[quote user="HDTT"]Why do you shut off synchro lock? and syn start?[/quote] This part I do not understand as well. I would like to see the screenshot of Mixer as well. The Synchro Lock must be engaged ether via a dedicated wordclok cable or to read ...

I think this has not typically been used for FM, but it is my understanding that some FM stations used to use something like this to monitor their own broadcasts.Who knows how it has changed over the years, with digital, satellite and cable broadcast...

I have directional rotatable antenna the runs ~150 feet of coax cable; I think it is 6dB lost in cable. Then I have 4-way splitter that eats another 12db. I deal primary with 3 stations.
The WGBH is right next to me, one mile away and at the locatio...

OK, here are some follow up thoughts after the completion of the project. I am sure I will burn it for a month or so. I think everything will be fine, I do not expect any issuers technical or sonic. The way how the entrance to the corrector done it i...

[quote user="manisandher"] But can't you simply take the tape out from your Placette and plug it into the Pacific's analog inputs? I'm assuming that the Placette has, in addition to its variable output, a fixed output...[/quote] Yes, I have thought...

Paul S,I usually do not compare source components (or amplifiers or cables or etc.) in this fashion, DAC vs DAC, CDT vs CDT etc. unless I feel two (or more) of then (may) be too similar, like Lampizator and AN UK DACs I like. I prefer to focus integr...

Dear Antonio,
RE: your question about what the FA-7 connector is for, the TU-X1 brochure says:
An "F" type connector is provided exclusively for use with the optional Sansui FA-7.

[quote user="manisandher"] Surely, you're not going to find anyone more knowledgeable than Keith Johnson in this respect... and he uses the Model Two in Master mode (with the Lynx card)! [/quote]

Well, the wire paralleling is a common thing. This is where
the idea or Litz wire come from when they use many isolated wires for less them
skin depth. It doe serve theoretical purpose but not always server sonic purpose.

Ok, did today the Red’s tweeters. Got rid of the original Tannoy’s
cable mounting plate and ran my own cable directly from twitter. Drove it with Milq’s full range channel. Used
the speaker level 2uf cap (my favorite high voltage eQube coupling cu...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]OK, everything was fine and I might do into the sonic nuances of the PurePower unit. The PurePower drives a lot of switching nose from output. It has the filters but they help only partially. Adding capacitance to the PureP...

[quote user="RF at Ona"]Reading about the sensitivity of your system to electrical power supply problems reminds me of the days when I used to make my own equipment as much for the learning experience as for the final result.One of the mundane things...

I today was abusing my damn Second arm, trying to get my bass back from it. It was not that it had no bass but it was very shallow and very different bass. It had a feeling that it was not from there, it was almost as some kind of time delay in b...

It is very uncommon, practically never happens but still very rarely it is possible to talk about sound or playback systems from a prospective of “absolute tone”. Yes, the audio people love to take about tone of their audio but in 99.999% those audio...

I know – it idiotic even for my site but it us what it is. I do not think that I can generalize my observations as I have not a lot of experience with DHT tubes but one thing that I have been observing for the last week is really arouse my curios...

It is know that in addition to basic tastes (I believe bitter, salty, sour, sweet) of the Western culture those “different” Japanese people recognize another taste they call it “Umami”. Umami, if I am not mistaken, is a sense deliciousnes...

With the recent changes on my configuration changes and employing the “End of the Live Phonostage”, in duty I re-thinked my analog playback. I got rid to arms and one deck, changed the mapping between the arms and phonostages and ended up with quite ...

[quote user="manisandher"] And I can indeed replicate this effect... but only with my RME FF800 and not with my Weiss AFI1.
With the FF800 (slaved to the Pacific), changing the Pacific's wordclock does indeed change the speed of any audio/vide...

I have found the problem and was able to resolve the noise quandary.
The Lavry ADC has balance analog input and the Sansui has single-ended output. I use my PAD’s Dominus cable with an RCA to XLR adapter. The adaptor was made by BAT and I used it f...

Hello,
I've found this thread yesterday/today late night, skimmed it, and bookmarked to read today, what will just be possible to do a bit later.

Romy,
I've been storing all my digital music on a computer located fairly far
from the audio system for quite some time now. You've brought up a few
issues that are worth discussing.
1) Storing the digital stream - I assume you mean either (...

Part of the reason we call our computers 'transports' is to encourage people to think of the number-crunching part of an audio system in the same already familiar terms as a CD player - because all the same things matter: CD transports vary according...

At the risk of sounding like a yahoo, can i ask you romy if you have used your PC for internet radio playback. , as opposed to cd or other forms of digital playback ? My cd collection played out of iTunes to my DAC sounds lifeless, pointless. Howev...

[quote user="Max Shatsky"]Amir,You can try to connect Toslink cable to your MacBook headphone jack, if your model supports this. In my case, it made a huge difference vs the USB interface. And then you can compare it to Toslink output from your CEC. ...

Markus, I am a big proponent (and frequent violator) of the "One Change at a Time" rule. In this case the "scientific" part of the idea is simply to track audible changes in a particular run of IC, since they/it are/is plainly di...
