There is a lot of noise around "NUFORCE" class D amps on the net. Their 100W integrated should be only 1K$ over your budget;0) I didn't have much luck with tripath based amps ,but this one is designed by some missile black science guru so maybe it is...

It took some work, but I finally got a new phono stage (K&K) and a Bent TAP (transformer-based volume control) installed, along with some new cartridge clips (ugh!), and I put the "new system" through its paces Saturday and Sunday. I a...

[quote user="be"]Gregm, you wrote: "Yet, the best result -- i.e. most homogeneous sonically -- came from the thinner wires in interconnects."Did you use silver wire for your comparison?[/quote]I used copper in my example above. Later on, I received r...

Robert, G10 has no special damping properties that I detected. In fact it is some kind of plastic feeling material. It is “filament glass cloth material with an epoxy resin binder”.

Romy, I think I didn't explain myself very well. I was agreeing with you, and still do. I posted the Chris Widmer link to show that the same fanaticism is going on, but even more so, from the thread two years ago which you posted th...

I presume that whoever read this thread have gone over my comments about the Sound of the former PurePower 1050, particulary my comments about the PurePower’s “Super Texture” at the page #5 of this thread. This controversial “Super Texture” was my ma...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]That is a whole point: the shape of the sinusoid and consequential harmonic distortions are not being the decisive factor that responsible for better sound. It is sad that neither PP owners nor we the users after years of u...

Well, I was there, which is more than The Cat can say. In fact, The Cat never heard a complete WE system first hand, so I'll have to take that into advisement when the expected foaming-at-the-whiskers rant.I always wonder why people would giv...

I can’t stress now much I am fallen in love with my new PP2000. I was playing it today all day and can’t not see any single thing that I would bitch. I perhaps is missing too much the sound of proper electricity but my feeling is that the new uni...

I see, this is typical UPS unit. It would be interesting to see the actual wave shape from this unit. Do you have a scope? Mind you that the Pure Sinewave that they specific in UPS is not the true Sinewave in audio understanding. The 10% of Harmonic ...

It could be my mistake or poor taste, but sometimes PA systems sound very good to me. There was one in a toilette of a restaurant playing some classical music that made me almost angry, like, how is it possible to have such a decent sound so simp...

Again, I do not agree with all notion of Rubber sound that Haralanov seeded. I can not speak what was in the situation that “be” described and 400Hz crossover. I do have the 8” version of 25W driver (I think it is 21W) and my feeling that it sou...

Fuses are seldom used in modern installations, but they are still widely available. "Better" breakers are also available from commercial suppliers, for whatever they're worth. It is true that "regular" breakers "soften" over time, and also in hot wea...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...

Andy, when I said I am not set up to exploit internet "music", I meant just that; I cannot and therefore did not run your samples through my main payback system, although even that might or might not have done justice to your samp...

The PP2000, eventually(!!!!), demonstrated something that I was looking for long time. Years after year I read and listen comments of different audio people when they describe benefits of different power treatment devises and year after year th...

This is very interesting subject that gave me a lot of head ache until I figured the things out.
It is known that I have aversion to ground that comes with mains. It is very dirty, so a few years back I drove 15 feet copper poll in pretreated backya...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not see the connection between the shapes of sinusoids as sound. When I have an “another” type of sinusoid shape I do not feed the system with different shape but with different methods of construction of sinusoids.[/...

I played the full system today driven from Avicenna possessor. It was interesting and in way different. The full system (Milq + digital front ends) draw 685W from Avicenna in buffer mode and 800W from the wall, so the efficiency was very good f...

A site visitor pointed me out to German company: Sound Performance Lab that does an interesting Equalizer. I never hear it but it might be interesting to try. It does not have all features that I would like to have bit it is a good start. I wond...

There is a quy somewhere in the hole between Boson and California. He runs Audiofederation site, sells audio gear, is trying to make waves and to catch in the waves a damn customer who would buy audio gear from him. He also use make good pictures...

Took today my first new sauna. Yes, I agree that music is not working with sauna. I however am not sure if no sound at all can’t be used in sauna. I think some kind of new-edgy elevator music with a lot of LF might work quite well. Not that I am look...

I have been using my new sauna for a week and here are the observations that I came across so far. It is all depend of the conditions. If the sauna has temperature under 200-210 Fahrenheit and humidity around 10% then sound is tolerable in there. I w...

Nice unit but truly nothing special. The reality is that there are huge amount of online double conversion units out there use for medical, information and many other industries. Unfortunately none of them are made or tested for audio. It is not tha...
