Romy, thanks for another nudge toward Bruckner. I was not at all aware of Schuricht before your post, and I do like what I heard of his 8th and 9th via headphones, off the computer, although I realize this is a just thumbnail version. You have said s...

My journey with computer audio offers me reason to be optimistic. I think it is like everything else in the audio chain. Everything counts. Keep it as simple as possible. The power for every consumer is important. Keep the number of parts and transfo...

I understand the rational to get TL0, even though I would not do it as now if I start fresh. The perspective that I am trying to bring is kind of DAC related, If you get TLO and would go for “ultimate” DAC for that transport then you might discover ...

Romy,My DSET amps are still open (no top plate) so are fully ventilated, but I have left vents in the top plate around all of the valves and installed two computer fans (running very low speed) that push air from the bottom and out the vents on the t...

Certainly not the most practical and inexpensive, but probably the system that could keep better the "size and weight" of a performance, just the same way this system did 70 years ago. I don't think a computer based system would keep it, no...

- 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...

New review by the computer audiophile at http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/599-berkeley-audio-design-alpha-dac-reference-series-review/The review is what it is. There is a lot of history behind the company and it appears to be a site sponsor....

After hearing what a well designed FM station recording setup could deliver I became a believer. The question was what would be the cost involved to implement a good setup. After doing some research on the cost of Romy's components to capture fm br...

Why are you so aggressive?Te specs on web site are most generic on purpose.We do not want the competition to copy our design before we applied for patents and protected our IP.If you'd like to know more details, call us and we will try to explain to ...

I am in the process of setting up a DAW to record fm broadcast. Recently I installed a M-Audio 2496 DAC in a computer to do the recording. I am using a Yamaha T-85 tuner. Prior to routing the i.c. cables through the DAC I had no background noise f...

Repeatable turnover options would be the bomb, given that: one starts with a good idea of which curve should be used for a given "label"; there is a good way to keep track of where the thing is set, relatively speaking.If twiddling aircap vanes,...

Sorry for that, the first tapes were pretty good and I got excited, some of the latter ones, well.I do not consider it a live format, but I want to have a few good tapes mostly as reference of playback.About digital I am happy to say that direct co...

I do not go to 'Audio Shows' but the fact of the people are using Lampizators on this fashion may be because they (Lampizator) are promoting the headamp version of their DACs. Seems almost all of theirs DACs have a headamp version now.My experience w...

As a builder I can pre-warn you that this could be a fairly complex and very expensive proposition if done in cast concrete. For that matter excavation, per se, is expensive, and municipalities differ about what you can...

Of course you know,Romy, but others may not know/remember that Nichicon have always had great specs, and years ago they were a "secret weapon" in the high end.But lots of the DIY guys are computer geeks in their day jobs, and The Story is that Nichic...

Let's see if I can magically produce a cd-dvd-preamp-remote volume conntrol-equalizer-wifi-d/a-save stations-and cost under $1000. And it will even tune in TV stations, record them, FM and internet files and even do a/d encoding up to 24/192. Can't b...

Yes yes yes .... Lamm Industries is a BUSINESS... This is abundantly clear whenever I order tubes from them!
But the most desirable of Lamm's past creations are not the kind of things born solely of a desire to make money.
I understand Lamm's ...

Hello Romy,Have you tried recording and playing vinyl with your computer and the Lavrys? Even though the source is completely different than FM perhaps you might get acceptable results for some recordings?? Any success would be a great plus.List...

I have not found the PPs to completely isolate under many situations although they even out sonics across the day fairly well. The PP is far more steady when hooked into my small tubed bedroom system than the main system, the small TV HT system or th...

That sure looks like an interesting configuration for a change , all right, but are those "ceramic" drivers, or what? Does anyone know?What's with all the "space age" materials these days? I mean, are people actually listening or do they just "...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] If I get you correctly, the graph should display a range of around 12dB from top to bottom, in .5dB steps... Yes? [/quote]Yes, it would do, you might go for high or lower resolution, and there are no rules in it. You shel...

I listened to the samples letting them loop several times, both directly from my computer (via a pretty good set of headphones), and then on my main system (Mac computer > external drive > Cosecant USB DAC > pre amp > power amps > horns)... I drew th...

Bracket these comments with my general thrill over finally being able to play music from my computer.(I did sell a pretty mint Evo VIII in part to get into this world.)At first the Lavry DA-11 sounded a little "Pro", electronic, mechanical to my ears...
