Observations and Thoughts from theRocky Mountain Audio FestBy Earl Geddes
First I want to thanks all of the kind people who came by the GedLee room. I hope that we both learned something from these meetings.
The Fest this year had about twice as ma...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not know how about 5dB attenuation
via cable but for sure cables sound very different. Hey you are talking to a person
who have a small fortune spent for wiring my entire system with vintage Dominos
and I never felt...

I've been thinking about how I am going to wire these Bass Cannons as well as the horns on the horn stack. For some time now I have preferred ribbon/foil speaker cables for the relatively low sensitivity speakers I have been using. The reason I bel...

W, I tend to "hoard" more out of laziness and lack of focus than covetousness, intending "get rid of" surplus but never actually getting it done. And my Post-Depression Era upbringing ensures that I can NEVER simply throw anythig away! Also, I do t...

[quote user="Vance"] Romy, it takes several months for those blackgate caps to fully calm down…. [/quote]
Actually I take more like several decades and then 5 years after you each time shut down the unit for 5 minutes. I am known to be not a huge fu...

Hey Alex,Aside from the obvious swapping of cables, do you have any extra outputs in your preamp? Don't try any sort of splitting device...I did it once with very cheap cables and couldn't listen for more than 30 seconds. You could always...

This week Romy was kind enough to invite me over for a few days for some Apprentice work and philosophizing. As I alluded above, my Apprenticeship contribution consisted principally of moving some audio gear, searching for some esoteric stuff hidden ...

6) Ok, the first half elephant in the room – the dynamics. Believe me or not but PP3000 is more dynamic then PP2000. It was very sensible from the very first note that I heard from the PP3000. I do not know what to say ...

I think this topic is very very interesting to me and it is a opportunity those 90% audiophiles (like josh) think more about their objectives .I have pointed it many times in my weblog that romy recommendations (both methods and components) can not h...

[quote user="joaco"]hmmm sorry Romy for the lost of your pp2000 ....I would like to share one opinion from a technician that lives in Japan and lived in Chile . We were discussing the issues of electricity and he said "Lines in Chile are poor quialit...

[quote user="darkmoebius"]I asked Jim Hagerman how long it takes to break in interconnects, power cords, speaker, cables, and preamps? He replied - "Usually about 40-50 hours on a FryK. The amps are fastest and get most of the way overnig...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

Romy, my weekend is excellent, truly excellent. I was sitting at the cricket watching my son play this morning and I had one of those "eureka" moments. I realised that when paralleled, the DC resistance of the voice coils (as measured) reduced and ...

Paul Thank you for link
I never find Romy solutions useless to me and i believe those 10$ Belkin cables may be even better than 4600$ Purist cable. I think Purist Analog Cables Like AC Cable, Interconnect and speaker cables are good but their ...

Paul,I have an L2 that uses this tube (at an alarming rate!), so I try to keep a stock of them... While sniffing around, I came upon a deal on eBay that may interest you (since you are in the US)... Check out item number: 150077022964 ...

Romy, I probably have it wrong, but this "negative impedance" scheme sounds a lot like "Servo". If it's anything like this, then no, i have never seen this applied to mid-bass, but only to "subs". But how would a very small tube amp "control" a mot...

I was so glad to stumble on to this site. It's amazing!I've been a Bidat owner since 1995 and I had the latest mods done by John Wright a year ago. Romy, it takes several months for those blackgate caps to fully calm down, but you are in for a t...

Yeah, the power cord was nothing special. The Shunyata cord PLUS the Hyrdra conditioner represent the single best upgrades to my system aside from John's mods. I was skeptical about power cords and conditioners, but I'm a bit of a fanatic a...

[quote user="Paul S"]This $5 discontinued Belkin blue cable may be as good a piece of gear as I own, I kid you not. Among other things it does a great job of limiting noise without screwing everything else up. [/quote] Exactly, it acts in a way as a ...

Dear Romy, it is possible. I would need to obtain some cables to make the connection between my Sansui TU-X1 and Lavry Blue ADC. Also, I do not have access yet to broadband so till then recordings could be to CDR and then I could post the...

I don't remember them putting it this way, but maybe the 2 X 106 V pulse blasts a Quantum-Tunnel-less tunnel through the wire/assembly? How cool would that be?Whether or not this is the case, I think they should claim it is. Any...

There is always the argument that if you can't hear it, it can simply mean that your hearing sucks.......

[quote user="rdrysdale"] Romy, the first time that I noticed that the speaker wires are very important to the sound was when Steve put some very expensive audiophile wires in place of our normal magnet wire. I walked into the room while familiar musi...

Paul S,I usually do not compare source components (or amplifiers or cables or etc.) in this fashion, DAC vs DAC, CDT vs CDT etc. unless I feel two (or more) of then (may) be too similar, like Lampizator and AN UK DACs I like. I prefer to focus integr...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, the wire paralleling is a common thing. This is where
the idea or Litz wire come from when they use many isolated wires for less them

Since my “End of Life" Phonostage have materialized I got exposed to a temptation of finding a “right” cable between my tonearm to the phonostage. The most critical cable between the step-up transformer and phonostage does not exist in my system anym...
