Romy says I was kind of
considering running a dedicated line but I am a bit defensive with it. I
do have dedicated line the power my PP3000 and the rest playback. I
installed it last summer but my regular power output from the wall in...

The pros and cons of batteries are fairly well known even in the captive audio press. I like the idea of digital conversion devices running off batteries. Field recording devices with ADCs and DACs can sound cleaner than those running off the grid. T...

Thank you St Biggy for visiting this benighted world, asking your inane questions and only asking that everyone else indulge your lazy ignorance. You could have said " Upon rereading my first post I see that I have just sat around expecting everyone ...

Romy, An interesting (and somewhat scary) poster. You are minding your own business and going to the trouble of setting up and maintaining a vast website on all kinds of audio issues. So someone from Italy shows up and expects you to be his audio ps...

Romy, Why do you think the improved sonics were related to the residual noise or more precisely the hypothetical delta of noise components from one day to the next? You were very non specific about what was better and to what degree. If you are perc...

Romy, You make an excellent point about digital processing at least in its current form. I think that it will take a quantum advance in waveform reconstruction and modeling techniques to effectively increase the fidelity of digital audio processing r...

Romy, As you have noted elsewhere, SACD was originally a multibit high sample rate format. I believe Sony went to one bit for "security" reasons to prevent copying. I didn't think the one bit idea originated with Meitner but came from Sony execs. I t...

Romy says: I like when my playback is driven from one single PP2000. I
will make more experiment of course but as now is what I’m witnessing.
This configuration with single PP2000 has a number of Sonic advantages.Boy do I feel validated...

Romy said So, I wondering if the
Audience recognize the problem of switching injection to source and if
they have their own Auricaps that are effective with the switching then
why they do not shunt the front of their own preamps and ...

To be more specific about the Audience units, I initially thought they worked better in the audio chain than others at clearing up and clarifying sonic textures without slowing or hardening sounds.. But I started to notice that low level harmonic inf...

Dear Romy, I'm not surprised at your disappointing results as I have experienced the same with a variety of power filtration or generating devices. Your surmise is correct that such devices work much more easily with AV equipment or computers than t...

Amir, You are just not reading and thinking about it carefully enough. The only point of Romy's that I might have some slight question is that a great system can make a beautifully recorded second rate (not bad) performance sound satisfactory enough...

FWIW I tried quite a few isolation and power conditioner products over the years. The only ones that I still use and feel do more good than harm are the now discontinued PS Audio Ultimate Outlets. They are simply good quality baluns. The advantage ...

Wagner considered Bruckner unintellectual and uninformed but he did Not have a low opinion of Bruckner as a composer. Two entirely different things. Many people thought Bruckner was extremely naive socially speaking and not conversant with the ideas ...

Romy,FWIW I listened to a lot of Bruckner and Mahler when I was younger. Over time I noticed that I preferred Mahler when he was more objective and Bruckner when he was more subjective. So at my riper age I listen to Mahler's Sym 2 and 9 and occas...

Actually I don't find it surprising that engineers don't realize the sonic effects of their engineering. Remember all the indignant articles and letters they wrote about how great solid state amps with low THD sound and how lousy tubes are. In the ca...

playing the records for the last week I kind of turned to like it…
again. The renaissance of record playing habits? That is interesting….
There is a psychophysiological process called habituation (...

Romy said: There is
even more advanced way to benefit the “modern (dissonant) music to
“medicine” if with FM modulation-demodulation. I know - it sounds
idiotically but I can listen quite a lot of modern music pleasingly
over my FM and...

Philadelphia Orchestra lead by Riccardo Muti. I did not have this
recording before. I do not know how Muti’s version is interesting among
other performances of this peace – the “Right of Spring” never ...

I"m not an expert on SACD either but my recollection from the late 90s is that Sony went to 1 bit out of a desire for copy protection of the digital encoding. One bit is not editable in DSD and would have to be processed in PCM or analogue. D...

Responding to the statements in the Cat's second paragraph concerning lp downsizing:FWIW I had a similar dissatisfaction several years ago although I had nowhere near the number of lps that Cat has. My library was about 2000 lps. I had already gotten...
