Bill, thanks for that information. I am curious primarily because it is very rare to hear of a system as complex as yours that is electrically quiet! I suppose that the 100A sub panel is nominal 240V and the 30A legs are nominal 120V. Do you know ...

Yeah, the power cord was nothing special. The Shunyata cord PLUS the Hyrdra conditioner represent the single best upgrades to my system aside from John's mods. I was skeptical about power cords and conditioners, but I'm a bit of a fanatic a...

Yesterday arrived the Belkin Synapse cable. I have been listening this afternoon some music, and I'm surprised how this 6ft piece of wire has been able to remove the high frequency crap. Clean, coherent, no false detail anymore... I believe it affect...

I have recently received two CDs from a friend who owns a SME turntable, has been using a Van den Hul Colibrí cartridge, and for fun purposes, set up a DL-103 on it (which I own but still have to set up). I have been listening to both recordings, pla...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Is this the kind of set up you're contemplating?[/quote]I do not know what it is and what he was trying to accomplish. On the picture the TT’s looks like Micro 2000 or 3000 and another TT that I do not know. Micro 2000/3000...

Gera, what sort of active X/O are you using there, for what sort of music/expectations? Doesn't your X/O have a buffer already? There are plenty of pro solutions that combine the X/O with pre-amp functions, including the ability to drive long IC runs...

Romy,Thank you.I think I should to give some break-in time to Sylvania 0a2.50 hours is enough? Previously I used in my EAR the next set of tubes ECC83: 1-Amperex (red print), 2-Amperex (red print), 3-Sylvania 7025 (yellow print).When I built "End of ...

Something I see a lot of in studios is the "distribution amplifier", that joins and splits the audio (and/or "video") signals into any number of channels. I believe I want buffering, but I am not ready to track and impliment the "balanced" configura...
|
|
I don't suppose I get this, either.Why would you ever on the conceptual level opt to NOT have "Full Range" and a "flat frequency response" that covers the whole audible spectrum?Sure, this is easier said (or thought of) than done, it's "complicated",...

[quote user="Markus"]I have recently been thinking about efficiency. Apart from enabling you to use low power amps, is there really any reason why high efficiency is better than low or medium efficiency, all else being equal?[/quote]Fundamentally, al...

[quote user="Rewind"] The drivers we use may be superior or inferior. As long as mine are the best I could possibly afford I can relax. I do love horns, and I can probably find quite a few errors in my signal path. If they are there the horns will am...

Well, the pros always say, all balanced, and ground everything, and this is the usual short cut to quiet, long cable runs in complex systems. I think Guy H will make something for you if you can explain to him what you want. Again, while one buffer ...

Hi,I've just taken receipt of a Model 2 to use as a DAC in my study (using the ADC occasionally for recording live from a mic). I would like to feed the balanced XLR outputs of the Model 2 into the single-ended RCA inputs of my Berning Siegfried amp,...

I am all set with my reference arm but my dally arm with SME 3009/Otophone SPU Classic severely underperforms in my view. The arm use Otophone SPU Classic that is all together is OK balanced cartridge. Nothing overly exciting but more or less neu...

Well, they got John Curl's name on it, and it's "machined from a billit", 2-chasses, yadda, yadda. It also features the "new wave" balanced/presumed- differential topology and a "mystery"/proprietary (presumed discrete) first stage. Likely, it will...

I am new to this interesting site, and am hopeful of getting some assistance with a project. I have purchased a set of TAD 1201 mid-bass drivers to begin a 4-way active system for critical home listening. (in a dedicated room, 21' x 25' w...

Romy, I do get that your objective in this case is not a "flat" response, and that is certainly not what I am talking about here, apart from offhand mention that you - oddly-enough - have a very balanced chart with the "oops" in. Actually, I wa...
|
|
First order of business is to sell them at a high price; so, if their approach and their spiel seem familiar...Again, this sort of "balanced", "ultra-low-noise" circuitry has been around in the pro sound market for a while now, but NOT for phono stag...

[quote user="nl"]Systems like these are all about understanding the emotional content of the music, not about Sound.[/quote]So, I take it you are saying that this system is more focused on a specific level of the 7-level perceptual paradigm? If so, ...

Wouldn't it be nice if the PP2000 finally allowed a "qualified" system to produce realistic HF, where the treble sounds clearly originate down where they are supposed to and the highest frequencies are "inaudible", like they're supposed to be?&n...

I tried a highly modded DEQX on my horns for some time, we did all the time alignment with it, we used 1st order and 4th order xovers and everything in between, we used LeCleach adjustment for bass and all the other drivers we had it sounding for som...

Macondo, because it is prodigiously time aligned has very nerow and well defined listening sweet spot. The only same identical listening spot I heard only from one another loud speaker, it was Wilson Alexandria which was very accurately time alig...

Zanon, My playback is nowhere near the state where I might think about the DPoLS, I am trying to set up a very rudimental basic balanced sound in the new room, approximately defining where would be the speakers, what they will be doing and how they w...

In this cable thread there are some ideas about materials and construction of cables. My most recent attempt for good-sounding shielded phono cables are from Bud Purvine, using his specialty Litz wire construction, Vampire 800C connectors, and unblea...

Let's see if I can magically produce a cd-dvd-preamp-remote volume conntrol-equalizer-wifi-d/a-save stations-and cost under $1000. And it will even tune in TV stations, record them, FM and internet files and even do a/d encoding up to 24/192. Can't b...

“…stop by and bring some of your music….” – how many times we hear when we invited to listen someone’s playback. I am sure all of us have a selected favorite recording to assess playbacks and I would like to share some of mine that I have been ...
