[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Still, I feel that methodologically it is not right
way to build a playback. [/quote]No disagreement from me on this point. This is all just a thought bubble for now. Even if I wanted to press go on this project based ...

I separated my two of my PP2000 in my rack with 3 feet space and run everything from one PP2000 and both Milq power amps from another PP2000. I also routed the incoming power cords that that are far from each other and far from outcoming power co...

[quote user="JJ
Triode"]I'm not sure if the Salamander-style rack (wooden shelves
supported by nuts and washers on threaded rods) will support 800 pounds, but if
you put heavier items near the bottom then a wide heavy-duty version might be
fine.[...

I would like to point out something that is going on here that I found truly remarkable.
For advanced people ho play with horns there is no second opinion that the vertical array, the Macondo/Cressaro-Gamma type of architecture, is THE ONLY one tha...

OK, I did it. I bought the “second-type” phonostage.
As many of you know I do not reconnect the cables and my first “reference” phonostages is custom made 2-845PT with Expressive SU2 transformer practically hard-bund with my reference arm and my re...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Rakesh,Two things I see that may or may not turn out to be an issue:1) The relatively narrow stance of the front wheels; depending on how heavily you load the top of the frame, stability could be a bit on the limit when mo...

[quote user="Stitch"] When you look at the data sheets, you see, that they have different Hz range with different weight. A reason why I added some more mass to my Micro which is sitting on a VP. [/quote]
Actually it is not my observation. In ...

[quote user="manisandher"] And I can indeed replicate this effect... but only with my RME FF800 and not with my Weiss AFI1.
With the FF800 (slaved to the Pacific), changing the Pacific's wordclock does indeed change the speed of any audio/vide...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"] Well, OK... I can go for "compensated or tuned", but NOT for "resolved". [/quote]
And I also do not think that it possible to "resolved". What is possible is to "compensate” it or “tune or off" but not to eliminate it. At...

Ok, yesterday I have done my dedicated lines, well my electrician did it but I guess I will take all credit for it and he just get my check. I have right behind my rack with PP3000 and power measuring equipment, on the wall 3 groups of receptacle...

It is nice to see you around, Jim.
A few comments. C1 in my phonostage is .28uF. The higher values were a proposal of Anagnostopoulos. I understand what he is coming form and yes my output stage of power amps will be able to handle the ULF stress. I...

None of the above.
I know you weren’t asking me, but you missed that option. The best solution, in my opinion of course, is no vibraplane or anything soft at all beneath the 5000,...

I finally got a PP unit. It is 1500W model as this is enough for now. It is the actual Golden version (Plus not available anymore) but the PP factory claims it's identical electrically just in a new aluminium case and some extras added. I managed...

Thanks, Peter
This is an interesting and in a way controversial subject, let us to view it in details.

Adrian, I do not think that it is "excuse sell
equipment". I have been straggling with it for a while. I do not "need" to sell it and I do appreciate
this given equipment much more then the money that I would get for it. I do not
need the money b...

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...

1) GND NOISE
After more experiments, I can proclaim a victory over the 100Hz noise on my End of life phono. For whatever reason the GND connection does not want to run in a close physical proximity of the line and n...

As I told before I picked recently a new interesting DAC and I got for it some AES/EBU cables. That made me to make the same Bidat vs. Lavry experiments only to use the AES/EBU interface with Lavry Gold. During those experiments I did not use S...

[quote user="tuyen"]When i change the cutoff of the 505tt to 200hz and 250hz, I experience that same 'hole' you mention about. Hence why I was questioning if it is the 160hz le'clech horn causing this and if using the goto s150 horn with it's di...
