This is sort of a sideways answer to this question, but having used power supplies with vacuum and soild state rectification, I also played with Allen Wright's SuperReg circuit and I really liked the way it sounded. A more stable and grainless feelin...

Brad Hi, I agree with you regading the bass of the Cessaro's in that Munich room, there was severe bass suck out, perhaps if you are ever over here you must pop in, I have been tryingto listen to a Vacuum State pre ( without buying one ) ...

This is Romy's unit that he let me borrow.It does produce the cleanest electricvity I've heard in my system in over 30 years of trying.A new find last night: The one amp with the problem power supply transformer is buzzing at the same frequency as th...

Looks to me like the horizontal and vertical steps in the waveform are due to the diode switching. One diode turns off while the other turns on. Storage time on the diodes is normally short. But it depends on the test setup! T...

Romy, I believe the cartridges are manufactured form Decca by JS Wright in London.The suspension is less of an issue since the Decca cartridges use a novel transducer. There is no cantilever. The stylus connects directly to a metal foil w...

[quote user="scooter"]If you are going to be sanding in your living quarters, I strongly recommend that you:1) cover the ENTIRE rug in the room; you will never get all of the dust out of the rug and will ruin most any home vacuum cleaner (alternative...

This actually LOOKS like a well-thought-out TT. Too bad the "review" is so over-awed/fawning. I can hardly read it. My suspicions rise uncontrollably and cloud my thinking as the cost-is-no-consideration "solutions" are meticulously unloaded onto th...

I've used both tube and solid-state rectification over the years and much is well documented for power supplies, i.e., old ARRL manuals, Tube manuals, etc.. In most cases small value filter caps were shown, as you really couldn't get much in la...

[quote user="jamesrm618"]The Vincent SP-T100 looks close "The SP-T100 is a hybrid mono block with tubes in the input stage where voltage is amplified. The power output Amplifier circuitry works without feedback." Nominal output power Class-A 8 Ohm: 1...

Well Romy:The format is what it is. And the idea is to encourage people to join in, share experiences, maybe be festive at this time of year...I am not here to fly to the defense of the organisers of the festival although I certainly find it interest...

I do not have a lot of equipment that uses vacuum tubes I have a phonostage and power amp that are tube based. The phonostage used 12AX7 that in there from 1999 and I think they will survive me. The power amp use gas tube 0A2, the output triodes 6C33...

In a way you can write some positive / negative about nearly every Design out there. The Micro 5000 & 8000 are 20 years old, they have 2 weak features- a Platter which rings- no suspensionBUT, when we look at their latest units, we can see that M...

I like to stress a point that the mammals that write thier doodles for audio publication are not juts ignorant fools but also the cheap, low class, falseificators. No wonder that the audio manufacturing companies do employ the so-called reviewers as ...

Last night electricity was surprisingly OK, despite of the current heat wave and that everyone runs air-conditioning and I found myself listing deep into high. It was mostly LP and I came to a few interesting observations regarding the sound of my ai...

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...

I have to admit that the live Zander’s Bruckner Fifth from the end of 2007 made me to re-think how I would like Macondo to sound. It is not that I recognized new Macondo’s “Hi-Fi problems”, whatever it has I am very comfortable with it, but I rather ...

I have recently acquired a pair of (2000 vintage, I think) Lamm ML2s and would like to share impressions and development strategies with other ML2 owners, including former owners, and perhaps I may learn from any pertinent experience.

I have no comments about it besides assuring that the company that state all of it does crap in term of Sound. Still, I find that the way in which they think about construction of the walls of their back-loaded horn worth very much attention. Tak...

There is an instrument-making in St. Petersburg, Russian, it call Kazitsky Manufacturing. Nowadays it is a typical post Soviet facility that has no interest but it has an interning history in context of Milq’s MF channel. The Kazitsky Manufacturi...

Well, I gave away my Osage AI System. The engagement with OsageAudio was a false move. After playing with AI System solution and reading everything at OsageAudio site I am confident to state that the OsageAudio is/are quite ignorant about what th...

Well, the conflict you pointed might sound reasonable but not completely.
The First quote is taken from a thread “Disregard Digital with Vacuum Tube
output”. In there I advocated do not look into D/A converters with tube output stages.
