Romy,Try running the left and right signals from the stereo arms, one at a time, into the known-good mono phonocorrector. If the problem is not present then you know the stereo corrector is to blame.Are both left and right channels in the stereo cor...

All that has been discussed at length many times this board. It seems that people continue to confuse neutral and ground, and I agree that it is confusing. Basically, any commercial "power company" power grid supply in the US will be grounded at a se...

Romy, you referred us to the Horlick website. May we assume you have not gone and bought a "small" 30 HP Horlick unit? Sure, something like that might put out a "perfect", smooth, clean, full, suitable-for-hi-fi wave at 60 Hz under load, but yo...

Guys, do you shield your dedicated powe lines?I'd have around 9m of a cable unning in the air from the apartment's power distibution box to therack. For me it looks like a nice antena for picking EMI/RFI trashfrom the air. Such shielding indirectly s...

The truth of the matter is that I believe that true quality has nothing do with audio systems, high resolution or otherwise.How many good musicians are audiophiles? and does it matter?They can listen via an Internet Radio and enjoy as the music is in...

[quote user="Amir"]fiogf49gjkf0dfi guess the problem come from usb cable. these designers like AC Conditioner designers just kill dynamics. they remove noise but then kill the dynamic.[/quote]the dynamic increased after power cord break-in and using ...

Alex, I have never made anything hi-fi for fun, but only if I thought I could do as well or better than anything suitable that I could find and also afford. I think I've detailed constructions I've used in the Cable thread, which is where this stuff ...

Paul,Have you tried Neutrik powerCON? Do you have any opinion about them? I personally like the locking system idea.EDIT: not power cord but digital, ANUK have a Palladium plated SILVER foil cable (Black Pallas). Have you tried anything palladium?Ch...

Romy and friends,
Reading about the sensitivity of your system to electrical power supply problems reminds me of the days when I used to make my own equipment as much for the learning experience as for the final result.
One of the mundane things I ...

I think this topic is very very interesting to me and it is a opportunity those 90% audiophiles (like josh) think more about their objectives .I have pointed it many times in my weblog that romy recommendations (both methods and components) can not h...

[quote user="Amir"]these are my findings about computer audio after some trial error:1. computer audio is very very hardware/OS/software dependent. computer structure is multi task (time sharing) and using it as a real time single task processor is n...

I was reading Paul’s comment about elasticity and the Bad’s comment about the electrical field attached to a cable and suddenly a very absurd notion popped to my head. Do not take it literally – this is just a brain-storm-like vision.
So,...

[quote user="manisandher"] Well I can pretty much replicate the sound I was getting last year - simply have the DAC and power amps plugged into the PP and the PC plugged into the wall socket. The sound becomes brighter, thinner and more edgy. This i...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]You claim that it was “everything plugged” syndrome but I was writing about it years back and I thought that it was what you were doing. Even if you did not then in my view the superbly positive contribution of PP was still...

Romy,The common mode noise will lie between 5 meg and 8meg or 8 meg to 12 meg depending upon whether it is forward or backward mode working. It does not have much to do with the 30Kilohertz.It is possibly true that one unit may have filters to keep ...

[quote user="Lx_"] The second sentence is my own conclusion. It was not my intention to imply that it is yours, sorry for the misunderstanding this may have caused. We both agree that PP can be sensitive to incoming AC. The context and circumstan...

As a new concert season is coming up with BSO opening night next week I was sprucing up my recording studio. The machine is 3MHz with 2G memory – plenty run SoundLab5. The SoundLab just record and play, I do absolutely nothing else in this software, ...

It is in away unfortunate that the new dedicated line and the new PP3000 come right at the same time. I am tell you that since the PP3000 and dedicated line I have no single bad electricity day and playback behaves very nice. I just try to establish ...

NSET, Sorry for any confusion. It seems clear from Romy's experiences and others that the electrical line is a transportation system that lets everything ride for free to any station and back. Yes the SDS uses a quartz crystal oscillator and digital...

Part of the reason we call our computers 'transports' is to encourage people to think of the number-crunching part of an audio system in the same already familiar terms as a CD player - because all the same things matter: CD transports vary according...

Perrew,
LCR is not active at all; it is the very same passive EQ as your RC? I think you a bit confused with terminology. The main logical explanation (there are many of them) is that capacitive filtration is very bad one and need to be minimi...

The fact that cost in audio does not mean sound quality knows everyone and everyone, particularly whose sell expensive audio, love to pitch it. However, we all understand the cost/sound misbalance but we very seldom take it personally.

Dear Romy, I'm not surprised at your disappointing results as I have experienced the same with a variety of power filtration or generating devices. Your surmise is correct that such devices work much more easily with AV equipment or computers than t...

I think it needed to be expended what I mean by “new smart layout of the power cables”. What you run a large system than you have many circumstances when power cables cross signal cables. Not only that. The PDO cables are liquid filled and they do no...

It has been 1 year since I started working with the ML2s with all new tubes installed. The ML2s have been, by far, the biggest step I have taken in hi-fi in 45 years, and the "upgrades" I have done since the ML2s have necessarily been in a...
