Post Subject: Mani, are teasing me?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 3/25/2011

I do not know folks, I never was happy with isolation transformers. Perhaps I did not have the right isolation transformers but what I had was not good enough. Perhaps we have different electricity problem in my and your countries…. Whatever I had made sound like pale paint and it always ruined bass. Perhaps one my say that I am a product of PP2000’s dynamic bass anaphases but I am so accustomed and so on love with that PP2000 bass (of the PP2000 not faulty) that I could not live with something that do not do it for me. It is not able the “emf” effect but rather some strange feeling of Dymick the goes all the way into very ULF region, literally infinitely low. I do understand that PP2000, with all that switching nose that it creates, is basically a radioactive waste that is sitting right in the middle of my playback but unfortunately I did not see any other solution that in my view can measure up in Sound to PP2000. I wish I did, I would be gladly get rid of the PP2000.

There is another thing that drive me nuts in isolation transformers. Yes, they shall be filtering anything at HF but in reality they are not. If you put a scope with 20kHz noise on primary then you will have the same noise on the secondary – did it many-many times. I do not mention the wave deformation – a clipped sinusoid is still clipped in secondary.

Still, I am very interested that Mani’s report that his transformer sounds like PP2000 from battery (he has apparently broken PP2000). Mani’s did you really means it or you just teasing me?
