I listened today to RCA LM2588, 1962, which turned out to be a rarity: a not-so-well-engineered shaded dog. This album is re-dubs of studio recordings made from 1944 - 1953 (right before Kapell's death). Serge Koussevitzky cond...

Lynn Harrell, cello; James Levine, piano. RCA/Time-Life, 1978; stereo, STL561-2GI am not familiar with Lynn Harrell, but I now aim to correct my lamentable oversight.Here, both Harrell and Levine play individually and ensemble wi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Tim, it is all very interesting and I would like to learn about the Proteus’ inner wire juts for a sake of general education on the subject. However, I would not go for a duplication of what Purist did. Doing it you will s...

Rich,I have been experimenting with true Litz magnet wire (we use it in our transformers occaisionally) and have discovered that you can use discreete amounts of plastic dielectric material, spaced down the length of the wire, to "tune" the dynamic c...

OK here is another take of the same section. This time with the Aesthetix Callisto. I set the Tascam's inputs to "bypass" and used the volume controls on the Callisto to attenuate the signal to about the same level as the previous recording...

[quote user="mem916"] OK, I finally have my sample re-recorded in a format matching your file. Details are the same as before. (I set the Tascam inputs to "bypass" and used the Callisto to attenuate the signal. Levels are the same.) The only chan...

I do not know if it was because economy, because the Japanese events early on this year or because any other reasons but there is a lot of Goto drivers for the last couple months on used market. The prices go down and it looks like nowadays the G...

Well, without any theory or gut feeling to guide us, we are flailing around. So let me tell you what my instincts tell me and you can take it or leave it.I think the main advantage of the EM is reducing flux modulation. There was a post recently by o...

In his latest YouTube,Romy mentioned using my prepro to time align my drivers.I use the Trinnov Altitude 16 prepro which has a total of 20 channels. 16 of the channels have balanced analog outputs and the othe four Channels use the rca and optical sp...

What I heard in your room on Saturday was superb reproduction of what was recorded from 40 Hz. up. This is ideal probably for a recording of a chamber group in a small hall without anybody present. One could hear the hall surroundings which replaced ...

[quote user="gordan"]Roman,I don't think I've ever read your explanation why not 2482? We are all on a holy grail path to find a (somehow) available good compression driver that can go down to almost 200hz in domestic conditions and there are not man...

This weekend a friend of mine visited me to listen my playback and there was a very illustrative occurrence. We listening my audio and everything was like it should be in the program. He was visiting my last time in 2002-2003, before the Macondo was ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I do not think that the fluid is a big deal. I think the fluidness of the isolation is the key, I would use different liquid. In my past I tried silicon and Scotch Whisky and the result was very good. Would it be possible ...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]You may be right. It would perhaps be worthwhile to look into "better" transformers but I am not sure that an advantage can be found over just going RCA to XLR adaptor into the balanced inputs and thereby bypassing the...

Well, I decided it was time to start using some "proper" interconnects between the preamp and DSET's, ordered them and had them delivered. To date I had been using cheap interconnects from the local electronic shop (literally $6) which should be ok...

I used to have a few musician friends and played a little myself, but they were never really interested in audio, they did have a system but no intention to sit in the sweetspot or anything of the sort, we used to go to concerts and they would carry...

Yes you don't want to go over 0 "dBFS" for sure. In fact it is not good to even hit 0 dB from what I have read in an AES paper. Something odd happens when you play it back (I can't remember the details). I shoot for peaks at -2 or -3 dBFS when...

Chris, I do not do “service” to anybody. I said what I said and what I feel
I do not use phenolics in MF and as I understand nether Steve Schell. In fact I do not think that it would be a good choose for MF driver. The carbon fiber from my poi...

[quote user="drdna"] Exactly. Thus, it suggests a ground loop internal to the PP2000, doesn't it? [/quote]
In my view it is highly unlikely as a definition of loop itself implies two contacts to ground and PP2000 has only one. I do not think t...

Hi Dima,Yep, I really think that I get this one right: I never take the time to do any research about it until your posting came. Luckily, I got the clues in less than 15 minutes. If only other things can be like that...About VR tubes stability, now:...

Which 2A3s and other output tubes have you tried so far, and how do they sound and compare in your amp/system?Also, remember that you may have to tweak operating points a little to get the most out of any of the tubes you try.

Okay, I think I understand.... and thanks for the link on the YO-186... if I can ever locate some of these I'll be sure to grab some (hmmm, a trip to Russia perhaps). As tubes get very hot internally, there were some procedures for trying to eliminat...
