Last two weeks I play a strange game with myself while I am waking in my room. I walk soft like a Cat and really pay attention where I lend my leads, I afraid to step on anything. Nope, I did not pawn my Cat and got a hamster. What I afraid to step o...

There is large army of people who dedicate quite a lot of efforts in audio for “voicing” audio components, believing that different passive elements of electric circuit, cables, directivity of cables and many other things are “gravely important”.&nbs...

Hi Romy:
I am trying to build up a good audio system on a budget and have enjoyed reading about your philosophical approach to music and music reproduction.
I will not waste time with "what to buy" equipment recommendations in magazines or th...

OK, I have successfully resolved of one my need – an ability to turn my tuner, MPX decoder and A/D processors on via a remote desktop.
I used this piece of hardware that has USB port:

[quote user="drdna"]I sent Mr Chow an e-mail, but have received no reply yet. However, the interesting thing is that tonight the music on the local classical channel was fantastic. Maybe the electricity was particularly good today? I think I am still...

Thanks, Stitch, it give me a good laugh. The description of my Cats without the context of the idiots to whom I replied did not sound right. I would prefer to use this description instead:

[Quote]BTW, I have a incredibly accurate record of sniffing those thoughts. [/Quote]Thought sniffing is precisely the problem. Too much thought sniffing.You have not heard Mangers, Aporia, or Loth-X speakers yet you thought sniffed yourself into an i...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]BTW, I was kind of saying it many times in past but I think
it high possible that it was no lost in translation. Anthony, if you are trying
to implement with your version of Milq the same multi-amping with line level

Peter,It is obviously that in your installation Lavry and FM are much more isolated then in mine. In fact if your power amp breaks both ground and central wire then when you switch you playback to “Leg B” then digital in not in the picture at all. Ev...

Peter,
The subject of the music servers and the subjects of HOW to record FM are probably the subjects of other threads. I am sure that recording might be implemented by different means - as long as you feel that you do not lose the quality that FM...

Hm, this is interesting. I have fixed one of my B2 power amps. It works very nice but the most important is that it looks like I have found a local technician who actually can do the job.
When I got a problem with my second bough B2 I called ...

I need to make a warning that this is the very first post in my entire live when I post being drunk, absolutely drunk. I am so drunk that I fondly see this fucking monitor. I do not drink. I mean I do not drink all together- I do not like alcoh...

Romy, thanks for the explanation.
I was not sure if you still kept an eye on that thread Romy. As far as I know you need to be logged in to view the images in the diy threads so I will post a couple here to show where...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I really like my Shelter 901, but would like something which gives me a little more of the sound that i'm getting from my tuner. What do I mean by that, more realistic space/tone perhaps. [/quote]
I heard a fe...

It is always surprised me why audio people never did what FM people did. FM people crated a site: http://www.FmTunerInfo.com where they enumerated in very consistent format all available FM tuners (with exemption of some pro tuners and som...

Here are a number of threads at my site where the concept of “Rightsizing from extreme systems....” is pitched. I looked into the “second” systems not because I was interested in “different sound”. In fact I insist that multiple playbacks in the same...

My experience is similar to Zako. I regularly attend Classical Concerts at the same venue and deliberately purchase tickets in different seating positions. Sitting high up in the auditorium I cannot localise instruments. If I close my eyes the wh...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]OK, everything was fine and I might do into the sonic nuances of the PurePower unit. The PurePower drives a lot of switching nose from output. It has the filters but they help only partially. Adding capacitance to the PureP...

Returning back to 47 Labs new tuner.

[quote user="peter foster"] I would probably start testing using TU-X1 FM OUTPUT (FIXED) as a first option. [/quote]
If you have the FIXED output then it is all “tweaking” that you need to do. Bothe of my TU-X1 were export version and both outputs w...

I spoke with various people about availability of upgrades for Sansui TU-X1. I have to admit that I have no problems with it sound and my concern is purely intellectual – there are better sounding resistors nowadays and there are better caps then ele...

A guy I spoke a few days back told me that if he lived in Boston and had the quality of FM programming as good as we have in my city then he would have peruse the best FM receivers possible to get. I was laughing replying that it was exactly what I a...

[quote user="doug s."] i have never heard the rel. but, if you want to hear a tubed tuna at its best, pick up a sherwood s3000ll or later, get it serviced, and run it thru one of your mpx decoders. or get one w/a built-in sherwood mpx. this is...

The really serious piano players I know either ignore it or buy a different piano. I have NEVER worked with a pianist that tried to make a piano something it currently wasn't. I think that when you are obcessed with your playing there are no syna...

The Boston FM radio and my Sansui TU-X1 tuner gave another magnificent treat - a whole weekend of Bruno Walter music. I always liked Bruno Walter, although he never was my “buy on spot” conductor. Performances of some conductor (for instance Sc...

I do not think that anyone would be able to “teach” and I do not thin that there is nothing to teach about the mats. A good “sounding” platter does not require any “actions” from mat and the hard rubber mats do exactly...
