Well, I do not know if it was lightning but what else would it be. I did blame Amy with her hair and her curly machine and I did blame out little Koshkas for running around house like crazy and generating static perhaps. I even blamed the cleaning la...

In regard to the noise issue I had with my Pure Power unit in the past, I never noticed it with my tuner or other components, but I mostly listen to the phonograph. In particular the Decca cartridges are incredible as antennas and seem to pick up all...

I am not a DIYer and have no skills nor knowledge to build the Melquiades, so I contacted a technician here to have one built. He said he could make it and stated the cost at around 3000USD including his working time. He suggested some changes in the...

OK, got the Placette from the second round of "modification", it took 15 second to confirm that the HF problems that I sniffed out was not there anymore – so the absolute transparency is back to the business and this time the word “absolute” could be...

Thank you Antonio. I now believe that those natural resonances were what I was hearing, and that they are very painful when the loudspeakers have limited bandwidth!I've listened to Caballé again, now with MF and LF connected, and now the resonan...

Hi Romy,I've noticed the following about my behaviour and the site design:When I drop in here, my eyes turn directly to "Recent Replies in All Audio Forums".There I expect to find everything that's been written lately, and forget that the first post ...

Hi Antonio, I just realized I glanced over that thread assuming its relationship to the 6 levels of benefits. Its quite interesting, but I do not know where I fall in that spectrum (no, it can't be discrete stages as its far to "big" to really ...

Hm, that is interesting. I also not a huge fun of Boulez but I remember a few years back I turned my tuner and it was somebody play Debussy’s “La Mer” and then without introduction the Jeux. It is very difficult to knock me off with La Mer but then i...

[quote user="skushino"]Yesterday I had 30 mins to kill before an appointment. I stopped at the local Goodwill to check the record bins and discovered a 3 LP set of Koussevitsy and BSO performing Prokofiev, for 99 cents. There is a little ...

These gifts only FM can give! I am sitting home, do not bother anybody, turning up the tuner and suddenly discover absolutely amassing piece of music about which I never ever heard. I so felt in love with the piece that I listened it already 6 ...

I am faced with remodeling a bit. I started out with all my equipment on an Arcici Lead Balloon rack and two speakers, which was nice and simple. The mono SE-DHT tube amplifiers I built are now on either side. I recently have come into po...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...

Hi Scooter,
First of all, thank you for the Mac check list. Very helpful!About this Mac>More info>USB Device Tree: I appear to be able to select a dedicated port.My Revox B-260 S tuner seems immune to the Lavry at this point. I have a ferri...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anyhow, start to record and you will love this processor even more.[/quote]I'd love to give this a go... I just need something worth recording!I have a good FM antenna on my roof and a half-decent tuner in the guise of a Ro...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]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 so...

What makes the organ so special is truly not the what, rather the how. Each pipe is not just tuned to the correct pitch, it is also "voiced" to contribute the proper color for the particular register and room that it belongs to. Some registers are li...

I have seen this effect before not frequently in my playback however. It happens that I did not listen my main playback attentively for 2 months. Frankly I did not even turn it on for a month or so. With many other things that are going now in my lif...

I had a business lunch this week at an upscale restaurant. They served some german specialties like I never had them before. With each bite there was a "taste explosion" in my mouth - but none of them wasted my tongue, so the next bite, the next cour...

I had yesterday our technician to make a first pass over the Mason and now it is eventually is in tune. It is become playable I have discovered a interring challenge. As I said before the acoustic setting for the piano is perfect in out listening roo...

It's quite a marvel from what I can tell now. The overall sound is somewhat on the darker side but the preamp is still breaking in (although I gave it 30h benchtop burn in with the frybaby track). I also suppose it reveals the Dannoy and the room int...

Robin, good point about instruments shifting harmonics according to loudness. Of course, hi-fi components (especially speakers) also "shift" with varying loudness, but the way a given component/speaker shifts does not necessarily correspond to how a ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="guy sergeant"] I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, ...

I’m involved now in a VERY interesting project that leads me to ask a strange question: did anyone ever research the subject of those Hi-Fi Mini Systems? What I need is a small source of FM and CD in a one small “comfy” box. I do not need that CD to ...

I do not know why but your comment that your guitar is great because it never plays the same things twice make me to la...

That is truly great and IO would like to express one more time my esteem to active Placette preamp.
I play with 3 tuners and multiple stereo decoder options trying to gig out the minute differences and aspect of sound of those units. It is a pure an...
