Romy Hi, I completely understand your feelings towards the Hi-Fi trade and reviewers , I now ( since I started to represent cessaro ) grasp how the system works and it is often not a particulary noble or honest world , all I want is a dec...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not say how my saga with APS Pure Power regenerator finish but it never finished. Since the end of the last year the regenerators is sitting in my closet and I have sent the unit’s main board to APS people for the “re...

What greatly surprises me is that fact that all playback software sound very different. I wonder if the playback software just read the WAV file and rout the stream to sound card devise then why there is such a huge difference between the playback so...

I wrote before about the Accuphase T-1000 and about my interest about it. Since I record FM it is supers beneficial to me that Accuphase has digitalized multiplex decoder with digital out before the output DA converters. This would allow sucking out ...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi sorry to have wandered off topic, I am listening at the moment to an MSB Platinum Dac III, hoiping to get the lavry back for comparison, I believe the MSB is multi bit based on a ladder resistor , with 4 24 bit DAc m...

[quote user="Paul S"] … When I listen before I switch to battery, then listen after I switch, the unit starts sounding better and better over about 5 minutes, then it improves very slowly like it does on wall polwer, depending on how long I've warmed...

I use dual wire mode from Pacific and single wire mode from Lavry. I do not think that there is a difference between single and dual wire modes if the mixer is done properly. I prefer dual wire modes as Lynx clock slaving works very stupidly in dual ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The problem is that I detect that if I record in 44/24 or 88/24 in single-wire mode but the second wire is connected from Lynx to Pacific (and the line is muted by Lynx mixer) then I do have worsening of sound quality. The ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Pacific just does it apparently[/quote][EDITOK, I understand that in DD, the Model Two will reinsert the LSB. But I'm really interested in what the Model Two does when in AD mode. Would it still add the HDCD flag, or can th...

I never thought that it is so painful: to have a playback and no front-end thatcan drive my amps. Thankfully the Placette is coming back now with the whole 12 channels and the tape loop. I have some ideas how to chance the connections across the who...

[quote user="manisandher"] The last I heard from him, he was looking into how to get the clock frequency doubled, maybe by an external device (I think).[/quote] I do not like this idea. The frequency doublers are a very simple but it would need PS a...

Filing up one more hard drive I have to tell that if you have more than 4 gigabyte of recording then it become annoying… So, I kind of changed my ways how I record my FM. I record in 88K/24 only if it live broadcast and only by WGBH. All the rest bro...

The problem with my unit was that in A/D of one channel there was some kind of “very high precision capacitor” the value of which drifted. That offset the A/D and presented the unit to but up. There were a few other minor things that they found and a...

Well, leaving aside my "grinding axes", namely my habitual love to remind people and myself that there are plenty Morons in audio I do think that Berkeley's parley to Reference DAC is interesting. It is interesting not by the DAC as a unit but rather...

Romy, On a past thread you adviced the following regarding the connection of the PM2:"You will not have problems to drive with balanced Pacific your
single-ended amp. Juts buy a good quality XLR to RCA adapter or order
XLR to RCA cable and you wi...

I made first set of test with one PP2000 vs. two PP2000 driving my enter playback. All grounds were lifted on the load side. The presence of second PP2000 did not made sound bright as before, the second PP2000 sits sufficiently far from the first...

The Weiss AFI1 interface is measuring the following clock rates (in KHz) from the Model Two:
- 44.122- 88.244- 176.488
AND
- 48.000- 96.000- 192.000
Does this imply that the 48x clock is more accurate th...

[quote user="manisandher"] I strongy suspect this is down to his ADC (having owned the same machine myself until very recently). Good as the Tascam might be, it doesn't sound like it can match the Model Two. [/quote]
This is the subject that I...

I did today my first recording with Model 2. The configuration-wise it was very cool. The Pacific now in single-wire mode while it does A/B to 88/24 and the clock also outputs 88K. The single-wire mode is the reason why I moved from the Model One...

Well, I have to admit that the stupendous sensitivity that Sansui TU-1X have after the Stereo Surgeons tune up to use the TU-1X is kind of complicated. With 0.8mkV this tuner picks the noise that my DACs radiate. I staffed all wholes of the Sansui’s ...

Though my new updated Bidat is too fresh but considering that I know very well how the Nichicon KZ progress with sound I think I can make some preliminary observations about the revised sound of my Bidat.
The change was not a large, less than I expe...
