In continuation to the "A new round of Pacific’s DAC listening" post.... I have a number of revisions of this little contest between two DACs in this thread and in other threads. In all of them the Lavry 924 has a little edge over Pacific Microso...

Will try to answer all questions here.Romy: I understand why you do not wish to use the term “surround sound”, but it is the accepted term for what we are discussing. You may add other terminology, but it only muddies the debate until others accept i...

This kind of freakish subject and the title of this thread is most likely is very misleading. Commonly the term “last something” is used as “best of the best” after which there is nothing else to explore. This definition grotesquely stink with heavy ...

I asked Alex who got those tweeter from him and he said that it was Stavros Danos from Cyprus. So, it was the Greek guy that we have meet before on the pages of my site:

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] I feel I am being objective when I say that a Mirrophonic system simply blows away Altec, Vitavox, TAD, etc. [/quote]

[quote user="manisandher"] Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. The first two seem to add something in the HF that I can imagine many people judging as being 'extra resolutio...

The first level of listening perception is Static Level. At this level a listener perceives musical information as a collection of the individual sounds and a listening awareness tries to evaluate the “convince-ability” of those sounds. At this level...

***The proper loading value is difficult to say without knowing your system, as it is partly a preamp and ultrasonic RF issue as well as one that involves the cartridge and audible frequencies. Some cartridges have frequency abberations within ...

Hello Romy,
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner… Moving to the new place has turned out to be a huge task, but worth it, as this new home actually has a place to work, not to mention a much better selection of recorded music at the local...

user="anthony"]My preferred source is a Phasure NOS1a G3 dac.
The thing has no discernible sound of it's own. It outputs 1.25VRMS SE
and I run it at -6dB because it needs a little attenuation to sound its best
which means 0.625VRMS. I d...

Preamplifiers: keys to mystery – or…. how a preamp might be not only a load-driving gadget.
Years after years the preamplifiers are being a “terra incognito” of audio people. I admit that preamps are a subject of my persistent curiosity. I was alway...

user="anthony"]Looks like the Red 10's are circa 92dB/w/m as an

Here is the list of the thing to do with Vitavox S2 in order to use it in 4-ways installations. The S2 must not be used in 2, 3 ways systems. It possible to do with S2 whatever you wish but pretty much any other way to utilize them produces some very...
