[quote user="Saturntube"]Similar experience but I get to keep my "old" room. I have just changed my 5 way horn loaded down to 140 hz speakers to a friends room twice as big as mine, with an open back area into the house as your new room has and o...

It look like the project progress well. I have a little concern
about heat the will be building up in your PS enclosure. I do not know what
kind ventilation hole you have in there but be advised that it will be quite

Hi Thorsten,
"I agree. I
have to note that even in active preamp I/We (the we are friends from
the London Live DIY Circle) tend to prefer TVC's over resistors."
Hmmm....I guess I can't really see that unless you are enjoying a
particular col...

I have just taken out of my system a First Watt F5 clone Tim Rawson amp, It was substituted by a Telefunken PP amp with 6AQ5 tubes. Let me to explain.
My system consists of 6 way horn loaded speakers. I have a round Tactrix...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] One of the things that solicited me to try the APS unit was the assurance of the APS guy (Richard) that what I run ASP unit from internal battery + regeneration vs. the plugged in wall + regeneration ….I should hear no dif...

The 6C33C preamp? Hm, this is bold. As I see you use it as a single stage buffer with only one 6C33C and couple output with a transformer? I head the Germans built something like this but I never heard it or saw it. I do not feel a need for such ...

Jessie,
I was trying to evaluate the gain of my amplification in respect to larger room and again was thinking about your case. I think something that you do it not correct. You are complaining that you have not enough gain in upperbass, but I...

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...

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...

[quote user="KOTriode"]It's 60Hz hum, caused by both mechanical and magnetic field coupling to the output transformer. I used a toroidal transformer and thought it would not caused this problem but it did. When using an external power supply for ...

Hi Thorsten,
I understand what you are saying and with regard to the particular preamp in question and you may well be right as there is no mention by the manufacturer what brand of autoformers are in use (or if they roll their own). I am curi...

Hi Romy,
I did the review on the AcousticPlan amp, called the "Santor". It is indeed a two-stage amp using 4 6922 tubes in parallel to drive a high Bias Mosfet output stage (it is class A to approximately 15 watts and runs very hot). It ...

There was a big room in there with big Schweikert speakers (with thier grainy and insultingly confident Sound), some king of not particularly good electronics and the entire EMM Labs’ front-end. Many rooms at the show used EMM Labs so-call preamplifi...

Regardless, I like technology and like the idea of having all music instantly accessible from around the house from one screen, especially via a remote screen like the iPhone/iTouch. From there it is easy to stream from one server different music si...

This is not as simple question as one might think. If a person embrace DSET topology, let for instance to take my example of 6-DSET channels, then what to do with cables that feed the DSETs? In my case I use one interconnect between preamp and DS...

It is not secret that Stefano Bertoncello loves to appreciate
Goto and is very prolific Goto devotee. Some people love to be groupies of some
cars manufactures, or football teams or political parties. I never associated with any “group identity” a...

user="anthony"] You can see the little 2-way standmounts that I am
currently listening to behind which are the 'wings' onto which I will build the
DSET. [/quote]
This is perfectly fine but

The thread specifically started with the subject of dynamics - not limited to any one type (I do disagree with the principle of macro vs micro dynamics, as understood in audio as live they are never exclusive of one another - it is possible however t...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] In your earlier piece about how to use the S2 'properly' you wrote
"Whatever happens between the 400 and 2,5 is pretty much unnecessary for you garbage. So, get any known to you soft capacitor of 3uF and place it in serie...

***The proper loading value is difficult to say without knowing your system, as it is partly a preamp and ultrasonic RF issue as well as one that involves the cartridge and audible frequencies. Some cartridges have frequency abberations within ...

My other love and career has been as a metal sculpture so I like to mix the two. It gives me great pleasure to see cool looking audio while ensuring that it sounds a good as possible to my ear. Using 4 of these tubes in my next build, I would like ...

Hi everyone Guess what! Just had a visit to this system last night. Upfront, the owner - thank you Klaus again - is a very welcoming and friendly fellow. But also remarkably reasonable and decent. Total absence of any need to show off. You rather nee...
