I looks at the statistics page of my site and it looks like there were zillions Netherlandiams visiting the site. I wonder why they don’t say how the Kemp regenerator sounds. The judgment part? Well, this is an easy part....

Well,
The most miserable things about electricity that you never know what to do. I had in past different filters and mny imaginable power gismos, a number of isolated transformers, balanced transformers, regenerators…
For a couple years I was runn...

[quote user="Paul S"]Truly desperate scofflaws might find themselves so annoyed by the hum that they lift the PP2000 AC ground connection at the PP2000 chassis and run that unit's ground only to a dedicated ground (with a lower impedance, of course),...

Well, another page of my saga with APS regenerator is turned. I got the updated APS unit. It kind of “works” as I redefined the definition of word “works”. Under normal circumstances I would walk away from it but there are some moments in my “bad ele...

OK, I agree – it might be not necessary as PP2000 does produce fine electricity in a convenient package. Furthermore it violates the rule that I try to follow in audio generally: define snick objective and ONLY then render audio methods.

[quote user="Merlin"] I have … yet to hear a bass unit that can provide the low end quality whilst still allowing a first order slope. Unless we are happy to accept copious quantities of 2nd Harmonic of course. I would love to know of one.[/quote]

Mani, I did find it was strange that you were getting from insulation transformer better result then from PP2000. They are very different devises with very different results. The difference is like to play a CD from an audio output of a consumer $50 ...

into it. Unfortunately.. It is very possible that we need less
engineers but more doctors and physicians to understand what bad and
good electricity does to us."Yes. One ...

[quote user="Bill"] While they may not have tested every unit in the past, they do now. They even send graphs of the testing results with the unit. [/quote] Well, I had the very same assurance from them that “we test every unit”. However, when you as...

Romy, would you say that placette is especially sensitive to electricity to function at it's best(sensitive in relation to other equipment I mean)? My unit is 110v and I am in 220v world, so I am using a step-down transformer on the unit. I have had...

Something I think you guys are leaving out is power factor. This electricity stuff is not linear; voltage peaks do not necessarily track current. This is a problem with Edison supply, and perhaps a greater one with local generation. There are devices...

[quote user="Paul S"]Over time I have observed that, in most cases, one quickly turns the corner from "enough' connector mass to suddenly arrive at "too much" connector mass. I started out with a cable clamp like Jessie shows for my 6 gauge "dedicat...

but it may be worthwhile for you since you're using OB's .I only heard very approximate version on Zilla baffles (Retsel) and I'll take horns with their coloration . I just was wrong assessing ENabl process . You can hear it for yourself and decide i...

I managed to find a nice, early iteration of an early LP set (NM; 1-S stampers; 1951), and I first listened to this yesterday, with fairly lousy electricity. Some aspects of the sound were better than my CD, but mostly, oddly, both sources have the ...
|
|
The annoying thing, if you think about it, is that the gain stage only "modulates" the PS. And, no, no way is any kind of line conditioning proof against powerline nasties. In fact, the effing conditioners all have their own "effects". This is why...

"Cap problem"? Naturally, it was the BEP, again. @#*&%!!!This afternoon the electricity was as good as it's ever been, and things sounded even better than I ever planned (ie, almost as good as I could imagine...).IOW, the Cardas cap i...

Yes, Axel, I agree that there may be VTA issues apart from or in addition to the simple record thickness correlation; but this is hardly a smart reason to simply brush off and/or ignore VTA adjustment. Neither does "my arm is hard to adjust" say any...
|
|
Remember the death and "re-birth" (via good electricity) of the big Cardas caps? Well, it finally got to where things were not made good enough anymore by good electricity, so I went on the hunt again. This time I settled on Sonicaps from Sonic Cra...

[quote user="serenechaos"] Yes, I feel it necessecary to include context of electricity, source, amp, and driver loading, when discussing driver sound even if (as in this case) I have to say I don't really know all the details of what they are--the d...

I would rather to hear from the people who use tweeters over 10K to comment not about the “quality of the tweeters” but about the quality of amplification and the quality of electricity that they use to drive those tweeters. The better tweeter it is ...

Adrian, your bad sound may or may not be the result of poor mechanics on your part, however at this point I would put my money on the electricity as the likely suspect.Not to say you couldn't improve on Romy's design, but I am guessing that...

Like I said, Yoshi's gift of de-whizzered Reps got me thinking of better efficiency and more "weight".So far, I've got this:A pair of Eminence Kappa 18" in ~ 6 cu. ft BR box to ~250 Hz; de-whizzered Lowther DX-4 PLUS de-whizzered Reps ...

I suppose this further erodes my "credibility" regarding the "tube sockets" hysteria, but it is what it is, so here goes:Today I finally had the right combination of alone time and motivation (not to mention great electricity) and I got around to swa...

You can find a brief description here: http://www.salicru.es/index.php?id=1678&L=2 My unit is a RE-1009 2T, which means has double transformer, but it's not the extra noise filtering model which they call NS. Looking at this I'm quite sure i...

hi jezzie!i think, in case of thunder its only the "crack" that comes from the lightning, the "boom" is just the "echo". maybe this is interesting for you. as we can see, not only bad electricity destroys good sound, its also the changes in the air i...

Romy, thanks for the link, it is very educating. Anyhow without knowing who they are and how they are good, I bought the ticket yesterday, which is a good catch for me. I know 2hrs driving from Boston at the rush hour is a torture, but afte...

Another great thing about great music: It not only encourages but also rewards re-listening.God, I love this piece!And with better electricity today, it is hard to imagine a more satisfying overall rendition.Germane to the "Ice Maiden" post, He...

Sorry for being naive, but may gathering spectral fingerprints of the electricityduring bad and good days give something? Perhaps after N samples some pattern might emerge, although I guess nobody knows what to look for. Also, is that certain that th...
