I'm a physicist actually :-) I'm denying modern physics every day. Not to deny the string theory one must be a complete idiot: 1+2+3+4+....=-1/12!!!I've made a stupid mistake and decomposed my EMT for cleaning and now, in big painsand with a help of ...

N-set, I have not tried the AN connectors. And I think the cited "metalurgical problems" relate to ease and speed (and so, cost...) of immediately available, outsourced manufacturing rather than use of the metals.FWIW, the WBT Next-Gen Ag connectors...

Well, if cost if no object, why not put everything on those cool SRA stands? Besides, Mike probably uses the most affordable version, anyway...Of course those will not in any case address all sonic intrusions, which include not only structural ...

[quote user="drdna"]Okay, today I hooked it up and have spend some time listening. The change in my system was very dramatic and positive. First of all, it seems suddenly like a good electricity day. The noise floor dropped out. The timbre of the mus...

Using the PP2000 has been a very interesting experience. Immediately listening I am NOT struck that it is the most wonderful improvement ever, which I have said before is a GOOD sign. Usually the seductive sound changes are colorations that are enj...

[quote user="Paul S"]"Success" equals better except for added hum?[/quote] Well, I am sure I can get rid of the hum, so then it will be all good. In fact, I know I can do that just be unplugging the PP2000. That is not an optimal solution of course.

I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever get the new listening room checked out electrically and the new system ground installed, etc., but I finished this work yesterday, including a soldered-rather-than-clamped ground wire-to-rod connection. ...

We are so overly familiar with the music of the Romantic era (and to a lesser extent with some 20th century orchestral music) that we tend to overestimate the importance of dynamics overall in music and in listening. Obviously, abrupt and frequent dy...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The parallelness of the axis is necessary not because it create the “parallel sound” but because drivers have dimensions. Because the diameter of the drivers the arrival between the side and the middle of the cone is diffe...

[quote user="Paul S"]For a while there, every system change I made that "improved" the sound also limited my musical choices. But the most recent round of changes has had the opposite effect, much to my delight, and I have been amazed by how well gre...

It can be a bit difficult to get across the full breadth of one's meaning. I had a few perspectives in mind when i wrote the last paragraph, one being the (i don't want to sound too pretentious, but for lack of a better word) enlightened audio...

Anyone familiar with these? http://www.vertexaq.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/ I heard a demo @ RMAF; without, with, without again... Very effective. In that place, At that time, with that system, etc. Part ...

As I promised, I am informing about the fate of the Baby Melquiades project. The Baby Melquiades was armed for few days with new 60H transformer. The result was not positive. It sounded OK but it was not even close to the Melquiades sound. I wa...

Here's a decent attempt to boil down basic "ground" issues. Generally speaking, according to best practices, grounding one's hi-fi is a systematic attempt to equalize the ground potential throughout the system at "zero". Again, phono stages are harde...

This weekend I decide to take my FM where it should be. I ran ~125” and installed a dipole on the roof of my building and serviced my tuner. The result was as expected but there was something unexpected. Along with all normal benefits of better anten...

A bit of the background. Before acquiring the PP, the whole system had been moved from it's previous location in Gdansk to a new one in Warsaw. New, busy city, new apartment, new electricity. Straight after the move and connected to the new house...

Sorry for posting a bit of kindergarten trivialities but maybe someone without a dedicated line yet will find it motivating.I've finally connected my dedicated lines which took me ages. The lines are connected right behind the power meterand have the...

It is the second Romy, the noise is always present. There was always a little noise but when I had a soundsmith strain gauge system arrive, I was expecting not to have any noise. It is a hum free device. When I installed it thought, there was a buzz....

Paul. GSC = goodsoundclub I have worked with Richard (pure power owner) and i know the problems of customers but i think paypal is a good way to shop from Richard. Ask Richard to send you video from the unit before paying to him. Recently 3 or 4 pure...

Romy,
No, the DAC was not set at maximum level (for best sound) while Cyrille listening to the system. It was set at normal volume for the whole system. When Cyrille dropped by, I was showing him the Field Coil open baffle speaker system which con...

I do not know what is meant by “close bottom” or “open bottomless”-- please expound?I do not know of importance of enemys death to this topic. There is a long thread in the subwoofer section of "devil audio" about tapped horns. John mentioned gettin...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The concept of self-testing boot cycle is nice one but it for sure could not be done during the amp booting. Some tubes do need to warm up and reach the cruse temperature in order to be tested, some do not. Some tunes (lik...

Well, I remember being "astounded" years ago by Crown's "DC" amps' LF capabilities with an ever-widening range of LF "tasks". More recently, I was "impressed" by plate-amp-driven subs at THE show. I haven't gotten to ULF with my system yet, but I p...

The following reflects the current state of my understanding, and in some cases, my opinion... I welcome and very much value other points of view.Max, regarding B&W and Color : Actually we do agree here ; I did not write (nor mean to suggest) tha...

Haralanov, it had to say, I think it would be all depends how he use that MF driver. Do not forget that this MF driver, I still insist to call it Lowther has very extended HF. That is different type of HF that is coming from “cigarette filter paper”....

Many years gone now, I have tried to keep in mind the sound of live acoustic instruments and voices as I tuned my hi-fi system, as it and I have evolved. So far it seems that there are an infinite number of ways to "move closer" to a constantly...

Guy, here some unconnected comments that you might find worth considering. They are in no order or importance, just random thoughts.

I have seen Beyma rewrite their specs when they redo a driver and even add a letter to the driver for that change, even if it is the same driver.Now I have seen variable FS responses form different drivers of the same model also. I was joking with a...
