Hi Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] the S&B unfortunately does just gain, nothing else) but for the money S&B do OK. [/quote]Then it does exactly what is asked of it, I asked JB to design it for me PERSONALLY as a "wire with gain". I have be...

[quote user="Amir"]Ear dac4 is not so transparent and it's volume control should be removed in my idea.[/quote]Amir,Good idea. I bet it will make a remarkable difference. Try to look for your ideal sound among true Multibit R2R DACs. For your informa...

The station that I most listen to is 105.9 MHz that broadcasts from one location 50 miles away at 100kW power and that is detected by 2 FM aerials mounted as a parallel array with rotator and ~ 40 feet of coaxial cable to the TU-X1. T...

on Friday I will test CEC TL0X with MAcbook Pro/Berkeley USB to SPDIF Converter.The Berkeley Alpha USB use the Wavelength Streamlength asynchronous code. Mr.Gordon Rankin programmed these codes and sold the patent to some company like Ayre, Berkeley,...

We cannot view theoretical advantages of individual parts as the path to a better solution. The EAR phono corrector worked so well because the total concept was holistic. Thorstens modifications did not use the "premiere" parts to get the total solut...

Romy,Thank you.I think I should to give some break-in time to Sylvania 0a2.50 hours is enough? Previously I used in my EAR the next set of tubes ECC83: 1-Amperex (red print), 2-Amperex (red print), 3-Sylvania 7025 (yellow print).When I built "End of ...

It's ironic that some of us have spent a lot of time and effort building a vinyl playback system that clearly reveals the differences in the recording curves. How sweet would it be to twist an otherwise-non-intrusive knob to set the playback curve co...

[quote user="N-set"] Sorry Romy, I did not want to sound nitpicking. I'm rather trying to understand if my copy works +/- properly.[/quote] I do not see you nitpicking, you do the right things and I wools do the very same if I was at your place. 1V...

I suspect Mr. Fremer is not all that well respected here, but I found his article on using a USB microscope to adjust VTA/SRA very helpful. I was never able to set VTA by ear. http://www.analogplanet.com/content/how-use-usb-digital-microscope-set-9...

N-set, if you have an unused circuit in the apt., then its neutral may be an acceptable ground path (neutral stays "on" even when breaker is "off"...).Re, the phono calibration, I have expounded the SRA at length in the "Vinyl Ceremonies" thread. As ...

Well, they got John Curl's name on it, and it's "machined from a billit", 2-chasses, yadda, yadda. It also features the "new wave" balanced/presumed- differential topology and a "mystery"/proprietary (presumed discrete) first stage. Likely, it will...

J. Here is a start, If you want live hosts and quality FM broadcast with a wide varity of program material try CBC Radio, available just about everywhere here in Canada including the North West Territorys.Most nations radio stations have large budget...

Of course you can do it all by ear, and I found that there were times when "my ears disagreed with the meter". As you note, signal strength and "quality" also relate to "mode" (such as Multipath), and not only broadcasts but also tuners vary as to wh...

Hi Romy,I've been reading GSC for some time, because I hope to find and learn some different audio perspectives. Untill now I never posted anything because of my total ignorance about horn speakers. But i've heard some wilson audio's a couple of time...

Brian,Microphone diaphrams, headphone diaphrams ,dome tweeters, all have to have the pattern applied with a technical pen i.e. Kohinoor or Mars. These are becomming a little difficult to find in all towns. A 50% mixture of Poly S and water should be ...

Do you think you would lose the ability to hear stereo properly and that for the Van Gogh type person Mono is as sufficient as stereo? I am not sure that there is, deep down, that much of a difference between properly implemented mono and properly im...

The mono/stereo sentiments are not directally related...In some ways yes,,and in some ways no,,,But a complex answere would take a complex mix of remastering the program,, Ive done it both ways. And so has my long ago dead friend,, who had done alo...

I wonder if you're doing your listening with the Bidat using its volume pot or you're using only vinyl with your phono correctors or maybe the ET-T-834 EAR using its volume pot. Maybe the Melquiades has its own attenuators. I'll be glad to know how y...

These days I am traveling frequently and relegated to listening to music via headphones and "portable" sources. I will briefly post my brief journey as a personal log. It might provide a starting point for those who might find themselves in the same ...

Someone please jog my memory by naming some previous true Class A1 SE pentode amps, since I can't for the life of me recall any. This might actually work pretty well if targeted for LF! Adjustable "feedback" could help tons with Z matching, a very ...

Important thought I need to share with you all: try to make every piece of acoustical treatment accessible and adjustable for tuning by ear. This is perfectly in-line with acoustics theory by Skudrzyk (??????) and the great Wallace Sabine who defined...
