[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...

OK, I should have done this back when I first thought of it; basically, if I had a tail, I'd wag it: Twisted cotton-wrapped POCC silver and urethane-coated POCC copper with WBT silver Next-Gen connectors; 4 wires/cable; 1 25.5 ga. Cu and 1...

Please do not get the idea that I ever "ruled out" active pre-amps or came to the TAP through some sort of object worship. I really couldn't care less about how the job gets done. Active is fine, as long as the results are there...

I think we know why Purist does not send out refill kits. For the same reason HP and Canon do not send out ink refill kits.
I'm glad to hear about the fumes factoid. I think if I drank the barbecue sauce my body could produce some interesting fume...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] the passive linestages (resistors)tend to be more transparent then active stages but it is only in the case when a passive line stage (attenuator) sits right next to the grid of your input tube. As long as a passive linest...

Folks,It is really amusing. Here I am busy myself for a while and am not looking and suddenly Roman talks about Mini Monitors and secondar phonostages.It is even funnier if you realise taht I am on a similar kick right now, simply because I am workin...

Allo,Thanks for that - I've revisited the relevant portion of the "My playback" section and I have to say, I think I understand a lot more clearly now having a) spent time on this site and b) read the little recap in your post, which is a very cogent...

It might be true that a properly configured Milq will cause you to forget about amps for the foreseeable future, if not forever...but really it is not so simple, especially if you are accustomed to particularly high-performing (unfortunately offensiv...

Yes, sure we can do the experiment, and in fact I too am curious (stayed up until way too late looking for an appropriate recording...) ; it will however only be a test of the "file ripping performance" of iTunes via my Mac and it's associated extern...

I no doubt fall into the category of the 70%. My playback has not been as satisfying as I would like. Many of us do not know where to turn when we hit a brick wall with extracting the best results. The default reaction is to look for a piece of equ...

[quote user="Paul S"]N-set, I don't know much about the theory, but maybe you have focused on "uniform ground potential" while neglecting the effects of EMF? (Not to mention the EXTREME difficuty of maintaining a "single", non-reactive "ground path"...

Perrew,
LCR is not active at all; it is the very same passive EQ as your RC? I think you a bit confused with terminology. The main logical explanation (there are many of them) is that capacitive filtration is very bad one and need to be minimi...

"... and I do not know if 3A/167M is better than anything else and I do not see why the metal socket is necessarily better then plastic – the socket is not the part of the tube."As you know, the 437A is like an on-steroids ECC83, ALL glass built, no ...

I think it needed to be expended what I mean by “new smart layout of the power cables”. What you run a large system than you have many circumstances when power cables cross signal cables. Not only that. The PDO cables are liquid filled and they do no...

Dear Romy, I'm not surprised at your disappointing results as I have experienced the same with a variety of power filtration or generating devices. Your surmise is correct that such devices work much more easily with AV equipment or computers than t...

[quote user="Paul S"]fiogf49gjkf0dOver time I have observed that, in most cases, one quickly turns the corner from "enough' connector mass to suddenly arrive at "too much" connector mass. I started out with a cable clamp like Jessie shows for my 6 g...

There are still room modes to contend with the first starting at about 41Hz.Here is an impedance plot of the left Bass Cannon as seen by the amplifier, so including speaker cable.As you can see I managed to get Fs down to about 44Hz and it turns out ...

Thanks Romy!I went with two tiers as I do not have much space between the speakers and the side walls as I have a 2.5M cabinet on the front wall.I named my amp Koshka as I always felt Koshka made a contribution to the development of the Melquiades an...

I did today some interesting listening. I took my SL-CT470 walkman and plugged it directly into the Baby Milq amp. It was fan. The Baby Milq has no bass now and all together sound kind of screwed but the dynamic capacity of that entire set really imp...

[quote user="steverino"] Sorry for the potentially ignorant question since I do not yet own one. Can't you remove the battery pack from the unit and see what the sound is like? According to the Pure Power web site the battery packs are optional so I ...

It has been 1 year since I started working with the ML2s with all new tubes installed. The ML2s have been, by far, the biggest step I have taken in hi-fi in 45 years, and the "upgrades" I have done since the ML2s have necessarily been in a...

I need to note that the methods that Purist uses are superbly powerful. A few years ago, inspired by what POD does I did number experiments damping cables with liquid. It is astonishing how sound was affected with different liquids. I was running at ...

So, I give up of trying this cable construction experiment. I found some who already did a test with a similar construction and once a higher shielding material was placed it killed the cotton in oil magic, and it sounded like a "regular' shielde...

Steverino, I feel with Bruckner, not like with anybody else, people shall practice holistic approach to listening. It is not juts melodies and sounds of tunes but the whole experience of being who you are exposed to the whole experience of proper pr...

Maybe the low "consumer" cost of FM program material damps the industry's desire to pursue the tuners. It seems like the other media players do have at their roots programming that has been successfully packaged and marketed for sale, not to me...

The horns are painted with final coats. 240 feet of superb 6ga cable laid out to connect the horns (on the picture below). The sand bags sealed. The final bridges on the attic are built. The horns are almost ready to move up. I just need to hang the ...
