[quote user="Alex Yakovlev"]Romy, would you mind elaborating on specifics of your power supply? My Bidat is going to John in a couple of weeks and I am finalizing my thoughts. Thank you.[/quote]
I do not have any “specifics of my power supply” as I ...

[quote user="kodomo"]I dont think a standart klipschorn would satisfy the cat. I had one, then I heavily modified it and in the end I built my full scale horn system. I still keep that modded khorn system as a second system.If I may suggest, if you u...

IMO, any sonic benefits from running Lowthers stock are totally swamped by excessive, ragged response that is generally (but not steadily...) rising - a lot - toward HF. There have been many ideas for "taming the Lowther", and here is another one, b...

Hi Romy and all forum members,I've been following this entire
thread for a couple of weeks now, since I came to know about PurePower
products. Needless to say this was a source of valuable information
regarding bad off-the-wall

People never seem to run out of ideas to "improve" the stock Lowther, do they? Ironically, the newer stock Lowthers feature a rolled-edge whizzer that is supposed to be there specifically to reduce "shout" compared to the older/outgoing model t...

[quote user="Paul S"] But i think the "reviewer" valuations are more like the Stock Market, where "value'" is literally nothing more than whatever people will pay at any given moment.[/quote] Well, if you know the shadow mechanisms that run stock mar...

Adrian, I wrote extensively about the TAP in its own thread. Given good electricity, the pairing of K&K and TAP is a pretty clean gain path for the cartridge, with far more range, color, etc. - everything you'd want - in the end than the pr...

One thing I can say about the iDAT 44+ is that there really isn't much to it, ie, don't buy one for its parts count. It has a small power supply/regulation, for sure; small caps and not a lot of them; a few small chokes and a small Torroid...

Hi i am a new forum member and recently i built some speakers using Altec model 19 components 416-8b & 802 G. I built some 7.5 cu ft cabinets with two 4" diameter 5" deep ports this is the optimum cabinet size for the 416 i ditched the 811 horns ...

MSA, you know I am doubtful of Romy's design, but still I have to ask if are you saying you can put your fingers on the plywood of a stock A7 bin and not feel it vibrate during play? Also, whether I crossed mine at 500 Hz or 800 Hz, I could "hear th...

[quote user="Jack 14"]Hi, these ones are Russian military stock: see that no mica elements have been used in their construction, like the US Bendix Red Bank tubes (used in US ICBMs of the '50's-'60's). Old Soviet ICBM spare stock ?[/quote]It's v...

And considerably more expensive because it's made from custom-cut heavy plate stock (with more waste) rather than generic extruded stock (with little or no waste).But that never stopped you before...Best regards,Paul S...

I have to agree with Wellington. To be fair we both use stainless steel platters (heavier than stock) and use CU-180 mats to damp the platter which ensures an almost dead platter, way better than any acrylic, hard rubber and felt mat I have tried. St...

Stitch, I hope you understand that my great-sounding "American/Canadian" i-DAT 44+ is made from the cheap and tacky stock i-DAT 44, which is quite inexpensive but also not interesting, IMO. God knows where the stock unit was actually made, but it is...

HiFi store in the Czech Republic is an excellent, knowledgeable dealer and more than reputable. PurePower did have a 3 week shipping delay in December for the 3000 while we resolved a parts quality problem from a vendor. The engineering delay was exa...

Hello everyone,I have excellent news from Fane. After checking their old stock, they have now found and have confirmed that they have sufficient old stock of the 8 ohms or 16 ohms voice coils to offer everyone ordering a choice of 8 or 16 ohms.Qu...

I been telling to people for years that there is a huge community of audio retards who made own business to be every-present with audio community with a sole purpose to promote various business ventures or own fear of being themselves. The Audio Asyl...

Well, I do not care one way or another and I truly have no “concern”. I have my drivers; I think I have some spare – so why would I care about new productions. It is very possible that the new productions will be identical to the old production or ev...

Very good! It is very interesting how you will find the 834PT. Even in stock version (but with OK tubes) I found it demonstrate some interesting qualities. Do not use the 834PT output attenuator of you have one on the unit and make sure that the ...

Just for the record, Sadurni uses a Behringer DCX2496 for the low fq. I might speculate the DCX solves more problems in low fq than it causes, but don't know as I have not compared it side-to-side to other solutions. I've found the DCX is not an acc...

[quote user="drdna"] Honestly for now, the character of the tuner is unobtrusive enough that I notice mostly the problems I have with the preamplifier and the electricity. However, I would be interested about what you had thought at this point to be ...

Some time ago I got a bunch of Euro-style tire weights, which I have long used to add mass to my tonearms (at the headshell). This style of weight is thin lead strips of nominal 7g sections, each of which has peel-and-stick self-adhesive. Strip...

OK, I think I need to help to poor Rakesh to sell his Fanes. If he do not find his 50 buyers then he will be suffer from need to buy all of them as the ugly Fane people will not give him a break, selling o him as many drivers as he has managed t...

Hi Adrian,There is a bit of a misconception, here. Please let me clear it up.All North American 120 volt PurePower models including the 1500, 2000 and 3000, are available either from stock or with no more than a one week ship date and have been throu...

Another thing to think about along with larger batteries for the PP is the charging process, which needs to be "shaped" to make best use of the particular battery or batteries, including maximizing battery life. Also, if the stock PP2000 uses se...
