Recently I tested the waters of computer audio. I've been using a Sony SCD-1 transport / Museatex Bidat DAC combo for digital playback. It has been a source of enjoyment for years. My goals for trying network-based music files were:- reduce physic...

Is he saying other (lesser) phono stages are class A/B? Better, perhaps, to claim "all SET gain path"?
Yes, output impedance is (oddly...) very high; but one supposes it will mate with the newer Lamm line stages. VL also mentions that this unit ...

Romy says "what does make you to scare: the sound that orchestra produces of the meaning and Bruckner’s expressions?"
I don't think there is "meaning" in the sense of particular ideas in music. It can suggest different images or emo...

A few weeks back somebody pointed out me to a picture of this playback and I concluded that it is an idiocy. Today I had a few word with the owner of this playback and I read his articles where he describes what he is trying to do. I do not consider ...

Rowuk, first of all, I very much recommend you do not undertake the Paul’s advice and do not go for any implementation of bass with bigger drivers or more driver of different topology of bass section like OB and so on. For sure better bass would ...

Kodomo, I do not like ported sound, it always have a problem
with the way how ported enclosures present vowels. You can tune them in this
way or in that way but all of the ported systems I heard have the own characteristic
coloring vowel at the ve...

I recently dealt with two manufactures that produce music . I noted that both of them stated with good result but nowadays, years in operation, they produce despicable crap. This correlates with a famous amplifier manufacturer, very much not stup...

[quote user="Cosmos"] Anyway, as the description on our site on second paragraph says, the third 6C33 located at the back, is used as the pass element of the regulator (controlled by solid state circuitry) providing 220V with 100uV of random noise &a...

We are talking about subjective reactions so there is no way to dispute either of our responses. However, I do see a disconnect between your statements that I quoted and your subsequent post. In the first post you were talking about the Queen of Spad...

This is something I have been at for the last few years, I have tried a few drivers, at the moment some of my favorite are the vintage RCA MI 1443, yes filed coil and some funny cone diaphragm, they are used from 500 hz to 5 khz with a Fostex T...

I can’t say anything about YO-186. It looks like it is fine

This week Romy was kind enough to invite me over for a few days for some Apprentice work and philosophizing. As I alluded above, my Apprenticeship contribution consisted principally of moving some audio gear, searching for some esoteric stuff hidden ...

Romy, Some very good points here... if I downloaded the correct schematic from your site for the 6-channel Melq amp (also has the term DSET in the title) then you have created a 6-channel SET amp with built-in crossover points. Your first ...

That is kind of mysteries to me and very none expected. From the people who use DHT I heard many stories that 2.5V filaments driven by AC are less noisy then 5V or 7.5V. That is kind of self-explanatory as with higher AC voltage the more noise. S...

[quote user="drdna"] It is NOT that better tubes have no vibration. Instead, the tubes that sound best to me seem to have a sort of springy sound, like the sound of a water drop or the sound of the tabla drum being struck. [/quote]

Okay so I got the NOS Sylvania "Spring Top" dual filament 2A3 tubes and have been listening to them for a while, now I am ready to make a report on the tube.

Paul, I do not think that “before or after RIAA losses” requirement has any merit as no matter what kind type RIAA filter is being used it always will lose around 20dB. I do not think also that there is a “safest path” or “reasonably affordable”....
