I am in the process of setting up a DAW to record fm broadcast. Recently I installed a M-Audio 2496 DAC in a computer to do the recording. I am using a Yamaha T-85 tuner. Prior to routing the i.c. cables through the DAC I had no background noise f...

Paul, Adrian,
there are cables with cotton/silk insulation (with and without oil/wax). Shielded cables with PVC/plastic insulation etc. a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Whoever follows this thread of mine note my exuberant reaction to the new fixed PP2000. What however I discover today is that for the last few days, right after the snow storm, the quality of electricity in my lines is ...

[quote user="Andy Simpson"] I thought that eventually you would take my hint.... liquid damping in microphones is something I have given some thought to - especially given that air comes under 'fluid dynamics' - but I will get to my own solution shor...

It took a LOT of time in CAD using what I had learnt from building the power supplies and then adapting it to match the requirements of the rest of the system. I have decided to mount the DSET on the horn stack and direct connect the speaker cables....

[quote user="Paul S"]You have said that there are no "good" 6N6Ps; but are some physically constructed better than others?[/quote]
Nope it was not what I said. I said the all 6N6P are equal, at least among those that I have seen and there are no rea...

It is know that in addition to basic tastes (I believe bitter, salty, sour, sweet) of the Western culture those “different” Japanese people recognize another taste they call it “Umami”. Umami, if I am not mistaken, is a sense deliciousnes...

First of all I had a good conversation with Lynx people. Pacific is very well known to them unit and many of their customers use it. They suggested as the most typical application for their customers to slave Lynx from Pacific in A/D mode and to ...

I too am uninterested in Audio theories. I do not want to hear audio either. I design and build transformers, interconnect cables, speaker cables, treat speaker emitters, mounting face plates, boxes, etc., so I do not have to hear audio. List...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I didn't realize that there is no balance control on the unit. I know in theory this should not be a problem, but I miss this feature for several reasons. Can't have everything when you buy on the used market t...

I was reading one commercial audio site where it was said: “….each MAS product is totally assembled and tested by one of our trained technicians who sign his name on the finished product. “ I wonder - why it is not a normal practice in high-end ...

Well, the wire paralleling is a common thing. This is where
the idea or Litz wire come from when they use many isolated wires for less them
skin depth. It doe serve theoretical purpose but not always server sonic purpose.
I have a friend of my who...

A bit of the background. Before acquiring the PP, the whole system had been moved from it's previous location in Gdansk to a new one in Warsaw. New, busy city, new apartment, new electricity. Straight after the move and connected to the new house...

Amir,in my world there is a process for selection and it is not AB or changing power cords. That does not mean that I deny that equipment (including cables) can change sound. It means that the normal audiophool description "it was immediately better"...

Jarek, please re-read my previous post, also Romy's recent post on this subject, carefully. I'm afraid you are in for it once you start effing with power cords, for all the reasons we've listed. Here in the US we have a company that sells used cord...

First, I'm impressed someone managed to create a website of substance on such a vapid topic as high end audio..Last night I saw the seattle symphony orchestra do berlioz damnation of faust. I was late because I stupidly didn't look at the ticket and...

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 myself much less oft...

Hm. It was not good that Outside was gone. I hate AA. Besides the worthless audio context I wish that the human dirt that runs AA site died very slowly and from very painful illness. However I liked the Outside and I frequently visited it. It is not...

After 4 days of suiting in boxes in my listening room today is my day off and I decided to dedicate it to play with the new Pure Power 3000+.
I desired to use just records and connected all amps, preamps and phonostage to ol...

I tried the ML2s via their 16 Ohm taps, even though my speakers drop to 4R at about 80 Hz before going back up their average 8 Ohms at 30 Hz. The overall sound off the 16 Ohm taps was more balanced and integrated top top bottom, ...

Please do not get the idea that I ever "ruled out" active pre-amps or came to the TAP through some sort of object worship. I really couldn't care less about how the job gets done. Active is fine, as long as the results are there...

Last couple days I was playing with my new tape looped Placette, riming Pacific from Tape Rec output. How little a Moron need to be happy!!! Even I still have some technical issuers that I need to resolve using Pacific in and out of the tape loop but...

I think for a start there are so many different ways of getting a sound that is acceptable to the listener it pays not to be too dogmatic.I am in the early days of developing my system with speakers from 4 different manufacturers running in active an...

[quote user="item"] For future reference, in case anyone else is as confused as I am about the content of this thread; from the horse's mouth: the Item DAT1 could just about be considered a 'DAW' (the SPDIF version records analog, and you can run...

I set up one of my TU-X1 to work from own front end and from Schwarz via high quality relay. It very convenient – push a button and the front-end switched. Everything is well shielded, there are no noises and everything is very nice. What however sur...
