I assure you that my experience has very little meaning to others as I do not look for “better tube” but look for a tube that would go the best in my specific DSET application and in very custom application of Macondo MF channel. Also, a local gu...

Eventually, I had a chance to spend last night with up and running new Milq (no tweeters was involved at this point). As I said before, the major fight was around the MF channel and I feel I did found a good configuration where the MF channel takes a...

This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering. There is an army of people out there who would swear by a complete transpare...

You should take care that you do not daisy chain the ground leads. Refer to following text.From my perspective, you should treat the L and N leads as one type of circuit and the PE as a separate circuit. Electrical codes, rules etc do not insist tha...

Well, another page of my saga with APS regenerator is turned. I got the updated APS unit. It kind of “works” as I redefined the definition of word “works”. Under normal circumstances I would walk away from it but there are some moments in my “bad ele...

Hi Thorsten,
"I agree. I
have to note that even in active preamp I/We (the we are friends from
the London Live DIY Circle) tend to prefer TVC's over resistors."
Hmmm....I guess I can't really see that unless you are enjoying a
particular col...

Well,
The most miserable things about electricity that you never know what to do. I had in past different filters and mny imaginable power gismos, a number of isolated transformers, balanced transformers, regenerators…
For a couple years I was runn...

Hi Romy[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
... I decided to listen my native feline instincts and go with them. So, decided to buy a Lavry’s Gold AD122. ....Now, the biggest problem remains what digital I/O PC interface to use after the Lavry’s digital...

This new “Rev B” Ortofone Jubilee surprised me with it amassing agreeability
I have a nasty habit to emphasize in my listening attention the things that I do not appreciate. I might listen something, would it be amp, or speaker, or live event,...

I am not a big fun of Dvorak 9th under Ancerl. I’m not big fun nether the orchestra’s balance nor the recording quality. Anyhow…
I do not think that that you need to worry PH-77’s accuracy of curves or the comfort to switch them. It looks lik...

I never tried the Onyx. I had an Urushi, then a Jade, and now a Coralstone. No I didn't buy any of them in the US so I paid a lot less than the crazy retail prices people throw around. I only know one person personally who did try an Onyx and he d...

Yep, Telstar. The 1547 was use in Sony and Teac CD players and believe the first CD-SACD machines used that chip. I know very little about those chips and have none of my personal experience to deal with all of it. The reasons why I brought it up bec...

There are some information here and here, particularly among those who knows, how the misbalance of the power polarity between the components of your systems can screw sound. Certainly the auditable benefits are very substantial and anyone who power ...

Let start from far away…. Sometime in the past, while I was fighting with bad electricity, I was trying a variety of symmetric transformers. I do not know if they were implemented as good as they should (I doubt) but I detected an interesting common ...

I think my new room and new midbass horn will give me an opportunity to play at the NEW LEVEL with a notion that I have been chasing for years. I am taking about perceptual shrinking of frequency response. I need to admit that most of the ugliest...

[quote user="rowuk"]How many sources do you currently have? If you are building a phono corrector, make it for 4 volts output. If you have a PC for digital playback, there are good DACs with more than 2V output. That would leave a tuner to pimp - cer...
