Nope, it does not miss anything. They offset the 75msec in input using the inductance of cartage’s coil (I quess they do not use MC). Below is the original thread. You need to buy a chocolate cake and to do a foot massage to your Russian mistres...

[quote user="Paul S"]But why would you consider brass connectors because of 95% of boutique RCA if the idea is to wind up with the best signal path?[/quote]Of course not because of that! The ideal would be the connector I've shown but made with pure ...

[quote user="rowuk"]I often wonder who REALLY
needs real high end? Maybe this is the wrong description. [/quote]
That is a reasonable question. However, it is not question that
aligned with the thread. I do not think that people need high-end au...

I've been attentive to all that ive found out about Furtwangler lately
and the strength of his readings seems to be borne across by how fast
things go. So the question was raised, reading the notes you
transcribed above, whether the validity of a ...

I was able eventually to get a recording of this Prokoviev Oratorio, thanks Brian.
I do not know... it is a wonderful work. I would not call it ingénues as Richter did but I have to admit that it does have some VERY VERY VERY interesting momen...

Was watching today the new DVD “Yevgeny Mravinsky: Soviet Conductor, Russian Aristocrat”. It is OK film, despite of very pore translation and sometime the commentaries of the wall but there is in there something absolutely phenomenal. Among many film...

Romy says "what does make you to scare: the sound that orchestra produces of the meaning and Bruckner’s expressions?"
I don't think there is "meaning" in the sense of particular ideas in music. It can suggest different images or emo...

I was listening the Opera it last night and then returned back to the Prince Gremin aria – there was a true fascination HOW the Italian bass Ferruccio Furlanetto he did the celebrated Gremin’s story.

Taras Oleynk aka “ML8” sent me a couple months ago his measurements of different driver line-level tubes including the Melquiades’s diver tubes – the 5E5P. I am posting his data here with his permission, including Taras’ statement that is JUST PRELIM...

As I previously told to manage six channels built around Russian tubes, and patricianly as different as 6C33C, is a pain in ass. Today, carefully examining my log file that I keep about the performance of each tube in the amp, in addition to everythi...

OK, let me to recall. We learned that the “hysteresis” (for a lack of better world) manifest itself on used tube only. Also, what I see in the images the one of the half of the used tube has more “hysteresis” then other. I think it leads to the follo...

Would anybody recognize who manufactured those 0A2 regulators?
Since I use them quite aggressively, I picked at MIT's fleamarket a few dozens of them dirt-cheap. The tube looked suspensions. Then marked as Amperex, Made in England and National Elect...

After I post my above message “The Altec Idiot” deleted one of my post (perhabs more, I did not check) within the thread claming that “it had no intrinsic value whatsoever”. Ironically, I personally believe that that the deleted/vandalized post ...

[quote user="steverino"]I always thought that Stokowski was very attuned to Mussorgsky. I think he was the first conductor of the original Boris Godunov version by Mussorgsky as opposed to the R-K orchestration. His Boris Suites are a good "synthesis...

Reggie, let to be clear that I use definition of kitsch in reference to audio installation. The Camerata as a cultural event is out of my criticism; in fact I applauded to what they did. The Camerata video did not bring me to the idea of perceivi...

I have received a few emails today informing me that this idea of a super high power low frequency SET would not be possible and it would be “pushing the things WAY too far”.
Well, perhaps…. I am not planning to build it but I would like to encourag...

Well, it took almost two month and much more money then I thought but I was eventually able to get very decent sound out of monitors. The SL600 sitting on my “fundamental channel’s” tripods did not do well as I told before and I was forced to s...

[quote user="op.9"]A 20w tripath and a 5w El84 set per channel is a sensible and cheap combination. The tripath and line level crossover section could be thrown in for free![/quote]

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
How difficult is it to find 437As good enough for a phonostage? For commercial applications is it a dead tube. WE might produce it again when they stated to redo the tubes but the existence of the Russian 6C45P pretty mu...

Is he saying other (lesser) phono stages are class A/B? Better, perhaps, to claim "all SET gain path"?
Yes, output impedance is (oddly...) very high; but one supposes it will mate with the newer Lamm line stages. VL also mentions that this unit ...
