Jessie, a few comments.
The back chamber mechanism is good. Are you planning to do the same in the midbass horn? Since you most likely will not drive your upperbass all the way down I think that the back chamber mechanism will be more effectiv...

Well, as usual, we can read all over what one likes or dislikes....each his own of course. But, we can not read why someone did like or did not like something.Same for me of course, but it would be helpful to offer a kind of "priority" (or whatever o...

Actually I do not think that it “all about money” but rather about “those” people who exercise nothing else then thier own Moronity. Ignorance is a state when a person recognizes that something is wrong but do not know "w...

I did not read it, I rarely read those types of articles but what you describe is very common and very indicative for those people. They fly like butterflies from a manufacture to a manufacture, from dealer to dealer and from marketing campaign to ma...

Romy,
Your approach makes sense; I will look into fitting a "12.5 db voltage divider".
As I did not have any noise issues when using the same equipment with a variety of direct radiating speakers, I can only speculate as to what other informat...

[quote user="alexd"]To answer your question about DAW output vs tuner. Well Tuner is not highest quality source to start with. I do not think you will hear much difference between DAW analog output and tuner analog output.[/quote]

Rowuk, first of all, I very much recommend you do not undertake the Paul’s advice and do not go for any implementation of bass with bigger drivers or more driver of different topology of bass section like OB and so on. For sure better bass would ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eli, I do not think that it is PurePower objective to grab your money and to run. They are notorious with delays and it certainly might be unpleasant. With all due respect: 2 month delay is kind of nothing and if the unit ...

[quote user="drdna"] To me, there are three types of problems:
1a) grime piled on top of a record1b) defective vinyl piled on top of a record2) scratches cutting into the vinyl
Type 1 deflects the needle upward and Type 2 deflects the needl...

I am saying:
1. All people listen differently.
2. The act of listening substantively affects the perceived sound.
3. There will be one ideal system for any individual listener but not one for all listeners.
4. The higher le...

[quote user="drdna"][quote user="tuga"]I too am very tuned into Romy's Unvollendete. The way I see it, it somehow synthesizes the way an evolved person (which we all aspire to become someday) approaches a work of art.
And I agree that "a certain" ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Try slowly removing from your perception of concept of Audio Neutrality, substituting it with Event Recreation Neutrality. You might discover eventually that a Recreative Really has a very strong cross-expressive bound an...

I am revising the architecture of my playback in context of benefits
of reverberation fields injection. Certainly, Macondo and Melquiades stay as
they are. I always had a pilot system that runs in parallel with Macondo driven
by a cold SS amp. I u...

T, although I am not in disagreement with what you suggest but I have to admit that your expectation of user applications dose not make sense to me. I’m taking the use of a transformer in a system and getting a result out of it instead of building a ...

"many tuning geeks today still find that [equal] temperament loathsome."Of course tuning geeks don't like equal temperament. And of course a capella musicians will settle into just intonation if they can get away wi...

Romy, I am aware of your well-reasoned prejudice against audiophile/boutique parts, and I agree that they are by-and-large the first recourse and last refuge of Morons.I thought I'd chronicled this phono stage stuff so far, but obviously not in ...

I chose the EdgarHorns for fairly simple reasons. I have listened to them and I loved the way they sound. They are not the perfect loudspeaker, but they make much truer music than what I have now. Also, the price I paid is less than...

[quote user="Paul S"]No "cost assumption" was made or posited about bearings, rather the remark was framed as a question, just wondering, likewise the very general remarks about belts (along with the closing disclaimer). If the air system is cheap, ...

[quote user="drdna"]Romy,
I believe the cartridges are manufactured form Decca by JS Wright in London.
The suspension is less of an issue since the Decca cartridges use a novel transducer. There is no cantilever. The stylus connects di...

I have no specific personal interest in any new analog adventures as I am pretty comfortable with sound I am getting but for sake of expending the general horizons about what is available out there I would like to point out one might be interesting t...

It possible that those systems exist but I never heard about them and even I think it is too late to invent the thing for record playing but I still do like the idea.

[quote user="Steradian"]
Look at the popularity of 5.1 and 7.1 "multichannel" (not DSET) sound nowadays. Stereo audio is a dying breed. The public is choosing 6-8 channels of MP3 quality sound. They can't put together a satisfying 2 channel...

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...

[quote user="manisandher"]This is very disappointing to hear.
But in a way, it makes little difference to me. I had decided that I would only use the PP2000 from battery power when listening to music (or making vinyl transfers to digital). I'v...

[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...

Wow! I did not realized that almost 4 months have passed since I wrote last.
Quite a few things have happened the last 4 months that I have played with the 6C33Camp/preamp combo. I have tried at least 3 different vendors on the Ulyanovsk type, the ...

[quote user="noviygera"] I want to listen to both 12db/octave and 6db/octave passive versions and see which one sounds better. And keep the one that sounds better. [/quote]Herman,
It depends what you would like to listen. If you would like to ...
