I’m involved now in a VERY interesting project that leads me to ask a strange question: did anyone ever research the subject of those Hi-Fi Mini Systems? What I need is a small source of FM and CD in a one small “comfy” box. I do not need that CD to ...

It took some work, but I finally got a new phono stage (K&K) and a Bent TAP (transformer-based volume control) installed, along with some new cartridge clips (ugh!), and I put the "new system" through its paces Saturday and Sunday. I a...

I kind of feel that I am way off in my familiarity about what is going on with new audio products. My horizon is very restricted with my own needs and with my own interests. I am irregularly read audio publications and irregularly visit some audio si...

I understand that with my desire to have 2-chanals instead of 34.6 channels for my video room I am bit off the bitten path but it is what it is. I am comfortable with what it is and as time goes by I more and more form my objective and my interest in...

A very nice made rack. I do not know if “stupid, indiscriminative mass loading is a road to nowhere”. To me all of the solutions with rack design are road to nowhere. There are many reasons why some of the solutions are better or worse and they all d...

Mani, I did find it was strange that you were getting from insulation transformer better result then from PP2000. They are very different devises with very different results. The difference is like to play a CD from an audio output of a consumer $50 ...

Amir,
I thought there was speculation upthread that the AC mains could introduce some small amount of noise through the ground circuits? Can you run a dedicated ground where you are? I do notice subtle changes on occasion but much less than wi...

OK, guys, let stop to bite my Master and Margarita hook: this thread is not about all of that but about electricity problems. I brought the Master only as an illustration of some ridicules regarding the PP noise. I spent today another hour, trying to...

I can't complain about 2013 audio or music wise. My main system plays my 1000 LPs fine enough for me to enjoy them. Music wise I was able to get about two dozen classical Indian LPs that I had been seeking. I refuse to get them on CD because they sou...

I think they're different things. I have a tubed phono preamp which I've slightly tweaked until it delivers the results I needed. If I had found a SS unit doing the same things for me, I had got it. It's not a matter of tubes being better or wor...

then the idea of amp bypassing is relevant to the "clean signal" discussion. But regardless of the measured voltage out vs. driver sensitivity I suspect that there is too little of something in the way of drive and control between a&n...

[quote user="Celsius"]The problem is that my target is drive a 211 as full amp, and my CD player give a litle bit more than 1v to grid. What do you think 1V x 33times x 2.8 give 93ppV enought to drive the 211. [/quote] Well, you need another ga...

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...

Romy,Using the Fullrange PS I have bread-boarded the Fullrange amplifier...Turn off the lights and it looks much better.To my surprise (this is my very first amplifier build) everything seemed to work pretty much straight away. The voltages seemed r...

Hm, I took the anti-RIAA signal converted and run CD player into the phonostage. The RIAA curve was fine and the effect of the HF volume and frequency-depended quantization did not expose itself. So, it looks like the phonostage is not a problem afte...

[quote user="rowuk"]Still, my ultimate table needs pitch control. There are enough records in my collection that obviously were cut at speeds other than exactly 33 1/3RPM. [/quote] Hm, I do not think if it is the case. During the 78s era there were n...

Hi Romy,The notion of DPoLS as you describe is of course very intriguing... that there is a piece-of-rice sized speaker-location in the room where the sound and more importantly the listener's interaction with the music is magnified, orders of ...

[quote]This is very bogus notion[/quote]Well I am glad to see you feel that way. You never know - some people cry foul when such happens. "Hey, that was my idea! And now this guy stole it and put into his own product." It happ...

Certainly it took Technics a while to sort out the motor control systems in their serious DD machines. The earlier SP10 Mk1 is not a good example. On the Mk2 they seem to have got it right. Even with that there are other issues like the mat & pli...

The fact that it's taken me this long to notice shows how little I care, but I did find it "of interest" to (finally) note that the iDAT has "8X oversampling, intelligent filter":

Referring to my post in the Electivity themed:

Here in Boston, we’re blessed with a number of very good classical FM radio stations. I had for a long time a Magnum Dynalab Etude tuner and quite regularly was listening “live” broadcasts and many other beauties of urban FM life. I had a few t...

Crushing some Japanese CD shops I came across an interesting new thing: the SHM-CD format. As I understand the SHM-CD is JVC development based on a manufacturing process of LCD displays. SHM-CD uses polycarbonate plastic that improves characteristic ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]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 reas...
