I’d like to post some information about my own experiences with the new PurePower+ 2000 unit, and the customer service (or lack thereof) experienced under the new regime, so that people can be advised. I ordered and paid for my unit in October last ...

It was not so long ago that the Super Milq was a twinkle in Romy's eye,and now it has come to the point he is a strong proponent of DSET (not to be confused with DH-SET). I am always a big believer in the power of topology. I was thinking about...

[quote user="drdna"] I also use the 6SN7-2A3 DHT for my system (except subwoofer). Did you use the Electrocubes for the coupling capacitors? Was the internal wiring regular copper?
The coupling capacitor is critical, of course.
Also, I will say t...

I finally got my hands on PP 3000+. Romy was right wait was worth it. I already have a dedicated power line for my system with a proper earth and I'm using Purist Audio design power cords. But improvement with PP is dramatic. In my opinion it makes ...

Flm,You need to start reading what is already available here. This is not so much of a random blog like many others. We make efforts to stay on subject and have purpose. That means, a change to your system should have a reason that you can clearly de...

Ok the Macondo is all done in new room, including the bass channel. I am uploading the calibration check sheet not as much for you but rather for me. I have been keeping it got years and constantly am loosing it, now I will know where to find it. BTW...

Your comments are quite funny and contrary to the facts. Romy can hear, as I can too, the difference between solid state amplification and tube amplification because his system is properly setup and can resolve all the nuances. The slightest com...

Hi,Have peope heard any of the new generation hybrid amps out there? I have often such miserable power to my home that about half the time it was useless to listen to my SET tube system. I always had a back-up solid-state amp to use when I could...

Putting together a speaker system that ticks all your boxes is a lot like doing anything else well: it is fine to experiment in order to find your range and learn your options but once you choose a path you must stick to it. Chopping and changing i...

I wrote, "When you have knowledge about chassis and their pricing..."when you have no knowledge, then nothing is an indicator of quality in drivers anymore etc. Or when you are a buddy from a manufacturer or even worse, a writer.And what I meant is n...

Coops,there were more than a hundred rooms at that show (including the cabins of the small manufacturers in the ground floor) and I had no other chance than giving many of them just seconds, so I only stayed longer when I liked the sound after these ...

KOTriode, I was not criticizing your DAC, whatever it is. I was saying that system-design-wise if your preamp was able to inflict such a dramatic change in Sound then in my view it just highlighted the problem with DAC. Take another DAC, or any comme...

"So many people today are interested in audio only to make money, or for show, or as one of their many passing hobbies"I occasionally go to the meetings of a recorded music society. A group of maybe 50 mainly older (50+) people gather in one of the l...

Adrian, I was thinking about what you said and I realized that at this point I am actually getting more music from more of my records now than I have done ever before. Yes, I do get "more" when the electricity is nice, but the most wonder...

Dear Sirs,Following Romy's the Cat Youtube series on reverberation injection, I started gathering info and looking for some equipment to start experimenting. I was lucky enough to get a relatively cheap Yamaha DSP-1 in perfect condition from Germany ...

I load my 901 with 42K that behind my transformer that makes it 68R. It’s given that I always tend to load my cartridges slightly harder: have my reasons. I would suggest to load 901 with ~80-90R. The load of 510R suggests that something is tonally/m...

Romy, all this seems to be fairly typical of large-ish listening rooms, along with grotesque lobing and combing. I agree with waiting to use absorbtive treatments until you have a sense of the the system/room's total energy potential, using current ...

ROMY Your analogy of fitting the foot to the shoe is on the right track... Some times you need is a better pair of sox,,,You dont need to change the decorum of the Symphony hall..When you have a shitty orchestra,,, Sometimes rearranging the musicio...

I agree with Adrian. Dont think too much and set the speakers up and start changing from there, you know its going to change again anyway.. In that light it might be even better to start with a standard mdf cabinet to experiment with port configurati...

[quote user="montepilot"]This past weekend I was able to have an extended listen to the revised Melchiades amplifers. My previous listening session left something to be desired with midbass punch and dynamics. Had I not have heard mini me it may no...

|
Bruno,Let me clarify some things. First, I am not making any negative criticism of Bob Robbins or his method. Not having heard a system set up his way, I cannot say anything definite about the results. Also, while I visited Romy twice (in Boston Back...

I agree the dipol is generally a wrong direction for entire speaker system but I thought it a good way to evaluate a specific driver's sound and character. I am I wrong here? The box should only increase the bass range and provide additional damping....
|
|
[quote user="de charlus"]Ok, understood, at least somewhat. Are you suggesting that the S2 operates at the frequencies between 1000hz and 3.6khz? I am not insisting upon using the driver at the frequencies that I was initially suggesting; far fro...

What I'm contemplating is an "audiophile" fuse *before* the PP. I have a dedicated AC line with its own fuse, which I can change easily. Right now there is a good German industrial fuse with silver platted contacts, polished and dielectric grease...

Paul, I guess, I know your headline from somewhere...:-)Well, my System has no German units and that is without any doubts one of my better decisions. No change planned.Romy, to be honest, I lost interest in those super expensive digital units after ...

it seems the computer audio problem is not bit errors and even correct bit-perfect digital data (from computer) does not give us good sound.
the wadax new server (computer) does not use digital processing and it onl...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The answer is very simple: do not listen reproduced music as reproduced music. Also during the evaluations do not listen played or performed music but listen how your inner-you reacts to the core of the musical context. Ev...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"] Folks, in case you care to learn the truth of the matter, AC Polarity is the subject of Chapter 7.5, pages 63-66. Its connection to acoustic polarity is established there too. That Romy should so boldly assert otherwise, l...

One of the things that I picked up in this thread is the fact that if you use 2 PSUs in series, the sound degrades.This is typical of one unit generating common mode noise and this adds to that produced by the second unit.Even if you run them in para...

I did read your earlier post regarding the P300's use and unsuitability for analog in your system.I am starting to listen only in the early morning, and I can hear The Change as the day gets going and I presume people start switching on their ai...
