Joaco, all this will probably be moved back to the "Electricity" thread, which is not really an APS Forum, as it has appeared for a while, now.No one supposes that other alternatives do not exist; it is rather just a case where everthing has not yet ...

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...

Finally, I'd appreciate your opinion on the scheduled implementation of regenerated electric power on my system.I am planning to hook up my entire gear on a single PP1050hv (230V) unit:2-channel:

I remember when I built Melquiades I detected that quietly of wire that feeds the grid of output stage with bias, quality of soldering or any other minute detail on this wire was very auditable. I also detected that the proximity of this wire t...

You are right: The Grande Utopia is one of the names that very much in the mainstream and have very much pre-inclined exposure in industry. That all will assur...

Jeremy, another few lead that I think might conceder.
Manly Labs has their 20-bit digital to analogue converter that uses the Pacific Microsonics processor inside. I was told that is available as the “street price” for ~$6K-$7K and it might be a “f...

As the writer of the above-referenced propaganda, I am pleased to once again tweak the whiskers of the cat.
First off, this is promotional material so what the heck do you expect? Every brochure offers a new benchmark in performance or it is not doi...

OK, I decided to stop today to do what I do as it does not feel like me anymore. For a month as I live in here and have the playback up my playback is a source of great pain and I do not like it. I am accustomed that I turn the thing on and USE it. ...

Romy's quotes in blue:"...It feels that there is very little room for the tweeter to breathe. It is not the narrow firing tweeter and I think you might give to it a little bit more room..."Yes I was thinking the same thing, and the frame does offer p...

[quote user="rowuk"]The whole idea of an earth wire is a path to ground if something fails in the unit. In most countries the (metal) case is attached to this pin on the power connector.It is incredibly stupid (and in many countries illegal) to lift ...

I spent today good 5 hours listening my new playback. For somebody who do not know me it would look idiotic to listen the playback with such a huge amount of problems and do not make any efforts to correct them. Defiantly the problems are huge: the m...

Sadly I have never spent the time to try and correlate the sonics of a tube with the trace characteristics. Ok, sometimes it is obvious. A flat line is a dead tube. Normally I measure and compare both sections of dual triodes. ...

Amy turned out to be a fireplace kitten and she spends a lot of time in our opera room, cooking her feet on fire and filing the room with marvelous purring. We were planning to do major Opera Room remodeling this winter but the resent Hurricane Sandy...

I just wish before I start my project I read a few detail descriptions of the similar projects. Unfortunately they do not exist and I well understand that my project is in away an exemplary for the horn-minded people. All midbass horn are different a...

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...

As a weekend-only listener, it can take me eons to break in some of my most stubborn components. In the case of the K&K, things seem to have reached +/- tonic equalibrium.I may have have mentioned it in passing, but at some point ...

I'm not convinced a constant side load on bearing is good. It causes assymetrical wear. Just seems to me a center balanced bearing with no lateral loads would be better. Merely an intuitive hunch.
As for the copper, yes, it...

I think the true definition of good enough is not located in
sonic domains, certainly not in audio domain and not even not in musical
domain. I know a few guys in past who here very high caliber technical interpreters,
high-level directors, CTO an...

I brought today my Lavry’s AD122 MKII processor and decided to conduct excrement feeding the ADC with “live” feed from FM broadcast and outputting it directly into my Bidat DAC: WHRB 95.3 FM 8:00 pm San Francisco Symphony orchestra “IN CONCERT”...

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 gentleman's set-up makes me think very much of the one I have in mind for my new room in due course. Whilst as Romy points out, the room might well be on the small side, it has a very high ceiling (say 4.5 m) that in my mind always presents fabu...

Antonio, I would like to point out that your replied to my post about the 103M cartridge. The 103 and 103M are totally different animals , even contraction-wise. In fact it is shame that they named them as they were the similar model number. Perform...

I would like to thank you for taking the time to give me a very satisfying answer and explain in detail your views on the whole subject and give a little more insight in to how you do things. Yes I suppose I really knew all along it was coming and w...

The TAP TVC does happen support a fully balanced topology, for whatever that's worth. I have not discovered anything difinitive about this for myself, however. I can say that I do not consider the unit's situational neutrality as anything...

Hello Macman,Nice horns, I like that you finished everything properly! I am getting tired of seeing piles of horns.I think the ringing you are getting from your midbass horn is that the throat reactance is not balanced. How did you calculate the ba...
