[quote user="N-set"]I'm not sure if yoy are aware of the fact that LED bulds have small but powerfull voltage converters inside operating at 40kHz or so, RF poluting the room and the lines. better avoid than filter.Halogen bulbs (halogen element pack...

Well, maybe a little cussing first to set the tone. The older SPU's are now well sought after, many will end up in collections at now over inflated prices probably in the Far-East where they are worshipped. I've heard a few older SPU's and even those...

I have modified my system to make sure it has a single dependency on AC. Until now, everything was plugged to PP except one regulated PS for the PC feeding the DAC. This PS in not on PP because it generates lots of noise, and plugging it to PP inject...

KM,
Yes, it turned out that the B4/B5 sockets are not a problem at all. I do not like the original sockets with springy contacts and I like the contemporary sockets that hold the pins with full micro-tubes.
Regarding the YO186’s price - this is dif...

I am with you with you anti-servo prejudgeses. The moment from motor, regardless if it is strong or now weak, should be constant. At the very moment when the moment changes it’s value the platter performs a microscopic “move” in it’s bearing. So the ...

Today I concluded what I suspected from the beginning: in the double-deck configuration I lost some bass. I know that Micro did some heavy mass stabilizers for their TT and some other companies did the same. People clamed that sound got “better...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Your first law of upgrading usually seems to be "identify what dissatisfies you in your playback before you try to change things" or something like that. Very sensible advice. What is it about the sound of your existing TT ...

The whole presentation of sound is very different with your and my file. Your file is very lush sounding. It is very pleasant but a bit too euphoric for THIS music. My file is much more dynamic (if comes from my transformer) and in the way this dynam...

[quote user="Serge"]Okay, I see your point, though I feel there is something wrong about magnets in the MC catridge's vicinity. I will have arguments later, probably.Now we can look at it differently. Remember direct drive? A motor sits right below t...

[quote user="Wojtek"] and the forum which has already perfectly developed herd behaviour is most appropriate one. Yeah, I worded the post in a wrong way (as usual) If you're in a position which allows you to have intimate experience with most Mass TT...

Even I do not share the Stitch's pessimism about the new Air Force TT but I do see his point that the new Air Force is kind of light version of or Micro 8000. The platter base of Air Force is 43kg but had 35Kg. The stainless steel platter...

David82,
It would be a rare occasion
when I expend to an audio person who is angry regarding an audio manufacturer an
inflammatory tip. I think if you read my site then you might hear my reasons.
I do understand and do sympathize
with your...

Hello Romy a long time visitor now a member. I have always been interested in what improvements can be made to my incoming power. I use a BPT 2, PS noise harvesters and quite lines through out the house. My system has always had very good sound...

[quote user="oxric"]What's much more interesting is the practice of audio, facing practical problems, having a clear idea of what your objectives are and having some form of strategy of how to address any identified shortcomings. A lot of it is neces...

Well,
If driving medium has no or neglible importance that's even better!
If you tried tape, you've got the pulley already so why mess up with trying to get required rubber belt lenghts?
" seems to be in fashion" meant that some people prefer it t...

That is a whole another subject all together. I truly have no strong opinion on the subject but I do hear a lot of talking noise about the “quality” of motors for heavy belt driver turntables. My idea is that with a sufficiently heavy platter and pro...
|
|
Jam,Yes, as I now see, you are right that the bearing was merely filled to the rim with oil and that it doesn’t have a pump feature (like some older turntable bearings did). And yes, the lead is touted for anti-seize (mostly copper these days), but a...

If you read my site and are accustomed to some off the wall ideas that sometimes popup to my heard then you did not heard about the latest one, the most moronic of all. I have to preface it by saying that I do not looking for any TT improvements. I ...

After more than 10 years of using the Micro Seiki MAX-282 tonearm I realized that if it is my second stereo arm then why I presume it shall have Second Sound? I have properly performing mono and stereo arms and I have a dally arm. The Daily arm is a ...

David, you are thinking like a basement TT maker, which is all todays TT makers in one way or another. The reality is that no one need TTs and the makers happy to make and to sell 5 turntables a year. For sure it is expensive and difficult to make. T...
|

David, I think you a bit overly glorify the notion of "precision instruments" that we all are a bit taken in high-end audio. If you go to a good hobby shop and by a microscope for 200 dollars, or lawn mower for $300, or a kitchen juicer for $300 the...

OK, Romy gave me an oppotunity to hear the system with the injection channel, so here's what I heard.The injection channel affects the presentation in a minor and in a very major way. Minor in context of already well accomplished Melquiades/Mac...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]What are the pads you are applying, ie what material?[/quote]
I do not think, and I might be wrong, that material matters. Bud, doing his cone driver feels that deviation of mass maters and he “smears” the bouncing of the ...

Denis,
In the PP 1050 I had better result what I use extra ferrites in deferential modes, or putting ferrites in each individual wire. I never had problem with PP 1050’s dynamics until I begin to add capacitance to the P...

[quote user="JANDL100"] I don't know if it will have the "right tone" though - you know, I didn't think this was possible, but I think you are getting even fussier about recordings and orchestral sound as time goes by!! [/quote]

what is audio ?
Audio is our reaction to sound , if there are audiophiles with different reactions then you may convince yourself Audio quality is relative to listener.
I think it is not true. The real quality exist itself .

ArmAlex the fun thing is that you read Romy posts here without understanding his ideas and copy paste Romy instructions in your Audio system and the result is lower than those audiogon guys (an example of your audio logic -> you buy gryphon spea...
