Listening today Scharwenka Piano Concerto No1 by Earl Wild and BSO under Erich Leinsdorf. I am not so wild about the concerto, there is a reasons why all 4 Scharwenka’s concertos are on second and their tears of piano concertos repertoire. However, ...

Floobydust,
and this is exactly why I ask what “other available solutions for clean power” do the job but do not “hurt” sound. The reason why I ask is because if I know, let say 3-4 devises, of the different designs that do the “electricity cure” w...

The noise that PP generated in my case during the first minutes of charging a completely discharged battery was nothing close to “buzzing” or “buzzing saw wave oscillation”. It more sound like a very strong stream of water rushing out nozzle. It is m...

Well, since I will not experiment with many of them I'm kind of narrowing down the scope of the amps that I would like to get. In 70s-80s break there was a short period of time when Yamaha and Sony made top of the line amps around V-FET output t...

People, keep asking me about the sound of Melquíades and I feel strange as I really can’t not explain how it sounds. It does not make any sense as I initiated this thread with the objective to explain or at least to inform about the Melquíades’ sound...

Zanon, My playback is nowhere near the state where I might think about the DPoLS, I am trying to set up a very rudimental basic balanced sound in the new room, approximately defining where would be the speakers, what they will be doing and how they w...

There are a few moments I am working with now. One is the notorious “viola dryness” – the concept that I am staggering for years. Another thing is that my room each some dynamics of my Macondo – something that my old room did not do. OK it is given t...

Whoever follows this thread of mine note my exuberant reaction to the new fixed PP2000. What however I discover today is that for the last few days, right after the snow storm, the quality of electricity in my lines is phenomenal as well. I have abso...

I am slowly contemplating to put a baby grand piano in my listening room. Besides all other considerations there is one that fascinates me - how the presence of a piano in listening room will affect sound acousticly. I do remember in past I had guita...

Rowuk, I think you take the subject of acoustic in listening room a bit wrongly, would it be for audio or for your trumpet. The reflection of bass wave back to the listener is not the problem at all, at least in my assessment. The key is in decay pat...

I have in my basement a room that I do not use and I am in process of building Finnish cedar sauna in there. The pre-sauna room will have a fireplace, shower, rest facility and the rest ordinary sauna suspects. While I am constructing the frame and w...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] This week on Thursday and Friday I had two “audio visitors” in my listening room. We did some listening and as it have become customary: they asked me to show something “interesting” or different in my Opera Room. BTW,...

Well, one way or another I will fix my B2 amp. I think while I have no bass amp it would be a good idea to try other amps for ULF: powerful tube amps or even class D amps. I do not have inspiration to dry Class D amps and I have no powerful tube amp...

N-set, at this point I am under impression (not conviction however) that a hybrid with some kind of harmonic correction circuit can do the job but spend much less blood. I have to admit that the best hybrids that I head had (Lamm M1.1) no where remot...

[quote user="gordan"] plus they IMHO sound better - less prejudiced towards a romantic SET sound we all know (and some try to avoid).[/quote] Yes, Gordan, it is exactly what I heard about the 10s from the sources that I found rational. The huge plate...

[quote user="Paul S"]But you aren't using the tube rectifier, are you?!?[/quote] Nope I do not. I cancel the contribution to sound from rectifiers and “sonic quality” of chokes by using substantial value of blocking cap that does not allow AC to go ...

… very close design-vise and sound-vise. From here I need just to put a 3-4dB voltage divider in the grid of the driver grid and to found a really good sounding filter caps that will be able to handle 450V. I have some metalized polypropylene but I d...

It is not the subject that I closely observe at this point but I have to tell you that paling with my new MF amp I do develop some linking to Chinese Shuguang tubes. They are pretty good and for $75 per pair new they are surprisingly good. I am not f...

Yesterday my local audio guy visited me. He also fold in love with YoYo tube, flipping juts once between the normal linear tubes and YoYo was enough for him to ask me to leave the YO86 in there and do not change it anymore. We both agreed that it is ...

After all, I faced a problem where I did not expect it. The MF channel with no wirewound LPAD attenuator sounds more extended but at the same time not all of that extra HF too useful. In fact, what I hear is that with the series resistor Sound ha...

Actually I have found a perfect association how to describe the Y0-186 sound, it sound like dill herb. This might explain my love to Y0-186 as dill is one of the most beloved smalls and taste. A combination of dill and garlic is a magic small that wo...

[quote user="ghpicard"]Hi Romy, I wonder whether you could advance on the octal voltage regulator testing on the Milq, and what your conclusions were. As I have already seen Milq on your new home still with the 0A2s I can assume you weren't much sa...

Decoud, I have 4 questions to ask The configuration of chasses you use implies that input has to be in the mid of the amp in front. I however, do not see it. So, where is the input and why it is too far from the first grid? What brand/made/specificat...

Thank you Romy! Actually I've realized that when I wrote it I rather ment dynamical stability then frying the outputs. But in proper PP the even order harmonics are strongly surpressed, sothere should be no or very little change of the output OP due ...
