Thanks, Clark, I will go with regular commercial Romex. There is no such a thing as “specialty AC cable” and the thing that they write about their cable is crap in my estimation. “Our custom high-end Power AC In-wall cable is a 10 AWG (5.27 mm2), spe...

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

Last night electricity was surprisingly OK, despite of the current heat wave and that everyone runs air-conditioning and I found myself listing deep into high. It was mostly LP and I came to a few interesting observations regarding the sound of my ai...

I read a good feedback about it at Amazon, that all that I know about it. http://www.amazon.com/Musical-Fidelity-V-LINK-SPDIF-Converter/dp/B004PH03GU So, what you do, you play your PC CDR to the V-LINK’s own driver and then feed an external DAC? A...

I am not sure what all those conversations are all about. No one argue that a recording shell not hit 0dB and it was no my objective to prove it. The point that I was trying to make is that Wavelab meter did measure the right amplitude and the file i...

I think correct positioning the watt puppy and maxx model in room is not easy and each time i listened to them i sensed a bloated sound, I guessed bloated sound refer to acoustics. i know these model drivers are not fast but i guessed in a good room ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] A few years back I wrote somewhere that I “developed” a semi-mathematical formula according to which an acoustic system’s result might be absolutely objectively weighed up. I did not go very far with advisement of this eq...

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]You absolutely incorrectly, in my view, look at the data. The files of cause do not have the same start mark. Why shell they? I did not subtract one from another. You did in phase the files and did the subtraction but what ...

Actually it was not only the best worst amplifier at CES but it was the best worst amplifier I even heard in my life.
So what happen between the WAVAC 833 and Sound? A lot of quite unique things…

I have to admit that I was experimenting last night with Pacific’s Low Level Extension and it was not bad at all. It would not be my last words as I would need the whole system up and running to see what is going on – the region where the Low Level E...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering.[/quote]Well, digital X-Overs would appear to o...

I thought I would look at the Memory Player specs and was surprised to be greeted by what is in my books an obscene price list. But it may be quite cheap for others. These things are all relative of course.Best regardsRakeshThe Memory Player 64 T...

I think that I understand how HDTracks works. Their customer base purchases on the assumption that they are getting better than normal resolution. Their customer base does not understand what resolution means for sound, but they believe that sound is...

hi RomyConfusing description this headphone alikeliness. I heard couple of strong beaming horns and noticed despite the good resolution (equivalent to dampened room) also a very narrow stage. Especially the center usually being like a meter or two cl...

Paul McGowan is a regular poster on youtube. I have to take his presentations with a grain of salt as they always conform to sales pitch for PS Audio products, but they are interesting. Recently, he asserts that tubes in preamp stage will provide h...

Under no circumstances, never, unless a given performance is not available in any other media, that become lately a huge problem.
I have seen down-converted recordings from 24bits to 16bit that sounded OK. However, I never head anything that was do...

[quote user="Paul S"] This may also be a factor in the "randomness" capability, which is really only freedom of movement, and not "randomness", per se.[/quote]

As always I tend to play around, experimenting with components in my equipment a little bit. I strongly believe not enough emphasis is placed on topology and the physical layout of the circuit, as sometimes people forget that a circuit is a phy...

I think 11 years after High-Resolution formats hit wide public it is possible to make some generalizations. I can not comment on SACD. I do not use it and consider it being an fraudulent crap. I do not do DVD-A as I do not like it and consider it ga...

Thanks, Tommy it might be very interesting. The player looks like it has 3-tube output stage and I wonder it is possible to run unit this all time on but to shut down juts the tube section?
Also, beside all typical curiosity regarding sound of that...
