The not-good to bad electricity continues to plague me, but I have been slowly wrestling some long-planned system changes together, and today one of the changes that I've actually implemented met up with good electricity and Great Sound for some very...

Well, Yoshi, at least you're on your way to getting your speakers more of a piece.I have for some time warned people against a mix-n-match approach with the DEBZs, based on my early experiments with them, and it is true enough to say, I think, that&n...

If I were more scientific I suppose I would do a better job with controlling other factors involved, but in this case the tubes are cheap, so I just swapped them out. Sound had gotten "disorganized" and bass was weaker, both in a way ...

I got home today, power up the payback and played some bootlegs of Australian festivals that Kostas Metaxas sent me another day. I paid attention that the sound was strange it was too hard atop. That was something new. I put in my player the CDs...

I am kind of at lost, as what is doing on with my playback is surprising to me. With a pair of new 6-ch Milqs, more or less acceptably calibrated (but not perfectly), the system begin to throw some very astonishing effects, so astonishing that I am v...

Adrian, I was thinking about what you said and I realized that at this point I am actually getting more music from more of my records now than I have done ever before. Yes, I do get "more" when the electricity is nice, but the most wonder...

Here, you can see the distance to front wall. The wall is about 10cms behind the moss garden.About 35cms to the wooden binary diffusors surface. Another 55cm to the drivers and total distance to front structural wall is about 90cm (2,95feet)Maybe mor...

I listened to Cessaro Speakers in MOC 2024 , day 1 I did not see Cessaro room because it was not in the main Hal, I visited Cessaro room in day 2 and 4.I guess the AC quality was bad in MOC 2024 , in day 1 most systems were not fully warm up and the ...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] The HF sound is very quick and weighty , which can be quite nice on classical guitar for examlpe, but the tone is not clear enough, meaning for example cymbal attacks don't have enough metallic ring to them, nor enough blo...

[quote user="N-set"]Sorry for being naive, but may gathering spectral fingerprints of the electricityduring bad and good days give something? Perhaps after N samples some pattern might emerge, although I guess nobody knows what to look for.[/quote]Ac...

God, I feel wrung out! What a MASTERPIECE!! Today the electricity was good enough that I could finally and unequivocally establish the relative VTA on my newly re-furbished cartridge, and then the electricity let this symphony really reveal itself to...

Sound was decent today but the electricity was just bad enough to bugger the music.I tried to listen to a number of LPs and at one point Alicia De Larrocha was sounding pretty good; then it went away and I thought I'd just compare Gould's French Suit...

I sent Mr Chow an e-mail, but have received no reply yet. However, the interesting thing is that tonight the music on the local classical channel was fantastic. Maybe the electricity was particularly good today? I think I am still very much in the ...

Interesting article, Guy. Typical of people to pursue something from the POV of reinforcing their own prior observations/investments, with no "control" and no "blind".Not that I'm any different here. Of course what I am doing is homing in...

Adrian, I wrote extensively about the TAP in its own thread. Given good electricity, the pairing of K&K and TAP is a pretty clean gain path for the cartridge, with far more range, color, etc. - everything you'd want - in the end than the pr...

I have mentioned more than once, and I think it should be obvious to fellow tweaks, that I instituted a sort of cost/benefit "go/no-go" policy some time back. Oddly enough, the ML2s fit comfortably within my parameters, as do the "value" pieces...

I would not say the circuit (per se) was becoming more sensitive to tube choice (and neither would I claim it's not...); I would say that as I have developed the system I have been better and better able to hear what more and more piec...

I find the discussions about "mad" electricity interesting because:We don't know what is causing the problemWe don't know what is fixing the problem but that PP seems to have something that gives at least a predictable result.I mean, we are not talki...

So, how did Dr. Wacks wind up at the Boston Audio Society meeting if he, in fact, has no idea of electricity's impact on sound? I thought the idea of "electrical interference" on a wide range of "appliances" was common knowledge. Certainly hospital...

Apparently it still happens: good electricity during the day. Wifey went to the fair with a granddaughter, so I took full advantage! If forced to guess why the electricity was good, I'd guess that the nearby school is out, kids are visiting relativ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Although "consistent" AC might be something equipment designers could allow for, I think the problems we are dealing with are both myriad and systemic, and we are probably stuck with these problems or some other systemic issues, ...

not know what certainty what constitute “electricity problems” and how sound related

Taking only the end results into consideration, and looking backward from there, the best sound I've gotten so far has been when the regular old electricity is at its best. And despite my continual worrying about "problems" stemming from i...

One of the most pleasant things about the Purepower 2000 (PP2000) that it in contrary to any other power devise I hear it has very limited if any impact to the original sound of a playback. Somehow the PP2000 surgically removes all negative manifesta...

In impatient, ill-advised. manic efforts to "compensate" for the EFFECTS of bad power I have swapped ICs, used different output taps, re-configured grounds, swapped tubes, re-positioned speakers, adjusted VTA, messed with my BR ports. And ...

As I have shared several times here, I happen to regard the Lowther as nothing more than a means to an end. Partly because of this, I have taken my lumps with this marque. Today, I am pleased to have finally made the speakers I imagined 6 years ago...

I got really pissed today. After initial “welcoming” and informing that they are working on it I kept asking PurePower what they were trying or tested and never was able to get any sensible reply. For the last two day they are dogging my calls and s...

"but it highly likely
that PurePower buttery does stay online during the unit run from AC"That's all I am saying also! My idea is ONLY that PP changed the degree to which the equipment *sees* the AC source instead of the battery source. How isolate...
