This weekend I discover interesting phenomena on which I did not pay attention before. The Montrealian Charles Dutoit conducted this weekend Boston symphony. I was listening the broadcast, recording it as usually. It was very bad. The BSO wind sectio...

I do not blame John Atkinson specifically. He is not better or worse than any other his idiot-colleges. Take a look the level of the moronity this time John Atkinson allows himself to fell. In his “review” of Lamm M2.1:

I was laying in bed, fighting with aftermath of a nasty flue, reading. The always “on” Rohde & Schwarz tuner was getting WHRB. The Macondo was up at 3 clicks very softly filing the room with WHRB’s “Cello Challenge” and “20th Century Brass Concer...

[quote user="jp"]In my experimentations, the da924 doesnt contribute much noise in my setup. Rather in my setup its the lavry ad122 thats the trouble maker. When all digital is turned off I have a very quiet background. Here are my observations...

Since I installed the 3 of PP2000 units they do work wonderfully. Since my days 2-3 years back when a turn of power switch on PP1500 required to dress in bomb-squad outfit and when any switching might be the very last switching, I kind of have th...

I asked Romy the following question:
I'm contacting you because I own a Pacific Microsonics Two that I'm planning on using to playback high resolution digital files. I'm now in the process of choosing a platform, card and playing software. I k...

If you read my site or talk to me then you know that I am very much not a proponent to dummy idea of balancing specific problems of playback system by using specific complimentary cables. I always tend to use individually neutral components with ...

First of all I had a good conversation with Lynx people. Pacific is very well known to them unit and many of their customers use it. They suggested as the most typical application for their customers to slave Lynx from Pacific in A/D mode and to ...

The Boston FM radio and my Sansui TU-X1 tuner gave another magnificent treat - a whole weekend of Bruno Walter music. I always liked Bruno Walter, although he never was my “buy on spot” conductor. Performances of some conductor (for instance Sc...

I might be not “getting” what you are doing but it looks to
me that it is not near close to “CEC TL0X vs Berkeley Alpha”. The Berkeley
Alpha is just an interface to get stream of DAW but CEC TL0X is digital transport. We have no idea what kind dat...

There are a lot of talking nowadays among audio people about music servers and about the ripping the people’s CDs to music servers and playing from there. I always feel that it a dummy thing to do. People claim that besides the “convenience” there ar...

Ok, yesterday I have done my dedicated lines, well my electrician did it but I guess I will take all credit for it and he just get my check. I have right behind my rack with PP3000 and power measuring equipment, on the wall 3 groups of receptacle...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]What are my plans for 2011? I have a few. I am sure that I will be working with fine refinement of Macondo in the new room. I look forward to review the Macondo Fundamental Channel, will it be my new 18-cell or not I do...

Thanks, Tommy it might be very interesting. The player looks like it has 3-tube output stage and I wonder it is possible to run unit this all time on but to shut down juts the tube section?
Also, beside all typical curiosity regarding sound of that...

[quote user="item"] For future reference, in case anyone else is as confused as I am about the content of this thread; from the horse's mouth: the Item DAT1 could just about be considered a 'DAW' (the SPDIF version records analog, and you can run...

It is astonishing: what “scooter” wrote in his “Ultra box” post above is what I would write myself.
Anyhow, Charlus when you wrote about “single DAC possessing virtues entirely harmonious with all three sources” then I very much understand wh...

Today is a first day since we moved to the new house last June
when a local audio guy comes on over to do some listening as I feel that the
room and playback setup is over. It is kind of important to me to have this introvertial

Looking what we do with our players, transports, A/D processors, D/D processors , D/A processors, externals clocks, cables, mass storages I find that it is all so bogus and so irrational. To my surprise I do not see anybody does what I wo...

[quote user="Lx_"]The effects on sound can be described either globally or in details. Globally the music flows less, the sense of musical phrasing is diminished, sound tends to tighten, feel constricted, dynamics are also reduced. When trying to...
