[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hold on, are you saying that manufacturers of phonostages who claim that they run RIAA curve with precision of 0.1db are full of shit? Ok, take the Fifths and do not answer this question.[/quote]There is nothing wrong with ...

Hi,
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
An interesting devise, They allow to adjust the midle point of the RIAA curve. I never have seen it and I wonder why would it be necessary or desierable?[/quote]Well, a range of mono EQ curves (and o...

Hi,
Only noticed this now....

Then don't do it.

Correct.

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]T, also if you knockewd up a small monitor then let me give you a lead that you might or not might find worth attention.[/quote]I'm taking the opposite appraoch to speaker enclosures. I accept that enclosure resonance...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Tm I ma glad that your “Manhattan project” is over as I was a little scared….[/quote]

Roman,> Any IC-base RIAA corrector should cost $30, with no expiations.Now now.... My "Analogue Addicts Phono Stage" is Op-Amp based and requires at current OEM bugetary pricing in 1000pc lots of $12.25 each. Add Tinfoil & Polystyrene Capacito...

Folks,It is really amusing. Here I am busy myself for a while and am not looking and suddenly Roman talks about Mini Monitors and secondar phonostages.It is even funnier if you realise taht I am on a similar kick right now, simply because I am workin...

Roman,If you dig this Cat, you might like Jephte Guillaume (his solo stuff on Spiritual Life Music) and to get an idea of my Wive's native music try Toumani Diabante and Mandingo, which you might also like.Ciao T...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have learned today that there is something g deeply wrong with it. [/quote]Not quite. What is wrong is not the Amplifier, but the use of headphones to replay recordings made for speaker reproduction. The way this pu...

....because where humans are concerned objectivity does not exist, is not possible, basically, all is subjective, deny this at your own peril.....[quote user="Romy the Cat"]In audio we juts reproduce Sound and it is not necessary to dive into the jan...

[ Romy: Moved as a reply to http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=2218#2218 ]Hi Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Let pretend that a group of 1000 people have an imaginary ultimate 1000000-bands equalizer, the one that do nothing nega...

Folks,Before we discuss "high distortion" amplifiers, lets us ask what kind of SPL Romy's system produces.I don't know, so let me make some eduacated, conservative guesses.Let us assume his midrange and treble Systems are both 100db/W/m and he listen...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]T, it you feel that Sound is subjective then explain it to the thousands fools who compose, conductor and perform music, trying to communicate thier subjective ideas unrig perfectly objective universal language. When ...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]There is nothing subjective in music reproduction if a person has original, natural and none-corrupted reference points.[/quote]Forgive me for saying so, but since Bishop Berkley and David Hume it should be well clear...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]it is highly possible that you are correct but it was exactly the point of my in initial post - the people worship the clock upgrades but 99% of then just throw in the new clocks, or do exactly what I did. [/quote]And I ...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Regardless the rest. I clack that I used was Audiocom Superclock that most like is good clock.[/quote] It likely is. I still use an earlier version of it in my main CD-Player, actually an extremely hacked up early g...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I heard 4 (!!!!) complete contradictory descriptions how high level of jitter manifest itself subjectively – interesting that they all derived from the engineers whose credibility is very high (not juts the audio-tweaker...

Hi,[quote user="Genn"]May be it is time to review some basic concepts?[/quote]I am quite familiar with them, thank you.[quote]I'm using today IC based, Accu powered small amplifier, and it reproduces music, without any noise and distorsion from angry...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]could I instead of trashing the tube to flip it to the left filament and continue to use the unused part of the cathode, plate and filament? [/quote]Sure you could.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Theoretically it might be the...

Meeeeeowwwwww,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Among the imperfection I would mention the mains voltage fluctuation. It could be fixed only by regulation with all negative sonic consequences of regulation.[/quote]I find this comment most illuminating.I can...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]May I ask you, this realization of yours… dose it has any “sound”. [/quote]The one we have build which is a little different (6S45 not C3g, also tried WE 417A, 437A, TX-101 Copper not silver, AN UK Line Output Transfo...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]You may be right. It would perhaps be worthwhile to look into "better" transformers but I am not sure that an advantage can be found over just going RCA to XLR adaptor into the balanced inputs and thereby bypassing the...
|
|
Hi,[quote user="morricab"]As to the best transformers souding more transparent than the best resistors, I'll believe it when I (don't?) hear it. You claim to have heard this but I most certainly haven't. [/quote] Well, the claim is no...

|
Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]T, would you elaborate on it if you feel that it has any merit?[/quote]Really, I do not know. From my limited experience I have found that multiway active systems are very much a tuning excercise par excellance. Given th...

Folks,A maker of Magnetics reading along has taken me privatly a little to task, it seems I was not clear enough with some of my statements, apologies.First, I seemingly stated that Amorphous material was "always iron", that was not my intention, amo...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]Hmmm....I guess I can't really see that unless you are enjoying a particular coloration you are getting from the TVC.[/quote] Nope. On this you are wrong. Based on direct bypass tests the TVC's I USE (that is the specif...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]Thanks for the info about transformers. It is as I expected, however, that these passive devices are not passive sonically at all. I agree with you that the higher quality of the transformers should lessen the effects ...
