Mani, please keep us posted on your impressions of the bass and midbass. They look wonderful! Are they both in the corners of the room ? Could you please give room dimensions with seating position indicated? I would be very interested in hearing mor...

Adrian, can you confirm whether you were using cable with shielding or without? Like you I had the buzzing go away when on battery or without PP2000 in system. It became dead silent. Then with PP2000 back in system there was buzzing. I went to all sh...

I have not seen it mentioned but I might of missed it. The PurePower absolutely demands shielded interconnects especially between preamp and amp in my experience. No matter how careful I route the cables, I was getting noise or buzzing from the speak...

Eli,
I was in the same place at one time and accepted my listening as it was in relation to electricity. You say
"When [electricity] is good great and when is ok I live with it and when is terrible I just walk away".
This is fine to say...

I was tipped off to a dac over at the proaudio forum Gearslutz. It is usually difficult to gauge those users references as most are responsible for many of the bad habits in audio record engineering. One user who I seem to agree philosophically with ...

Although I see how this thread has leaned towards the product which Purepower designed and had built and now designs and builds I'm not sure why it has become a Purepower service thread. I do not have the new + product but do have a couple of the pr...

Please don't judge all Canadians from the sounds you'll hear there at the show. Be prepared for some very bad 'computer' audio. It was almost everywhere. Well it was so in the past. The only consolation is the food throughout Montreal. It is perhaps ...

Decoud, Would you mind giving some specifics of your system and room? Your observations should be considered within context. I personally have been interested in the Melquiades strengths and limitations and it is within a whole system that these obse...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] It was exactly what I was experimenting for many times since 2005 and I came to exactly opposite finding. I am not able to make neither LP, tape or CD to copy in digital that would sound like original source. I am able to ...

Reading the title of the original post I was under the impression that a new product was out or discovered that was a computer based optical drive system with storage as it's secondary function but it looks like just another storage based system with...

I wonder if the inappropriate settings for 2 channel audio somehow might have affected your experiments with it as a transport in your main audio only system? I was curious about your experiment as I do need a transport to play the odd cd. One thing ...

Very interesting theory. I can only ad that when I used to work for a hospital way back when, an increase in emergency room activity was always seen around full or fuller moons. It seems an increase agressiveness or increased energy levels got more p...

Awhile back I had a conversation via email with Tom Danley concerning the Phoenix Gold Cyclone that he developed for Phoenix Gold and the car audio market. They were not well built by Phoenix Gold with some crucial parts made of plastic (although...

Yes the Bidat does lock 48khz very well and so does the Idat-m. Something even more suprising and coming from someone that knows these dacs very well is that on a few samples of Bidat they even lock at 96khz! Alas I am not so lucky. Mine is 44.1 and ...

Romy, You have mentioned somewhere in the Bidat-Lavry thread about the Bidat being a 20 bit dac but throws out 4 bits (quote below). But, you have also stated that you play 20/44.1 files from your pc set-up into the Bidat and more specifically to co...

Romy, My Bidat being extremely sensitive to incoming electricity and now with Purepower in my mix I am getting to know my Bidat in a new light. I did think I had a grasp of what the Bidat could and couldn't do but feeding it through Purepower it has ...

In my unit there is definately a change in sound running from wall from early in the day to late evening. In the late evening being the better. Before the Purepower this was much more noticeable but to quantify it, the worse day with the Purepower is...

Actually the thermal efficiency or inefficiency is not the problem. It is the condensation that occurs when a cold plane meets a warm one. Warm air vapour WILL condense on the colder plane of the attic. what is in between is your wooden horn structur...

Romy Do you think the Bidat will be back before the move for impressions on the mods? It might be hard to tell what/if the mods make a difference in a positive directions if you throw a whole new room into it. Your experimental control group will be ...

I meant to say it would start at 30 feet and then extend to whatever the maximum length the unit you choose extends to. After use you can retract and make city and neighbors happy.

That is 15 feet above roof line, so say 30 feet altogether if placed away from home in backyard. At 30 feet you could have a nice retractable type almost like the old car pull up telescopic antennae where they are sections within each other.http:...

Nice drawings Romy. It's looks from them that it is not too bad a situation IF your dealing with roof rafters and not trusses. Trusses look similiar to this link: http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cedar-log-homes.com/Small-stuff-images/T...

Hm, I was so proud about myself for a few days. I thought I have a key how to render my midbass horn in perfects time-aligned position and to make it literally invisible in my new room. It was such an elegant design!!! I...

The proper way is little more involving but doable as I believe you don't mind customizing structure as you will probably be in the new house for good or a very long time. Sister joists PL glued and screwed to original joist (wood or engineered( ful...
