Yep, I was trying to evaluate the opportunities – it is not that I what to have a lot of space but I would like to add the space in random order. The external network drives wanted me to buy the identical drives in today prices, too expansive of I go...

[quote user="steverino"]I think this only works with grossly deficient recordings. I believe Levinson chose a historical recording as his example for the reviewer. But it allows the FM Acoustics listener to spend endless hours fiddling with the contr...

[quote user="tokyo john"]Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note doe...

It uses at the buttom a regular sealed or ported box and the driver as direct radiator but they also put the speaker on the spikes and made the bottom looks like it is a horn output. Also at this larger model[/quote]On the smalle...

Romy, I am on the verge of an L-pad for my HF ribbons, but in my case I believe it is mostly the MC cartridge response I am wanting to offset, on a case by case basis.Also, this would allow me to adapt HF to recordings, since there are some...

[quote user="drdna"]After all some people proclaim there is no difference with different wires; clearly not true. BUT, it is a difference that is important to only some people. Is it possible Romy cannot hear the sonic problems that are solved by the...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Here's my latest hallucination :So I'm sitting there listening and sucking down a beer, when, à propos de rien, it comes to me; more on how to neutralize a suspended floor. After shoring it up with screw jacks (which btw, ...

As much as the concept of MiniMe I find is supremely useful as much it was unlucky in my implementation. I went over a number of monitors, then built my own versions of MiniMe, then in the new room I used Danlavy SCIII. Some of them were good but it ...

I can’t figure out what it is since it is a first Ortofon that I opened. Can you tell me what it is? Anyhow, I am little disappointed as I anticipated that it should be a purely mono cartridges. I wounded what I have to do with it if I have only 2 ca...

Unbelievable idiot! Last night an audio guy visited me and I played to him some music. I was not sitting in the listening spot but what stroked me was now stringent and how shallow the playback sounded. I was waling around the listening room, scratch...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Generally I like it but I have some concerns, whatever rubber
feet and decompiles you will be using you will not defeat the vibration if you
have a few transformers and a few 500A input chose sitting at the bottom. You

You force me to say that you are really rude person , or at least you make an effort to be so . Do you really think I'm so stupid to want a line filter which costs $ 5000 only "to reduce high frequencies " ? The electrical line in my houseis terrible...

Actually (probably because of the phase coherence and tight dispersion control) they sound very good even with some basic equipments, like the small 300 USD Parasound zAmp for example, but I like them most with the pro MC2 Audio MC1250 amps or the Fr...

...to obsess about speaker wire. Thinking about this a little more I realise that my preference for foil cables has always been in relation to speakers with passive crossovers. DSET is much more simple, the amplifier is driving the transducer direc...

OK here is another take of the same section. This time with the Aesthetix Callisto. I set the Tascam's inputs to "bypass" and used the volume controls on the Callisto to attenuate the signal to about the same level as the previous recording...

[quote user="mem916"] OK, I finally have my sample re-recorded in a format matching your file. Details are the same as before. (I set the Tascam inputs to "bypass" and used the Callisto to attenuate the signal. Levels are the same.) The only chan...

Charlus, it is not about an expression of gratitude, trust me, I am very indifferent neither to criticism or appreciation. Ironically what you are trying to do is in a way an organic holding a touch of a few audio ideas that I happened to advocate as...

Paul, I do not care about dusts. I coved what need to be coved about the rest…. I do not care. The building of midbass - is a final stage of my moving and ….unpacking. So, I did not put any “vulnerable” furniture in the house as I knew that the midba...

Last couple days I was playing with my new tape looped Placette, riming Pacific from Tape Rec output. How little a Moron need to be happy!!! Even I still have some technical issuers that I need to resolve using Pacific in and out of the tape loop but...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, what I use Pacific in DD mode then Pacific and Lynx run digital circular reference and this mode does not make any sense to me, unless I do specific DD task, that I practically never do. The Cat[/quote]Yes, I see your ...

Today I was trying to make some experiments. I made some recodings to my reel-to-reel machine from LP. I did not go crazy and ran fairly poor cables just off my preamps. It was BASF 486 at 15ips ½ track. It was not bad, in fact quite good....

Unfortuanately, the NJ Symphony "Golden Collection" is up for sale. The orchestra paid so much for the collection, they can not pay off the debt. They are looking for high rollers who can buy the instruments, but permit the orchestr...

Who knows why, but I can get away with running tiny, unshielded 6N POCC Cu arm wires straight into my step-up transformer. OTOH, I absolutely have to use shielded cable for the run between my step-up tranny and the K&K. For well-shielded phono ...

I think for a start there are so many different ways of getting a sound that is acceptable to the listener it pays not to be too dogmatic.I am in the early days of developing my system with speakers from 4 different manufacturers running in active an...

[quote user="item"] For future reference, in case anyone else is as confused as I am about the content of this thread; from the horse's mouth: the Item DAT1 could just about be considered a 'DAW' (the SPDIF version records analog, and you can run...

Paul S wrote in BlueWhat are you doing to vary the port? I was thinking about a tube that could slide (or thread) in and out, so it could be played with. There are any number of ways to do this with o-rings, etc., as long as the tube...

Romy, Why do you think the improved sonics were related to the residual noise or more precisely the hypothetical delta of noise components from one day to the next? You were very non specific about what was better and to what degree. If you are perc...

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...
