Alrhough the phasure stuff does sound very good, I do not consider it to be “the bleeding edge”. I consider a preamp allergy to be very typical of those “making a point” for instance! Declaring that only 0.6V sounds good on the DAC demonstrates yet m...

Hi!English's not my mother language so I'd have advices to choose wich Melquiade could be the best for me...I read that there's a lot of different versions...and I wasn't able to email Romy because of the robot barrier.I've very good 95db Fullrange B...

Hi all.I am just supplying a couple of threads that are dealing with application and the theory behind the EnABL process I provide information on here last year. Romy, you should not go there, it will make you crazy and you will have to insult someon...

I would like to make a few comments about the entire idea of those expensive Japanese compression drivers: GOTO, ALE and alike. I have voiced the near-similar outlook about the irrational exuberance that some audio people express about electromagnet ...

Paul, thanks again for a nice input--sounds for me indeed seductive (well, I'm anyway +/- "self-convinced" to give a silver/amo a try).Do you use silver wire also in the tonearm? What I have in mind is a 2nd, all silver path for the 834, which would ...

What is the main difference in High End today and 10 years ago?Today it is possible to launch average products into the market via Internet Hype from DIY groups. No engineer would ever create such a Design which changes performance daily depending on...

The bearing might be fine and one would see up-and-down at the platter rim if the (sub-)platter was not a constant, perfect 90 degrees relative to the bearing shaft, through the 360 degrees of rotation. Many ways misalignment might happen, only a fe...

Not sure where you live, but near large cities one can rent "pro" sound equipment. Once you have your end game figured out in terms of architecture you can just plug in the Board, find and note your X/O configurations and values, then make up and in...

Hi Romy,I've tried several linestage circuits none of which have been entirely successful.I'm currently slowly building a line stage based on a choke loaded 10Y tube. See VT52.com, DIY, projects, Firefly. This is about as simple as it might get. I wi...

Haralanov, let me know if you actually have something, otherwise I will continue with the Audaphon ribbon for the first round of the downward-pitching exercise. On the one hand, I wish I'd kept the Peerless 2" paper tweeters I had; on the other hand,...

You are eating the best food in the world and then complaining that the salt doesn't taste right. Well I simply point you a way to a lifetime supply of the best Dead Sea Salt.This is an exceedingly practical solution to your problem. And a variation ...

Regarding the "complexity" of these amps :
Not being a DIY electronics guy, the Melquiades schematic makes me want to reach for a cigarette... However, naive fool that I am, having no formal training in electronics, I look at it and think to mysel...

Merlin, would you please be less cryptic?Is it one of Ralph's OTLs or a DIY, or what?What is power and what is full power bandwidth? Into what sort of load(s)?What is distortion at full power? At 1/2 power?Do you use an autoformer, o...

This thread has gotten distressingly DIY, hasn't it?But I agree entirely that the pot should be given the smallest assignment possible, meaning, pad/dial-in/isolate the hard line, as far as possible, up to the necessary-only balance range, and then i...

Thanks again, Romy. I never would have guessed that the relay-like pulse comes from a dying output tube rather than a fault with the relay itself; but that does make it lots easier to deal with!As you know, meaningful info about this amp is har...

I got new 6C33Cs for V2s from Lamm because no one else wants to match them, let alone match them for gain; but the loud thump through the speaker still happens just when one amp self-switches from warming its filaments to full-throttle oper...

Actually I do not see any fundamental differences between production and homemade speakers and I do not know why you put the home made speakers as something by default more superior to the productions models. You see, it is not about the speakers as ...

I visit here daily and the motivation is based on a couple of things:1) a view that life including audio is work in process and that we are never finished, rather have times of activity and other times of enjoyment2) a desire to be able to describe t...

Paul, I've been definitely looking at the DIY CNC "market" for ideas!! Esp. regarding the frame construction.The problem is that they are happy once all the frame resonances go to 3-5Hz, so they usea lot of mass loading. Here, my airsprings resonate ...

Of course, all the mfgs. claim their AC regenerators and correctors put out perfectly shaped, perfectly clean sine waves, and they also say that this is why their devices "work" (and never mind if they don't actually work...). But people who use...

I like to use different sources and kinds of music for sound evaluations. For instance, I might use some interesting, well-recorded jazz, then move up to something more complex, as you have done. The jazz tells me some things pretty ...

The subject of line filters and uninterruptable power supplies is one that has been pretty free of amateur DIY myths. No one seems to know what makes one sound good or bad and when. The subjects getting attention are IsolationReconstruction of sine w...
