I suspect Mr. Fremer is not all that well respected here, but I found his article on using a USB microscope to adjust VTA/SRA very helpful. I was never able to set VTA by ear. http://www.analogplanet.com/content/how-use-usb-digital-microscope-set-9...

For the last couple weeks I have been enjoying the Stanislav Skrowaczewski’s Bruckner. I got a box set with all 11 symphonies with Deutsche Radio Philharmonic and it is very pliant. Now it is not the best Bruckner I heard and Saarbrücken Radio Philh...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Amy the Kitten is amazing. [/quote]Well, those two events had happened today for a first time. Today I for a first time committed adultery to my wife by sleeping not with her but with a box set of records. I just woke up hu...

Hi!The cuts are from a bonus disc that came with EMIs "Centenary Edition - 100 Years of Great Music", a 10 CD set issued in 1997. Each CD was dedicated to a decade long span, beginning with 1897-1907.I bought the set when it came out, and I...

[quote user="noviygera"] This is an interesting
concept but What does it mean to "load" and "idle" SET and
how is this accomplished without changing the speaker it's driving? [/quote]
The "loading" and "idling" in SET is

Hi,Every so often, someone contacts me and asks for some information about my plans (presently on hold) to build Melquiades Full-Range or D-Set, and whether I have a list of parts etc. My experience of trying to find a builder for Melquiades has not ...

[quote user="Murataltuev"] I understand all
disadvantages going digital.
I strongly believe that minimal influence to the signal is the most important
aspect. And influences in digital domain are usually terrible. But I'm not sure

Surely with 92/93dB sensitivity you are out of SET loop and I have no idea what you were listening over your last 12 years. To drive 92/93dB you need at least 50-70W SET, unless you built your listening room in a large “Sub-zero” refrigerator. Paul, ...

Hi Romy, I just received as a birthday gift the Barenboim set recorded with EMI in the late 60's. I don't have sufficient experience of the other performers/interpretations you mention to put this set into context. I listened to some Brendel sonatas ...

Ok, none it is time to dive into the practical process of tweeters alignment. Once again I presume that we are taking about monopole tweeters that use AFTER your midranges compression drivers (read my previous post). Some people use term “supertweete...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Topologically and according to all theories the SET is capable to produce dynamic range that is unspeakable for PP, unless some tricks used in PP amps and those tricks have own negative effect to sound. [/quote]I really do ...

Your audiophile buddies must be deaf stitch, the Cessaro room was easily the best at the show, although to be fair there wasn't much competition, Magico sounded as if the sound was being pushed into the speakers, YG wasn't bad, their sealed aluminiu...

I think you know why not $ilver. FWIW, I never had trouble with the set screws in a copper bus. In fact, despite I've seen and heard about trouble with set screws in aluminum buses, I've never had trouble with installations I've done myself. Why d...

Yes, it is imposable to have + 0.4V on the grid, 0.0V at input, with R5 resistor in place and the gas tubes outputting +150V and -150V. My apologies, I meant to say I have minus 4.4v on the grid with the inputs shorted. Then I unshort the ...

OK, understood. If you wish to hear Cessaro, along with some interesting source components and amplification, then Purite Audio is the only place that I'm aware of, and I understand that it's set up quite a bit more like the Definitive Audio thing th...

[quote user="N-set"] I'd avoid granite. It rings. [/quote]Granite rings? I am not a huge fan of granite but ringing us not the character that I would attribute to granite. N-set would you care to elaborate on it and tell how did you come to the ring...

Hi Romy, KR audio is making high power SET and parallel SET amps using tubes designed by them specifically for low frequency amplification (read as in not radio frequencies). They are getting the power with lower voltages and higher currents th...

W,
Be careful with Milq’s LF channel. When you go for a dedicated LF SET and make the SET to operate very low then you need very precisely dial in the loading of your out tube with the behavior of your LF drivers/enclosure. Without know the very spe...

Paul:To build on your thoughts -- I have a sound bar for my TV which manipulates phase so you can pick between the audio seeming to come from a wider source, or from a focused point source. So, for your action movie set it on wide, and for your perio...

N-set, yes, the unwanted capacitance of the big L is potentially a noisy nuisance. Without referring back to your schematic, I wonder if to set/bleed the tank with - a cap - before R/ground, a' l' Axiom? I think this is perhaps the most elegant as...

Romy,Sorry for your disappointing experience. I did e-mail Warren to say a friend had his Shelter cartridge die and to give him a good deal. It may be true that the Decca is not optimal for your tone arm; I am not sure why this would be t...

Hello All;Any idea where I can get an antenna connection for an REL tuner. It appears to be a clear plastic connector with holes in one end and set screws to secure the strands of a 300 ohm dipole antenna with another end that plugs into the back of ...

Romy, I can't tell from what's been written, did you recently try to "perfectly re-create" the original, successful Dannoy/set-up in the original spots in you own listening room, using the same cabinets, electronics, etc., ad nauseum, and you are dis...

Hi Romy,The Vacuumstate amplifier is not a parallel SET it is basically like push pull but with some kind of trick dynamic bias control that keeps the tubes really together. Much of the low level information that gets lost with the usual push p...

The Mravinsky’s and his orchestra trip to Austria in 1960 and this recording of the last 3 Tchaikovsky’s Symphonies are well known. I am sure any of us have a number of Italian pressed box-sets with 3 records of this performance. Yes, the Mravinsky’s...

Damn! Those do look tempting. One that I do know is the Kabasta set, truncated though I think it be from the original 4-disc set. Pity no one's heard of the man, hardly.I'd like to hear from anyone who knows about the others.clark...
