jd: I'm celebrating the 1 year anniversary of my order for custom transformers from AE Europe.It suits me fine that they haven't delivered (because I don't have the $ now), but you may want to be ...less than overly optimistic.I don't know about...

TAS created a page with industry players play tribute to HP,
a good deserving thing.

It however ironic to read some of the comments as they exactly
describe what HP was truly great. The e...

I have an anal fantasy of a full silver path from the cart to the grid of the input stage.This brings me to finding an ambitious silver wound SUT. There is Slagle who can make it,but I'm inclined towards amorphous/nanocrystaline core, so there is Lun...

As I am unable to find anyone to do this for me, I may have to try this myself. What I am worried about is the "months to analyze the mistakes and prospective areas of improvement" part... I don't think I am capable of doing that. I can order t...

[quote user="Paul S"]N-set, you've certainly earned the right to enjoy your gear! Again, which SUT will you use? No practical way to measure ESR, etc. on this, I suppose...[/quote]Paul, the SUT's are Pieter's Tribute MkII. I could measure this or th...

[quote user="Paul S"]Meanwhile: If you are going to use a SUT, this actually is a Big Deal that will profoundly affect the Sound you get from your system, regardless of which connectors or solder you use. I recommend you integrate the SUT (with its ...

Romy,As it happens, I approached N-Set as I thought I might suggest some transformer winders who might be more reliable than Peter of Tribute Audio...As an aside I wanted to find out if the fish market in Barcelona is as good as it used to be the las...

Paul,I haven't done much audio in the past 1,5 year. The main reason is a war in my motherland which got me pretty out of balance,but I'm coming slowly back. To try the Fr7, I made a slate/lead tower for the SME3012 caring it. Now I need to convince...

[quote user="Dominik"]Hi,From Pieter:"For me it is normal practice to do good specifications. I go for 10 Hy's at 250mA. 10 Hy's with 512 ohms source impedance will give 8 Hz cut off frequency."[/quote] Dominik, when you get your transformer from Pie...

You are very welcome! Keep in mind however, that I do not pretend that my "sound" is anything special at this stage--I'm very much on thebeginning of a long journey, progressing slowly. What I offer is a chance to listen to O2MkI with a +/- advanced...

Hi Paul,WTF is probably the right question. The time has been the problem - in the past 2,5yrs Ive set up my own audio company and only recently came back to working on the front end of my system.I changed the concept and bought the FR64S arm togethe...

Jarek, that really sucks! Are you sure no one in Japan might salvage this cartridge for you? Has Stitch not offered more sage advice?And what about your Super Deluxe Tribute SUT? Is there a way you might adapt it for use with something else? I re...
|

OK, thanks. I would leave for others to decide what the “higher resolution image” might mean. It might be some kind of untranslatable Japanese folklore. The more vibrant color palette is definably a valid accomplishment, no one knows through if it is...

Today recive transformers and chokes from Pieter.
I was prepare for size of OPT but not for size of PS chokes!!!!
There is no paint on parts on my request. Here are pics of most of the big parts,
Now i must find a ...

Paul, thank you for your input![quote user="Paul S"]I think with the SUT the "dynamic" loading the cartridge "sees" may swamp the choice of wire metal. Once the loading is dialed in, silver might be nice. [/quote]Yes Paul, absolutely agree--the ele...

... yes, Roman... I also love Tsabropoulos' renditions and THIS very music fucked my mind, about 15 years ago... Keith Jarrett played and recorded it always on ECM, piano solo... BUT, Roman... please, PLEASE, find the real thing - i.e. de Hartmann pl...

[quote user="oxric"]N-Set,I have a similar experience as yours when it comes to Peter of Tribute Audio. One moment he is all enthusiastic and the next moment he stops all communication. I think this might be the unfortunate price of fame and success....

Thanks for the link, Murat. I have seen the WE copy drivers before, but today I confused the 555 with the 750/753, etc. paper drivers. If the 555 sounds good over anywhere near its claimed frequency range, and if you are in a position to buy 2, why ...

It is interesting indeed how people allow their attention to go from fixation to fixation without ever changing/adapting methodology, believing none the less that each single idea in turn is The Answer. I remember the first time I heard th...

Nope, I do not have any proof to the rumor as I do not use the Japanese transformers. I heard them many times, was not liking the entire sound of the playbacks (do not blame only transformers for that) but since I never myself dealt with Japanese tra...

Hi Romy,Agreed about the S2 transformer being the most prominent it is here I think that mumetal will shine. I should have said that I was referring to the upper S2 covering 1k-12k or so. I wasn't too clear earlier - when I suggested rolling of...

Ygoh, Most of compression drivers have phase plug. A phase plug is very genomic center line oriented devise. A phase plug must be parallel to diaphragms and perpendicular to the axis of the driver. Practically all compression drivers have beggin...
