This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering. There is an army of people out there who would swear by a complete transpare...

[quote user="serenechaos"]I don't know where this goes, so I'm just starting it as a new thread; please move (or even edit or delete) as appropriate. After reading too many wondourus reviews of ceramic driver speakers in general, and only havin...

One of the greatest and the most important things for me in power amplifiers is their ability to differentiate tones. When you listen live music you practically never hear two identical tones. Even two identical pitches presented after the diff...

[quote user="Paul S"]fiogf49gjkf0dWe do have a cable thread somewhere on this site that might be better for cable-specific posts. As far as purely electrical "issues", in the end, better sound is still the main consideration. Shielding power lines i...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eli, I as any other person on consumer side, do sympathize
with how you feel. I would like however to point out that this site is not the

I ran across this Negative stiffness isolation platform (the anti Viagra??) independently but I should have known the Cat had pounced years earlier. It is hard to tell how much the concept has advanced since 2007 as I only found one firm doing it (Mi...

I made experiments running HF filaments from dedicated Hammond 6.3V transformer vs. lifting ground on my 6.3V IDH filaments. I did not listen Sound but rather measure the noise – the result was identical. In the best cases I was able to get 0.63m...

Romy, i hope this post doesn't offend your sensibilities. I am not gonna say a word about the physics principles that have led me to the conclusion that this is something that should be tried ( unless you ask of course ).

I think it is a simple case of different strokes for different folks.
Drdna writes about communicating the essence of sound - I write about the essence of music. He writes about wondering what Coltrane was thinking. I write about hearing him looki...

I kind am debating it with myself for a last few months. What I discovered that a playback has an ability to moderate musical sensations from being very intimate and extremely personal to being very public and wide-declarative.

[quote user="drdna"] What was more concerning is today some 60 Hz hum also re-emerged in the system, sounding like a vibrating cell phone going off in the back of the room. It was interesting how it was sort of localizable, but the hum is annoying. A...

Here is another question that almost from the DIY-Audio universe. Dima is finishing Zaratustra II amplifiers. It will be quite interesting beast and I’m slowing begin to think about the power supplies – it will be my responsibility. The Zaratust...

[quote user="manisandher"] This is very interesting and something that I have not noticed. Because I cannot double the clock frequency going into the Weiss AFI1, I have tended to ignore playing/recording 4fs files. But, I've kept the second AES/E...

In reference to the two (or three) prototypes, the base design contains one (1) driver, a second proposal to the base design uses two (2) drivers (using almost the same exact enclosure--an increase of volume/area in the chamber containing the two [2]...

OK, it now looks like my dive in the world of PC is over and I pretty much know where I am staying. A well of so ago I was completely ignorant about the subject but now I could at least to understand what the common buzz-worlds means and able to ask ...

Paul,
I re-mapped your post to your older thread; I hope you do not mind…
Anyhow, I find absolutely nothing in the older ML2’ sound related to L1/L2 “X-Factor”. As I suggested in the second post of the flowing thread:

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...

rowuk , you are not wrong feeling that what we do with
PS and Mains regenerator is kind of ridicules. Indeed we convert AC to DC, then
