but you have just +/- described an approach to cooty fighting that is already pretty popular with the tech-ies out there. This general idea is the basis for some very sophistocated attempts to quiet lines used for lab equipment, including ...

PaulSince we all have different ears I can only give my preferences as anyone else would. Also I don't know your tastes well enough to be confident you would feel as I do. Caveats aside, I have the versions by Walter, Karajan, v.Matacic. Typically v ...

Well, Doug
My attraction to HD Radio statred from the moment when I learned that my WGBH does one less step of analog compression for DH1 compare to FM and do not use limiting-out at HD2 for live-to-tape recordings. Very promising, isn’t it?&n...

[quote user="peter foster"] I would probably start testing using TU-X1 FM OUTPUT (FIXED) as a first option. [/quote]
If you have the FIXED output then it is all “tweaking” that you need to do. Bothe of my TU-X1 were export version and both outputs w...

Paul S,I usually do not compare source components (or amplifiers or cables or etc.) in this fashion, DAC vs DAC, CDT vs CDT etc. unless I feel two (or more) of then (may) be too similar, like Lampizator and AN UK DACs I like. I prefer to focus integr...

Well, I think the in this inquiry would be the use of CEC TLOX transport. If you do putting together a system from the ground up then it is arguable if it makes sense to commit yourself with CEC TLOX. This transport is from the last century and i...

[quote user="manisandher"]I asked Dave Peck of Avid (formerly Euphonix) a few questions regarding the Model Two (otherwise known as the PMI). The responses he received from Keith Johnson (one of the original designers of the PMI, head of Referenc...

I spent a bigger part of day today to finish the “End of Life" Phonostage, there were many things to do but it is now over. Done! Complete! Amen! I it closed up and sat in it’s permanent place.
A few observations looking back. First, I spent a LOT...

I have to admit that some of my opponents might consider my organizational views on high-end audio too socialistic and will recognize in my view some residues of me growing up in socialistic society. Leaving aside the prejudicial and completely fooli...

Do not believe me, I do not believe myself! I would like to tell you honestly that if this thing would be said by other person I would accept it as a pure BS because I have no reasoning to believe that it might be true…. but it is what actually what ...

Dear Romy,K-Stereo receives a digital data feed, performs a bit-rate conversion in preparation for internal processing, then as a last step optionally performs dither for the reduced word length digital output. The machine contains an internal ...

Yeah, the delay is the rub. I know that it's sacrilege, but at this
moment going digital with an additional A/D/D/A stage is probably the
best way to do it. I know a couple electronic geeks that could design a
high resolution analog delay, but the...

Jorge,
You're right about using identical amps. No doubt.
I have not used Dr. Edgar's passive network but I have tried conventional passive networks on Edgarhorns. They worked alright.
And I have...

Today every Design (even the most stupid ones) will have - or have - a Fan group. High End Audio actually used to have a goal:
Perfect reproduction of the sound of real music performed in a real space. That was found difficult ...

Here is an article by Leonard Norwitz that I think some of you might find motivating. I do not know Mr. Norwitz but it sounds like dinked too mach Qvortrup’s coca-cola. Anyhow, although I do not agree with some (sometimes many) of the Mr. Norwitz’s c...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Actualy I did not take the pinkfishmedia analysis too serious. I have absolutely no idea how to interpret the results of the analysis. [/quote]No one really knows at this stage (the tool is very new), apart from the obviou...

[quote user="George"]Have you tried recording and playing vinyl with your computer and the Lavrys? Even though the source is completely different than FM perhaps you might get acceptable results for some recordings?? Any success would be a great...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, this is interesting. I my case nether neither CEC nor Bidat affect other of the tuners. Lavrys do but not Bidat. Try to put ferrite on ALL Sansui inputs: antenna, power cord, output cables. I have 3 bids on each leg of ...

Bob, I have two questions to ask
1) Why I selected the 24/96 format? Isn’t the 48x sampling rate completely moronic rate if the 16/44 CDs are still the target?
2) Also, I wonder if you apparently so like to do it then why do n...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I pulled today from my shelf my collection of earliest Denon PCM recordings on LP the Denon record in end of the 78s. I generally do not like this entire series but the first releases where OK, not as good as then might be...

LED facade:Mind blowing!One thing is LED in the circuit as an indicator lamp or, say, SS bias and another is a LED bulb.The bad element in the bulb is the RF generator. The LEDs in the bulbs are not fed with DC or line freq. but withRF square wave. S...

Mani, a month or so ago you posted a question at this site asking how possible to use Pacific as the ONLY DAC in playback. Sine at that time you deal with Pacific was pending we decided to remove the post in order do not create unnecessary agitations...

Mani, congratulations with Pacific.
You will not have problems to drive with balanced Pacific your single-ended amp. Juts buy a good quality XLR to RCA adapter or order XLR to RCA cable and you will be set. You do not even need to care about t...

Last time we wrote you thought I should focus less on tweeters and more on midbass.I am not done yet, but I have found a very nice midbass solution. Somewhat unorthodox, maybe.I have come to love police sirens! Without having A/B compared it to a pai...

Much clearer with the drawings; thanks again, Romy. So, if I listen to my old jazz LPs recorded live at The Village Gate with the DSP-Z9 on that setting I would be getting a double dose of ambience, along with the extra stuff the recording engineers ...

[quote user="N-set"] Romy would you care to elaborate on that a bit? In particular have you hear amorphous/silver combination?[/quote] Nope I never had it and even f I did it would be difficult to generalize anything. I had only once a fully silver...

Sure, old records are noisy, bandwidth-limited, etc., but perhaps there are ways to mitigate some of these problems, to help even audiophiles get to the special performances available only through older mecanical media? If noise is the big...

i am using the digital output on the 828 Mk3 so can't comment on the sound except that i have no issues with it.
the card has one coax and two optical digital outputs and a whole bunch of analog balanced ones which i don't use.
