The title of this thread would appear laughable for anyone who practices audio more than a week. This is as beaten subject as Tubes vs. SS or Mosfet vs. Bipoloar. However, with all my awareness about the popular Analog vs. Digital debate I with a...

Well the marketing power can change dirt into gold, we all know that. I have no problems with manufacturers who offer "such" units. We, the customers (especially here in this Forum) are fixed on the quality of sound. Some years ago there was a meetin...

David, I am not sure what your reply was all about and I am not sure where you saw hostility. You report that one way produces better result then other. I asked to elaborate what this “better” is in your observation and you went into talking about m...

While it may be that a given "basement" operation really means to "do a better job" in terms of QA and/or sonic results, the technical difficulty (and cost) of actually doing this with tiny "critical specification" parts must be daunting, to say the ...

Rakesh, Equi=Tech is a know player in the fields of audio electricity. Back in 2001-2002 I had 3 of the Equi=Tech transformers. I was not pleased with results. I do not like the balanced operation for power lines – in my view it does something with h...

The ECL82 = 6BM8 was used a lot in low-end amps, both push-pull and single-ended. Actually, according to your radio's schematic to which you posted a link, they are not being used "one per channel," rather it is a mono radio (nothing wrong with that...

[quote user="manisandher"] I'm actually not advocating anything to you Romy. I'm just asking whether you are bonding your dedicated ground to Neutral. If so, I can't see how cheater plugs would help in your situation - your dedicated ground and your ...

Romy , I don´t think this is a typical ups unit , but a little more advanced than a typical ups . I think typical UPS does not have double-conversion , at least here in Chile . Note that Pure Power claims "via double conversion technology ..." in som...

Digital: “Binary data”Trans: “across, beyond, to the other side”-Port: “transferring or carrying”You'll note the conspicuous absence of reference to 'spinning disks'. By strict definition, a digital transport only processes data and delivers it to a ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] If the intention was to give people an experience of how large scale music/sound reproduction was or could have been 70 or 80 years ago, then the arrangement they chose was probably quite successful. A modern LF system wou...

Wow, didn't I just do this? For all the tedium with directed listening to a de-constructed system, 2011 went by in a blink!This has been for me The Year of the Driver. Much learned, and much yet to learn with repect to choosing, modifying, combinin...

In his RMAF the Federated Mike post some comments about his use of ML3:

Even though his comments from my point of view have “issuers” but Mike’s comments sti...

I think the key to understanding this case is that it is beginning to look like the tubes that came with the amp all were over the hill, electrically. Since I have no way to test them other than by ear, that is what I have done. So f...

Hi Guy,Thanks very much for providing me your insights on the SP10.I have to confess when I initially read your comments I could not help but be astounded that a person involved with a Brit belt driven, light weight, suspended turntable would be usin...

Mind boggling iteration! I.e. & eliminating common denominators, "If the sound is wrong... it is wrong."Agreed. IMO they are right -- ain't no two ways about it.[quote]The Cybernetic Audio System, on the other hand, uses a closed-loop feedba...

Merlin here is the Stereophile measurements on the Lamm ML2.1http://stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/1004lamm/index4.htmlAs you can see the rise in distortion vs. frequency shows only a small rise in distortion even down to 10Hz. This is an indica...

I have been poking around your highly intellectual site for a day or two now. Quite excellent. I noticed you have direct drive towers for bass fundiment support. Would you want to clarify their activity and bring it to the level of the horns? I have ...

Romy,
I actually prefer the essence from the other end of summer, that wet, clear water running sound, so exuberant and hopeful ... though autumnal music has its own joys.. you only need encounter Vivaldi's Four seasons portrayed by N. Marrine...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]….as of now I'm convinced that a compression driver is the best way to go for fast, detailed and dynamic bass. The compression ratio needs to be just right, and the horn needs to be right, when these two are working together p...

Kids, do not let kids to subscribe the popular audio-freakish myths of the records spinning people about “the extraordinary beauty” of the Denon cartridges. Yes, the myth has some reasons: many more expensive cartridges are bad, very bad for th...
