In the first moment I thought it was another variant of the "laser turntable", but in the way it works the "ticks and pops" are supposed to be in there since they are part of the recording, in a way or another.

Hello,
I've just found out about the DS Audio's Optical Catridge which on their literature looks amazing but I have no means to sanely evaluate it from the technology point of view, and so I bring to the folks smart...

Hello,
A Singaporean company came out, apparently since a while, with some perhaps interesting discrete R-2R DACs. The top of the line is the Denafrips Terminator Plus which apparently cost <9000 USD.

[quote user="Paul S"]Alex, I "invented" and built my own power cables from scratch, using sleeved, solid, 12AWG Cu magnet wire, as I explained to Jarek, way up this thread. If buying pre-fab cables, I would first consider Speltz. As for "oiling" the ...

Paul, o/
apparently you use Neotech cables (under another brand), I would like to ask you if you have experience with their rectangular cables and if they have a specific (interesting) sound?

I just realized JOVYATLAS¹ build custom UPS. Probably expensive but may worth a call in the future.¹ used to be part of Wärtsilä.[EDIT] it was supposed to be a "It’s mad, mad, mad... electricity." post....

I found THIS data about the aluminum thermal expansion and I understand it looks like pretty low.
I am particularly thinking about 'Aluminum 7075', btw.
Another thing that came to my mind is aluminu...

I've saw this video already, they are working on that amplifier for couple/few years already, but I am more interested on the 'valve volume control' they are developing.

For my surprise many EIMAC and Amperex models are still begin made and available from Richardson....

I didn't know about this sad episode, but in your place I would find a way to ask him publicly about that[1]. He, of course, has no liability (by law) of what Micro Seiki (as a company) did, but would be interesting to know his reaction. Surely, ...

I think I finally found a turntable I am interested to make an extra effort to hear, VYGER.
I, of course, have no idea of how it sound and I can't really say why I am interested on that particular turntable. This ma...

I read THIS short interview with Hideaki Niskikawa, the person behind TechDAS, and I learned he was the Micro Seiki chief designer, and was the responsible at least by the design of the SX-8000 II (cited in the interview).

There is a pristine looking Micro Seiki SX-8000 on Yahoo Japan Auctions....

I don't remember from my head and would need to watch the video again, and I don't have time right now to watch it again, but IIRC that was about 35min.
At the same time, while I do agree with your initial argument,...

[quote user="KLegind"]PQ is a very good storyteller, but he does not have the vocabulary to say anything else besides 'this is better' or 'this sounds terrible'.His shtick is exotic materials and iconoclasm which is supposed to translate into "our pr...

This is an old topic, but just in case, Danley now offer the DTS20, and that seems to have the format ratio Romy was looking for in the past.
Cheers!

What would be a better material for horns, specially large ones, steel/aluminum or polymer concrete? Do metal horns be the right choice in general?
I just remembered I could ask some favors and have large steel/aluminum horns mad...

A bit of the crazy side, but had anyone thought about a Capstone turbine (and could also be used for heating at the same time)?

Paul, thank you for your input. I think it is better to keep with AN UK cables then. :-)...

Paul,
Do you have experience with Neutrik? What were your findings about their products?
Thanks.

In the audiophile market the advertised price is usually far from the street price (usually 20% off of it), and the price the retailer pay to the manufacture is often the street price with 40% off. So, one probably could buy that turntable for le...

Romy, IIRC when you posted photos of your current home it has a river or something like that in there. You may be interested on Turbulent.

I never heard anything from Barefoot but studio people usually swear on they products, what means nothing to our audio interest but can be a indication.
Also, these MiniMain12 and the MasterStack12 are not really sm...

Paul,
May be of your interest to hear some 'Barefoot Sound' monitors. They are using Hypex amplification for subs, like on the MiniMain12.
There should not be difficult to find a Barefoot dealer in ...

I have no interest on them but the first amp I would try would be the Nagra HD....
