I wonder how myth in all those digital gismos and how little what we considering in digital is obvious and self-explanatory in reality has not relation to Sound. Also, how much those people with who just learned how to solder and let their blind (and...

Well, another page of my saga with APS regenerator is turned. I got the updated APS unit. It kind of “works” as I redefined the definition of word “works”. Under normal circumstances I would walk away from it but there are some moments in my “bad ele...

Last week I spent a few hours at the scene of NY’s Stereophile Show – HE 2004: a half-day on Thursday and 2 hours on Friday. As many other audio-shows it had many semi-ugly colorations, however as any audio shows this zoo trip brought it’s own “inter...

Sorry, I misread, or rather read into, your comment. Still, my experience is that the file sounds better, to me,
on the cd player than
on the pc w/ usb dac. Not because of the cd is superior media, it is not. I can't refute ...

I do not know. People say a lot of words about jitter and speculate a lot about the topic. I never heard from anyone any real definition how a high level of jitter sounds in realty. I heard 4 (!!!!) complete contradictory descriptions how high level ...

Hato,Its very simple, and can be done without opening the amps.If you receive the manuals with the amps, you will find that they include clear instructions for voltage selection.If not, do as follows:There is a voltage selector built into the IEC soc...

Today is a first great warm day in Boston and was working at my yard, fixing the fence around the pool. I was good 120-150 feet away from my listening room, pretty much in the forest, the large French doors to the room were opened and the playback wa...

Sounds like your non-cable digital experience is similar to mine. My own transport is "1st generation", non-oversampling for a targeted reason, as is my DAC.Back to cable:I'd bet that many people would regard the Synapse cab...

I'm not sure exactly what I expected from swapping the digital cable at this point, but what I got was not it.Before I bought the Belkin Synopsis cable I just swapped out, I had sought out and purchased an Acoustic Revive cable, on the strength o...

Dima for instance (and he has quite high expertise in the subject) claims that there no true 24bit converters available anyhow. BTW, with all advances of HDCD, that I fully appreciate, it makes send only on 16 bit. At 20...

I remember there was a guy in Chicago (Chig?) who covered Bidat to battery power – I juts do not remember already what was his comments. Chig, if you still around then say Meow.
I personally do not believe in buttery powered DAC like Bidat (IDAT). B...

Quite sensational, truly. I can’t not at this point to say that it is better of worth: Lavry Gold AD and DA chain of the Pacific. The Pacific has own “softness” twist and some extra futures making it difficult to “compare” with Lavrys. Much higher in...

Well, for the sake of objectively I have to mention that I received an email from the guy who runs 6moons.com Srajan Ebaen, who informed me that in should be blamed myself in Moronity as the TL0-X’s was not a "review" but was listed as a "previe...

Not too many of the cheaper horns have really interested me so far, but I think that we here should help others with this as it could better help them have some horns and horn interest in general. I haven't payed too much attention to much ...

Crushing some Japanese CD shops I came across an interesting new thing: the SHM-CD format. As I understand the SHM-CD is JVC development based on a manufacturing process of LCD displays. SHM-CD uses polycarbonate plastic that improves characteristic ...

Thank you both.
My loading is pretty small since the 2A3 SET amps take only about 250VA total.
Add to it tubed phono and DAC/transport and it is still not much.
I may be getting bass units, each with its own plate amp. These can be
