[quote user="rowuk"]Alex, I have a APC RT UPS which is a regenerator and UPS in one. I use it for on site recording as you never know what you get from the wall socket. Dimmed lights, PA and all sorts of other devices like air conditioning and refrig...

Jarek,I would start at the beginning. Turn off and unplug the TT motor, remove the phono cable from the phonostage and use shorting plugs to short the inputs. This takes the TT/cart/arm/cable is out of the equation. Do you still have the humm? If...

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 ...

yes , for reflection of waves the cable length is important , Art U-Byte cable is 2.5m and they do not make under 2.5m cable.

[quote user="rdrysdale"] Romy, the first time that I noticed that the speaker wires are very important to the sound was when Steve put some very expensive audiophile wires in place of our normal magnet wire. I walked into the room while familiar musi...

Here is a snippet from an email from Jonathan Carr (Lyra cartridge designer) about objectives and considerations regarding cartridge loading. Most of this is old news, I only re-post it here as a convenient synopsis on this most misunderstood t...

A bit of the background. Before acquiring the PP, the whole system had been moved from it's previous location in Gdansk to a new one in Warsaw. New, busy city, new apartment, new electricity. Straight after the move and connected to the new house...

[quote user="Paul Costa"]Thanks for your reply.I am in the market for either a new pre-amp or phono and line stage.I know they need around 47k for optimal loading, but what else might I be concerned with.Did you have a look on Agon at the two there.&...

[quote user="Paul S"]fiogf49gjkf0dWe do have a cable thread somewhere on this site that might be better for cable-specific posts. As far as purely electrical "issues", in the end, better sound is still the main consideration. Shielding power lines i...

I’d like to post some information about my own experiences with the new PurePower+ 2000 unit, and the customer service (or lack thereof) experienced under the new regime, so that people can be advised. I ordered and paid for my unit in October last ...

I have absolutely no idea what you people are pissed about
the new MIT’s ACC 268 cables. You need to separate in your heads two separate things.
The MIT new cable as a product and the MIT new cable as a concept.

Armen, your notion that pricy cables might cost nothing and that it is a bad thing is absolutely bogus in my view. I do not have need to argue this point but I think you might view into the subject deeper. Higher cost is paid for assurance to ha...

Adrian, I have not heard this specific cartridge, but the "alive" thing Levi went on and on about certainly rang a Decca bell for me; also the "tweak-y" parts. I do think Levi might have made more of the cable-as-load angle as opposed to painting th...

Over 10 year later, I finally "finished" and installed a shielded version of the above cable for the short run between my phono SUT and my phono stage, replacing the nondescript Placette cables I've been using there all this time. As anyone experien...

Haralanov, I was looking at the subject of Brain Inertia from a slightly different perspective; perhaps I did not clearly express my perspective. The fact of the Brain Inertia is not under question neither from practical nor philosophical points of v...

But why would you consider brass connectors because of 95% of boutique RCA if the idea is to wind up with the best signal path?Probably, you will not use continuous wire from the cartridge coil, and you will probably not solder but use some sort of c...

I think I am correct, but the problem is directly related to loudspeaker impedance. I did the first round of calculations by hand and when I got the results I searched the web for a calculator that someone has made so that I did not have to write it...
