[quote user="serenechaos"]At first I plan to power the thing SET, with a known, existing amp (a triode wired EL84) which I've already built and know the Sound. It is not bad, but a little "warm" sounding (second harmonics, and is low powe...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Sand damping it beautiful, it is well-recognized, but you do pay cost for it, in your case the cost is space. [/quote]I know that Romy… but without the massive amounts of sand, there are always some vibrations felt when I t...

It is a very strange feeling, but I really feel how this entire idea should sound. I mean the 500W SET of the REAL SET driving a 12-14 cubic feet of sealed enclosure loaded with North Leviathan Driver.
In past when I played with SETs driving Aura 1...

Needless to say the sonic impressions I am
getting at the shows may be deceptive and always are very
preliminary: that's the nature of an event like that. Who knows
what's happening in the mains while I am listening, may b...

I have no doubts that it will work but I would like to understand HOW it works.
The objective it to have first order filter, of cause not the filter where capacitance do high-pass roll off but RL. In RL filter there is not reactive elements i...

what is audio ?
Audio is our reaction to sound , if there are audiophiles with different reactions then you may convince yourself Audio quality is relative to listener.
I think it is not true. The real quality exist itself .

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]OK, here are some follow up thoughts after the completion of the project. I am sure I will burn it for a month or so. I think everything will be fine, I do not expect any issuers technical or sonic. The way how the entrance...

Lamm introduces a new product, the LP1 Signature phonostage. Vladimir was planning to do it for a long time as his parley into “reference” series and after his from my point of view failure with LL2 phonostage.

I think I have had enough time with this phono stage now to make a few remarks about it. In keeping with the spirit of this website I am not recommending this component, just reporting on it.

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...

The 6C33C preamp? Hm, this is bold. As I see you use it as a single stage buffer with only one 6C33C and couple output with a transformer? I head the Germans built something like this but I never heard it or saw it. I do not feel a need for such ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Ok, let dive a little bit further into my examination of the subject of Lamm ML3

Mani,
I would leave the subject of DSET/horn setup for another thread and would drop a few words about Zu Druids. They are not the speakers that I would ordinary comment but since I have a local guy with Zu Druids and I had a chance to hear th...

Hi Thorsten,
Interesting preamp ideas.
The Silvaweld is also using some rather interesting ideas. For
example, the power supply is all tube (ie. rectrifier and regulator)
with a large choke as well for filtering and using a 300b as the hi...

I like to stress a point that the mammals that write thier doodles for audio publication are not juts ignorant fools but also the cheap, low class, falseificators. No wonder that the audio manufacturing companies do employ the so-called reviewers as ...

It was an interning event last night. The sound turned incredibly bad from electricity perspective. I did not have anything like this for a year or so it was very bad and it was clearly electrical. The PP2000 was working fine and the distortions ...

CV,Nicely put.... and thanks for the Rp information on the 6C33. Do you have any thoughts, or a curve trace source, about the Rl ratio?
Now, since air core's are to be your weapon, here are some thoughts to explore.

At CES there were Viagra-junkie sized power cords everywhere for $5000. Around our room were $10k and $20k speakers that sounded like a wet jukebox. It was the land of delusion.Value per topology is one way to measure but let's instead start with a p...
