[quote user="maxzimum"]Does PP pay you to make these random posts in praise of their products?[/quote] They used to pay last year. They wired me $19.95 for each mentioning their company on my site. But since 2010 we agreed that it will be no more cas...

Hm. It was not good that Outside was gone. I hate AA. Besides the worthless audio context I wish that the human dirt that runs AA site died very slowly and from very painful illness. However I liked the Outside and I frequently visited it. It is not...

After 4 days of suiting in boxes in my listening room today is my day off and I decided to dedicate it to play with the new Pure Power 3000+.
I desired to use just records and connected all amps, preamps and phonostage to ol...

First, I'm impressed someone managed to create a website of substance on such a vapid topic as high end audio..Last night I saw the seattle symphony orchestra do berlioz damnation of faust. I was late because I stupidly didn't look at the ticket and...

Is there a pill for that too? Seriously, it would be very interesting to hear what solution you come up with because I have converted from listening music solo to a small number of audience (friends). So much that I listen by myself much less oft...

I tried the ML2s via their 16 Ohm taps, even though my speakers drop to 4R at about 80 Hz before going back up their average 8 Ohms at 30 Hz. The overall sound off the 16 Ohm taps was more balanced and integrated top top bottom, ...

Hi Antonio, I just realized I glanced over that thread assuming its relationship to the 6 levels of benefits. Its quite interesting, but I do not know where I fall in that spectrum (no, it can't be discrete stages as its far to "big" to really ...

Amir,in my world there is a process for selection and it is not AB or changing power cords. That does not mean that I deny that equipment (including cables) can change sound. It means that the normal audiophool description "it was immediately better"...

Dear Romy,I do not know who uses the PowerStation75 so I cannot say whether it is helpful. I use the Powerware 5115 UPS boxes for managing the mains power supply [details on www.nps.com.au under Products and Line Interactive UPS (Corporate...

The Big Secret of Cables is a fact, well know fact BTW, that electricity does not flow in cable but rather within an electromagnetic field around the conductor. The cable’s nearfield (let say 2” around a conductor) is as critical environment as the c...

Let it be known that I am nearly clueless when it comes to electronics. Building speakers, racks, pianos, or just about anything mechanical is no problem for me to build myself and, unlike Romy, it is usually pleasant for me for various reasons....

Anyhow, here is the mystery… The system completely got misbalanced imagining-vise. It sounds like each driver time-misaligned and the sounds are flying like wounded in ass gazelles all over the room. It actually even funn...

SOS, as a starting point, it does not seem at all odd to me that adding an "other" piece of equipment to the electrical chain might require a reconfiguration of the system ground scheme. Of course, the phono stage is the worst case for hum, PP o...

Following on from my last two posts, I finally managed to try the Model Two in AD mode. With the Model Two set to 24/4fs and wordclock master, I cannot discern a difference between the source and the source passing through the Model Twos AD/DA. Furth...

This weekend I decide to take my FM where it should be. I ran ~125” and installed a dipole on the roof of my building and serviced my tuner. The result was as expected but there was something unexpected. Along with all normal benefits of better anten...

The Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 tuner was made for German Ultrakurzwellen (ultra short waves or FM) Broadcast Network. The idea was to have a chain of wide-bandwidth composite signal receivers that feed re-transmitters. I made an attempt to accommoda...

Romy,I've been reading your site sporadically for some months: to educate myself and formulate some next steps. Anyway, I saw your note on visiting San Francisco, and would be happy to host you for some music listening. What I offer from a system s...

products are of greater importance to people living in countries with irregular
utility power. You don't have to be an audiophile to notice the benefits in
that situation. For me they are more useful in...

I fail to see why a dedicated audio room *should* be isolationist. If there are enough space (or good planning) the room can be made as a separated structure but at same time as a continuation of the whole house, allowing people to be there without d...

It is very interesting. A few days ago my local other friend intent to visit me and he asked me if I still do audio. That was a superb loaded question and I have been thinking about it for a while. From a prospective a regular Stereophile readin...

[quote user="op.9"]Romy, is there a problem with the DAC1 file? After 16' there is an audible click then a lowering of level and a much more bleached out sound. [/quote]Nope, it was how it was broadcasted. I did nothing with that file. I know that de...

N-set, I've never tried to make a "silver path". I have thought about Ag arm wire but I have not tried it. My cartridge coil and tonearm both use "high-purity" Cu wire, and the Cu arm wire feeds directly to the Ag wound SUT, which I use not because...
