truth to be told, i'm so far from building a horn for S3 that the plans may change. the drivers actually haven't left a previous owner yet which makes me a bit nervous. but i understand you presume a short opening horn like expo would allow a more me...

[quote user="Paul S"] I ask because I have never seen a single corrective device that offers balanced, quiet, phase-perfect power. By "balanced" in this case, I mean that the nueutral/ground is isolated and re-referenced at -60V, while the hot leg i...

[quote user="joaco"] I think the amp is "immune" because of the nice circuit design ; condensator , choke and rectification (filtering) . [/quote]I think it is a mistaken view. There is nothing that be made in PS by chokes, rectification and filterin...

Zipping casually through the PS Audio blurbs on the "new" unit, it seemed like they were basically touting the idea of greater efficiency (vs. the previous unit) and concommitment greater available power, along with finally coupling inter-compon...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If you consider APS PurePower as just a power treating or regenerating devise then I feel that the whole “kinky” point of this devise might be missed. We get horrible sound with bad electricity and we are accusto...

I was wondering what is coming out from PP2000 that makes one unit affect another. It might be radio and magnetic stray fields. Last night I took my gauss meter and was sniffing all around my PurePower regenerators. I was not able to see any signific...

Thank you Romy, I wasn't aware of the 30 day trial...I though only PS Audio had this policy with power regenerators...The 25% load is a nice tip, thanks again, I trust you judged this value according to personal tests and measurements. The sad news i...

Rakesh,I think you’ve missed the accent of my battery post. We do not argue abstract topologies but we argue the validity of topology in respect to sonic results. I hope we all agree that we do not exactly know WHY affects electricity sound. We do ...

[quote user="item"] For future reference, in case anyone else is as confused as I am about the content of this thread; from the horse's mouth: the Item DAT1 could just about be considered a 'DAW' (the SPDIF version records analog, and you can run...

Okay,First, thank you for responding so fully or roundly(?) to my reply. Second, I apologise for any annoyance caused by my missive(s). I had my doubts at the time, and was a little fluey to boot. Not an excuse.Third, the guard...

My prize to the most interesting and educational room at the show goes to a room with WAVAC 833 power SETs. Visiting this room made me to think a lot and made me to draw a lot of very valuable to me conclusions.
I heard a lot about those amps. Recen...

Hey, Paul,
long time no see. It is nice that you got rid form that Wadia. Wadia for sound, any Wadia, is like a eating Peking dumplings made with no salt, no paper, no meat and cooked in non-boiled water. I always was astonished with the popularity...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In the 2008 I have a few immediate goals:
1) Finalize the 6-chennals version of Super Melquiades and integrate it with Macondo
2) Finalize the “End of Life" Phonostage:
3) ...

[quote user="PurePower"] In the world or audio you learn new and interesting facts every day. AC caps (ceramic, electrolytic, polyester and polypropylene metallized foil types) can buzz at various frequencies. This is not nonsense, and is quite...

After 4 days of suiting in boxes in my listening room today is my day off and I decided to dedicate it to play with the new Pure Power 3000+.
I desired to use just records and connected all amps, preamps and phonostage to ol...

I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

Well, Jessie, I think you're exercising a wishful thinking but you have, I think, a wrong subject for your thinking. Neither Lamm nor any other high-end manufacture care about result as a concept but rather a result as product. A product b...

I would like to share my observations about public perception of Melquiades - The Realty Reconstructions Amplifier.
Melquiades, or as I affectedly-abridgedly call it “the Melq” was released to pubic exactly a year ago:

[quote user="Gregm"]I would agree. I'd feel that the objective of "audio journalism" (for wont of a better description) is entertainment -- not an "evaluation" that can be used for reference purposes.So, the components discussed/presented are simply ...

Well, I was there, which is more than The Cat can say. In fact, The Cat never heard a complete WE system first hand, so I'll have to take that into advisement when the expected foaming-at-the-whiskers rant.I always wonder why people would giv...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I don´t know whether the audio industry`s products are so sophisticatet that they need mathematical steam hammers to improve them. In a German forum there is a discussion about a diploma work from the TU Berlin where the student f...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Still, there is an interesting phenomenon that I never was able to understand. I observe Lamm’s show rooms from I think 1998-1999 to 2006 when I did my last audio show. Surprisingly all Lamm rooms at audio shows sound ...

Last nigh I spend a couple hours to listening this thing. Since the amp is done in design phase and the final parts are still in order I can not finish it and close up – it kind of frustrating… Still, it gives opportunities to listen it knowing that ...

Paul,
As far as I know the Expressive Technologies have only tow models: the regular transformers and toroidal transformers. The toroidal version (SU-2) is not available publicly which left that whatever the Expressive magnetic available out there i...

JJ and the rest of guys. I am a bit surprised with your
reaction to the audio portion of this thread. I hope people read my site for
long enough to recognize strategically placed satire which the whole Mocondo inheritance
section was. The events d...
