Decoud, I posted something about Powerinspired a year or two ago. The problem is that all but their smallest units has a fan apparently so it might require an out of room location. Also they only have 220v models . I sent them an email about a 110-12...

Adrian, Your Tesla comparison makes an unwarranted assumption. Tesla has professional management, an established supply chain and a stable production schedule. PP has none of that. It functions more as a sideline than a normal business. If people w...

I can think of better hobbies but their actions are irritating or worse. I think part of the problem here is that PP is likely as dilatory in paying their suppliers. So they have to amass sufficient capital to pay for supplies 100% in advance before...

[quote user="david82"]I purchased a PurePower 2000 many years ago and it worked fine, but I decided to sell it as I switched to a different power conditioning solution. I sold the unit to someone, and he claimed it would not work on battery backup. A...

Adrian,I am sure you are happy you eventually after years got a Purepower unit after they took yours and "misplaced" it. But if it wasn't for the constant harping on this sorry treatment by you, me and others in these threads who knows what would hav...

I think the issue is not the questions per se but what Musical result are you looking for? We all have make or break criteria for listening to music through audio systems whether stated or unstated. Experience has shown that you need to define the go...

Since I don't have a DSD DAC, only a SACD player, there was no way to listen. There's a link to a description of the event by Gramophone. It sounded more like an operational test than something they expected to work flawlessly. It was supposed to be...

I love Russian orchestral music but have never been a fan of Russian solo piano music. Even their chamber music I find meh with only a few exceptions. ...

Romy,It is possible that he is concerned about people in the big Asian country near Japan taking these various ideas and producing knockoffs or even worse upgrades to his basic design. It is revealing that he says "intellectual deprivation" rather th...

Creative people often have inner demons and strange beliefs. I am one of the few exceptions to that according to myself. I will be careful never to praise another Baron Tim product to avoid confusing him that I am engaging in intellectual theft. Yes ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Speakers don't like boxes…not only because Sound but also because “no boxes” is good for
storage. I mean it. One of the greatest space compression idea that I experienced
this weekend was that if I trash the driver boxes ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]People who read my site know that I consider Mussorgsky as the most remarkable naturally talented composer among all composers guild. Next week it will be the Modest’s 170 birthday and my WGBH will broadcast Oliver Knusse...

Nice thread about old Boris. Like you I have no problem with R-K's version of the opera. Once Mussorgsky added the Polish scenes and all the romantic cooing he moved the opera into 19th C grand opera for which R-K was perfectly attuned and did a good...

I don't want to pull the thread way off but the thought occurred to me while reading here that audio bass never fools me into thinking it is real. Even my middling system once in a while can fool me in the midrange and treble for a few seconds or so....

I think conceptually it would be great if everything were streamed even at CD levels. For 90% or more of listeners that would be an improvement. Given the wide scale manipulations in the remasterings being done by the iphone listening staff at the re...

I got an email from a site visitor with an interesting question:
The last few years were rocking for my listening habits. Falling in love, mirage, birth a child… all of it come with unquestionabl...

Romy my friend, Someone should have told you that old age is not for sissies nor the dignified. My non satirical opinion is that this subject is not worth the filespace. It is sort of like MP3 for hi-rez. Happy New Year BTW and all the best to the f...

MQA stands for Master Quality Authenticated and is Meridian's answer to
delivering high resolution quality in a lossless compressed proprietary
format that squeezes down even 24/192 files to roughly the size of
CD-quality files.
MQA, or Maste...

I thought the file fragmentation issue was the reason for having buffering memory where the file or at least a significant portion gets pre-loaded into memory. Since that is widespread I don't see why the file fragmentation on the hard drive would cr...

I am no expert on digital although I certainly read a lot on DSD and DVD-A back in the day. However, once you use the standard D/A chip as lampizator acknowledges, you are at the point of a tweaker for the rest. It is like a speaker manufacturer who ...

Very glad to hear that mother and baby are doing well. I never would have guessed when I first joined this Forum that Romy would end up as the normative family man within a few years. Remember that Thomas can hear higher frequencies so you may have t...

Greek pressing plants did popular music not classical AFAIK. Actually Greek pressings of pop music are pretty good. The big companies like EMI and philips had operations there in the post war era and their vinyl have good surfaces. for the most part...

There have been all kinds of articles on the smart grid for some years now. There is no dispute that digital monitoring devices dump noise into the line intermittently. Romy has graphed apparent bursts of grid noise on this site. It is also not a sec...

I guess young people like Romy are going to be facing a quiet future - or you will get a visit from OSHA. The symphony orchestra hall will have QUIET signs posted everywhere and the orchestra will have a top screen that flashes the dynamic level the...

I think a movement from the B4 is probably the best quick intro in such situations. Either the first movement or the Scherzo has immediate appeal I would think. If they prefer vocal music then the Te Deum....

Yes it always makes sense to raise the prices for the audiofools. When I did the market survey the first thing that jumped out at me was the major reduction in prices of the commercial vendors vs the audio vendors of double conversion devices. Typica...

Power Inspired seemed to be somewhat new to the audio field although it's quite possible that they were making related products for industrial customers. In my own market survey some months ago I found 4 credible US manufacturers of double conversio...
