This is very interesting, Anthony. I do think that absolute polarity has own role to play. Also, do check the DC that might be sent out of your preamps, certainly with Placette and with your 10Y before the transformer. Chas it with disconnected Milq ...

[quote user="manisandher"] Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. The first two seem to add something in the HF that I can imagine many people judging as being 'extra resolutio...

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...

I spend a couple days playing with my digital, listening, measuring, trying to realize how to use it, trying to take advantage (if it exists) of my new Pacific processor. It is a true remarkable machine but the Pacific processor also highlighted to m...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Here is what I think. If Marc Lavry would like to fill his father shoes, of even become better than his dad (that would be ultimate benefit for us the consumers and for legacy of his family) then Marc need to open his mout...

Peter,It is obviously that in your installation Lavry and FM are much more isolated then in mine. In fact if your power amp breaks both ground and central wire then when you switch you playback to “Leg B” then digital in not in the picture at all. Ev...

- If you still keep the Alesis HD based recorder, try plugging the Lavry using the AES/EBU connection into it (supposing it has that digital input, otherwise use the one you have available), then see if the noise is still so high. In the case yo...

Though my new updated Bidat is too fresh but considering that I know very well how the Nichicon KZ progress with sound I think I can make some preliminary observations about the revised sound of my Bidat.
The change was not a large, less than I expe...

If you want to keep it really simple just buy an Oppo BDP-83SE ($800) and use its two-channel audio analog outs to an amp with volume controls. All the setup features you need are in the Oppo including the downmix to 2.0.A new projector will run you ...

Romy, You have mentioned somewhere in the Bidat-Lavry thread about the Bidat being a 20 bit dac but throws out 4 bits (quote below). But, you have also stated that you play 20/44.1 files from your pc set-up into the Bidat and more specifically to co...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Another a very valid thing to try is to see of the same difference with the same recordings happens with different DACs, preamps the you will take care of the absolute phase. [/quote]To date, my listening has been with my f...

The last year there was some chatter up about artificially created so called “digital drugs”. If you are not familiar with it get familiar here for instance:

The most interning in Larvy writing was the article about Optimal
Sample Rate. Dan Lavry begin to advance this subject in his post at various
audio boards from I think 2008 and then in 2012 he convert it into his “papers”

I have found the problem and was able to resolve the noise quandary.
The Lavry ADC has balance analog input and the Sansui has single-ended output. I use my PAD’s Dominus cable with an RCA to XLR adapter. The adaptor was made by BAT and I used it f...

[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...

People asked me: Romy why don’t you try to transfer some analog to digital and see what happen. I was queries myself and I decided to try tonight.
Whatever I did was in a way half-ass but I was interested in “as is” result. Although the attem...

[quote user="scooter"]What does this mean for Mr. TU-X1?[/quote]
Actually it has nothing do with TU-X1. If I record with TU-X1 I will have virtually the same result. The TU-X1 is bounded to Pacific A/D converter and Schwarz is bounded to Lavry. Schw...

Dear Romy,Of course I would love to be able to use my personal computer as a music server. I did evaluate music servers (although it was some 2 years ago) and tested the capabilities of my personal computers, including Exact Audio Copy, lossles...

Dear Romy,
I am continuing with testing.
Conclusions at high amplifier volume: -
1) FM tuner variable OUTPUT-2 supplies less background noise than FM tuner variable OUTPUT-1.2) Inserting hard disk recorder into the chain is blameless.3) I hav...

[quote user="peter foster"]Dear Romy, it is possible. I would need to obtain some cables to make the connection between my Sansui TU-X1 and Lavry Blue ADC. Also, I do not have access yet to broadband so till then recordings could be to CD...

[quote user="miab"] Do you think the Bidat will be back before the move for impressions on the mods? It might be hard to tell what/if the mods make a difference in a positive directions if you throw a whole new room into it. Your experimental control...
