Any manufacturer can submit a photo and marketing information to 6 Moons. There is no charge. If it's a nice photo, they'll usually put it on the news page. It doesn't imply that the manufacturer has necessarily invited the editor to visit and has en...

As far as I know much of this development was done using the original S2's. With the mid horn he's using, perhaps both the old & new ones need some augmentation that they wouldn't need via a shorter tractrix. However, I don't think Kevin is convi...

No, I'm afraid not. I think the upperbass is perhaps some new production (Mike Harvey) 15" Vitavox Alnico item and I think there is a TAD unit behind the brass trumpet but I don't know which one. You'd need to ask. I think there are various options...

Not this year they won't be, that show is in September.Romy, Kevin at Living Voice has been using 'your' S2 since 1992. I understand these speakers have the first of the new Mike Harvey S2's fitted.I'm not sure what the thinking is behind the con...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I know at least 3-4 other people who very much like me bough in the Koetsu hype and bought the top of the line Koetsu needles. All of them hate it. The point that I try to make is that if the vintage Koetsu were so good th...

In reply Paul,
My original post specifically mentioned that my comments perhaps did not apply to you. I am well aware from reading many of your posts that you have reached a level of maturuty and experience to be able to identify nuances(vecto...

I was in my car the other night and switched to a local calassical radio station and a piece was playing. I suddenly became emotionally involved with the music even though the car radio system could easily be described as crap. It was Dittersdorf...

3MBS tell me that they cuurently do not know which bit rate is going to be used in their digital broadcast. They have a contract with another company which decides on how much bandwith is allocated. They are pushing for a high bandwith because th...

Understood. Thank you as always for the technical info.
I mentioned the DAB+ becasue the ABC are spending all their time and money implementing digital. 1st July is the start. You might glean some info on perceived quality of this format if re...

Hi romy,
I am sorry I will not be much help regarding sound quality of FM at present. I do not currently record but hope to do so in the future. My FM stereo reception is poor but this is mostly to do with my aerial. I also live in a d...

I live in Australia and listen to this radio station every day. A liitle more info.
The website has the program listed for Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday and Future dates.
I also listened to the Mozart 100 and found it to be very educational. ...

Driving an 801 or 10Y with another DHT would be tricky. The driver stage would need a Zout of <400 ohms. A 2A3 might do it via a step down interstage although making a good interstage that'll handle 60mA will be difficult. A 45 at near maximum rat...
|
|
guy, i noticed you've mentioned a DHT 10Y linestage.i'm wondering what are your thoughts if there is a relatively easily obtainable (in say lifetime quantities:)) DHT (or triode stripped DHP or DH tetrode a la 307A or 807) capable of d...

Maybe it has been referred to previously here but this Kemp regenerator has the facility to change the waveform shape by adding third harmonics.http://www.kempelektroniks.nl/Power-Regenerators/Power-Station-75.aspxIt'd certainly be interesting t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
For instance the 2A3 has no tungsten cathodes and therefore its cathode might be “poisoned” in time if it was not properly pre-burned and some other methods were not taken care. Those methods are expensive but they ...

Hi Romy, IMO, the reason for you to get that feeling is that from the beginning they were made to read data and not audio, thus some jitter was (and is) not considered an issue, as soon as it can be corrected.The internal CD drive audio o...

Don't take the 'soul' comment too seriously. I just needed a heading! I haven't tried enough of the other DHT options to know whether there are better alternatives within that family. However, it has been my experience to date, that carefu...

112-71-300B works for me although I sometimes use some 845 PP amps for the lower frequencies.[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/murrayjohnson/e96aaf9e.jpg[/IMG]...

Visiting the Paris Hifi Show a couple of times in the late 80's I saw a turntable with a heavy platter floating in a bath of exposed!!! mercury. The people running the demo did not look well (grey pallor, lacking hair) and looked even worse the secon...

I never did see or hear one of these but I'd be interested to know how constant they were able to make it.

Ok I won’t ask anymore questions until I can afford a Lamm.

Hi
I’m planning to build the Melquiades. Owning something that is better then a Lamm is definitely something for me.
Having 220V 50Hz. What changes are necessary in schematic?
Bigger PSU caps, inductors?...

Is it true that they were only made at one factory and are not made any longer?I realise that not many people are using them (either manufacturers or DIY people) but presumably there are large stocks lying somewhere?...

...sorry Paul. The ref to the M4 (alc) puts things into better perspective. However, please note that in numbers it's about ½ the size of a cd. This means that there is only ½ as much information ref the music being stored. Maybe Mr Philips wishes to...
