[quote user="Paul S"]George, since you have been using the Equi=Tech units for a while now, what do you like about them, and will you compare the sound you get with and without them? Also, what do you not like about electricity with the Equi=Tech un...

[quote user="PurePower"]...suggesting that we could think of no technical reason that a PurePower unit would have a problem with +/- 60 volt input.[/quote]So you do not know if it will work or not. I see now why I have not bought a PurePower....

I have two balanced 240V/120V Equitech 3kVA step down transformers at the head of my system feeding my two breaker boxes. I have emailed PurePower several times over the last year asking if their units can accept 120V balanced power (+60V/-60V). I al...

Two Questions:1) Would it be difficult to replace the switching supply with an external linear supply. You could even get an adjustable one and play with the voltage.2) I have emailed PP three times whether their units can accept 120V balanced power....

I truly have no referenced between the technologies you mentioned and the actual results.
A wise man on this forum once said (actually he said it many times), "Do not attempt to replace a component until you have identified a problem with ...

The folks who know HT told me that the light force of projector must be matched with gain of my screen and if the ratio is off for a few Lux then my roof will collapse. This really can't be true because you will lose some 50% of the light o...

Stewart screens are probably the most highly regarded screens. Their website has a lot of detail including measurements of the "cans" that hold motorized screens. The cans are not all that big so you may be happy with flush mounting to the ceiling. Y...

If you want to keep it really simple just buy an Oppo BDP-83SE ($800) and use its two-channel audio analog outs to an amp with volume controls. All the setup features you need are in the Oppo including the downmix to 2.0.A new projector will run you ...

Here are my notes on adapters. I am not an engineer so I do not have further explanations readily available but could probably dig them out.1) It is physically impossible to make an RCA male or female with an impedance of 75 Ohms, so all digital RCA ...

Hello Romy,I am no power expert but here are my observations on your situation.Even though a PS Audio and others create a perfect AC sine wave this does not seem to be the answer, even for low draw front end components. It seems that some type of&nbs...

I am not quite understanding part of what you say:[quote]"It is very difficult to make a generalization about it but generally this quite “large bloomy space” will be a space equal to, I would say, 1/8-1/12 of the room dimensions."[/quote]Picking a r...

Nothing. Why else would I post here? If I wa...

[quote user="Romy"] I see a problem. Sine you have 8 meters interconnects I presume that it a relatively large room with speakers positioned relatively far. This way your common remote control will drive two Placette passive units located a few meter...

Romy,
I have always been meaning to ask you why a step-up transformer for a cartridge can be acceptable but a transformer elsewhere is considered detrimental.
Thanks,
George...

I have had a Placette Active for some 5 years now and it was quite a revelation when I put it in my system. According to Guy Hamel one of its most important features is its powerful op-amp output stage with an output impedance of 10 ohms. Since I hav...

Here are some quotes from AA that I found interesting:
Rubber transmits vibration poorly, that's why it's used. Unfortunately this also means that it creates speed variation, mostly due to belt creep (NB I do NOT mean belt slip).
The motor is ...

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...

In the traditional setup of a single motor and platter the motor is "pulling" the platter towards itself, setup D. Could this be of any concern? Supposedly one of the reasons Clearaudio uses 3 motors (other than to charge another $10K) is to keep the...

Hello Romy,I have been using the Max 282 with a Koetsu Urushi Platinum .2mV the last 6 months with excellent results to my ears. I have a few mundane questions that I could use some help with.I am using the fixed headshell "pipe." Have you found any ...
