[quote user="mats"]Not sure how good it sounds. I get a strong signal from WFMT, but it seems compressed and with a narrow soundstage. Oh well.....[/quote] We have the WFMT programs in Boston on Sunday 3PM to 5MP. They are syndicated public broadca...

[quote user="Paul S"] The truth is that if most of the seekers at this site knew what they were really in for by "copying Romy", then they would be wise to give up now.[/quote]

Still, with stepping away from my position that any so called “full-range” driver shell, be $200-$300 easy came easy go solution, like Fostex for instance , I would like to note the not the price itself or topology is something that alert me in...

Hm…. Listening Bruckner more than I am willing to admit publicly without fear of incriminating myself I need to say that have slightly different approach to Bruckner. First of all I do not differentiate different revision of Bruckner symphonies. I k...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Did you try just for test to increase the caps value that short the plate to ground? Will it amount and the character of the noise change? [/quote]Just like one would expect: 0.1uF shorting cap gives approx 4x more ham than...

Today is the last day of BSO season and the first day what my antenna is up and I might listen the BSO in it’s full glory. The azohen-vey Glory! I was listening the programs today before the live broadcast. It is not that I do not like the sound. The...

The full-rage single-driver acoustic systems is probably the most hated playback topology by me. It is irrelevant if you use $200 Fostex or you use a family reserved edition of AER driver for $64.000. The result you have the same: a horrible dynamic ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I would leave the bitching about the FM quality of today to other threads. In thins there I more interested about the today’s tuners. It might be said that no on need a good tuner if we listed the stations broadcasting MP3 ...

DA, looks like very nice and lucid assembly. How do you like the sound of the thing? The output stage 200mA /187V. It is a bit too small but I will do. I do not know what the gap you have in your OPT. If it is limited to 200mA then stay there, you ...

[quote user="Stitch"] I agree, the Shelter transformer is nothing special, but when you really want to loose hairs, try the one from Koetsu. Well, living in a world of morons I spend - unfortunately - too much time with reading idiotic reviews fr...

[quote user="steverino"]FM is Analog Signal Processing vs DSP. The compression aspect is only really intrusive on orchestral works. Pop and jazz are already compressed and chamber music presents a more limited dynamic range if not limited contrast. B...

BTW, in 2 days the very same concert will be broadcasted buy different station live-to-tape. It would be VERY interning to see what change to sound it will be. I do not know if it was the problem with recording or the pr...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]With that Levine/BSO concert at Tanglewood, I should say that Trojans has now entered the rarefied world of the Ring, Mozart's Da Ponte trilogy, Fidelio, and of course Verdi and Puccini.[/quote]
Actually it is a very good ...

The subject of this head is not the Continuum Turntable but rather the little frighten Moron with sentimental name Michael Fremer. It is important to note that Michael Fremer is not just a Moron own problems but the persons who is with his proactive ...

Here is the signal box:The design is double mono past the VR's. Including the bias.
The coupling caps are Arcotronics KP172 from RS-Online, quite prised by Thorsten Loesch. THey are sitting on

[quote user="AOK_Farmer"]I think what they did was to put filters, maybe just a simple capacitor on the AC side to try and reduce the noise that the units inject back into the ac mains. Perhaps they were getting complaints that the units worsened the...

Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of differe...

I appreciate audio devices that instead of demonstration of own qualities force you to think about sound. The new Purepower 2000 is turning to be such a devise. I have so many ideas and so many thoughts with the sound the 2000 produces that I truly s...

Last night I was returning from local production of Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta. It was mean rain here in Boston and fragile Bostonians were hiding in their homes, it was 10PM and the roads were free. I was in mood for some kind of offensive drive – a ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Yes, Bud, I agree that the most common problem for the full-tilt regenerators is that they begin to exhibit various problems in direct proportion to current demands. And this seems to be true even when they are used "below capac...

Well, jessie, this "home move" turned to be a bigger discovery of myself in many ways then I thought. I am 42 and I lived all my live in city, I never had any usable backyard, garden or even plants. The only green things I ever have seen were ins...

I always said that regular audio-freaks, who mostly unprovoked bend themselves in demonstration of the excessive and stupid devotion to audio manufactures, are the worst case. Ironically that “devotion” is not what the manufactures demand but the obs...

I separated my two of my PP2000 in my rack with 3 feet space and run everything from one PP2000 and both Milq power amps from another PP2000. I also routed the incoming power cords that that are far from each other and far from outcoming power co...
