Scott, I'm guessing the installation shown in the photo makes lots of LF, but how does it provide balanced, "free air" loads on both sides of the drivers?Best regards,Paul S...

Miab, are you juts selling them of you use then as well? The reason I ask is because if you have too many of them then you might try to make one Balanced Synapses cable from two single ended. I know people tried - I do not know how successful they w...

From Larvy Site:Features like a USB input, programmable settings, infrared remote capability, and the proprietary >PiC< Playback Image Control™ make the DA11 more than just a great sounding DA converter. In keeping with the Lavry Engineering tr...

Just to let you know I will have an opportunity to hear one of them soon. My current player is Metronome T2i Signature which I consider the most balanced, complete and satisfying so far. It will be very interesting to compare it, rest assured I will ...

Romy when you use your transport and DAC how do you connect them. What kind of putputs does the Lavry have, my pre only has xlr ( balanced ) or single ended inputs ,could I use something like the lavry, also do you have a link to pacific microsonics ...

From a technological perspective, these look very interesting. Unfortunately the nearest place i could audition these is Montreal, but it looks to be worth it. Have you heard these, Romy, or are you also impressed with the price/technology ratio?

I did not have time to read the articles carefully, but:"The IDAT’s D/A conversion stage is also unique.""In the IDAT, two DACs per channel are used for each half of the balanced data signal instead of one."...the very idea of balancing DAC's is not ...

Yes, it does look like “wrong” but I do not think that it is an indication of a problem. The bearing would not give you the wobbling that you would be able to see with your eyes. It is also very unlikely that the platter has different high and not b...

Hi Thorsten,
"I agree. I
have to note that even in active preamp I/We (the we are friends from
the London Live DIY Circle) tend to prefer TVC's over resistors."
Hmmm....I guess I can't really see that unless you are enjoying a
particular col...

Many audio publications grand some kind of idiotic rewards: “Product of Year”, “Editor Choose Award”, the “Best Sound at Show, “The Golden Ears” and so on. Trying to stay in the moronic awards-granting crowd I decided to form my own award: I would ca...

Paul, et al, I tend to agree that many DHTs can have a fair amount of AC hum output from an AC filament. In general, I've not found any tricks (like humbucking chokes) to make any significant difference. Ideally, a perfectly balanced AC filament "sh...

Well, my research of the subject leaded me to talk with their distributor. He turned out to be very much clueless and loaded me with a pile of incredible BS. I spoke with the guy at the manufact...

Well to pile up superfluous things into audio components in order to make products more expensive is not alien thing in audio. My question was not about to mock the Raven company. It might be fine TT, I do not know anything about them and I do not p...

Yep, Telstar. The 1547 was use in Sony and Teac CD players and believe the first CD-SACD machines used that chip. I know very little about those chips and have none of my personal experience to deal with all of it. The reasons why I brought it up bec...

Zanon, My playback is nowhere near the state where I might think about the DPoLS, I am trying to set up a very rudimental basic balanced sound in the new room, approximately defining where would be the speakers, what they will be doing and how they w...

Romy, even though code-conscious electricians install your special ground rod for you, they will still in all likelihood want to tie the neutral wires from your dedicated 30A lines back to the ground bus in the breaker box where they get their 30A fe...

I tried yesterday a test sail. It is a single sail that I ran a bit ahead of listening position. The sail is polyester foamy material, hairy and light: 15 years is about 5 ounces. The effect is generally positive and expected but I have to say that...

Let's see if I can magically produce a cd-dvd-preamp-remote volume conntrol-equalizer-wifi-d/a-save stations-and cost under $1000. And it will even tune in TV stations, record them, FM and internet files and even do a/d encoding up to 24/192. Can't b...

I tried a highly modded DEQX on my horns for some time, we did all the time alignment with it, we used 1st order and 4th order xovers and everything in between, we used LeCleach adjustment for bass and all the other drivers we had it sounding for som...

Something I see a lot of in studios is the "distribution amplifier", that joins and splits the audio (and/or "video") signals into any number of channels. I believe I want buffering, but I am not ready to track and impliment the "balanced" configura...
|
|
No question the thing needs a good buffer, anyway, and I would prefer to have it single-ended, just so I don't have to change everything over to balanced to make it work. As far as features, including the number of inputs, why not have a +/-modular,...

Today I listened to a CD dub of early Etta James. Not to speak of the quality of the recording, but it is good enough to hear that Etta sings right up on the mic, and the mic feed is treated to some reverb. I had the volume set at "15", not very lou...

Imagine you buy a cheap professional SS power amp. One of those AB or D class ones which can be bridged to provide 1,5, 2Kw or more. Imagine you feed it with a perfect sinusoidal tone generator set at 60Hz at its signal input, and that you ...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]no mention by the manufacturer what brand of autoformers are in use (or if they roll their own). [/quote]

I don't suppose I get this, either.Why would you ever on the conceptual level opt to NOT have "Full Range" and a "flat frequency response" that covers the whole audible spectrum?Sure, this is easier said (or thought of) than done, it's "complicated",...
