I have to admit that I personally care less about powerful full-range SET amplifiers. I do not take their sound seriously, in fact I do not believe they are cable to do “right full-range sound” and what I see then I always imagine them with huge, bar...

I understand that Mr Kondo, the founder of Audio Note and more recently Kondo Sound Labs died in his sleep while attending the recent show in Las Vegas.Kondo pioneered the use of silver cable in the late 70's, owned and operated YL acoustics making s...

The good thing about Amo cores is, they are not just "clear" and/or "fast", but they also create/allow a lot of Music information that is very well integrated, and it is consistent, whatever is happening, incuding remarkably consistent dynamics, chro...

Not specs, but sound. To that end, like I've been saying, pure copper or pure silver, no plating. There is also a cable thread.Best regards,Paul S...

Big power installations use big screws. M4 or M5 will not reliably tighten - the thread is to small, will not bite into the copper enough IMHO. So I went with brass. If chasing conductivity, why not silver than?Cheers,N-set...

I recognise your observations about the Ag vs. Cu sound, but instead of mixing the two materials I think it is better to change the diameter.I experienced 0.5 mm silver wire to be too thin soundvice, have you tried 1.0 mm or even more? The thiner the...

Here is one of these "Audio-Cretins" who is using a ML2.1. I am going to modify it a little bit, new high quality binding posts (WBS pure silver), Mundorf Caps etc. Someone here who did some mods or did think about it?...

The carts from Fidelity Research were made until 1989. From what I know, the FR-7 series are different among with Impedance, Output and what kind of diamond cut they have. They last forever based on their internal construction and can be retipped qui...

Marketing have done there job well if said consumer product or service become's a house hold name, or in this case brand names with a golden stamp of approval within this hobby. Every crowd has a silver lining....I think there are more brands of ...

Hi,I used telecom grade solid silver/palladium contact relais with heavy goldplating, sealed, gasfilled. They are quite inexpensive, but I found them equal/better than mechanical switches.Ciao T...

[quote user="Thorsten"]MY PERSONAL current realisation (where I to build one) would look like this:1) S&B TX-102 as volume control, with suitable switch2) 2V Lithium Battery negative pole to the grid of the Valve, bypassed with good non-magnetic ...

Well, I figured you'd react like that, at least at first ;>}.Referring only to the PS, ignoring the tinfoil hats, etc., taking the whole thing out of context if you need to, it just looks like an interesting way to way to keep the PS tan...

What kind of di-el grease do you use? Silicone based? Could you give the name please.Also what was your procedure: steel brush -> grease -> reconnect? Yes, I use Vampire RCA for phono, unofortunately the golden layer is not very durable, on one...

Thank you for your reply and honest feedback that there is no silver bullet.In the interest of trying to move forward, is there anyone in Sydney, Australia who has a Macondo based speakers, whom I maybe able to visit and enlighten myself?Thanks ...

The very much non-definitive EAR 834P Modification Guide by Loesch Thorsten
Hi,Given that Romy already let the proverbial Cat out of the Bag (pun intended) I think I may have to make good here....
The EAR 834P is a very simple, but rather smartly ...

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. I do not believe that PP2000 shall be treated as appliances. Purepower units are complex machinery and they have to be serviced only by Purepower technicians. I would never agree to have an external pers...

well, to add my bit of mustard to this here oldie thread.I HAVE mixed film and oils successfully in e.g. a tweeter x-over of a Burmester 961. The tweeter is an AMT (air-motion-transformer) and very revealing.The original C's are two sets of...

[quote user="Brian Clark"] I have some ZVN0545A mosfets here for exactly that purpose of replacing cathode followers. You may like to try this starting at 2mA (250V supply, 125k biasing resistor). [/quote]
Brian, and how do you find your MOSFET beha...

I was thinking about it in past. I do not particularly believe too much in point source. We have no vertical resolution by our hearing and if drivers located strictly in a vertical line then in longitude domain they are single point source. Of course...

Here is the signal box:The design is double mono past the VR's. Including the bias.
The coupling caps are Arcotronics KP172 from RS-Online, quite prised by Thorsten Loesch. THey are sitting on
sorbothane pads. The air caps are: 1) 365pF some +/- s...

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...

Thanks Bud!We often underestimate the fundamentally very physical way that sound is produced in our stereo circuits in complex electromechanical ways. I agree with Peter Belt that circuits are affected in ways that can be more adequately explai...

|

Well,I also did this comparison a long while back and found the same result. The thinner the wire, the better for the preservation of the sound. But it is important to recognize that the sound we hear from a something even perfectly repro...

Hmmm... The AA uses Philips Pro 2 mechanical guts. Most of the discs that would not play played fine after I cleaned them. Various cheapo CDs my brother burned for me over many years played fine, and one RVG (Rudy van Gelder) jazz CD would not play ...

Interesting that someone has mentioned Tannoys in context of the upperbass thread. I still wait that someone with sane taste and unadulterated perception of results would load a LF section of Tannoy Red or Silver into a front-loaded 70Hz -80Hz horn a...

The thing is, none of these parts are "homemade" (or, VERY few of them are...), rather they are made by people/companies who are all about "manufacturing". It's said that copper just doesn't lend itself to machining or bending (manufacturing), and it...

My objectives when I wrote my initial post were not to knock the Herb Reichert’s design ideas but to demonstrate that DSET topology make most of Reichert’s views not applicable or even irrelevant. So, my post was not against Herb but rather to advanc...

Hi Paul,Completely agreed - I clumsily said plugs, when I meant spades - was simultaneously looking at some proper lemo plugs for signal and got confused.... Bananas, esp. for big hog woofers are - well - exactly that.I've also used the technique you...
