Allo gents,not sure if you've seen this:http://www.pmillett.com/etf_sod.htmhttp://www.pmillett.com/file_downloads/ThesoundofDistortion.pdf
Pete devised a circuit whose distortion order and level could be controlled. It was for educational purposes b...

Romy, I believe the cartridges are manufactured form Decca by JS Wright in London.The suspension is less of an issue since the Decca cartridges use a novel transducer. There is no cantilever. The stylus connects directly to a metal foil w...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]While not present to the point of ruining the experience, I would love to reduce the background hiss coming from the MF and HF horns/drivers. [/quote] ML2 should be absolutely silent. Pretty much it you drive with ML2 a 11...

OK, got the Placette from the second round of "modification", it took 15 second to confirm that the HF problems that I sniffed out was not there anymore – so the absolute transparency is back to the business and this time the word “absolute” could be...

Interesting that over the last month it is the third projects where people use 6C33S in preamps. A few days back I have a correspondence with Dutch guy, know to audio hoodlums as Direct Heated Rob:

I think you will only be able to decide about this after listening to some operas or other video-audio through the big system. The analog output of the video player may be good enough for the purpose, or it may sound terrible through the Milqs/Macon...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, “everything is a compromise” it is true, but when you talk about compromises you are talking about purchasing decisions not about abstract sound. So, I really do not know where ML1 would be in your scale of your compr...

[quote user="drdna"]Well, You really need to figure out what you want out of your speakers. There are some questions I would ask myself if I were in your position:1. You can eliminate a lot of speakers based on their size, sinc...

I have a Fosell transport for some years now I upgraded from a CEC TL-1 which was miles behind...I use an EAD 7000 III DAC which I kept after having both the 9000 and the 7000, the mian difference between them is the preamp section of the 9000, so ...

HookEm, I could only advised you on methodological aspect as I do not extend any recommendations about purchasing decisions. The 17x15 x11 is a very large room for a single driver speaker. If you insist to use a single driver speaker then get whatev...

I listened to those some time ago. It was a full Lamm combo with ML3 + LP2 paired with Wilson Alexandria. This Doc from the WBF Forum never missed a second to tell the world how super this combination is. Above the holy grail. I found an owner with s...

Hello Gera,First thing I would do is get rid of the active Xover, in my experience they mud everything up. preamps are very important and this is like a double preamp with a lot of gain stages. For bass you can maybe use it. I use a separate Xover...

[quote user="Paul S"]Anthony, congrats on your amazing progress! I know how hard it is to carve out time for this stuff! I see you are looking for gain from your pre-amp, which makes me wonder if you have been using the passive Placette, as opposed t...

via cable but for sure cables sound very different. Hey you are talking to a person
who have a small fortune spent for wiring my entire system with vintage Dominos
and I never felt that it was waste of money...

Hi Anthony,
Thank you for your reply & explanations.
I actually need only a buffer, perhaps 2x as my Yamaha B2 is very sensitive, but I need a good one. I have right now Yamaha C2 just to have anything and I ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The concept of self-testing boot cycle is nice one but it for sure could not be done during the amp booting. Some tubes do need to warm up and reach the cruse temperature in order to be tested, some do not. Some tunes (lik...

Romy,If you look behind the physical time alignment and start discussion about relative time alignment, that is a good start. Thing puzzle me about your view and comment of GOTO system setup that you have seen on pictures or web. How will you know ...

The last two weeks I have no preamp in house. I have great vintage EVS attenuators but I can’t use them with Melquiades as they talk with Milq’s input filters absolutely killing sound. The only way I can play music those days is only from my DAW,...
