It was a bit tricky to make it works. The Schwarz original crystal is imposable to get and the new one that I got from ICMC had different internal capacitance, so I was forced to shut them with additional inductance to let the oscillators to fire up ...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

Hi Romy,Probably my evaluation methods are still quite moronic, but I think I'm learning to listen to what matters in the music. I had some experiences with a friend using several caps in a preamp he built, and also in the integrated I'm using. I und...

Just how important are subharmonics and undertones in audio, and how they affect tone? I played around for a while with the Townshend supertweeters, this is a ribbon tweeter that you can barely listen to: you plug it in and put it next to your...

Jarek,
Thank you for your input. This is nice to have a somehow a list of good connectors.
Today I found Wireworld Pro Audio[1] sell "Silver-clad OFC" connectors (they call plugs). I n...

T,
I would like to ask you a question. Understanding that amorphous core material comes in many types still, if to generalize it them might I propose an observation that beside all amorphous sonic and technical advantage (presumably they exist) the ...

Finally, it has happened. Sound. Two weeks ago I had a couple of mates help me carry up and install the first DSET on its pedestal on the horn stack. It was quite a bit of effort and three were definitely required for the heavy but delicate operat...

Wojtek, a preamp should care absolute transparency not because I said it or have warren somewhere within my site but because it just makes sense, doesn’t it? I undusted what you ask but I also undusted why you asked it. The key is that you do not und...

I have heard hundreds and hundreds of audio systems and mine is by far the best. Honestly nothing even comes close. There is a scientific reason for this. MY system starts with a PERFECTLY tuned room...something overlooked by ma...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Some of you who follow my site know about the coming Macondo 7th Channel. The inventor of the concept is Russian audioalogist. Considering a great novelty and a lot of controversy in the subject I would be interested to sit...

The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...

An email from a visitor:
"I read with interest your views on Linnmann's "preview" of the CEC TL0x. Funnily enough, this "preview" has been around for a while (late 2005), and the full review is still (eagerly?) awaited as of early March 2006.&...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I heard 4 (!!!!) complete contradictory descriptions how high level of jitter manifest itself subjectively – interesting that they all derived from the engineers whose credibility is very high (not juts the audio-tweaker...

Hi Anthony,
trying to copy a known good solution - too little time for experiments recently.[/quote]Well, Romy had great results with the Placette and his Dannoys, so that is the known good solution as far as I am con...

The Western Electric L-9 in Munich was/is an infinite baffle design. The 754B woofers are in a sealed enclosure with a front horn. There is no possibility of cancellation between front wave and back wave of speaker, so I wouldn't call it an "open baf...

I looked at the schematic for Herb's 300B SET many years ago. It's been copied and slightly modified by many.... personally, I would not use it for a 300B amp... then again I probably wouldn't use it for a 2A3 or 45 either (I think my input/driver d...

Hi Thorsten,
I understand what you are saying and with regard to the particular preamp in question and you may well be right as there is no mention by the manufacturer what brand of autoformers are in use (or if they roll their own). I am curi...

In the time of silver photography, when we shoot on E6 film, we use grayscales on the first image to let the print shops to correct chromic aberration of film, development or lighting. Looking at the amount of BS the today is going on with high-r...

I like to read such "reviews", I read them for 17 years now and it impresses me really, that in combination with the "perfect medium" a sonic revolution is fact. Monthly. When it is true, digital reproduction is probably now 34 time...

The main "technique" I use in "problem solving" involves a sort of Hegelian turning and re-turning of/to the object of attention (or, my perspective...) to get as many "views" of the object as possible. This sort of reflection has recently broug...

Folks, This thread caught my attention, because here Romy waxes lyrically about the failings of the Denon Cartridges. Now I only consider ONE Denon worth bothering, the ORIGINAL 103, it is often inaccuratly called 103C. It has a medium compliance (ar...

[quote user="slack key"] As for audio problems, you are correct, I really have to sit back and think about what to do. Sure I want to improve what is now lacking.... soundstage, imaging and depth. As for the sound, of course, I like the sound o...

I already wrote a few times at my site about 6C18C. Search if you are interested.

If you use the 6C33C for amplification or regulation then you would hardly avoid attention to 6C18C. It w...
