Here's a computer playback approach that I though people might be interested in. In many ways, it's pretty much the leading edge of computer playback as far as I know.The idea here is to isolate the DAC as much as possible from the PC. All the audio ...

I have found the problem and was able to resolve the noise quandary.
The Lavry ADC has balance analog input and the Sansui has single-ended output. I use my PAD’s Dominus cable with an RCA to XLR adapter. The adaptor was made by BAT and I used it f...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I plug it for a first time today. It looks like it is sensitive like hell and I did not hear any titanium problems on it even without low pass filter. I do not have infrastructure now to look into it further. [/quote] I ...

With all hugely exuberant welcoming and DSET and multi-way acoustic system approach I have to admit that it is a enormous pain in ass to maintain the system.
Two weeks ago I begin detect that my left channel somewhere in upper MF began to throw some...

user="anthony"]Well, probably not up in smoke, but it is just not
functional any more. I was away for a few days and came back to my room
to find the Placette refusing to change volume or select a source input, so
something is amiss. Per...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]However, over the years I have seen
that the low voltage adapter get weaker and impact the remote control functionality.
Also, the type of the low voltage adapter I used did have very profound impact
to sound, which abso...

KeithGoto's recommendation is to buy the throat piece of a S150 horn(It comes in 2 pieces).Then have the horn cut to the exact diameter of your tractrix and have a flange welded on.They made a special adapter for my mid horn,but recommended the above...

JP, that are funny settings. You source the clock from AES line but do lock it. I do not know at what rate you record but you’re A/D looks like output 88K, you card read 44K and it is not locked – a complete mess. Call ...

I have been wanting to set up my components for recording of broadcasts for a while now so this would be good incentive to shift my backside into gear.My Sansui TU-X1 has been restored and improvements made. I am very happy with the results at ...

Yeah, I'm a little slow here. Had very busy week pumping out machines. I do have two custom tube adapter cards built. One traces two separate 6e5p at same time (great for comparing). The other is for 6c33. So it's just a...

[quote user="tuga"]I can't find a/the post(s) where you describe the advantages of using a 4 inch throat. Stereo-lab makes both 4 and 8 inch throat 140Hz horns but I don't think they could make an 8 to 4 inch adapter... [...

For now I'm quite sure about one very important channel - 1200Hz+.
JBL2453 in 550Hz LeClech horn works perfectly for me!
For the lower channel 500-1200Hz I've tried the same driver JBL2453 in 350Hz Tractrix and result is not bad, but not pe...

Funny, funny but those 2 47uf capacitors are the only eminent the worth to keep in this kit – they looks like very good polypropylene caps. I also a person who go uselessly go for chokes with high DCR not lover. Anyhow, I am not changing any magnetic...

Yes, I understand Bud that anything might be done but I do not want any DIY solution. To deal with all of the shielding, with grounds… I do not want to be involved into all of it. Also, the transformer shall sit at the RCA exit jacks of phono cable. ...

Hello Chris, Yes, the 340s are superb. Martin suggested I cut them myself, but they're very nicely made and I really don't want to make a pig's ear of it. I wish I'd had him make them with an "adapter" so I could use larger format drivers. I didn't h...

There is another very good article with the simple resistors conversion network.

Still, I would like to make it “kosher” and have ordered the double adaptor with a transformer from RedCo:

I sound as moronic as it could be but I found myself straggling with new thing. I am experimenting now with a new AD/DA processor in my system and to my big surprise my addiction to the Synopsis digital cables is nailing me down.
As now I have 4 AES...

Kris, I agree with you about the unobtainable 300Hz.Had really hoped for that, but so far no go with my set up:An old Oris-150 with a 4" throat wood adapter/cradle that John Sheerin made for me,with the 2482 playing out the back, so you see the entir...

I got GOTO drivers to see how they are going to work in 46Hz horn!This is just luck, as I never expected to find them in Russia, but I did!They are in mint condition, used very little, bought 8 years ago directly from GOTO factory.I have 4pcs - 2 per...

Thanks for the info Meiko41 !
At what load (the percentage on the display) does the noise from the capacitors becomes annoying ? Do the fans stay always on or they kick in when you reach certain temperature ? I guess the fan is not an issue if...

[quote]Is this one of those shining moments?[/quote]It could have been. The theory seems pretty reasonable to me at the moment. Time will tell. I'll make up a new adapter card that runs both sections and add a pot to negatively...

Speaking of Magic Power Cords, here's yet another option for those who believe that if a magic solution to power problems exists, then it will be expensive. Sure, it is possible to pay considerably more for a power cord with far less to say about it...
