Hi Scooter,
First of all, thank you for the Mac check list. Very helpful!About this Mac>More info>USB Device Tree: I appear to be able to select a dedicated port.My Revox B-260 S tuner seems immune to the Lavry at this point. I have a ferri...

A few years ago, hearing Romy's amazing FM recordings, the computer seemed a necessity. So now it is here, and it blesses and seduces.Jumping around playlists is sometimes a lot of fun. Quick comparisons and sudden thrills, and newness. Along with...

These gifts only FM can give! I am sitting home, do not bother anybody, turning up the tuner and suddenly discover absolutely amassing piece of music about which I never ever heard. I so felt in love with the piece that I listened it already 6 ...

Thanks, Gordon
I have absolutely no desire to undertake any DIY efforts for MiniMe amp. The amp that I want will be boxed, with bells and whistles, binding posts and matters. There were plenty of top of the line Yamahas, Sonys and Sansuis were...

Hi Romy,I've noticed the following about my behaviour and the site design:When I drop in here, my eyes turn directly to "Recent Replies in All Audio Forums".There I expect to find everything that's been written lately, and forget that the first post ...

Hi Antonio, I just realized I glanced over that thread assuming its relationship to the 6 levels of benefits. Its quite interesting, but I do not know where I fall in that spectrum (no, it can't be discrete stages as its far to "big" to really ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is always surprised me why audio people never did what FM people did. FM people crated a site: http://www.FmTunerInfo.com where they enumerated in very consistent format all available FM tuners (with exemption of so...

I had a business lunch this week at an upscale restaurant. They served some german specialties like I never had them before. With each bite there was a "taste explosion" in my mouth - but none of them wasted my tongue, so the next bite, the next cour...

I had yesterday our technician to make a first pass over the Mason and now it is eventually is in tune. It is become playable I have discovered a interring challenge. As I said before the acoustic setting for the piano is perfect in out listening roo...

What makes the organ so special is truly not the what, rather the how. Each pipe is not just tuned to the correct pitch, it is also "voiced" to contribute the proper color for the particular register and room that it belongs to. Some registers are li...

I am faced with remodeling a bit. I started out with all my equipment on an Arcici Lead Balloon rack and two speakers, which was nice and simple. The mono SE-DHT tube amplifiers I built are now on either side. I recently have come into po...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...

de charlus - I used a few of these Behringer boxes and the level of features is staggering. However, in my experience with the Ultra box, sound quality was significantly reduced in "bypass" mode, reduced further when employed as a DAC, and reduce...

In regard to the noise issue I had with my Pure Power unit in the past, I never noticed it with my tuner or other components, but I mostly listen to the phonograph. In particular the Decca cartridges are incredible as antennas and seem to pick up all...

[quote user="be"]Very interesting "review" thanks.The 150D is possibly not the most relevant comparison, it does not seem to be a high quality product since its ESR values are not even mentionned in the data sheets.Tha T97 series: ( http://www.vishay...

I brought home another "top-rating" tuner with better front-end and trying to see if the TU-X1 hold the ground. The competition was groundless – Sansui destroyed the contestant, I will talk about it more in future.

Well, I do not know if it was lightning but what else would it be. I did blame Amy with her hair and her curly machine and I did blame out little Koshkas for running around house like crazy and generating static perhaps. I even blamed the cleaning la...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="guy sergeant"] I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, ...

Robin, good point about instruments shifting harmonics according to loudness. Of course, hi-fi components (especially speakers) also "shift" with varying loudness, but the way a given component/speaker shifts does not necessarily correspond to how a ...

That is truly great and IO would like to express one more time my esteem to active Placette preamp.
I play with 3 tuners and multiple stereo decoder options trying to gig out the minute differences and aspect of sound of those units. It is a pure an...
