can this be anything else but futile?1) If analogue the first thing be the cart, if digital the payer?2) If analogue the phono cable being the MOST important one in the whole system, and could yield some noticeable improvement.3) Has the system got a...

"Success" equals better except for added hum? How lucky is APS to have customers like this?!?Any dimmer switches within a mile and a half of the system? Any variable inductors connected anywhere in the house? Root out anything like ...

It would be nice to run a solid line from the cartridge to the SUT. I do this, but I do use connectors at the SUT; not because I think it's electrically "optimal" but because I don't want to crack the case on the unobtanium T3000, let alone glop...

Well, the pros always say, all balanced, and ground everything, and this is the usual short cut to quiet, long cable runs in complex systems. I think Guy H will make something for you if you can explain to him what you want. Again, while one buffer ...

It's dead. Nobody cares about sound anymore. Esp. not about passive listening. The few music lovers left there, are usually immune to their systems, and lack the knowledge to build their own. Most high end audio is a fraud anyway. I agree with Earl c...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Still the key is to treat the cables, all cables that go into tuner and into the processors. Do not forget that you have a perfect loop: tuner goes to preamp, as in the same time tuner goes to A/D-DAW-D/A- preamp. So, you...

Keith,
it is not the thread about Lavry Gold DAC I would rather to hear from people who have experience with other Multibits, perhaps with many Multibits, and who would be able to generalize their observation about Multibits vs. anything else. I kn...

Thanks Romy, I'll try connecting with an XLR to RCA cable. I've actually ordered a Henry Matchbox HD also because I can use it elsewhere if it doesn't help in this particular case. In any event, I'm hoping to share some thoughts on the Model 2's ...

Romy,That's true that this resistor have negative impact on sound quality. You can run your 6E5P without it as long as you do not get parazitic oscillation.Just connect screen grid and plate electrodes right on tube socket, using shortest possible ca...

[quote user="cb"] Also i stick a 30k resistor in R3 and the results are very good. [/quote]R3 is Milq’s loading resistor and it hardly to do anything with amp itself. Milq has own input loading is floating on the bias chains and it has a ...

Well the thing is that the returning wave from the back side of the driver, does return in phase, but "later" than the front wave, logically. This should add some distortion that I have not noticed, but of course and worried for as much as I am worr...

Apologies for DIY flavour, but what, I wonder, do people make of the following technique for damping relatively thin-walled large horns, in pseudocode...For horn length x = at throat to at mouth Take a length of y mm diameter braided cable sleevi...

...Why not also try a paralleled "solid-core" (single wire per leg) cable. You can twist the paralleled wires if you wish. Proceed carefully, using about 1-1 ½" between the wires. Try silver on the return first...Just as an experiment; as you note, y...

J, I hope you know by now that I really don't care about anything audio but my own results, except that I actually like sharing about this a little. Very specifically, I have absolutely no interest in trying to convince anyone of anything audio.I di...

Adrian, no luck in finding it. It the cable thread it is not.
I've shown your post to an Australian fellow Martin who knows, among 1000 other things, a big deal about welding so he might have ideas how to weld different metals incl. tungsten....

Thanks Dave. Sounds like you have indeed bitten off a lot to chew on. At this point you might be describing cable swaps, etc. I hope you will share again when you are more comfortable with your set-up, since - for all the sharing - no one but Romy...

That's excellent!I once was called to a friend's house to assess the sonic effects of a room DSP he was auditioning. I brought Kwame, my most trusted ears, along. Indeed Jack had a difficult-looking room. So we sat down to listen to some music with t...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Attentuators plugged directly into the RCA jacks sounds like good solution for balance control[/quote]Do not forget that you do not need the attenuators but juts one attenuator that you would plug on right OR on left. Also,...

If you are interested in the technical aspect of the effects that different D/AC (no-oversampling, no reconstruction filter) and cable (USB, S/PDIF, Toslink) topologies have on signals I recommend you have a look here:

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...

Hi Romy[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
... I decided to listen my native feline instincts and go with them. So, decided to buy a Lavry’s Gold AD122. ....Now, the biggest problem remains what digital I/O PC interface to use after the Lavry’s digital...

Last week I sent my DAW’s DAC cable for refueling. The FM programs are slow – the concert season starts in a couple of weeks and everyone are resting now. So, I am spinning some records that made me to pay attention to the status of my analog. What I...

Mani, the neutral wire is meant to be "the" system ground, with zero potential, so it should not have any "input". It is known, however, that many factors conspire to contaminate ground wires (including the neutral wire) with electrical noises, and ...

[quote user="miab"]Adrian, can you confirm whether you were using cable with shielding or without? Like you I had the buzzing go away when on battery or without PP2000 in system. It became dead silent. Then with PP2000 back in system there was buzzin...

[quote user="floobydust"] On a second note, you can also modify this for both adjustable AC and DC balance on seperate potentiometers. Both potentiometers would be in parallel with the filament (and padded) but you use the wipers independantly, ...

[quote user="drdna"]I am sadly missing the living presence in my system, and I thought from your description, that the Melquiades might be a solution [/quote]

Romy, you referred us to the Horlick website. May we assume you have not gone and bought a "small" 30 HP Horlick unit? Sure, something like that might put out a "perfect", smooth, clean, full, suitable-for-hi-fi wave at 60 Hz under load, but yo...

Romy, as you know by now, most small generators are toys, really not suitable for our purposes. I have no idea where or how you found the perfect old small generator, but starting with what you have, if you can get all the wiring right, you just mig...

Paul, I've taken the pains to redo all the connections I could. Washing Deoxit away was a horror. I polished everything I could polish with a jewellery green polishing paste on a polishing cloth, and flushed the remainings with isopropanol.I then use...

No question the Behringer has a ton of functionality, especially at under $300. The simple RTA is useful on the fly. I think and hope this tool will help with the MiniMe development.
I always wondered why the DEQ sounded so veiled but suspected ...
