[quote user="Romy the Cat"]OK, everything was fine and I might do into the sonic nuances of the PurePower unit. The PurePower drives a lot of switching nose from output. It has the filters but they help only partially. Adding capacitance to the PureP...

I am interested that Romy has found some interest in DHT amplifiers.
Many, many amp builders have used many, many tubes over the years, including many IHTs, triode-wired pentodes, etc. Japanese builders have used big transmitting pentodes driven i...

As good as there was the FM broadcast with Alisa Weilerstein and Inon Barnatan the actual concert today in New England Conservatory was a minor disappointment. Well, not really a disappointment – the program was too good to leave indifferent but my i...

[quote user="JANDL100"] I hadn't realised it was a contentious issue. [/quote]
O, yes. There are lot controversies about Shostakovich and the infamies “Testimony” – did not help as lot but rather spill oil into the fire. I do not tend to accuse Solo...

The leather suspension IS a spectacular material, I agree. I would say that it is a spectacular material for relatively long throw drivers, the drivers that work in open baffles as so on.
There is a community of people who strong supporters of...

We would not use Mahler’s orchestra to play Haydn’s symptoms and we would not use Palestrina’s orchestra to play Brahms. It is not even the deferent time period but rather a different set of expressive tools the symphonic and chamber orchestras u...

Ewa Podles in Boston this week in Rossini’s opera “Tancredi.’’ To celebrate Ms. Podles arrival in Boston I bought last week a couple of her live CDs with Russian and Chopin repertoire. Love her voice, even some of Garrick Ohlsson’s accompaniments we...

[quote user="Paul S"]So, does anyone know anything about "good" sockets for the ML-2s? I forget when and where I saw some sort of boutique Teflon jobbies that are pretty darned expensive. Maybe DIY Hi-Fi, in Hong Kong? Also, although Teflon is a ...

[quote user="nl"] I have used Russian high-gm tubes like 6C45 in amps before, including single-stage designs very much like Romy's single-stage Milq. These have many attractions. However, in my experience it just didn't have the tone. Jim de Kort of ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]http://www.goodsoundclub.com/pdf/YO-186.pdf[/quote] Here is the lit sucker that I told you before. It is Russian impersonisation of Telefunken AD1. It was made from 1932 to 1963. It is smaller than 2A3, the size of the larg...

I know – it idiotic even for my site but it us what it is. I do not think that I can generalize my observations as I have not a lot of experience with DHT tubes but one thing that I have been observing for the last week is really arouse my curios...

I closed up the amps and moved it to the default operation position, right along with it all Dominus cables and so on. I played just mono music and was very interesting where I will find myself with this amp Sound. The right channel still was s...

Yes, Wellington, that is pretty much what I am saying: if a
TT have heavy enough platter and the bearing done right then the any speed
deviations of motor of belt are kind of irrelevant. I remember years back a Russian
guy presented heavy mathemat...

[quote user="Murataltuev"] And I've successfully

[quote user="KOTriode"] The Melquiades give me inspiration to build this 6C33C amplifier. It's on a stereo chassis that has few unique features - Vacuum tube rectifier separately for Input/Driver and Output tubes. - Regulator using the same tube ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Rakesh,I think you’ve missed the accent of my battery post. We do not argue abstract topologies but we argue the validity of topology in respect to sonic results. I hope we all agree that we do not exactly know WHY affect...

OK, it is another direct-heated amp with Russian GM-100
driven by a pair of 6N6P. There are many GM-100 amps out there and it certainly
a good candidate for high power SET amp.
I never heard of this amp or even never heard about the company, and ...

Thank you Romy for the insider view of the "Russian soul".
The mistake here is the military instead of the KGB? Perhaps. Funny enough, Swan Lake was on the radio today.

Writing anything on this site is akin to playing Russian roulette, which is a real shame as I find Romy's website generally very informative and a fascinating read, although my limited exposure to horn loudspeakers suggests that they might not be...

It looks like nice your builder doe for you a nice work. The whole design is not what I personally would look in frame as I have slightly different preferences. To me the whole concept of the bottom legs, what I call chicken legs, is not elegant ...

Thanks, Murat. I do not need neither the listed drivers nor 146
