[quote user="rowuk"]Amir,you have now posted twice that "proper" USB is better than SPDIF. The problem is that it isn't, unless someone makes up rules to define their own sense of better. The problem here is that they have not defined anything that i...

Too hot to expect the best sound today, and besides I have gotten my morbid curiousity worked up about the recording/playback curves, so I fished out a few LPs mostly to hear/see how they sound with respect to the "shape" of their sound, aspects of w...

Experimenting with Decca carts, I've temporaly disconected the SUT's and decided to check the RIAA calibrationand I think I have some (circuit?) problem.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
An interesting devise, They allow to adjust the midle point of the RIAA curve. I never have seen it and I wonder why would it be necessary or desierable?[/quote]Well, a range of mono EQ curves (and o...

Yesterday WGBH 99.5 broadcasted a program with a compilation of the best moments of Vienna Philharmonic New Year Concerts for the last 30 years. It was mostly Johann Strauss’ light music that they pull from public CDs. It is not exactly my type o...

This is funny. I closed my house on March 16 and today is March first. It is lost a year passed and only now I begin to feel that my playback is back. The status “back” it means that al major problems are filtered out and I just turn playback on and ...

Thank you for the feedback guys!

Romy, do you power your End of Life phono from the PP??
I have the same phono, with choke input PS for both the heating and the HV.
1) If I plug the phono just to the wall, the noise just normal wi...

I followed exactly Romy's advice. I disconnected EVERYTHING from PP1500 apart from the Endoflife phono. The phono output was monitored via RTA software on a battery powered laptop. There was only phono connected to the PP. [I don't have GND loop...

What the great thing the new WGBH 99.5FM All-Classical turned into! The new station is become my truly live supply. I have managed with acrobatics of my tuners, filters and antennas to get a more or less acceptable reception. The sound quality is...

[quote user="cdwitmer"]I'm probably revealing my ignorance by even asking this, but I'm curious to know if a field coil ribbon tweeter could be practical. It occurs to me that if one could be made, it would be a lot safer since it wouldn't be a black...
