Good news for audiophiles Cessaro new speaker is active and all Components like DAC DSP Pre and Power are in the new cessaro ported DSP loudspeaker.You just need a transport like cheap LG Samsung to play Ultra high end Sound ??https://www.cessaro.de/...

The lower bass configuration in my room is a bit interesting below is the bass diagram (under 50Hz)
As you can see the allocation of hot bass sports is superbly favorable in the room. There is pretty much no bass anywhere in the ...

A site reader sent me email that Elusive Dicks announced a new 22 records box-set with MTT doing 9 Mahler Symphonies. The recordings are all live in Davies Symphony Hall from '01-'09. They claim that it will be only 1000 individually numbered sets p...

So are we trying to decide how it should be done so we can roll our own? Because I was simply amazed years ago by the little Sony "Pro Walkman" tape recorder, which could literally create and play back material that was sonically better th...

Romy, As you have noted elsewhere, SACD was originally a multibit high sample rate format. I believe Sony went to one bit for "security" reasons to prevent copying. I didn't think the one bit idea originated with Meitner but came from Sony execs. I t...

During the holiday season we had wonderful programming from Scandinavia thanks to Internet radio. The Scandinavians have a wonderful tradition with choral music and especially the tunes around christmastime are very enjoyable with some very excellent...

Gera, what sort of active X/O are you using there, for what sort of music/expectations? Doesn't your X/O have a buffer already? There are plenty of pro solutions that combine the X/O with pre-amp functions, including the ability to drive long IC runs...

No one else posted this, so I'll take one for the Team by mentioning Fremer's May 2012 Analog Corner article in Stereophile. Apparently, Fremer has gotten at least two high-dollar Lyra cartridges with indifferent stylus-to-cantilever mounting. I co...

Well, some say, he loves reading those postings, others think he raped his grandma or (and) will be responsible for the next earthquake in California, some bet he was a member of the well known German Anonymous Audiophile Alcoholics and left them bec...

Here is there the “crazy” Stitch bitching about the “The Foolishness of Analog People” and about new turntables/arms the Morons invent each month. Those new turntables/arms are somewhere at borderline between absurdity and retardation and to their be...

With new MF amplification and change of Macondo reconfiguration I found myself to play a lot of analog lately. In addition to anything else I kind of interested in getting the “new” Macondo’s imaging pattern and LPs are the best tool to do it. With ...

What really pisses me off is that my second arm/cartridge has a very strange effect that I did not see neither in this arm (Micro 282) not in this cartridge (Ortofon SPU Classic). I am taking about dynamic compression. In fact it is very seldom you c...

How can we compare anything if we know from the very first note what media is being used? The noise floor and sonic artifacts are unique to each media, so are we talking about confirmation bias? Let us assume that we have a first generation analog ma...

Depending on the UseCase, many things can influence the sound. Rectifiers, snubbers, impedance, corner frequency, speed, an inductor in series, regulation, isolation from the mains grid all are parameters to consider.I do not know of any really serio...

Thanks for information, Gordon I am a skeptic about this DAB+. Whatever amount of kBits they select it will be still digitally compressed format. So, it will be one of the versions of our HD format. I presume it will be better then HD but I down tha...

I think this has not typically been used for FM, but it is my understanding that some FM stations used to use something like this to monitor their own broadcasts.Who knows how it has changed over the years, with digital, satellite and cable broadcast...

[quote user="peter foster"] 3) I have been swapping DACs in and out of the chain to compare results. When using my Lavry DAC there definitely is additional background noise. This is unexpected and annoying. [/quote] Peter, I am very convinced that th...

[quote user="hagtech"] Please do. I have interest in the result myself and don't mind spending the time. I can post photos for each tube. [/quote]
Sure, let do it. Email me your address and I will send them to you. (Do you have sockets?)...

Yes , the idea of time delay machine is completely clear now . I made some experiments with analog and digital parts of the circuit , ewerything OK , and I need to assemble all the parts together , but now I am finishing the new hybrid class A amp - ...

but you have just +/- described an approach to cooty fighting that is already pretty popular with the tech-ies out there. This general idea is the basis for some very sophistocated attempts to quiet lines used for lab equipment, including ...

PaulSince we all have different ears I can only give my preferences as anyone else would. Also I don't know your tastes well enough to be confident you would feel as I do. Caveats aside, I have the versions by Walter, Karajan, v.Matacic. Typically v ...

Sorry if this is a trivial question already answered somewhere.I have just finished installing 3 dedicated lines for analog source, digital and power amps.They run directly from the house power meter, with a dedicated subpanel, each individually fuse...

I listened to Purepower 3000 we finally got it in iran.it is wonderful , new level of dynamics , far better than direct utility.I have a question about pp3000 if you had it in a ultra transparent system.our system is not ultimate in transparency and ...

i checked out this product from your link(thanks).for digital inputs they show aes,spdif,toslink and bada,which i understand is for use with the rr hrx 24/176?.also there is no clear indication that the attenuation is achieved in the digital domain.t...

Romy, you mentioned the output separately and John Wright also puts great emphasis on what he calls the "analog" part of the DAC. I haven't even taken the cover off the thing yet, but the way the power supply is implemented is so simple, i...

I tried for a few years - many years ago - to put together a tape-based system. The prices kept going up on equipment and recorded tape, and program kept getting more scarce, until the "secondary market" kicked in. These were the "Bait and Switch" ...

I've been kicking around the Stupid and Lazy Version of this for some time, where one simply runs two different, "characteristic-[un]matched" drivers on the same frequency band. Oops... So, why not the same drivers pushed by the same amps that a...

While the aftermath of the midbass horn project is not over I am strategizing how I might implement Macondo’s LF section. The leading idea is to bolt a triangular shape sealed enclosure juts behind the small wall that cover the load bearing beam from...

Romy,
Thank you for sharing the link!
The second part is better!

We only use the Beringher for bass under 100 hz, driven by the main amp.
We tried a lot of different solutions, including analog active xovers, the DCX is cl...

Too lazy to research it and, rather than mentally invent new technology, I keep thinking, "cutter heads", like the old, analog "lathes" that cut the metal masters. This has to take some real force, perhaps analagous to a speaker coil, and I diml...
