I actually woke up today at 6AM, check all settings on my arms (after a few month of not working), demagnetized the needles and was spinning records all mooring. One of the benefits that I got with new phonostage is that the grounding patters for all...

[quote user="scooter"]Sorry about that. Vince has good days and bad days; sometimes he just does not get it and you did correct by running out. Given his background in 80s solid state amps and your interesting piece of gear I thought he would have ...

I got a pair of good Pultec shielded coils that I am planning to stick in the Rohde & Schwarz’s multiples decoder to replace the Schwarz’s original RC based 75ms FM de-emphasis. I still am contemplation if to stick the filter in open loop where t...

Juts to give an idea of what is going o… Here is a fragment from today’s glorious performance of BSO… The fragment has slightly less brilliance and slightly more noise than the ordinal file and it was resaved in 32 bit WAV format (originally recorded...

[quote user="misnacat"] I'm not engaged to my Accuphase though I do care about it.I read your comment on the ASP antenna and went to their site. In their tuner section for alignment and repairs they have amoung other tuners a T100 featured I assu...

[quote user="doug s."] if you have good reception in your area, the sherwood will be fine. but the sound is where these things excel, really. as they are so dirt-cheap, and even pretty-cheap when completely refurb'd, you owe it to yourself to a...

Well, Nerone, the differences between any tuners would greatly vary with signal, not even with the strength of signal but rather with the specific location and surrounding of a given station. To make the things conceptually right it wou...

What a beautiful liberating alternative – to practice audio living with LIVE FM. There are no barbarian cretins who “master” Sound of performances, no editors, no worsening sound by stupid media formats. Just good people play good music and LIVE broa...

With the coming of the new director to WCRB (Benjamin Raw) the station, without any big hooplas and announcements of “perestroika”, kind of surreptitiously, is turning out to be a truly fine classical station. There are ton of things that they do now...

[quote user="be"]Very interesting "review" thanks.The 150D is possibly not the most relevant comparison, it does not seem to be a high quality product since its ESR values are not even mentionned in the data sheets.Tha T97 series: ( http://www.vishay...

Well, I have to admit that the stupendous sensitivity that Sansui TU-1X have after the Stereo Surgeons tune up to use the TU-1X is kind of complicated. With 0.8mkV this tuner picks the noise that my DACs radiate. I staffed all wholes of the Sansui’s ...

A couple months back I sent to Dima a link with a wonderful collection of audio articles from first part of the 20s century:

In next couple days, talking with Dima he asked me: “Roma, what is REL Company a...

Peter, I do not know what is doing in with AM, I do not use it and all my experiments are in FM range. You might do the following: take FM antenna out of tuner and use instead a few cm of local wire. Defeat the noise causation on Sansui and run the t...

[quote user="manisandher"] Also, when I switch from AC to battery, the output voltage (as measured by a true RMS voltmeter) INCREASES by between 3-4V. Now, I am NOT suggesting that this increase in voltage is causing the difference in SQ. However...

It is over 2 weeks as the crossover parts for my Altec 21S modification are sitting in my house. It would be 30 min fix but I still did not do it – juts lazy. I want for how to keep the Altec low path crossover but I the crossover for MF I would like...

What an incredibly cool result!!! I retrofitted the Rohde & Schwarz decoder with a few changes and it throw a very very very nice sound, in fact even better then I predicated. The Decoder has a SS single-end out stage (not PP) with a high-heated ...

Well, after the year of playing with it I did what I always wanted. Without having a technician who would be able to work on the Schwarz I combined my two of Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 into one. One of them had very good front and with v...

[quote user="scooter"]What does this mean for Mr. TU-X1?[/quote]
Actually it has nothing do with TU-X1. If I record with TU-X1 I will have virtually the same result. The TU-X1 is bounded to Pacific A/D converter and Schwarz is bounded to Lavry. Schw...

So, to recall everything g the 3 major modifications were done on REL tuner:
1) Change of Detector diodes from 60 year old glass diodes to 1N5711– with huge advance to Sound
2) Change diodes that come to grids of the limiter stage t...

Tonight I recorded the Live Tanglewood broadcast with all Russian program:

As I said - the “smart” Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 is virtually immune form any signal overload at list I was not able to found the station what need attenuation. The gloriously sounding Sansui SU-X1 had much more stupid frond end and this beast nee...

Here is a good Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 illustration. This is a station not truly DX but a station that is in very difficult reception environment. I never was able to get it clear from my location. Even the DX champion Yamaha T-85 in its ultra na...

After learning about the Schwarz’s circuit Dima declared that it will be very simple to build into the unit a good quietly multiplex decoder as the plug in modules as a substitute to the original modules. This will change nothing in the Schwarz but t...

I mean to make this post with the observations for a number of weeks. The days are passing by and I hoped that I might get deeper to the bottom of it. Unfortunately I was not able to.
So, the Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 is feeding a modified Yamaha ...

I have directional rotatable antenna the runs ~150 feet of coax cable; I think it is 6dB lost in cable. Then I have 4-way splitter that eats another 12db. I deal primary with 3 stations.

Here are a number of threads at my site where the concept of “Rightsizing from extreme systems....” is pitched. I looked into the “second” systems not because I was interested in “different sound”. In fact I insist that multiple playbacks in the same...

I have to admit that I do not like the trip to Tanglewood – sitting for hours at the damn turnpike exit is not my definition of fun. The few times I was in Tanglewood I never was able to get the sits where I appreciate sound a strange place for to li...
