Do read this thread carefully, especially Bud's posts, if you want to use anything herein as a basis or as bases for your own cables. Your remarks about the cotton sleeve, for example, seem to indicate you'd not read this when you listed your putativ...

[quote user="N-set"]IIRC, Viborg uses what they call red copper, which is probably red brass - a high Cu content brass, quite a bit harder than pure Cu. Visually and under a few strokes of a metal saw (I wanted to check if this is not a plating) beha...

When I use Pure Power then I hear no noise/buzz from Big transformers of Power amplifier.It seemd Pure Power 3000 blocks DC .I have no device for measuring DC voltage of AC line.I did not use any DC blocker before Pure Power and I have no idea about ...

Are you sure the remodeling didn't do it? I assume you mean you moved it back into the remodeled room.One time some years ago I was in a recording studio and wanted to use my Millenia mic preamp into the ADC. So I asked them to turn off the mixing bo...

Ha! Maybe I can help. I lived in Tokyo for a few years and tried to find the "perfect" commuting earbuds. Tokyo's "Best Buy" type electronics stores are huge and typically stock 100s of different models. There are also two large headphone specialty s...

My objectives when I wrote my initial post were not to knock the Herb Reichert’s design ideas but to demonstrate that DSET topology make most of Reichert’s views not applicable or even irrelevant. So, my post was not against Herb but rather to advanc...

Hi Paul,Completely agreed - I clumsily said plugs, when I meant spades - was simultaneously looking at some proper lemo plugs for signal and got confused.... Bananas, esp. for big hog woofers are - well - exactly that.I've also used the technique you...

It is hard to describe how I feel. Just recently my listening room was cuddly place, cute and homey and today it is like a tornado run over it. The front-end equipment is piled up in Amy’s bedroom, the amps and horn are stuck all over the house, and ...

Lots of free-for-the-taking info about fringe stuff, including high-dollar tube sockets, on Dennis Boyle's sites. I built some of his Advantage II design/spec cables, and they work very well indeed as long as you don't really need shi...

I know I'm moving slightly off topic here, but has anyone tried those flat, pasta like coper cables such as those by 47labs?
Are there any other manufacturers doing anything similar? I've always wondered what would be the electrical and sonic bene...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Perhaps I need to re-listen my files with Lynx slaved from Pacific in Master mode as you do... Anyhow, following you advise I will excrement more with slaving Lynx from Pacific during D/A.[/quote]Yes, please try this - I wo...

Spend a few hour last night and have all the things connected and laid out in the way how I think would be “properly”. It turned out to be noise and elegant. I changed the location of the components to make the shorter paths for power cables and for ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is possible that they do some impact to sound, why not?[/quote]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...

Dear Romy, You got me wrong I perfectly know that value of many things are not the sum of materials which they are made of, otherwise you could buy Mona Lisa for couple of bucks. The point I tried to say is usually cable manufacturers-and others in a...

What a great rap! At first it triggered my gag reflex, but it did not take long for my eyes to roll back in my head while I began to run the numbers: how many cords, which models, etc.OK, it filters out certain orders of noise. So how does it do wi...

Ever since the Melquiades schematic was published, I have been planning to build one, because the objectives and topology seem like they would work for my system. Unfortunately I am very much not a DIY person. Even though I have built my ...

I discovered today an interesting detail. In one of my Sansui tuners has a malfunction and one of the output cables was accidently touching the ground terminal out the output pot. As the result the out impedance of the tuner became over 6000R. It was...

Bud, you may have read some of my babblings about stacking ground planes and stray current attaching/backing up all over the place; it's a personal fetish. Not to mention the fact that getting the ground "stacked" correctly is almost impos...

Well, if you do not have anything user 35Hz and have low sensitivety then the passive might do. Still in future, when you feel comfortable with your passive unit you might for the sake of self-education try an following experiment: Guy Hummel use to ...

Hi Romy,I wish I had seen your post on Placette before buying mine. I didn't realize that there is no balance control on the unit. I know in theory this should not be a problem, but I miss this feature for several reasons. Can't hav...

[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,...

Hi N,I just use my turntable, arm and cartridge to measure the effects of vibrations. Don't turn the platter on, drop the cartridge into a groove and your phono corrector output will tell you everything that you need to know - as it would happen duri...

[quote user="Jorge"]If you put the Melqualdes in the basement you can put a smoke detector very close and maybe a camera and a monitor to keep an eye on them.NOw you cold also make a statement piece and put some sort of medieval looking cages around...

The problem of most solutions in high end audio is "one step forward, two steps back". Personally I prefer to hear all information/dynamics of sound even if the sound is out of control.when I use Isolation Transformer, AC filters (both parallel and ...

I have thought many times about trying to have an Audio System like Macondo Horn Loudspeaker System and if I could get good result then I will demo it in munich high end show.this is a big project for me because I am not expert and I have no DIY expe...

There is large army of people who dedicate quite a lot of efforts in audio for “voicing” audio components, believing that different passive elements of electric circuit, cables, directivity of cables and many other things are “gravely important”.&nbs...

Perhaps your own priorities and habits are changing somewhat over time? No surprise there. If so, I guess the idea is to meditate on what you want from the room now, and arrange it primarily for that. I have a lightweight chair that I use for imme...

Thank you for sharing these thoughts - it fills me with wonder. I too in the end do not regret the money I spent because sometimes you need to buy the "sounds better than anything ever" amplifier, cartridge or tonearm, and to hear for yourself that i...

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....

I have heard DA0 3.0 / TL0 3.0 in my friend system.I listened to this DAC/Transport in a average 2way living voice system without good cables. it is hard to speak about new DAC but It try to share my feeling.I am familiar with sound of CEC TL0 Transp...
