Ken,
Lamm ML1 is always was a mystery for me. ML1 is very far from ML2 performance-wise. From what I understand the ML1 is basically is M1.1 modification with tubes output. I have seen a few times when ML1 performed better then M1.1 and at the same ...

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...

So what was next...They build the DAC, patented the clock... ok.They build their own preamp. Fully descrete class-a balanced, john curl wouldnt do it differently. Nice. Low and adjustable gain - very nice. Constant impedance step attenuator - my favo...

It's not just about order. You don't do it because you or others are obsessed with the advanced aspects of audio..perhaps so much, that we forget about the basics and the possibility of categorization that's simpler. Nothing will be perfect, I sure a...

First of all we need all to understand that all channels attenuators need only for setting up phase of playback live. When the installations are set up properly then it is all not necessary. Anyhow, if the upperbass has less output then you might use...

Yes you don't want to go over 0 "dBFS" for sure. In fact it is not good to even hit 0 dB from what I have read in an AES paper. Something odd happens when you play it back (I can't remember the details). I shoot for peaks at -2 or -3 dBFS when...

i am well aware of the problems the 47 labs approach brings along with the good things it does.i have at times in my setups good results,in other setups disaster.47 and audionote use no digital/oversampling filter.this obviously can have negative con...

Very cool question. Without having any rational justification to make any educated guess I would pull idea out of my ass – just because the idea make sense to me.
If I make a massive palter I would go for very tall vertical shaft to minimize the pl...

Romy Your file was burned in wave format you provided as-is. It was never processed by the Korg. I conducted my test to evaluate the sound of 176/24 files on my system. These files came from you, Reference Recording and my Korg and all can coexist un...

[quote user="noviygera"] Is there a pill for that too? Seriously, it would be very interesting to hear what solution you come up with because I have converted from listening music solo to a small number of audience (friends). So much that I listen by...

I have come across this company mentioned in a preview on '6moons,' and the information on the company's website suggests that this is in theory really a complete solution, and one that makes sense even to the non-e...

OK, maybe I got too zealous with the notch filter for the Reps. I aimed to bring it down 6 dB at ~2.2k Hz, using .47 mH and 10 uF against 10 Ohms for the notch, with the Reps itself at 7 Ohms. Right now, drums are too backed off, there is no "hair"...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Another a very valid thing to try is to see of the same difference with the same recordings happens with different DACs, preamps the you will take care of the absolute phase. [/quote]To date, my listening has been with my f...

[quote user="morricab"]I have a phono stage from the Korean company Silvaweld that uses the 5651 tube in the power supply as a voltage reference. It also is using a Russian 6C19Pi tube along with EF86 pentode as the high voltage regulator. ...

I see, what they did – the built a perfect sealed chimney with two fans to suck cold air in and two fans to suck hot air out. Well, it might work, even though I do like this idea. I absolutely do not see why such a hot and large tube as 6C33C sha...

This report is on a new pair of Marantz MA-9S2s, following up on the relevant post in the "Powerful Amplifiers" thread. I installed the amps in my usual stereo set-up, to make it easier to draw a bead on them. I still have less than 100 hours on th...

The whole presentation of sound is very different with your and my file. Your file is very lush sounding. It is very pleasant but a bit too euphoric for THIS music. My file is much more dynamic (if comes from my transformer) and in the way this dynam...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not think that my “resistance” to transformer preamplifiers” has to do with audio neutrality and particularly in context of “improved audio neutrality” as I do not think that neutrality might be “improved” (though it m...

Tuga, clarity is certainly an important prerequisite for true dynamics, where "dynamics" is the musically meaningful idea of differences as applied not only to SPL but also to "rate", such as the space/contrast/interval between a 1/8 note and a 1/16 ...

...to ask, that is.Yes, the "default" sound of most US made pianos is more "forward" than not. Mason & Hamlin and Chickering can be brilliant, but are usually "loud." Same is generally true for German Steinways. For mellow presentations, the u...

Besides Romys short list of features:
1) A preamplifier shall be modular - the ability to insert n quantity (maybe 20?) of input cards on a backplane (for phono MC/phono MM/line level/Balanced/Single ended/TOSLink) as well as be conf...

[quote user="jtavan"]I don't know of that many motherboards with on-board SPDIF _input_, most just have output (and not terribly good output at that). The AES16 and the L22 are within $50 of each other, with the AES16 usually being cheaper.The logic ...

Ok, I desired to go to the bottom of it and found what was/is the problem with Shelter’s tendency for high static. First I checked the arm. Putting 3 different cartridges (with own head-shell) to my 3012I recognize that there was zero static du...

Whatever biggest pressings names they do not throw I always feel defensive as any given record might be whatever it is.
