After hearing what a well designed FM station recording setup could deliver I became a believer. The question was what would be the cost involved to implement a good setup. After doing some research on the cost of Romy's components to capture fm br...

Hi Romy,Can you describe how your vinyl playback and conventional CD playback fall short of what you are getting from FM? Is the FM playback of 'non live' material still sounding better than your vinyl and cd? Have you tried recording vinyl wit...

I wrote before about the Accuphase T-1000 and about my interest about it. Since I record FM it is supers beneficial to me that Accuphase has digitalized multiplex decoder with digital out before the output DA converters. This would allow sucking out ...

[quote user="de charlus"]Have you heard these, Romy, or are you also impressed with the price/technology ratio? [/quote] Nope, I never heard them. They started a few years back making high quality clocks and now they spread themselves to DACs. I have...

Hm, interesting. The problem might be in ADC, I/O cared, Recorder or DAC. When you do the experiment do you record the file? If so then you might plug ADC directly into DAC. Might your problem be with cloaking? I do know what erumpent you use but can...

[quote user="peter foster"] 3) I have been swapping DACs in and out of the chain to compare results. When using my Lavry DAC there definitely is additional background noise. This is unexpected and annoying. [/quote] Peter, I am very convinced that th...

I was told that they were thinking to stop analog FM stations and have them broadcasting in digital DAB, but I found the official webpage of the government about it. It's sure that they will stop (in Spain, don't know other countries) aerial analog T...

[quote user="Paul S"] … When I listen before I switch to battery, then listen after I switch, the unit starts sounding better and better over about 5 minutes, then it improves very slowly like it does on wall polwer, depending on how long I've warmed...

I sound as moronic as it could be but I found myself straggling with new thing. I am experimenting now with a new AD/DA processor in my system and to my big surprise my addiction to the Synopsis digital cables is nailing me down.
As now I have 4 AES...

Here are my notes on adapters. I am not an engineer so I do not have further explanations readily available but could probably dig them out.1) It is physically impossible to make an RCA male or female with an impedance of 75 Ohms, so all digital RCA ...

Interesting, mats.The unit is not “complex device with many settings”. All those settings have own meaning and if you know how a tuner works then there is absolutely nothing menacing in those adjustments. You went for R...

[quote user="manisandher"] Did you ever try this?[/quote] Nope, I do not yet but I know people who did and who report very positive results. I think there are even some commercial companies who did it. I spoke with Lavry people, trying to commission ...

Regarding the Lynx post above, I thought you'd be doing the A/D to rip
your FM broadcasts. My bad. I should have read more
carefully.
Nevertheless, if you have the Lavry DAC, what I'd do (and what I've
done) is get yourself a mother...

OK, it now looks like my dive in the world of PC is over and I pretty much know where I am staying. A well of so ago I was completely ignorant about the subject but now I could at least to understand what the common buzz-worlds means and able to ask ...

If you read my site or talk to me then you know that I am very much not a proponent to dummy idea of balancing specific problems of playback system by using specific complimentary cables. I always tend to use individually neutral components with ...

I never hit such a huge jackpot as I just did with the Lavry DA-924. The most funny in that even that I did it absolutely blindly. I had some minor beef with DA-924 sound: upperbass/lower midrange and the slightly too much extended HF (very very clea...

[quote user="manisandher"] What I'm having more difficulty with is playing 176.4/192KHz sample rate files with the Model Two in Master mode. The Model Two can only output a clock at 1x or 2x 44.1KHz or 48KHz. My AFI1 cannot double the clock frequ...

[quote user="manisandher"] So, all the files you've recorded @ 24/88.2 have the HDCD flag? And you've never noticed? How can this be? I'm sure I've read your previous posts Romy where you state that you don't agree with HDCD for >16/44.1 and that ...

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...

Here is 3 more files that were recorded today, yesterday and in the beginning of the week. All of them FM with Schwarz and Lavry, each file is 88/24 and around 100Meg. They are compressed and it is well heard but they LIVE and they in my view more al...

Since Pacific lost it’s battle to Lavry AD122 as AD converter I was wondering what I might do with this possessor. My initials sentiment was to sell but Pacific to my large surprise turned out to be a very good CD-level DAC. In fact it is so good 16B...

[quote user="Telstar"] Because those 20 bit were true 20 bits No, it won't do true 24 bit ladder, according to the specs on their website. Nonetheless it can be good. At least it is sure that it will accept 24/174.6 format. But I I'm pretty sure that...
