Ironic name of the review but it is what it is. Frank Alles posted a review about PS Audio P3 unit. It is not very informative but generally more or less sensible.

You can find a brief description here: http://www.salicru.es/index.php?id=1678&L=2 My unit is a RE-1009 2T, which means has double transformer, but it's not the extra noise filtering model which they call NS. Looking at this I'm quite sure i...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Joaco, thanks for sharing. You said that you use 2A3/45 amplifier, do you use choke or capacitance right after your rectifiers? It would be interesting if you plug a scope into your loaded regenerator and post a picture (ma...

[quote user="Knightcrawler"] The 1808 was designed for a large vented enclosure. Just looking at the TS numbers would indicate a large vented box to be best. It also worked well in horn loaded designs as well. [/quote]I did not says what it was desig...

[quote user="Paul S"]Joaco, all this will probably be moved back to the "Electricity" thread, which is not really an APS Forum, as it has appeared for a while, now.
Paul[/quote]Yes , I made a mistake ... it will be much better in the Electricity thr...

I think it was Wagner who first incorporated in his composition the concept of masking. He felt that during loud sounds people are losing ability to recognize the instrumental complexity. Later on during the stupid mp3 times or digital compression, o...

Well, maybe a little cussing first to set the tone. The older SPU's are now well sought after, many will end up in collections at now over inflated prices probably in the Far-East where they are worshipped. I've heard a few older SPU's and even those...

Here is a snippet from an email from Jonathan Carr (Lyra cartridge designer) about objectives and considerations regarding cartridge loading. Most of this is old news, I only re-post it here as a convenient synopsis on this most misunderstood t...

As there was talk on the BW Broadcast RBRX1 receiver here, I thought this might be of interest:I have bought a new DSP-based tuner, and it is unlike any other I have used before. I had sort of distantly lusted after the BW Broadcast RBRX1, but ne...

I do not want go for emergency ULF amps and to pay more than $50 for it, in fact all plate amps shall cost $50. I will probably end up getting another B2 amp, identical to the one that blew up with the identical changes. I just felt that this no-ampl...

Hi,[quote user="dazzdax"]Thx for this well written and highly educational piece Thorsten! It appears that Romy is not very fond of the Audio Consulting transformers, could you give your opinion regarding those? What is your opinion regarding the use ...

The Aura
1808 had free air resonance at 24Hz and required enormous sealed
enclosure of 14-16 cu feet. Wilson Audio used the Aura 1808 in their
unfortunately-ported XS subwoofers and soaked from their relatively
small enclosure an extra 19dB...

Got today a December 2010 PS Audio Newsletter with an announcement from Paul McGowan:

Those things are made to impress enough to buy whatever the maker of CD is selling. I'm glad you posted that review on DIY-audio although out of respect for the host it would be nice if you had posted it here first and out of politeness asked if you...

I decided eventually to leave this new PP3000+ with me. I quite like it. Probably I will sell one of my older regenerators; I have 2000 and 3000 for $2K and $2.5K, if somebody are interested than get in touch with me. Playing with the PP regenerators...

The PS Audio newsletter this month had the following:
"We already have a CD player and transport in the works and lots of ideas floating around about audio systems, video setups and new AC power products…..

I think I get your message Romy, but offer an alternative perspective to DIY.The results depend on the motivation and expectations of the DIYer. For example, saving $$$ is one reason to start learning to solder and build simple circuits. ...

In this section I will brief cover operational parameters of Purepower 2000 regenerator. I do not have a lot of fun to write this section but I feel that for sake of objectivity it is necessary. Also the next section – the sonic observations - might ...

I've never understood the continual need to get equipment to have ever wider frequency response, to me (but then I'm a complete technonumpty) this just seems to be an exercise in chasing numbers to impress those that are impressed by spec sheets.&nbs...

Makes a lot of sense to investigate the possibilities. Since I have one of the older PP units I can make direct comparisons as well. I didn't like the original PS Audio Power Plants back in the day but they have modified the units since then. I don't...

If you want to keep it really simple just buy an Oppo BDP-83SE ($800) and use its two-channel audio analog outs to an amp with volume controls. All the setup features you need are in the Oppo including the downmix to 2.0.A new projector will run you ...

FWIW I tried quite a few isolation and power conditioner products over the years. The only ones that I still use and feel do more good than harm are the now discontinued PS Audio Ultimate Outlets. They are simply good quality baluns. The advantage ...

I always was wondering about it – it we have a no-distortion and no-noise stable sinusoid and the sound still not right then how much distortions are mater. We surely would like to have a perfect sinusoid but is it possible that it is only because we...

Hi Romy,Well, I do not pretend to "know" those Rare-Gas zeners very well, neither to have "listened" (so to speak) to any. They are so low-performance devices when compared to the silicon technology that it is technically a pity, but, it doesn't prev...

FWIW I got my own PP 1050 a week ago and am pleased with the sound. It is the first active device that sounds as good as or better than my jury rigged passive filtration. Thanks Romy. As for chaining devices, I tried plugging in my VPI SDS into the P...

N-set, Somewhere above you have mentioned that you are in Barcelona now, I kind of did not paid attention but in your PS you indicated 230V, so you are in Europe. I was under impression that you are in US and if you not then it might have some signif...
