First as stated before, when I 1st received the unit no hum issue it was after it was sent back twice that it came about. 2nd if I use my other conditioner, a Purist Audio Design all is dead quite. The humming out of the speakers stops if you plug th...

Hello all!I have always loved purist stereo recordings that give me the impression of sitting in a real concert hall, and rather accept musical details being smeared than spacial information being lost due to the resolution limits of the pl...

Tim, the cable loading is not what I meant. Purist does like higher current across the cable but which cable does not love it? Dave Clark described very well some of the aspect of usability of POD cables (like disturbance). Some of them he left out. ...

Well, I have a theory that the rough surface may be helping to attenuate multiple back-forth axial reflections, but from what you say, it may be that it results in - what's the proper term? - irregular as opposed to laminar flow at the surf...

In regular off the shelf hi-fi system , be it a total lack of LF in your speakers or the "pinch" of dome tweeters or the midrange mud. Romy like all of us throws money on the problem and he usually chooses well regarded and expensive solutions. The...

I think DP-777 sounds best when i turn off it's Jitter correction and i use bit Perfect I mode in 16bit 44.1khz mode.I think AMR DP-777 is very very good DAC but in my idea it is a-little bold sounding if i criticize tone.It sounds clear , very clear...

I finally got my hands on PP 3000+. Romy was right wait was worth it. I already have a dedicated power line for my system with a proper earth and I'm using Purist Audio design power cords. But improvement with PP is dramatic. In my opinion it makes ...

Hello Romy, hello all the rest,I want to expand my collection towards romantic standard repertoire, preferrably large orchestra. I am not intending to become an expert, but I have a moronic habit: In order to fully enjoy a performance I need the illu...

I think we have definition of purist recordings. Deutsche Gramophone is a huge company and the recorded zillions of events. At time they were better or worse, at time they recorded brilliantly and at time they recordings vandalized the performances. ...

I need to note that the methods that Purist uses are superbly powerful. A few years ago, inspired by what POD does I did number experiments damping cables with liquid. It is astonishing how sound was affected with different liquids. I was running at ...

If only we all could succumb to the realities of compromise earlier in life instead of thinking there is actually a Holy Grail Perfect Solution to any problem. Audiokooks would be much happier if we would.Kind of like polarity - no one really knows ...

Hi Romy,I too have for quite some time been on a quest for a truly transparent preamp. To this end I have tried some that were indeed very good such as the Silvaweld SWC 1000 that I now own and especially the Vacuumstate RTP-3d from Allen ...

Haralanov, you might not get it from my actions, but I actually understand and agree with everything you are saying, in principle. At the same time, I have no idea how to address such a sharp peak mechanically, since adding mass as usual would just m...

I think we know why Purist does not send out refill kits. For the same reason HP and Canon do not send out ink refill kits.
I'm glad to hear about the fumes factoid. I think if I drank the barbecue sauce my body could produce some interesting fume...

I have listened to EAR DAC 4 in two systems.Specification:BNC/AES SPDIF input , no serious jitter rejection , no Digital processing , no op-amp , wolfson DAC 8741 , transformer coupled ECC88 output tube stage (5v output with analog volume control to ...

OK here is another take of the same section. This time with the Aesthetix Callisto. I set the Tascam's inputs to "bypass" and used the volume controls on the Callisto to attenuate the signal to about the same level as the previous recording...

Suburbs or not, there's no telling how the power the utility serves up will sound at any given moment, but a Master Electrician is likely to have followed best practices with respect to routing and connections, which will absolutely enable one to mak...

It could be my mistake or poor taste, but sometimes PA systems sound very good to me. There was one in a toilette of a restaurant playing some classical music that made me almost angry, like, how is it possible to have such a decent sound so simp...

friday we had a good test , we use Roon Labs software.tone was very similar in both CEC and Berkeley but i am not sure about our system tone resolution because we connected a push-pull amplifier to 2way living voice speaker.in our test Berkeley was g...

Howdy,Here are two links to videos demonstrating experiments in the speed of electricity.The first shows how a portion of flow is instantaneous and the rest at the speed of light. Measured with a really quick scope and a 1000m loop of wire.https://ww...

My experience has been that tubes that run quiet and quiet down quickly and "properly" when tapped are almost always quiet with respect to self-noise and/or microphonics in use, apart from low level phono use. And most of my tubes tha...

people think you can use 6e5p single stage full range.

In the past you've referred to current loading in the context of cable length. I recently experienced this when I experimented with moving my amps. I needed to increase the IC length from 1 meter to 3 meters. The only IC I had at that length was an o...

Sounds like your non-cable digital experience is similar to mine. My own transport is "1st generation", non-oversampling for a targeted reason, as is my DAC.Back to cable:I'd bet that many people would regard the Synapse cab...

ArmAlex the fun thing is that you read Romy posts here without understanding his ideas and copy paste Romy instructions in your Audio system and the result is lower than those audiogon guys (an example of your audio logic -> you buy gryphon spea...

Romy:I hope you go ahead with your project of installing the horns in your attic as you are probably the only person who might pull it off, but if my opinion was solicited, I think you would be very ill-advised to do so. Firstly, the costs involved a...
