[quote user="decoud"]So the ambition is low, and I am after a simple solution prioritizing these things, but the question of general interest is whether anyone has found an elegant way of turning the constraints of space into a virtue [/quote] We...

hi Romy. Nice topic! I have a very nice memory. I started very young, supported by a friend who tought me a lot and gave me books to study. I learned the basic formulas and started DIY speakers from purely technical perspectives, graphs, math, calcul...

[quote user="Paul S"]J, I hope you know by now that I really don't care about anything audio but my own results, except that I actually like sharing about this a little. Very specifically, I have absolutely no interest in trying to convince anyone o...

Tokyo is no longer the electronics center of the world. But in the Akihabara district, there are still a lot of physical electronics / audio parts shops that DIY people should keep in mind.
These shops are generally mom-and-pop sized and may carr...

[quote user="decoud"]N-set, if we are at the level of worrying about solder, does it not make sense to drop RCA connectors, and their inherently village design, and switch to something better specified like BNC? Is this not otherwise a little like ta...

[quote user="StylinLP"] The thing is, there has been many many speakers like these offered in the last 15 years and they never got any attention. [/quote] You are right that there were many speakers like these offered in the last years but you wrong ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Murat, this latest information from you has gotten you farther along than you might suppose at this time. From what you now say, it sounds like 6 months would be a minimum amount of time for you to spend getting a sense of the S...

I don't know about the SMS but a few people have tried to clean up the Behringer DCX. I pulled all digital correction out of my system before investigating further but found some interesting mods to the output stage during investigation last year...

Yes, decoud, looking at it like this, it does seem like it would just be a matter of time, money, and some working electrical knowledge before one found an acceptable alternative. One bonus of the DIY route might be that it could incorporate a larger...

Thorsten Loesch who came up with the mods, details what caps and why on the first page of this thread. Lacking interest for multiple years of auditioning caps, I just built it that way (2012 or so) and have had no urge to change anything. Romy has pi...

Hello Romy,I thought we were just discussing technical issues around tonearm bearings with a focus on the peciuliarities of the bearing used in my arms. I have no intention to sell you anything. As stated in my first posting, I do not want to convert...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]From what you describe I can conclude that your DAC is not good. You said you use DIY wireless DAC with tube output. I do not know what wireless mean in this context, but it is not important. I also know do not like any tub...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not care about all of Nilsson Pass amps; I feel that all the same and all are very sub-qualified. A few years back Mr. Pass went for his low-powered SS single-ended amps and they might be more interesting. The Cat[/qu...

Why use the GM70 apart from its power potential? For one thing, it seems to require literally lethal voltages to become remotely listenable. Is it really "that" linear, to insist on it?But my experience with GM70 is quite imited. I ...

The “Enjoy His Music” published the old celebrated by many DIYers Herb Reichert’s article about his 300B amp ideas.

Romy,
No, the DAC was not set at maximum level (for best sound) while Cyrille listening to the system. It was set at normal volume for the whole system. When Cyrille dropped by, I was showing him the Field Coil open baffle speaker system which con...

A bit of the background. Before acquiring the PP, the whole system had been moved from it's previous location in Gdansk to a new one in Warsaw. New, busy city, new apartment, new electricity. Straight after the move and connected to the new house...

The Thread was written from Romy 2006, I don't know when I read it the first time but it was an eye opener for me. In a way, one of the very best Analysis ever written.
6 years later (2012) every single sentence is still valid about morons, idiots,...

Hi,Thanks for the response. I came here through searching for

Hi Roman et al!Allow me to introduce myself. I have followed with amusement Romy the Cat for many years. He is ascerbic and ultracritical, but he does know audio. We share many tastes, like the Koetsu Onyx Platinum foir instance, on...

Scott, I do not believe that people come to audio because the love of music. In fact the “love of music” itself is some kind of vaselino-chewee term that I would like do not use. An interest in Music has nothing to do with audio. I’ve been saying thi...
