound as moronic as it could be but I found myself straggling with new thing. I am experimenting now with a new AD/DA processor in my system and to my big surprise my addiction to the Synopsis digital cables is nailing me down.
As now I have 4 AES...

Here are my notes on adapters. I am not an engineer so I do not have further explanations readily available but could probably dig them out.1) It is physically impossible to make an RCA male or female with an impedance of 75 Ohms, so all digital RCA ...

[quote user="manisandher"] Did you ever try this?[/quote] Nope, I do not yet but I know people who did and who report very positive results. I think there are even some commercial companies who did it. I spoke with Lavry people, trying to commission ...

I use dual wire mode from Pacific and single wire mode from Lavry. I do not think that there is a difference between single and dual wire modes if the mixer is done properly. I prefer dual wire modes as Lynx clock slaving works very stupidly in dual ...

It is truly perfect evening here, in the Romy the Cat’s castle. The weather today in Boston is phenomenal, temperature just spot on, with no wind of humidity. I woke up just 15 minutes before the BSO broadcast, warmed up the Milqs, Schwarz and Lavry....

Romy Hi, I completely understand your feelings towards the Hi-Fi trade and reviewers , I now ( since I started to represent cessaro ) grasp how the system works and it is often not a particulary noble or honest world , all I want is a dec...

Romy,I'm not sure how "transparent" you find the Lavry etc AD/DAs, but since you have them, it might not be difficult to throw in an adjustable digital delay; eg these chips from TI http://focus.ti.com/paramsearch/docs/parametricsearch.tsp?family=ana...

Related to posts on other threads, I recall noting that the Model Two's clock frequency is slightly off 44.1 KHz.With the Model Two in Master mode, the Weiss AFI1 reads the clock frequency as something like 44.08 KHz (I'm not in the UK right now, but...

[quote user="manisandher"] What I'm having more difficulty with is playing 176.4/192KHz sample rate files with the Model Two in Master mode. The Model Two can only output a clock at 1x or 2x 44.1KHz or 48KHz. My AFI1 cannot double the clock frequ...

First of all I had a good conversation with Lynx people. Pacific is very well known to them unit and many of their customers use it. They suggested as the most typical application for their customers to slave Lynx from Pacific in A/D mode and to ...

I never hit such a huge jackpot as I just did with the Lavry DA-924. The most funny in that even that I did it absolutely blindly. I had some minor beef with DA-924 sound: upperbass/lower midrange and the slightly too much extended HF (very very clea...

If you read my site or talk to me then you know that I am very much not a proponent to dummy idea of balancing specific problems of playback system by using specific complimentary cables. I always tend to use individually neutral components with ...

Regarding the Lynx post above, I thought you'd be doing the A/D to rip
your FM broadcasts. My bad. I should have read more
carefully.
Nevertheless, if you have the Lavry DAC, what I'd do (and what I've
done) is get yourself a mother...

Today I was trying to make some experiments. I made some recodings to my reel-to-reel machine from LP. I did not go crazy and ran fairly poor cables just off my preamps. It was BASF 486 at 15ips ½ track. It was not bad, in fact quite good....
