Romy
I downloaded your file and burned a DVD-A which includes 176/24 Reference Recordings HrX demo files they once made available.
I listened to these on my OPPO SE which has an info display that verifies the recording sample rate, and also...

The last couple days, having some controversy with Allnic’s preamp , made me to go few times to Allnic web site. In here I was reading the information about Allnic Verito MC Phono Cartridge.

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...

There was always a little noise but when I had a soundsmith strain gauge system

Hi, WojtekI get lots of PM from readers of this site; it should work. Try again, and be careful with the spelling, etc. Though I can easily upload pictures to GSC Image Gallery, I can't seem to get them from the Gallery to the Board. Perhaps they ...

Still being pissed that my second arm/cartridge does not sound as good as my first one I decides to get another phono DIN-RCA cable – I have my reasons to be suspicions now about my kinky Micro Fat cable. So, talking about different manufacturers som...

Hi Antonio, I just realized I glanced over that thread assuming its relationship to the 6 levels of benefits. Its quite interesting, but I do not know where I fall in that spectrum (no, it can't be discrete stages as its far to "big" to really ...

OK, I have one foot back in the water again, a hand-me-down monoblock from a "well-respected movie sound producer", to whom I am connected through dear friends. Like most "sound professionals", he is fairly dismissive of the way "we" hi-fi nerds go ...
|
|
John, the problem so far has been finding reliable, working examples of available solutions that actually get the job done for high-demands hi-fi, not to mention finding something like this that works for big amps and phono stages (or DACs) simultan...

I'm not sure why my DAC cut out, other than it's a short. Meanwhile, I am listening exclusively to vinyl, as opposed to mostly vinyl. I sure wish I had FM, but no sense worrying about that in these parts, not to mention all the records I'...

Good picture .I don't know why but it reminds me a tonal balance of old movies, maybe because of the subject.
As to the phono stage, Erno Borbely has a J-fet (discrete op-amp) based unit -quiet and MC capable.Use google. It is a kit but I'm sure yo...

Hi all... yes, a clean power is paramount for a clean sound... I run my turntable and pre-amp on batteries and the difference in sound is amazing, while I never used outboard filtering on amps, BUT I have a public mains transformer at 10 meters from ...

The idea of a driver/speaker that "sorts out" noise and "puts it in its place" is very interesting! But perhaps we are thinking wrongly about how this might be done? As far as doing it earlier in the "reproduction" chain, I do know a version of thi...

Sometimes it can take a while for the other shoe to drop.I knew I had bass and balance issues with my phonostage. I recently added some capacitance to the output cap, and that did the trick for the ribbon level.Going back to the earlier discuss...
|
|
Hi Alex,I am sorry, what you claim can not be. No cap is going to separate bass instruments better.The brilliance of the 834p circuit is that the EQ also uses the miller capacitance of the tubes in a very brilliant way. The power supply caps are very...

First of all I disagree that the objective of loading is to tame RF resonances. The tame RF resonances is what is the most easily observable. I personally never care about RF resonances while I chase loading but only about the LF. Secondary, I do not...

Thanks a lot Romy for your useful advices mixed with delicious and sometimes spicy
humor which make the meals more tasty ;-)
You are well experienced, let
me rise again an old question: well damped/treated RX...

Hi. First time posting. I had long admired an older friend's RX-5000. He left it to me when he passed last year (RIP, Bill) and I recently got possession and did a lot of cleanup on a table that had been sitting for a couple of decades. He has ow...

If you can do it, try isolating both cases/chasses from your "ground plane(s)". Use one inclusive "ground plane" for both the PS and the gain/RIAA sections, and ground this "ground plane" to the house "neutral" wire. Do NOT connect any shielding to t...

Hi Romy,Well maybe it is that the answer. My mono is pierre clement eb 25 broadcast cartridge, the original not the contemporary remake. The output is extremely high, almost overwhelming my phono amp I have the impression. Also, it tracks very heavy...

Rick, sure, working volltage is important. What does your inverter require in the way of current in order to produce it's rated voltage at its rated current? I can remember times when I measured "correct" voltage when the battery was functionally use...

Thanks, Keith and Montepilot.
I did have my 7788-7721 phonostage with LCR filter and I always liked it, pay attention - it was 68dB gains with just two stages and with NO step-up transformer. Allnic Phono is 3 stages with step-up transformer...

Roman,
I can't follow most of your arguments. There are many ways to do things and to lay out the architecture of a system. This line/phono combo was designed to work together and to the given requirements. 75-85 db of gain ? Remember thi...

Hi Paul,Yes, I agree with everything you have said. I love the Well Tempered system because it is extremely simple and elegant, as you say, making it easy to work with.The older top of the line Decca London Jubilee has incredible presence but was no...

Hi Romy,The thing is.. Mr Schroeder is making a living and as such (being someone who needs to make a living in order to pay for stuff), he may from time to time have to associate himself with people that will facilitate this ability to help him pay ...

Not that I have a lot of patience for audio, but I finally ran out my allotment for the effing shielded phono cables when the clock sounded 12 before I figured out a quiet grounding scheme. On the up side, I cleaned and re-greased all the contacts f...

Never had a 100kg power supply to play with, but I have certainly noticed that changing the power source affects dynamics (along with plenty of other things, too). I prefer my friend's system's dymanics when "grid power" is connected, vs giant batter...

Adrian, is the room raised floor or a slab? If the former, then wall-mount makes sense, especially for a TT. If slab, then you have more options, as far as spreading things around. Soft carpet or hard flooring factors, too. Yo...
