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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Rowuk , I think most of audio discussions miss one very important point. Path of the music doesn't end at the speaker drivers. We have media [air] transporting mechanical waves to the humans body , mind and soul. What we know about electricity and ...

[quote user="Antonio J."]Imagine you buy a cheap professional SS power amp. One of those AB or D class ones which can be bridged to provide 1,5, 2Kw or more. Imagine you feed it with a perfect sinusoidal tone generator set at 60Hz at its sig...

Yes, you might be on something in here. Although I used the best possible coupling caps of large values but still from point of view LF it was never “there”, even close. I also played with regulations and PS and sumized that the PS were not the reaso...

... but "black backgrounds", right, Romy...I have to adimit that I get my hopes up every time I read something "new" about electrical remedies, or, for that matter, whenever I review ideas I've rejected out of hand for good reasons in the past.Please...

Paul McGowan is a regular poster on youtube. I have to take his presentations with a grain of salt as they always conform to sales pitch for PS Audio products, but they are interesting. Recently, he asserts that tubes in preamp stage will provide h...

Max,
if you do admit an existence of “higher order language” then why you disagree that “a serious playback might generate a “very serious semantics”? An exposure to a “very serious playback” is an experience and we human tend to react to own spark...

[quote user="Antonio J."]It looks like after all we cannot speak about how reproduced music should sound without going back into the "audiophile jargon". [/quote]Yes and no. There is nothing wrong about "audiophile jargon” and it must be used in cont...

Yep, guys, thanks, I hear what you saying and it is true - the possibilities of the power devises in commercial and industrial world are endless. Even among regulators there are dozens and dozens companies that DC-AC inverters. Some of them might be ...

Guy,
the problem is that the audio knowledge recognizes sound as a deviation of amplitude above the noise floor. In reality everything is more complicated. The departure of amplitude above noise is “popular” among the audio scientist ONLY bec...

[quote user="Paul S"] At the same time, I still have a hard time intellectually with both the clearly pulsed traces and the (presumed) digital clock/signal (sine wave) generation, based on the usual digital noise I am familiar with, along with my yet...

Well, my research of the subject leaded me to talk with their distributor. He turned out to be very much clueless and loaded me with a pile of incredible BS. I spoke with the guy at the manufact...

Good afternoon Romy! I'm Pat Mattucci, and I'd like to respond to your post.How interesting you would post a response to my humble question to an obscure little group on my birthday, of all days. I'm honored. I also happen to be from the Philadelphia...

[quote user="HDTT"] Just some clarification on a few points: I really don't care what people say about my recordings or how they sound I master my sound to what I feel is closest to the source and also "I think" I have no "signature" that is my goal....

Thanks, jtavan.
It was educational. I made some first steps already. I made a slow 233MHz (and presumable it would have lower noise with lower speed) machine with no fans, and a large passive radiator on SPU. Formatted it and loaded Win2K Pro St4. S...

I spent a bigger part of day today to finish the “End of Life" Phonostage, there were many things to do but it is now over. Done! Complete! Amen! I it closed up and sat in it’s permanent place.
A few observations looking back. First, I spent a LOT...
