Almost all such hum finds its way into your audio signal path through a ground loop, although it is technically possible for AC 50/60 cycle hum to enter from adjacent unshielded power cables. Make sure the AC cable to the phono is well shielded and i...

It would be nice to run a solid line from the cartridge to the SUT. I do this, but I do use connectors at the SUT; not because I think it's electrically "optimal" but because I don't want to crack the case on the unobtanium T3000, let alone glop...

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 ...

Keith,
it is not the thread about Lavry Gold DAC I would rather to hear from people who have experience with other Multibits, perhaps with many Multibits, and who would be able to generalize their observation about Multibits vs. anything else. I kn...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Still the key is to treat the cables, all cables that go into tuner and into the processors. Do not forget that you have a perfect loop: tuner goes to preamp, as in the same time tuner goes to A/D-DAW-D/A- preamp. So, you...

Thanks Romy, I'll try connecting with an XLR to RCA cable. I've actually ordered a Henry Matchbox HD also because I can use it elsewhere if it doesn't help in this particular case. In any event, I'm hoping to share some thoughts on the Model 2's ...

It's dead. Nobody cares about sound anymore. Esp. not about passive listening. The few music lovers left there, are usually immune to their systems, and lack the knowledge to build their own. Most high end audio is a fraud anyway. I agree with Earl c...

can this be anything else but futile?1) If analogue the first thing be the cart, if digital the payer?2) If analogue the phono cable being the MOST important one in the whole system, and could yield some noticeable improvement.3) Has the system got a...

Romy,That's true that this resistor have negative impact on sound quality. You can run your 6E5P without it as long as you do not get parazitic oscillation.Just connect screen grid and plate electrodes right on tube socket, using shortest possible ca...

[quote user="cb"] Also i stick a 30k resistor in R3 and the results are very good. [/quote]R3 is Milq’s loading resistor and it hardly to do anything with amp itself. Milq has own input loading is floating on the bias chains and it has a ...

J, I hope you know by now that I really don't care about anything audio but my own results, except that I actually like sharing about this a little. Very specifically, I have absolutely no interest in trying to convince anyone of anything audio.I di...

...Why not also try a paralleled "solid-core" (single wire per leg) cable. You can twist the paralleled wires if you wish. Proceed carefully, using about 1-1 ½" between the wires. Try silver on the return first...Just as an experiment; as you note, y...

Thanks Dave. Sounds like you have indeed bitten off a lot to chew on. At this point you might be describing cable swaps, etc. I hope you will share again when you are more comfortable with your set-up, since - for all the sharing - no one but Romy...

That's excellent!I once was called to a friend's house to assess the sonic effects of a room DSP he was auditioning. I brought Kwame, my most trusted ears, along. Indeed Jack had a difficult-looking room. So we sat down to listen to some music with t...

Adrian, no luck in finding it. It the cable thread it is not.

If you are interested in the technical aspect of the effects that different D/AC (no-oversampling, no reconstruction filter) and cable (USB, S/PDIF, Toslink) topologies have on signals I recommend you have a look here:

The station that I most listen to is 105.9 MHz that broadcasts from one location 50 miles away at 100kW power and that is detected by 2 FM aerials mounted as a parallel array with rotator and ~ 40 feet of coaxial cable to the TU-X1. T...

Hi Romy[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
... I decided to listen my native feline instincts and go with them. So, decided to buy a Lavry’s Gold AD122. ....Now, the biggest problem remains what digital I/O PC interface to use after the Lavry’s digital...

Last week I sent my DAW’s DAC cable for refueling. The FM programs are slow – the concert season starts in a couple of weeks and everyone are resting now. So, I am spinning some records that made me to pay attention to the status of my analog. What I...

Mani, the neutral wire is meant to be "the" system ground, with zero potential, so it should not have any "input". It is known, however, that many factors conspire to contaminate ground wires (including the neutral wire) with electrical noises, and ...

[quote user="miab"]Adrian, can you confirm whether you were using cable with shielding or without? Like you I had the buzzing go away when on battery or without PP2000 in system. It became dead silent. Then with PP2000 back in system there was buzzin...

Paul, I've taken the pains to redo all the connections I could. Washing Deoxit away was a horror. I polished everything I could polish with a jewellery green polishing paste on a polishing cloth, and flushed the remainings with isopropanol.I then use...

[quote user="floobydust"] On a second note, you can also modify this for both adjustable AC and DC balance on seperate potentiometers. Both potentiometers would be in parallel with the filament (and padded) but you use the wipers independantly, ...

Hmmm, this is interesting. Is it your opinion then that if someone but Dominus on a cable cooker it could be ruined? This would affect trying 1990's Rev. A & B in my system because they can only come from used market and it would be unknown how they ...

Thank you for the description. How they are sealed is what I am most curious about. I've tried a few different techniques to seal fluid in the tubes during my cable experiments. Does it look like they simply injected a clear silicone, terminated to R...
