[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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I think that you did not exactly my version but made some modifications; I do not know/remember what they were. [/quote]CCS heating of the tubes based on LT337A, 2x0.47u+470K at the output,my filtering is a bit bulkier at ...

Hi everyone Guess what! Just had a visit to this system last night. Upfront, the owner - thank you Klaus again - is a very welcoming and friendly fellow. But also remarkably reasonable and decent. Total absence of any need to show off. You rather nee...

When we had our son, I sold off all tube stuff because I did not want
any high-voltage equipment where he could prod with a knitting needle
and kill himself. It was a needless precaution. He responded well to my
grave remarks about not damaging...

Ha! Maybe I can help. I lived in Tokyo for a few years and tried to find the "perfect" commuting earbuds. Tokyo's "Best Buy" type electronics stores are huge and typically stock 100s of different models. There are also two large headphone specialty s...

Somebody at AA asked about the difference between electromagnets and perm magnet. Thankfully the AA idiots who pick the pieces of brain at my site and already learned that the idiotic blabbering about “the electromagnets have more flux” is comple...

I am all set with preamps. I hardly need or ever try anything else besides my preamp. I do have an interest in hope-to-be-coming Lamm L3 preamp, that will be an answer if the X-factor that I described in L1/L2 articles was a manifestation of Lamm’s i...

Oops,
I'll send the images again once back at work on Monday.
The thraot size will be 7 inches.
Yes I have thought about paying someone else to do the work, but that sort of skilled labor is super expensive around here.
And... Yesterday ...

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...

Joe,
The “decoration” you described came from the fact that you wrote your message on MS Word that adds ugly formatting when you paste it into native HTML editors. I also write in Word and I uselessly before I unload my posts I paste my Word’s text ...

Actually the approach “this is working fine because SET amp has a correct harmonic reconstruction" I find is very wrong in audio. It is similar to what Thorsten written in his compilation about the loudspeakers problems: “I'm an Engineer in the end, ...

[quote user="steverino"] Unlike other online units
the AG1500 is extremely quiet making it suitable for where high quality power
is required but without the noise, and unlike other systems the bypass is
disabled by default ensuring that raw ma...

[quote user="ulf"]A few years ago we discovered the tractrix horn for MF use. It was really the most important improvement so far. No more honking exponential horn sound. The improvement was so clear that A/B testing was not needed. [/quote]

A local GSC member took me up to THE Show, in Newport Beach, CA. This was the first audio show I've attended in over 25 years. It was way more frenetic than any audio show I remember. Lousy sound everywhere, of course, and no good music, and the c...

I had yes today a meeting with a rep from out local solar company. I am kind of greenish pussy and have a house with a big rood turned to south – so I was wondering to put in there a large array of solar panels. Massachusetts has a very wide coll...

In terms of the length of the horn, I'm allowing myself a total height of 7'6" (just below the average ceiling height of 8'). In regards to the mouth diameter, that's another matter. (It appears that I will have to build two [2] different...

I found very nice solution for my TT light. What I discovered is that I do not like those light and flimsy lights that I have tried but I like the regular heavy bench light fixture. In addition they are very easy to position to light up the TT u...

I kind of understand what frustration some audio people have when they hear that Daniel Weiss claims that he designs his equipment without any listening. I find those frustrations are from wrong reasons. It is funny that audio people believe that...

The Morons™ at AA’s between selling to each other what they did not like and topping each other on their shoulders came up with a subject what horn installation would be if price would be no object. The question is semi-foolish as price is never ...

Paul McGowan, the head of PS Audio send his newsletter with his comments about SACD. The comments are childish and in many way absolutely ignorant. I hate what the industry professionals twist the facts and go into pure falsification in order to ...

In this thread I would like to talk a bit about the practice in DSET driven multi-way horns configuration.
I have expressed my view that the architectural configuration that Macondo and Super Melquiades end up to be I find is the most interest...

I figured out that my site turned out to be a quite good source for “PurePower’s Survival Guide”. It would be nice to abstract the PurePower into a separate subject but it is too much intervened with the thread of “Bad Electricity” that I decided to ...
