Thanks, jtavan.
It was educational. I made some first steps already. I made a slow 233MHz (and presumable it would have lower noise with lower speed) machine with no fans, and a large passive radiator on SPU. Formatted it and loaded Win2K Pro St4. S...

It is what I hate the most among typical Audio Morons: they are willing to clown like idiots on any subjects and invent within their sick and frighten minds the imaginary Nuremberg tribunal but they at the same time are completely disabled to und...

[quote user="PurePower"]p.s. Do not follow the advice of creating a new ground for the audio system alone. Multiple grounds can cause very dangerous, even lethal, unintended consequences.[/quote]
Actually it is incorrect. I do understand why a...

I am in minor scale mode toady and play mostly chamber music and only records. FM broadcasts with all their majesty are hardly objective tool to assess what doing on with audio. So, I play records and tapes. Besides everything I am trying to figu...

[quote user="cv"] It looks to me from that he might be using an S2 from around 500Hz or 600Hz up [/quote]
Well, I thought about this configuration and it would be hardly possible in the light of what Kevin does. Let pretend that MF is low-pass...

Linked is a brief article that categorizes the the portable audio player options available Q4 2013 as clearly and succulently as any I have seen. It also includes some portable dac/amp combos for your mobile phone. Of course, DSD is a hot buzzword re...

I think it might help LX_ 's ac problem resolution if I make one simple point.If his PurePower 2000 is operating normally, it is both theoretically and in practice impossible for his household appliance operation to have any effect at all on the AC o...

Great idea , why only big boys can make money on chinesse labor.

[quote user="Paul S"]'Standard Practice" most certainly depends on what part of "industry" you are looking at. While an automoble assembly line might adopt one set of standards, submarine SONAR or interstellar spectrometry systems, for example, woul...

Alex, I think that there is VERY high probability that your hum is from transformer-correctors interfaces. Get rid the transformer, change the loading resistor accordingly and use the corrector with high outpour cartridge, let say over 3mV. If you w...

Yes, it is a different link but I am sure what it is. They claim it as audio transport but they claim an optional CD hardware and software. What does it mean “optional”. If it is a regular DAW machine then it is fine, there are plenty of them out the...

Hello Romy,I am no power expert but here are my observations on your situation.Even though a PS Audio and others create a perfect AC sine wave this does not seem to be the answer, even for low draw front end components. It seems that some type of&nbs...

[quote user="drdna"] I can tell you already it will work. I have experimented extensively with adding lengths of metal to cables. It works well, but you can do a lot more by fine-tuning the amount of metal and in fact adjusting it slightly from l...

truth to be told, i'm so far from building a horn for S3 that the plans may change. the drivers actually haven't left a previous owner yet which makes me a bit nervous. but i understand you presume a short opening horn like expo would allow a more me...
