Why not try to build on/off the best one has gotten to date? Without some kind of a pivot, there is only drifting; plus, it's got to be nice to have a fall-back position. I'd be perfectly happy to just BUY the damned cable, believe me, if...

This is a whole point with the screens. I spoke with the guys who practice HT and the gave a whole lot of information about screens p I kind of find it ridicules that they are expensive and I find it not true that they are “difficult to made”. The mo...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]This is one of my favorite topics. [/quote]I completly share this sentiment.There is clearly nothing nearly as important as the listening room itself and having the possibility of building a listening room from scratch is ...

Just incorporated this wonder into my system! haven't heard a live orchestra broadcast yet but even voices from the studio have something special, some magic aura.
This is how I use it:

Thank you Clark for your comment.Unfortunately, I think that you missed the point. It is possible that a power cord can change things. The description „better“ is a moving target however. Let us take for example a „full range“ driver in a backloaded ...

OK, no one argue that FM is good BUT the cost and complexity to record doe FM is quite high. It look like that it might not be more simple – to turn your tuner, to turn your A/D, to tune your DAW and to record whatever you wish. Well, l it is surpris...

So, to recall everything g the 3 major modifications were done on REL tuner:
1) Change of Detector diodes from 60 year old glass diodes to 1N5711– with huge advance to Sound
2) Change diodes that come to grids of the limiter stage t...

[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...

As I said - the “smart” Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 is virtually immune form any signal overload at list I was not able to found the station what need attenuation. The gloriously sounding Sansui SU-X1 had much more stupid frond end and this beast nee...

This became really insulting: the FM broadcasts from a consumer quality radio delivery in my listening room the level of audio quality at absolutely unmatched level.
I’m not kidding. The Sansui TU-X1 that I use is a consumer machine made without any...

This subject is interesting but unfortunately there are more options then time in life to experiment with all of them. The idea to use fatter cable is right atop of surface. It is not about current caring but the lower impedance of the cable. Remembe...

[quote user="Paul S"]N-Set, why would you disconnect from the house neutral, unless you are using battery power??? This "neutral" is the "ground" leg of your circuit! The house neutral wire is typically white, and the house ground wire is typically g...

Scott,
Unfortunately Bruno Walter is not my guy, and particularly on Richard Strauss and therefore I would not help you. However, I would suggest you to find a different, more productive venue to research performances after those “just heard” exper...

[quote user="jp"]In my experimentations, the da924 doesnt contribute much noise in my setup. Rather in my setup its the lavry ad122 thats the trouble maker. When all digital is turned off I have a very quiet background. Here are my observations...

What I what to do it relatively simple. I was thinking to write up my own application that would handle the task but then I figured out that it is 21 century and it should be something like this out there ready to go for a 3 easy payments of $9.95.

I was sitting quietly and without bother anybody, listening my new discovered and wonderfully-different played Tosca by MTT and Hungarian State Symphony and suddenly I realized that it was Thursday evening and WCRB shall be broadcasting live from...

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="misnacat"] I'm not engaged to my Accuphase though I do care about it.I read your comment on the ASP antenna and went to their site. In their tuner section for alignment and repairs they have amoung other tuners a T100 featured I assu...

Last two weeks I play a strange game with myself while I am waking in my room. I walk soft like a Cat and really pay attention where I lend my leads, I afraid to step on anything. Nope, I did not pawn my Cat and got a hamster. What I afraid to step o...

I asked Guy Hummel to put a headphones jack into my new unit. Guy put the jack, the switch that redirect signal to headphone or to the main output. It is so cool to have a headphone option – I have no idea why I did not ask him to do it before. In ad...

[quote user="scooter"] The old WCRB just signed off forever. . . let's see if the content moves forward in any meaningful way. Still a net loss to the region and the rare occasion in the US that a for-proft business was moved to a not-for profit ...

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...

Yes, the Active Placette would drive headphone, still I do not like the sound. I get way more proper sound when Placette driver my “big” system then what is drivers headphone. I use headphone quite aggressively but mostly for “technical listening” (l...

Peter,It is obviously that in your installation Lavry and FM are much more isolated then in mine. In fact if your power amp breaks both ground and central wire then when you switch you playback to “Leg B” then digital in not in the picture at all. Ev...

The problems with Smart Grids

Well, that sucks here in Boston. WHRB is still in business but if you do not call them and explain to them that they are playing records backward they would not acknowledge it. The WCRB is gone, that is good but the WHRB move to the WCRB frequenc...
