Romy,I don't recall seeing a bypass switch per se, and don't know if the other control functions ofter something equivalent. I haven't really experimented with the 3000+ much, as my system is in a state of influx, with addition of items (entire cabl...

Hi Anthony,I am amazed by the work you have accomplished so far and love your stands and horns stacks.Two comments though in term of overall esthetics although I realise that having spent so much time on this it may be too late to make changes.I woul...

(Romy feel free to move this post)[quote user="Paul S"]N-set, I understand you do not mean to hijack the thread with the Axiom, so I actually tried to make generic and/or thread-related observations. I don't know the 6E5P, but generic issues with sp...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Very briefly answering you question, this it is not in the frame of the thread.
Lavry’s SPIDIF interface is not good. Since the only digital cable that I accept was Synopsis, I was trying to use it with Lavry. For whateve...

[quote user="N-set"] While I agree that they are typical "full of nothing" boxes and in no way I'd like to defend anything connected to them, butI doubt that the SUT-to-grid distance is such a critical layout parameter: 1) this wiring is within the b...

It might be true that a properly configured Milq will cause you to forget about amps for the foreseeable future, if not forever...but really it is not so simple, especially if you are accustomed to particularly high-performing (unfortunately offensiv...

Thanks Romy!I went with two tiers as I do not have much space between the speakers and the side walls as I have a 2.5M cabinet on the front wall.I named my amp Koshka as I always felt Koshka made a contribution to the development of the Melquiades an...

[quote user="steverino"] Sorry for the potentially ignorant question since I do not yet own one. Can't you remove the battery pack from the unit and see what the sound is like? According to the Pure Power web site the battery packs are optional so I ...

[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. ...

The benefits of treating wire are not truly debatable – put in this way I would not debate it. My interests is not to debate the benefits but rather to be able to confirm that atoms were aliened by cryo treatment. You are right – none of the wire man...

[quote user="manisandher"]Sorry Romy I can't help you - I've never heard of this before. But I'm certainly tempted to explore further now...(Incidentally, my new PP2000 will arrive tomorrow.)[/quote]You can Google the “Legally Slow Down Power Meter” ...

I would place my bet on common mode noise being carried on the safety ground long before blaming RFThe ground on the amp has been tried both lifted and present. I have reversed the AC cord using a cheater plug without effect. I have tried grounding t...

Scooter, I know what you ask. I wish I have a cleared time to deal with audio. Unfortunately since my move I am engaged into a chain of events that has nothing to do with audio and that I do not particularly enjoy, but I need to do it now. This stupi...

Steverino, I feel with Bruckner, not like with anybody else, people shall practice holistic approach to listening. It is not juts melodies and sounds of tunes but the whole experience of being who you are exposed to the whole experience of proper pr...

Last week I spent a few hours at the scene of NY’s Stereophile Show – HE 2004: a half-day on Thursday and 2 hours on Friday. As many other audio-shows it had many semi-ugly colorations, however as any audio shows this zoo trip brought it’s own “inter...

[quote user="drdna"]Remember I am not systematically anti-battery. I am anti-"pro-battery" which is to say I do not view it or anything else as a panacea. Each electrical device accomplishes a goal and degrades sound. The goal is to work within your ...

[quote user="decoud"]I suppose at least you can give him credit for reversing the switch from electrocube 935s back to your favourite 950s....[/quote]Nope, I do not see any reason to extend any credit in there. I have no idea where those caps are ins...

[quote user="drdna"] What was more concerning is today some 60 Hz hum also re-emerged in the system, sounding like a vibrating cell phone going off in the back of the room. It was interesting how it was sort of localizable, but the hum is annoying. A...

[quote user="manisandher"] My initial idea was to run just sensitive digital equipment and the preamp from the PP2000. But actually, there is no reason why I couldn't run everything (except the PC) from it. [/quote]

I'm not sure exactly what I expected from swapping the digital cable at this point, but what I got was not it.Before I bought the Belkin Synopsis cable I just swapped out, I had sought out and purchased an Acoustic Revive cable, on the strength o...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Again, it was very interesting, but… Let agree that methodologically you did not try Placette as it performance was masked out by you need to use your Neurochrome buffer to get gain. Your chain will sound as the worst eleme...

[quote user="TonyB"]I disagree. I think it depends on the turntable. If I did not try it on MY turntable, I would not believe. My Verdier uses a DC motor "sloppy" mounted on grommets. The drive is linen thread. I have tried silk, different threads, 1...

It took a LOT of time in CAD using what I had learnt from building the power supplies and then adapting it to match the requirements of the rest of the system. I have decided to mount the DSET on the horn stack and direct connect the speaker cables....
