[quote user="nl"]simply because the point is to try something new.[/quote]To me this is entirely NOT the point. The results of High Gm tubes vs DHT you posted are pretty typical of audiophiles, who tend to fixate on the novelty of the sounds coming ...

[quote user="nl"]The 45 is a wonderful tube for running compression drivers.
Many people like carbon comp resistors for the plate load, and paper/oil capacitors for the coupling cap here.
PIOs take some time to break in.
Of course you want...

[quote user="serenechaos"]Sometimes it's good to be sucked at first? [/quote]Yes, it is pretty clear. If the simple parameters measured were adequate, solid state receivers would sound wonderful and CD's would be great without oversampling. This has...

I guess you mean the "Arabian" power regenerator you have been working on with Dima? Well, I will wait to hear the results enthusiastically. If it works, I want one too!
The idea of analog dithering opens up a whole new world of possibilities reg...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]BTW, the idea of analog dithering (randomanization) will be used in the coming Avicena Power Generator… [/quote]Okay, what is that, and where can I hear it?

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I personally more inclined to have “accurate” sound and word accuracy is more implies to a playback accurately and fatefully render the essence of musical events. Pay attention – not accurately play the input signal, not ac...

It kind of sounds good, but is all based on this false idea that you can cancel out Total Harmonic Distortion in your loudspeakers with "negative polarity" THD in the amplifier. It treats THD like it was a discrete variable rather than the sort of ...
|

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also, in DHT the electrons flow dispatched not from uniformed nice cathode but from many 3-D wires that make the arriving to anode not… time-aligned and more unsystematic. BTW, this is one of the reasons why many DHT people...

[quote user="nl"]Systems like these are all about understanding the emotional content of the music, not about Sound.[/quote]So, I take it you are saying that this system is more focused on a specific level of the 7-level perceptual paradigm? If so, ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anyhow, the Melquiades does have some “tricks” in the realm of dynamic viscosity. It is what make it quite different in term of Reality Reconstruction as I feel that propagation of sound via air does not have linear “audio ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, what I am talking about is ability for an amp to have some kind of inner-algorithm that dynamically and actively “color” or better to say “dye” signals, still maintaining general color-neutral tendencies. Since I ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]UNSYSTEMATIC AND CHAOTIC NATURE of the DHT timing was truly phenomenal.[/quote]
You had described the Melquiades as a "reality Reconstruction" amplifier. In my mind, I have always associated the unpredictable quality you ...

I agree that it is difficult to extract the color of the DHT from the 300B and indeed from the circuit used in this experiment. It would be good also to listen to some IDHT 300B amplifier.
However, there is something to be said for the certain ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also, there are a lot of people out there who love to propose to modify and to improve the TU-X1. Be careful with it and might be done but very accurately. In fact I spoke with a few modification specialists and was a bit a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]What however is very practicable is some kind of sealed TT mat of 2-3 cm tall, fully filed with mercury. It would be 10kG of inertial mass – it might work… The question is how?[/quote]Ah, this is a GOOD idea! Wood would be ...

Now two months later, it seems the unit in the first few weeks needed to settle in. The effect of collapsing sound images gradually has gone away. Now, the unit before it warms up still retains some of the "silky soft accuracy" character, but this ...

Easier to make might be a device like a record clamp you can attach to an existing turntable platter. It should be easy to do the experiment by trying a weight on the turntable platter:
1. a solid weight
2. an equal weight container of viscous liq...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have a local Bostonian guy have replied brought today a very interesting DHT amp. He has a number of DHTs and this one he reports is the special one, quite expensive as well. Although the electricity was not good to...

Romy,
But how can you make the Melquiades as a DHT amplifier? I do not see it. But otherwise you will be comparing the tonal characteristics of just different topologies and parts, not comparing DHT to IDHT. If this is the objective, then I th...

I have lately been comparing the stereo and mono versions of many recordings from the 50's, and I have found that even when using the same stereo needle and closely matched for stamper number, the mono version is consistently better than the stereo v...

[quote user="Paul S"]I think I remember reading that Jack Bybee used some sort of nano-crystaline ferric dust or something that is supposed to quiet the noise riding on the current. However stupid it sounds, it is my understanding that thi...

There is no mystery to quantum mechanics. Tunneling is a deceptive term, as it refers to an imaginary "hill" of potential that must be overcome.
Imagine it like miniature golf. There is a big hill with a tiny hole at the bottom and you want to ge...

Again, I want to emphasize that I very much agree with the idea that there are levels of perception. Your explanation is nevertheless a good one and is consistent with my ideas as well. I simply feel that once can AFFECT levels of perception indepen...

[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" system could somehow...

Firstly I do very much agree with the fundamental idea of the seven levels of audio perception, but my view on them is slightly different.
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also, it is not up to the listener to select the depth of the levels listens.[/qu...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I feel that those approaches exist but I do not see them conflicting at all. So, the additive vs. subtractive listening “works” only at the most primitive Static perception level.[/quote]I must disagree with this asse...

[quote user="Paul S"]"neutrality' is not to be confused with "bland", nor does it allow for much "distortion".; In other words, "neutrality" is for me an ideal based on my own Sense of the Sound, and, obviously, I never thought of it in the terms you...

It is easy to be attracted to the sounds -- the artifacts f stereo reproduction. The diving rod I use is to keep in mind that I am thinking about a stereo reproducing a recording of a musical performance. I want to connect as closely as possible wi...
