Playing was various 3 feet long cable between my tuners frond end and AMX decoder my memories about my former cables idea got revised. That lead me to feel that I might not perceive as horribly and I did before an idea to make my own cable. In the pa...

[quote user="hagtech"]Ah, think of it this way. Imagine floating the input to your ET step-ups. Don't ground it. Let the primary and phono cartridge float. This is a similar situation but far far more sensitive. It's a m...

People asked me: Romy why don’t you try to transfer some analog to digital and see what happen. I was queries myself and I decided to try tonight.
Whatever I did was in a way half-ass but I was interested in “as is” result. Although the attem...

This is not as simple question as one might think. If a person embrace DSET topology, let for instance to take my example of 6-DSET channels, then what to do with cables that feed the DSETs? In my case I use one interconnect between preamp and DS...

Chris, I have no experience with good sounding SS amplifier that might drive high sensitive horns. I also have no expertise to build such an amp. From what I trued before I have learned that in order to sound more or less acceptable the SS should run...

Paul I slightly surprised about your comments. The regulating aerial amplifier tube affected sound very mildly, if ever, at least it was my experience. I had a few different 6AK5 but changing them was not a highly notable effect. I still have left a ...

I spent today a couple hours trying to resolve a quantity with my analog setup. As you remember in the mid of this thread:

I was proud that I eventually found a good configuration for my M...

This subject is interesting but unfortunately there are more options then time in life to experiment with all of them. The idea to use fatter cable is right atop of surface. It is not about current caring but the lower impedance of the cable. Remembe...

So, the first DSET is still downstairs on the electronics bench and I am back to work for a while, but not too hard and not for too long (I hope). I've added all the filters and checked and tested and changed some more things and decided that it was...

Sometimes ago I received an email from a NY guy that I know:
“I borrowed a friend's Sansui TU-X1 and just like I heard them at your place it sounds fantastic! What is it about this tuner? There is such an ease to the presentation and no distra...

Gera, what sort of active X/O are you using there, for what sort of music/expectations? Doesn't your X/O have a buffer already? There are plenty of pro solutions that combine the X/O with pre-amp functions, including the ability to drive long IC runs...

I had today a conversation with RAAL’s Alex and he pinched to me a very interesting idea. He feels that I attenuate the outpit of my “Water Drop” too much. I have no doubts that I attenuate it as much as necessary and Alex proposed that I do too much...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, I am on the verge of an L-pad for my HF ribbons, but in my case I believe it is mostly the MC cartridge response I am wanting to offset, on a case by case basis. [/quote] Hm, this it VERY bad. Fix you cartridge setup, it's ...

Not having heard either the 1-stage 6E5P or the YO186 DHT, I can't comment on any comparison of imaging characteristics between any two circuit configurtions involving these tubes/circuits. All I can do is offer that DHT + good electricity can d...

I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, arms, cartridges, CD Player, Tuner, pre-amp and cables ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This is very complex and superbly important concept and with this I have pissed a lot of people in audio. So, while you participate in evaluation of an audio element DO NOT recognized the sonic benefits of this element in i...

I've had lots of down time for a while now, and I just saw the old IEM (in-ear monitor/earbud) post while mining the site. I already posted that I got a Crane CC2E radio, mostly to listen to nighttime re-broadcasts of the local symphony orchestra. I ...

By the time I realized (last year) that I'd kissed off 2016 a year early, it was too late to edit/correct my mistake. Ironically, 2016 has been an "off year" for me, in terms of hi-fi, so, in fact, I've little to reprise for this year. I have poked ...

- If you still keep the Alesis HD based recorder, try plugging the Lavry using the AES/EBU connection into it (supposing it has that digital input, otherwise use the one you have available), then see if the noise is still so high. In the case yo...

Jp, I think what you do is wrong. The ferrites that you use on the picture are worthless as they will not be having much coupling between the cable and ferrite cores. You need to block entry to Sansui for HF noise. The noise might enter via power cab...

Come on, Thomas, no one talks about the 75-85db of gain at MM level. However, the higher gain does has some things that I find is very useful and I find it is much worth to burn extra 15dB in prams then to have a preamp wide open and run photo at low...
