[quote user="Telstar"] Out of curiosity, how much does a Bidat costs nowadays and the Wright mods?[/quote]
This is very interesting question and I had a conversation with John Wright about it a few days ago. He asked me the same question: what the B...

Ok, here is the link: http://www.bso.org/brands/tanglewood/press/press-releases/archived-press-releases/051231/tanglewood-75-downloads.aspxOffer to public free in MP3 128 kbps formats. Both 320 kbps MP3 and 24bit 44.1kHz FLAC versions will be availab...

Trying to gather and get my thoughts in order, in order to share them, I just remembered a recent mod that John Wright happened to mention specifically. While I believe John regards - and guards - as proprietary his ideas for reworking this gear, I a...

Being both fairly lazy and fairly cheap with respect to audio, I remain very interested in theFR SET/dynamic speaker dream. Also, I am generally both weary and wary of the extreme complexity/difficulty engendered/entailed by othe...

ML2 is also making me hear my modified AI M3A pre-amp, not to mention I guess I could now benefit from all shielded cables. All this stuff was fine with the Wright 2A3s. Speakers: I built a version of Dick Olsher's 3-way Diamond...

Romy,
Air core is ok, but. 1. Self inductance in an unmitigated field clumps. You can easily see this by unwinding a hockey puck style air core inductor and measuring the inductance with each turn removed. Never will you have the smooth loss of indu...

I believe that the Arum Cantus is typical of most ribbons in mirroring one of the principal failings of MC cartridges, a rising top end (over 20k), although I have not actually heard this - at all - with my own small Arum Cantus, and I just go n...

I know there is no reason to describe my view about high end audio but i do not know why i am interested to do that in this forum.I think we could categorize audio systems in 3 level.Level 1 is a system that make you sad in long listening session bec...

Form email I got from John Wright
“PS, In case you care, the Bidat gets better all the time with fresh updates ….I mean it will sound broken in comparison. I have made some very good changes to the power supply and the output stage that ...

Hi Romy,
I did the review on the AcousticPlan amp, called the "Santor". It is indeed a two-stage amp using 4 6922 tubes in parallel to drive a high Bias Mosfet output stage (it is class A to approximately 15 watts and runs very hot). It ...

The iDAT-44+ just got back from a visit with its dad, John Wright, to repair an intermittant fault and to work his current round of "upgrades" to the sound. Also, over the course of re-integrating the fixed and improved iDAT, I re-thought the way I ...

Hi Romy, I recently heard the smallest Cessaro and while I felt that the bass was not adequate for long term satisfaction it was also not a total disaster. From the midbass on up; however, the speaker is simply superb and one of the very best h...

[quote user="Vance"] Romy, it takes several months for those blackgate caps to fully calm down…. [/quote]
Actually I take more like several decades and then 5 years after you each time shut down the unit for 5 minutes. I am known to be not a huge fu...

I have recently acquired a pair of (2000 vintage, I think) Lamm ML2s and would like to share impressions and development strategies with other ML2 owners, including former owners, and perhaps I may learn from any pertinent experience.

[quote user="drdna"]Romy,
I believe the cartridges are manufactured form Decca by JS Wright in London.
The suspension is less of an issue since the Decca cartridges use a novel transducer. There is no cantilever. The stylus connects di...

Continuing to harass the readers of my site and myself with the good news about the performance of my SA8535 driver I would like to post a very educational article about the subject. As I told before, being familiar with sound of ribbons then never i...

The "Super

The Bidat was originally designed with 3 separate crystal-based voltage controlled
oscillators. This was unique because we had the crystals specially made to be
