[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I know that this post will be lost in the jungles of my site and I am OK with it. Those who follow my site regularly will have a chance to read it not to mention that for me a message is not what heard by other what I ...

[quote user="Paul S"] I wonder how many cities have good FM programming and broadcasting? Los Angeles was great, back when I lived in Venice, with interesting stuff going on around the clock. San Diego is quite limited, and I get Bupkis f...

[quote user="steverino"] 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 d...

I wonder if the Super Electricity Days hide another side in themselves. Remind you that the Super Electricity Days in the magnitude of sound quality are way beyond of what any devises including the PP2000 are able to furnish. I might explain the OTHE...

I have stated several times that the ML2s are less sensitive to bad electricity than my phono stage, and this is true. However, this is not to say that the amps are immune to bad electricity. In fact, it is the effects of bad electricity ...

Rony,
There are two possibilities as I can see them.
First is that your new hybrid amp just simply better then you former amp. Between us in case of Threshold, Jeff Rowland or McIntoshes it would not be so hard to come by to a better am, not to me...

Funny, I was just thinking about battery powering of amps... I know you have identified that the problem is more with the sources, but it would be interesting and quite feasible with the Melquiades and other components... wouldn't want to try it...

Among the contemporary ion tweeters I heard only with Acapellas, multiple times, never was happy with the results as the tweeters sounded as different drivers to the enter speaker. Also in a past I bought on eBay a number of vintage ion tweeters – th...

Adrian, I do not make presumption about Chinese absolute level of audio but I rather am saying that their level of reference points is unknown. Yes, it is possible that a company would make intentionally of accidently a wonderful product. After all, ...

I'm not sure if yoy are aware of the fact that LED bulds have small but powerfull voltage converters inside operating at 40kHz or so, RF poluting the room and the lines. better avoid than filter.Halogen bulbs (halogen element packed in a normal bulb ...

A few days back a guy who began recently to use a power regenerators that eliminates a great deal of compression out of sound was reported that soundstage the he did not like did despair. In this thread I was advocated that “soundstage” as a surrogat...

Romy, Just make a good power generator that will not screw up dynamics and not be affected by dirty power. You had some ideas before (60Hz sine wave + amp with a lot of power) and you have experience in this matter. That will take care of all folks ...

[quote user="serenechaos"] The closest I could come to describing the SOUND, when the source was right; (Charles King's Stellavox) & good electricity (JJ filter) was …. being exceptionally smooth [/quote]
Yep, the strange smoothnes was something...

This weekend I made an interesting experiment. I had a visitor yesterday. The gay is not what I call overly critical and overly demanding listener but he is not a typical Audio Moron and has from my point of view a proper and sane react...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The wider question is very interesting: if we need to make any design provisions in case we know that our audio is powered by “good sounding electricity”.[/quote]This is an interesting question. There is no question in my ...

[quote user="floobydust"]one can identify multiple devices that provide clean power without impacting the sound quality then thru some level of analysis[/quote]Yes, the "analysis" is called listening. :)

The holly shit! How bad my electricity was in downtown and it was bad! However, here in suburb it is not even bad but 10 times worse. In city it just produced bad sound. Here, in West Woburn, it not just does bad sound but it almost translates the th...

[quote user="zanon"]Romy:you must mean person with Zu Druid. What did he not like about Druid in the end (bass aside)? What did he not like about Altec? What off-the-shelf speaker is he going to try next, or will he throw it all in and stick with Bos...

Indeed, this is a reference to how important electricity might be. After last night, I almost feel as though my equipment is a much less important factor and takes a backseat to everything else. At this stage, I am thinking it makes sense to park my ...

[quote user="joaco"] I think the amp is "immune" because of the nice circuit design ; condensator , choke and rectification (filtering) . [/quote]I think it is a mistaken view. There is nothing that be made in PS by chokes, rectification and filterin...

Thos who do not know how audio sound during the Super Electricity Days they do not know. I do know and I wonder: are the Super Electricity Days have own after-mark. I kind of pissed that it did not hit me early as I might wait for net Super Electrici...

Hm, I made today a very interesting observation. When electricity is good then the plate currents that I indicated at the picture above work very nice (LF in the left, upperbass in the middle and the HF on the right). When the electricity is bad then...

A friend of mine asked my last night if I feel that PurePower’s Sound as good as a playback during those extremely seldom moments when electrify is good. It was a good question and I feel that it is worth to cover.
First off all I can not say about ...

Hi Romy, I just wanted to mention that 'ground' in home ac is not 'ground' at all. It is actually 'neutral', a theoretical '0 volts'. In reality the resistance of the wire itself guarantees that there WILL BE voltage on that wire. Remember, vol...

[quote user="Paul S"]What a relief! No matter how many times it happens, at some point I always wind up adjusting my system to compensate for bad electricity! [/quote] I would concur with it – sine the temperature dropped last week here in Boston the...

A month or so ago I came to an occasion to fish a large isolation transformer. It is not that I believe in isolation transformers as all my former experiments with them delivered quite gruesome sonic result. However, since the APS people are still no...

Last night local guy stopped by to listen my last year changed in Audio. I proudly played to him a record on my “End of the Life Phonostage”… it sounded like crap. The electricity was not very good and I hardly was toleration when the record was over...

Here is what I have been thinking for a whale: how bad electricity impacts our long term judgment about the design decisions. Pretend we have a DSET amplifier and a speaker channel and we have a task to load the DSET’s plate properly. The proper load...
