[quote user="scooter"]What does this mean for Mr. TU-X1?[/quote]
Actually it has nothing do with TU-X1. If I record with TU-X1 I will have virtually the same result. The TU-X1 is bounded to Pacific A/D converter and Schwarz is bounded to Lavry. Schw...

I do suggest to re-read my post above where I stated that Pacific has remarkably similar sound to Bidat. In Bidat there is one quality that sets it apart from any other converters out there – the Bidat’s dynamic bursts are orders of magnitude less an...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, what I use Pacific in DD mode then Pacific and Lynx run digital circular reference and this mode does not make any sense to me, unless I do specific DD task, that I practically never do. The Cat[/quote]Yes, I see your ...

Yes, I know about the 18dB click, the question is what it is. Do they turn an extra gain stage from 18dB to 24dB? Highly unlikely! Those SS circuits have a lot of gain and a lot of feedback to manage the 6dB is very much not a problem for them. I was...

Recently I found a way to make Lavry DA-924 to sound reasonable driven by my 16-bit CD transport. That made 3 DACs available to AD my 16-bit digital steam: Pacific, Lavry and Bidat. If Bidat and Pacific sound virtually identical then Lavry has very d...

[quote user="manisandher"] The latest firmware 'fixes' this issue. The AFI1 can now work in dual-wire mode at half or full audiorate clock frequencies. [/quote]
Very good. I am impressed with Daniel’s responsiveness. I wonder how many people ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Meanwhile I did the Steinberg Waveleb test myself and the difference between it and the most common players is immense.[/quote]
The pro editing software are lights miles ways in terms of sound quality from all any Foolbars that I...

I sound as moronic as it could be but I found myself straggling with new thing. I am experimenting now with a new AD/DA processor in my system and to my big surprise my addiction to the Synopsis digital cables is nailing me down.
As now I have 4 AES...

For whatever reason people expressed a lot of interest to Pacific vs. Lavry A/D and I recently got an relatively a large number of emails, including from the people I do not even know, asking me to compare identical analog tracjs and post the foundin...

I admit that I had some interest to begin with when the Berkeley DAC was announced. I was told a year before Berkeley become available that thus guys are working on something new and I felt that whatever this team produces is worth to pay attention. ...

Since the new revised Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 become a leading recoding tuner and since I bound with Lavry A/D, the Lavry prosessor makes a good come back. The competition between Lavry AD122 and Pacific Microsonics never was finalized and I...

user="anthony"]My preferred source is a Phasure NOS1a G3 dac.
The thing has no discernible sound of it's own. It outputs 1.25VRMS SE
and I run it at -6dB because it needs a little attenuation to sound its best
which means 0.625VRMS. I d...

Hello Romy!I don´t know what you find inconvenient about the Pacific and so I don´t know whether this includes all realtime converters. The RME converters have a lot of parameters to play with and they work synchronous, so I don´t expect the "invitin...

I am sure I will not pay to my movers to move my Pacific to a new room. On Saturday, during recording of the MET the Model Two died. It thin it was a good final for this unit in my old home. So, David Peck of Euphonix will be handling it during a nex...

Pacific Microsonics are filter kings, but if the Lavry is the best hardware, wouldn´t it be nice to let it play the CDs, too? Ever tried a dCS converter?...

Rom's Hi I have been looking for something to play my CD's on, something that will make them sound more like vinyl ( whatever you want to call it, heart ,guts life ) the AMR is very well built ,looks good ,has some nice touches, sounds 'natural' but ...
|
|
Romy Hi, I apologise for the uncalled for familiarity, sadly the AMR had been whisked away before the arrival of the Lavry , it would have been interesting to experiment , I spoke to a chap today whose friend has the AMR and really likes it, he belie...

OK, after much consideration, recording and listening I made a number a final concussion about the flavors of Pacific Microsonics and Lavry Gold and now I have selected which AD/DA will be serving my FM recording. I offer for you an opportunity to se...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Yes, I have thought about it. My Placette has no tape loop but I think it needs to be added. It is shame that I did not think about it before – it would save me some cable not to mention an ability to run A/D from anyt...

[quote user="manisandher"] Have you tried this yet? If so, in percentage terms, how close do you think the digitized signal is to the original analog signal? (This is something that I'm hoping to try myself at some point, but I don't have a good ...

Yo-yo Ma will be playing Bach solo cello suites for 2.5 hours starting in a few minutes (noon Pacific Daylight Time in North America.) He has a YouTube channel and it is also carried on the website kusc.org and maybe elsewhere. I don't know what the ...

Romy, just reporting my thoughts on some dacs, The stahl-tek is the 'best' one I have heard so far , of course i haven't yet heard the new or old Pacific Microsonics yet, regards Keith....

[quote user="el`Ol"]Pacific Microsonics are filter kings, but if the Lavry is the best hardware, wouldn´t it be nice to let it play the CDs, too?[/quote]I did, the TL0 transport reads CD with so much more quality that any further experiments with DAC...

Romy Hi sorry to have wandered off topic, I am listening at the moment to an MSB Platinum Dac III, hoiping to get the lavry back for comparison, I believe the MSB is multi bit based on a ladder resistor , with 4 24 bit DAc modules,tremendous re...

Romy when you use your transport and DAC how do you connect them. What kind of putputs does the Lavry have, my pre only has xlr ( balanced ) or single ended inputs ,could I use something like the lavry, also do you have a link to pacific microsonics ...

Peter, I do not know what is doing in with AM, I do not use it and all my experiments are in FM range. You might do the following: take FM antenna out of tuner and use instead a few cm of local wire. Defeat the noise causation on Sansui and run the t...

I asked Romy the following question:
I'm contacting you because I own a Pacific Microsonics Two that I'm planning on using to playback high resolution digital files. I'm now in the process of choosing a platform, card and playing software. I k...

[quote user="manisandher"] Surely, you're not going to find anyone more knowledgeable than Keith Johnson in this respect... and he uses the Model Two in Master mode (with the Lynx card)! [/quote]
Which does not necessarily mean everything in m...

[quote user="Telstar"]. Considering their pedigree alone, it's worth a listening.[/quote]
Telstar, yes, you might be right. I do not know those peoples personally but I have opened my Pacific to serve the cooling fan and have seen HOW the unit was m...

After all I just realized that I am due to my Moronity I did not use the full capacity of Pacific Microsonics A/D. Since I have fugue it out it just open a second round of my love to this processor and I am switching to use it as my main recoding A/D...
