[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I very much insist on the fact that I do not retrieve my position on this mater. The relationship between a ‘content loaded music’ and capacity of a 'serious playback' is the only mater that counts and this is the threshold...

I've received and read most of February issue of Stereophile. They review the last M1.2 Reference amplifier and the comments from the reviewer are more about how the music can flow and show as a unique event, with the kind of interaction with th...

The thing here is that while you may hate something, you are forgetting the perspective of where most audio enthusiasts approach this. Let us leave aside the issue that they might enjoy anything regardless of if it is good. The important thing is to...

[quote user="scooter"] However, I had one very interesting observation living the "Class D;" plugged directly into the wall socket, they always sounded the same, regardless of day or time of day. That is the only audio gear I have ever encountered th...

Sorry, I couldn't resist the header...Electricity was OK today and either the X/O parts are already breaking in or I had a "lull" in the expected parts shut-down. Anyway, I actually wound up seriously listening to some serious music! Even without f...

This is a fact but, you need to review literature relating to lightning/surge arresting systems. It is given in books such as the FURSE system because stranded conductors DO NOT WORK in that application. Flat tapes and small solid core wire should ...

Hi Romy,It is with great interest that I frequently visit your site and enjoy your observations on audio-moronity. While I have to admit that I am at a loss wether I could be qualified for being an audio-moron, I can live with the fact that others ob...

You may remember that my bass reflex boxes were sitting on top of the carpet. I installed a few days ago, 4 brass spikes under each one, then their foots to sit on, and put them on the sandwich granite bases I made. Bases are 50kg each now!I have als...

I dont think a standart klipschorn would satisfy the cat. I had one, then I heavily modified it and in the end I built my full scale horn system. I still keep that modded khorn system as a second system.If I may suggest, if you use klipschorn, you ca...

[quote user="haralanov"]Romy, the main driver in this acoustic system has nothing to do with the funny Lowthers. It is very high class field coil speaker unit made by Oleg Rullit. The owner of the system has tried the highest class of the Feastrex li...

[quote user="peter foster"] Since obtaining a pair of 'reference' microphones, microphone pre-amplifier and analog-to-digital converter as part of my playback system I have learned much about 'relative reality', 'transformation of reality', 'reinstat...

Romy dropped by yesterday. He goddamn demonstrated how "yellow" and compressed the Lowther (Reps-1, in my case) is, using my system, by simply playing other channels and the Lowther channal separately (mine is a 4way multi-amp set up, so it's v...

So far it appears that one needn't look to the TAP for any sort of sonic help. I have been breaking my own "one change at a time" rule by futzing with a new (K&K) phono stage as well as the CD/bypass stuff, and everything I do to/with ...
|
|
No matter how often I go through it I still frequently get confused and disoriented when tubes go bad. In this case I have been integrating a new (passive) pre-amp and a new (tubed) phono stage into the system, including trying various tub...

My a-musical woes, mentioned briefly above, were traced to the ML2s' fading drivers. This report is written after the 6N6Ps were repalced. As it turns out, the TAP did not figure into the problems, and minor system changes do not&nbs...

Bill, what I find interesting is not the fact that the units vary one from the other in terms of measured performance, or each in its (in)ability to charge its own battery, rather I notice that you seem "happy" with the performance of all the units i...

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 ...

Hi Romy,Sorry for having placed you quote out of context and giving the wrong impression that I didn't care for what came afterwards. I did, but I didn't want to make a long quotation.This issue, as I understand it, comprises several topics in which ...

Thanks for the spacing tip. At this point the only part of the inverter attached to the house is through the ground - and that is using a plug for just the ground lead into a close-by receptacle.My main amplifiers (tri-amplified system) are utilizing...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The "listening to the room" is NOT the DPoLS subject in my view, however, if you feel that it is then it is fine with me.
The Cat[/quote]I agree with romy , I think DPOLS help us to find the most neutral zone in room but d...

Romy, I can very much relate to the objective of faithfully reproducing the music's original complexity, and that the margin for intentional editing is limited and inevitably results in sameness. My point is that while in live music full complexity a...

The "mains ground" is not necessarily worth a crap, electrically; it is just whatever ground system happens to be attached to the main service shared neutral/ground bus. In fact, some older systems may yet use the dreaded "floating" ground. I have ...
|

The ground simultaneously serves as the source of all electrons entering the system and a common voltage level that establishes a baseline for the system. Thus, the ground should be simultaneously as large a homogenous metal source as possible while ...

I think it might help LX_ 's ac problem resolution if I make one simple point.If his PurePower 2000 is operating normally, it is both theoretically and in practice impossible for his household appliance operation to have any effect at all on the AC o...

Well a DEQX will cost you less than a set of good caps! you can buy one and play around with it for a couple of months and see for yourself, you will have fun anyway and thats what tis all about! You will need and extra preamp and 3 different amps...

Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

The Lavry DA-924 and Sansui TU-X1 are on separate equipment legs/chains and only come together at inputs to the amplifier. They also are on separate uninterruptible power supplies that are on separate legs of our wall supplies. Also,...
