Dear drdna,I agree with you, my explanation was a little audio reviewerish! If you noticed in my first post I just mentioned Sussarro being different to other Moving coils of my experience. To me it has advantage of high compliance cartridges in conv...

I listened to Purepower 3000 we finally got it in iran.it is wonderful , new level of dynamics , far better than direct utility.I have a question about pp3000 if you had it in a ultra transparent system.our system is not ultimate in transparency and ...

I experience as do some others a variation in the effectiveness of the PP at certain times of the day/night cycle. Since it seems correlated at least partially to probable power co usage it seems reasonable to ascribe the variation to an isolation fa...

[quote user="drdna"]You want a suggestion for a good 2A3? Get Ricardo Kron's (KR Audio Enterprises) KR 2A3. Very rugged, overbuilt. There is no comparison between this tube and all other 2A3's, and I tried many of them. The sound is more dynamic, the...

[quote user="drdna"]As I had been looking at all these tubes I began to also inspect their interior construction. This will amuse you: one thing I would do is to hold the tube right up to my ear so the glass would be touching and thus mostly damped. ...

[quote user="drdna"] Option #2 is appealing since it will free up a lot of space and make the equipment more cat-proof. I was thrilled to come home a month ago to find the tonearm wires chewed through and the tonearm swinging freely. [/qu...

[quote user="drdna"] The VERY INTERESTING idea is that the introduction of noise as a dithering element for the analog signal (for our brain to decode) can be helpful in increasing the retrieval of information vital to conveying the Sound. [/quote] T...

[quote user="drdna"] Honestly for now, the character of the tuner is unobtrusive enough that I notice mostly the problems I have with the preamplifier and the electricity. However, I would be interested about what you had thought at this point to be ...

[quote user="drdna"] This is why the discussion of the Injection channel and the use of the loudspeaker like a resonant musical instrument is so apt. [/quote] Indeed, I did not realized that I shifted my thinking in this thread and an in my general v...

[quote user="drdna"]Is it possible that a simple experiment can be done with cassette players and the Dolby filter since this equalization affects compression for example? Adrian[/quote]If you are referring to the "soundstage" quality of such playbac...

[quote user="drdna"] So many years ago when everything was very dry solid state, Koestu cartridges were like a wonderful spash of color. Then it was the fad of the soundstage. These days I think it is inner detail. This is what the Koetsu Onyx is bui...

[quote user="drdna"]While I think it has a lot of potential, I worry that the added complexity may lead to new problems that may outweigh the benefits derived, even if it is done very carefully, one of which is time alignment as pointed out.[/quote]H...

[quote user="drdna"]Well, I'll stick my neck out and tell you what I think. I would say that it sounds right now that you have a kind of undefined idea of how you understand the sounds of audio reproduction. Sort of on the level that you ...

[quote user="drdna"]one. I like to think of toplogical change in terms of an organic visualization of the electricity. traditional valve-OPT: A guitar where the vibration of the string transmits through the air to the guitar which respond...

[quote user="drdna"]…… people forget that a circuit is a physical collection of dynamically interacting electromagnetic fields…… [/quote]
Isn’t it might a separate VERY large subject?

[quote user="drdna"]It is important to remember that the Subjective musical result is the goal, but this does not mean to disregard all objective data. When one sees something as ridiculous as the Brazilian horn, you kind of have to assume obje...

Sorry if this is OT - I could start a new thread but my post is inspired by the quote below - [quote user="drdna"]the lathe-work is rough on some of the horns. [/quote]I can't decide whether that's good or bad. I'm slowly working up to getting ...

I agree completely drdna. I think the current editor of Stereophile is setting the tone...he is known to be an opportunist...in fact if you read some of Peter Aczel's criticisms of him in the past, he, along with pearson & others, are the ultimat...

[quote user="drdna"] BUT, I think it is more exactly what you say that the midrange horn is round and the lower midrange horn is rectangular. They sound different and it is more easy for me to hear the presence of the rectangular horn. [/quote]...

[quote user="drdna"] The altered topology of DSET has the potential to have disadvantages. There is increased overall system complexity and this often seems to be a negative. Beyond this, it is difficult to expound, for me, on the specifi...

[quote user="drdna"] For stereo systems, we start with two small microphones with strictly limited ability to capture an acoustic musical event at a particular combination of phases, reflections, amplitudes, etc. in a relatively low-level voltage sit...

[quote user="drdna"] I am actually very surprised to hear you say this. I have stated before my thoughts on a preference in listening for additive or subtractive errors, based on how different people's brains process the information. [/quote]

[quote user="drdna"]After all some people proclaim there is no difference with different wires; clearly not true. BUT, it is a difference that is important to only some people. Is it possible Romy cannot hear the sonic problems that are solved by the...

[quote user="drdna"]Easier to make might be a device like a record clamp you can attach to an existing turntable platter. It should be easy to do the experiment by trying a weight on the turntable platter: 1. a solid weight 2. an equal weight contain...

[quote user="drdna"]Okay, what is that, and where can I hear it? [/quote]I briefly mentioned it in the electricity thread.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="drdna"] It has the Magnequest DS-025 OPT, connected to the 16 ohm tap. [/quote]
So, it is 2.5K primary and you drive 8R speaker with 16R tap. That makes the 2A3 loaded in your case with 1750R. I think it is ne...
