Hi, I am new here and would like to say hi.I am a owner of an ET SU-1 and would like to know what phono stage would go best with it. Would a Lamm LP2 be a good match?Will be using a Dynavector XV1s with it. Thanks in advance...

Romy,A few months ago, iirc, you linked to a Canadian? amplifier which seemed to be made as or perhaps could be applicable for DSET use but I can't find the link. Can you remember where its is (or what it was called)?...

TTH's ?By the way I've heard several 834's not just one. You are right though, I don't particularly care for what I feel is its rather obvious character.No ET magnetics either, hard to find/hear over here. I think a just handful were sold...

Maybe, maybe not although I'd expect it to be unlikely with a Koetsu, Shelter 901 or an SPU at the front! Not unless they are very different cartridges to the samples I've listened to....

The 'Death' phono stage. I like it, it may have legs!...

As most of us know, the answer to Sherlock's pointer is, the dog did nothing in the night-time -- and that was the curious incident. [quote user="morricab"] Romy sez: "I see things differently. My view advocates that playback creates NEW Sound from s...

[quote user="morricab"]It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. Personally, ...

What I find irksome is exactly this: [quote]Hi-Fi
companies and Hi-Fi marketing are lost touch with the nature of sound
reproduction and so deep in disassociation with the means of Real Audio
that they are forced to pull out of ...

Here are my notes on adapters. I am not an engineer so I do not have further explanations readily available but could probably dig them out.1) It is physically impossible to make an RCA male or female with an impedance of 75 Ohms, so all digital RCA ...

[quote user="Merlin"]If there's one thing I hate about internet forums it's people postulating about sounic characteristics and possible failing in equipment they have never heard.[/quote]Quite so. However, the approach here is simply to ask -- it do...

I have a friend who works as an engineer with one of the top two UK producers. I recently visited him and he played me some of the atrocities they had recently been responsible for! He and the producer know perfectly well what the record companies no...

Looking at this set there is no date anywhere on the box, in the booklet or on any of the red labelled gold writing discs. Also I've always found with records of approximately this vintage, if they are in stereo, they tell you about the wonders of it...

I spent some of yesterday listening to the 8th and 9th from this set.
Recorded in mono by RCA in the early 50's I really like these performances. As a bonus the recording quality is good too. Does anyone else know them?...

Hi Jessie.I haven't built anything like the project you are attempting although I have thought about such things. Sadly I don't have the space either! i'd definitely be interested in coming to hear it when its completed & working satisfacto...

It looks promising JD. What ratio of diaphragm area to throat area did you arrive at (for the large horn) & how did you choose it?...

I've read about what Sakuma does (as have many people) I've never listened to, or tried to build any of the amplifiers he publishes schematics for. However, I have made several amplifiers which use interstage transformer coupling and, provided ...

There are many different web fora devoted to audio, sound reproduction and music. People use them to exchange views about all kinds of subjects including specific items of equipment. Unfortunately they are populated by the 'barbarian dirt' who invari...

After post #1 I was wondering how long it would be before post #5 appeared. It did not take long!...
|
|
I suspect that Mr Sakuma might likewise not find much inspiration in your system Romy. I also have suspicions about the real motives for starting this thread but that's another issue!...

Romy. I understand the dilemma. People sometimes lend things to me to listen to them. I like having the opportunity to hear these things and sometimes to broaden my understanding. Publically available or not, I wouldn't express a view unl...

Has anyone had the opportunity to listen to this device and form any impressions?http://www.sound-smith.com/cartridges/sg.htmlI recall that Win Labs made something similar in the late 70's but I never heard one....

The other option is of course "Publish and be damned" the only downside being that people may be less reluctant to lend you things if they are concerned that they can't trust your confidentiality.Romy! you're no better than the magazines you despise!...

Perhaps your man in Seattle is also aware of the worldwide audio moronity. Perhaps he realises that whichever of these two DAC's comes out worst in your little 'shoot out', its reputation and manufacturer may suffer as the morons whisper in an intern...

I'm not sure what relevance the purpose something was created for has to whether it can be used in a serious audio system. As you point out elsewhere there are many products created which are supposedly for serious audio use which are...
|
|
On a secondary point Romy, since when did something have to be designed for serious audio use for it to find an application in a serious audio system? Did teams of Russians sit around listening to and fine tuning the 6C33 before they started ma...

I wasn't presuming that anyone at TAD did make a deliberate choice not to use Neodymium for the magnet on the 703. I am also aware that other TAD drivers do use Neodymium. I was listening to some 4003's quite recently which do just that. I suspect 'B...
