Has anyone had the opportunity to listen to this device and form any impressions?http://www.sound-smith.com/cartridges/sg.htmlI recall that Win Labs made something similar in the late 70's but I never heard one....

Hi, I am new here and would like to say hi.I am a owner of an ET SU-1 and would like to know what phono stage would go best with it. Would a Lamm LP2 be a good match?Will be using a Dynavector XV1s with it. Thanks in advance...

Yes, it is anybody's guess how an active SS-only phono stage would sound with a low output MC, since this is usually a recipe for death (of Music). My own cartridge, for example, only puts out .125mV. I'm not so sure even the 2008 would work for my...

Thanks, Keith and Montepilot.
I did have my 7788-7721 phonostage with LCR filter and I always liked it, pay attention - it was 68dB gains with just two stages and with NO step-up transformer. Allnic Phono is 3 stages with step-up transformer...

Thanks, floobydust.
There are a lot of interesting points in you post to consider. What speaker you drive with your 2A3? If they are relatively high sensitively (like compression drivers) then did you consider going with a single stage? I think I ha...

The great thing is, you will (sooner than you can possibly imagine) have a house full of individuals. If you are lucky, your kids will hang out at your place with their friends. I actually bought and kept stocked an extra refrigerator when my kids ...

OK, there are a few acceptable ways to record stuff and play it back +/-simply and easily, directly.Is this easily done with 88/24 RAW?How to format/master and dub (ie, share) remains the big question.So how would one record off-air, save the ma...

Unless they are quite unusual I doubt your amplifier's output stage uses regulated supplies.My point was that PUREPOWER/Inverters, etc. deliver a far more constant AC voltage than the line and that this could be a reason people find them to be usefu...

First, Adrian, Thanks for your feedback on the newer designed 2A3 tubes... very interesting. I've looked at all 3 of these brands before but have not as of yet purchased any (I have a large collection of 45 and 2A3 of various NOS US brands...

I wonder if anyone make, commercially or otherwise, any (good sounding?) a two-stages classe “A” hybrid running 100-200W into 8Ohm, with no feedback? AcousticPlan looks like tried to do something but their amp is just 50W and it looks they have...
|
|
[quote user="N-set"] That all will give 5 stages if I'm not overlooking some posibility: 3 filtering stages, with the first one bypassable, the driver being at the same time the last filtering stage [/quote] It is 3 stages total not 5. You do not nee...

Hi Romy,What a busy year just gone! Finding enough time to just sit down and get the DSET's going has been impossible, but I have time now and have started the process.At the moment I am introducing some high voltage to the first amplifier chassis, ...

It is kind of done for one channel. It does not look sexy by I care less about it at this point as the PS sits at the bottom shelf of my double-amp stand and practically is invisible. The layout is not perfect as I did not want to drill a lot of new ...

|
...future subjunctive...Romy, I am not sure that the first part of your response actually addresses the first part of what I was talking about. So, I +/- repeat myself:As an extreme example, if I see a claim of "80 dB gain" for a phono stage, it is ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I think that you did not exactly my version but made some modifications; I do not know/remember what they were. [/quote]CCS heating of the tubes based on LT337A, 2x0.47u+470K at the output,my filtering is a bit bulkier at ...
|

[quote user="Paul S"]OK, I think I get it, except you will have a sand bridge along with your crap-load of Farads guarding ground, and your PS out feeds all six "channels", including the DC MF without dividers? [/quote] I will use the same trick ...

I'm working on a project that may be of interest to others, and thought posting to this old thread was a better way than beginning a new post.I use speaker level passive crossovers, between multi-amps (not DSET) and drivers. My desire is to move the...
|
|
I am with you on this one. I am also very suspicious of gigantic, 4-chassis phono stages if only because I just wonder why the need for all those damn noisy parts, along with concommitment connections?So it really pisses me off to admit that th...
|

[quote user="Paul S"] I have stated several times that the ML2s are less sensitive to bad electricity than my phono stage, and this is true. However, this is not to say that the amps are immune to bad electricity. In fact, it is the effects of bad el...

Why do we use DHT tubes? it is not because of their technical specifications. They have low transconductance, a problematic direct filament, and they cost a lot.Obviously, it is because of their sound. Some people like it and some people don't.The DH...

I agree that that article was one of the few that I would have been happy to affix "Steverino" to. I know that Romy has minimum high regard for SACD and I am not particularly keen on it myself. But since I only have about 75 CDs/SACDs I have never se...

I have read about but not heard the transformer RIAAs and the "No R" version (or was it "no C"?), and I have seen some fairly ingenious ways to try to keep impedance at a constant 600 Ohms. But the 10k does pique my interest, because now w...

I not juts actively hate this configuration but also actively abhor the rational that made people go for this direction.
The Morons use horrible power amplifiers and sonically impotent speakers and suffer from harsh and cruel Sound. Instead of tras...

This appears to put the internal values of its gain stages into play, which in turn appears to cut the signal path parts count, all right. Since we are not given the (presumed "dedicated") cartridge H, did anyone run reverse numbers to see if this p...

Lucian,
here is where the beauty of 7788 comes - max Gm with absolutely lowest noise ( the area where Russian tubes reportedly can hardly compete). What is particularly cool about 7788 that that are dead quiet one after another. I have near ten dif...

I was reading the Stefano Bertoncello's post about his new multi-amping again options.
http://twogoodears.blogspot.com/2010/09/multi-amping-again.html
.. and I feel that it would be a good idea to brief summarize multi-amping cros...

CV, Good scenario as well but my leading idea is slightly different. I would like to keep any reactance from the path, would it be inductive of capacitive, to assure ultra fast response time. Basically I would like to maintain the MF amp as it used ...
