[quote user="manisandher"] I'm actually not advocating anything to you Romy. I'm just asking whether you are bonding your dedicated ground to Neutral. If so, I can't see how cheater plugs would help in your situation - your dedicated ground and your ...

Brass instruments function much differently than audio horns. First of all they are built extremely resonant by mismatching length and horn taper. The taper of the bell is there not for horn type efficiency, rather to change the acoustical length of ...

In his RMAF the Federated Mike post some comments about his use of ML3:

Even though his comments from my point of view have “issuers” but Mike’s comments sti...

We are so overly familiar with the music of the Romantic era (and to a lesser extent with some 20th century orchestral music) that we tend to overestimate the importance of dynamics overall in music and in listening. Obviously, abrupt and frequent dy...

Well the marketing power can change dirt into gold, we all know that. I have no problems with manufacturers who offer "such" units. We, the customers (especially here in this Forum) are fixed on the quality of sound. Some years ago there was a meetin...

Merlin here is the Stereophile measurements on the Lamm ML2.1http://stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/1004lamm/index4.htmlAs you can see the rise in distortion vs. frequency shows only a small rise in distortion even down to 10Hz. This is an indica...

The title of this thread would appear laughable for anyone who practices audio more than a week. This is as beaten subject as Tubes vs. SS or Mosfet vs. Bipoloar. However, with all my awareness about the popular Analog vs. Digital debate I with a...

Digital: “Binary data”Trans: “across, beyond, to the other side”-Port: “transferring or carrying”You'll note the conspicuous absence of reference to 'spinning disks'. By strict definition, a digital transport only processes data and delivers it to a ...

Hi Guy,Thanks very much for providing me your insights on the SP10.I have to confess when I initially read your comments I could not help but be astounded that a person involved with a Brit belt driven, light weight, suspended turntable would be usin...

I have the original Dannoy's. While i still have not gotten the sdound that Romy did in his room, it is still very good. Using biamped Yamaha B2 amplifiers driven by a Trinnov 16 pre-pro, recently updated by sdoftware to 20 channels. The speakers are...

[quote user="rowuk"]Do we simply not want a non-changing target? As regeneration does not seem to be „the“ solution (especially if the AC cord behind the regenerator changes bass), what does better AC even mean?Perhaps the designers of great equipmen...

Romy , I don´t think this is a typical ups unit , but a little more advanced than a typical ups . I think typical UPS does not have double-conversion , at least here in Chile . Note that Pure Power claims "via double conversion technology ..." in som...

A bit side topic but someone made a comparation with car market but I think the best comparation would be more specificaly with sports/supercars. Indeed I feel those are the same type of clients.People pay high prices for:Ferraris: very well know to ...

The model here is not that of the audio industry but of contemporary art. You have spent years refining the physical instantiation of a compelling idea. A patron now wants a piece of it. You have a workshop of assistants to make it for...

While it may be that a given "basement" operation really means to "do a better job" in terms of QA and/or sonic results, the technical difficulty (and cost) of actually doing this with tiny "critical specification" parts must be daunting, to say the ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] If the intention was to give people an experience of how large scale music/sound reproduction was or could have been 70 or 80 years ago, then the arrangement they chose was probably quite successful. A modern LF system wou...

Stitch,
the only thing that you are missing is paying attention to the OMA advertisements and truing to recognize behind it any rational beside a pimp yearling own merchandise (in fact it is not his merchandises). I told many times before tha...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also do not forget that the phonostage that you built has very lash and very polite sound. [/quote]I would like to stress the politeness and lushness of 834PT-AIR phonocorrector. This characteristic of this phonostage s...

[quote user="mem916"]I never tried the Onyx. I had an Urushi, then a Jade, and now a Coralstone. No I didn't buy any of them in the US so I paid a lot less than the crazy retail prices people throw around. I only know one person personally who...

Yep, another TT but what does it mean “Analog is Back” and “new hope for the discriminated analog Audiophile”? This language is a crap that industry and armature cheerleaders develop to pump themselves and others up. However, in my view this lang...

Hi Mats:
Thanks for the update. I find the Lavry DA-11 to be an interesting unit, not because of all the "features" but because of Mr Lavry's long history producing serous DACs and the consumer-friendly pricing. I do wish that Mr Lavry did...

Yes, Thorsten was the man
that made the initial modification in the EAR 834 and I need to note that it
was not redesign of any kind but juts basic modifications and admitting the unnecessary
things. Even though Thorsten is the industry p...
