I have to take exception to the idea that cigars are less complex. I would say they are more subtle and reveal themselves only after a great deal of time. Some of my favorite cigars are my Dunhill Short Coronas that have been aging since the 1970's. ...
|
|
One thing to note is that the cigars have an advantage in that they do not easily go out if you are absorbed in the music playing. Nevertheless, I have been much more of a pipe smoker myself in the past ten years. I have a large stockpile of aged pip...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I would rather feel that somehow PP precondition power to make our audio electronics to sound better. I think that PP still subjected to fluctuation of electricity quality... What it has to do with electricity? Hmmm, I do n...

[quote user="Steverino"]All that is true enough but it seems to be falling into the category of a difference that is not a big deal which again mirrors what other people have said concerning AC regenerators ... I have had musicians listen occasionall...

Amy clearly acknowledged the difference but when I asked her to describe to me the difference ... and she begun to explain to me the deference she heard it from a position of a sting player. It was fan to hear from her...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is not to mention that according to the specification the unit has 1% of THD but looking as the crooked sinusoid I can see in there at least 5%-8%. How with those THD of the power the unit sounds so good is a mystery to ...

I will reserve judgment until I receive the unit. I hope I actually get it. I think since Romy has got his, maybe there is hope. If I ever get the PP3000, I will certainly report that here and post a review of the sound of the unit as well.Adrian...

Gosh,A personal visit from Richard! I'd love to hear more, Romy. Richard has sent me so many e-mails promising to send me my PP3000+ replacement unit from the next batch of units he makes, but of course he says that every time, and has been doing so ...

My wife is a musician. She plays the trumpet in a small symphony orchestra,in a traditional brass band, and numerous small gigs around town. She has a lovely CD out and drove the first "tone-deaf" engineer insane while making it. Ultimately she was u...

I think is a bit sad to see a company representative that chimes in only on the defensive in an attempt to do a little damage control and spin things in a positive light in the hopes that potential customers visiting this site are not dissuaded from ...

I would say that this is not an answer to the question. It does not really matter what the problem was with the PP2000+ unit in question. This is an irrelevant conclusion that seeks to divert attention from the primary issue. What is important is the...
|
|
Just chiming in here. I had the good fortune to get one of the early PP2000 units and loved it, except for a little hum when it was plugged in to the wall. The sound was fabulous! The hum turned out to be a internal wiring issue, which by bad fortune...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"]Adrian, as I recall you live in San Francisco. You are still welcome to visit and listen to my horns, I'd like to hear your setup as well. I am curious how your Edgarhorn system compares to mine. Anyone else who would like t...

[quote user="slack key"]I know that speaker position and room acoustics are important. I use a laser to align the speakers, room treatments, hallographs, crystals, ionizer, Z-sleeves, bybee filters, etc. I also have power conditioners, installed de...

[quote user="Paul S"]Adrian, I have not heard this specific cartridge, but the "alive" thing Levi went on and on about certainly rang a Decca bell for me.[/quote]Yes, it has the characteristic alive quality that all other cartridges lack, but without...

Wow! That review is filled to the brim with so much B.S. I was amazed, all that "You need this special $5000 hookup wire to get the most out of this cartridge" etc. I couldn't believe it. Has the state of audio reviewing truly been reduced to this sa...

It is actually easy in my opinion to separate the objectives where and why in stereo, just like saying:"I want to really have the sound of the bass to be heard at lifelike volumes, even if it means the timbre is wrong and the speakers are straining a...

[quote user="oxric"]I fail to see the utility, as I have always done, of opinions, approaches or theories which make some dogmatic assumption based on limited experience with the said device. So for your opinion, which seems to deny that the Living V...

I think it has already been stated. Batteries in audio are inherently of limited utility. It is a tendency of audiophiles to dedicate themselves to a single "silver bullet" instead of building the system based on the particular needs and compromises ...

This is correct in that a local stable power supply is the goal, and the question asked is how to accomplish this given a fluctuating supply from the grid. The answer repeatedly has been an attempt to essentially create a supply that is either physic...

I live in San Francisco, of course. I have a horn system as everyone knows and a smaller standard electrodynamic system, which is no longer made. As everything is heavily customized. I do not think it will suit your purposes. However, what is absolut...

[quote user="Paul S"]Affect sound, sure; why not?[/quote]Well, Paul, also, I feel that it can affect sound for the better if implemented appropriately for your situation. I don't think it is a one-size-fits-all solution and I think we both know it do...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I can tell you that it is very much unknown if it work. Well, we need to defend what is “it” and what would be the definition of “work”. In my response you missed a very critical element - the notion of “starving grounds” a...

This Christmas I wish for 100 hours in every day, so I finally have enough time to take the EAR phono preamplifiers, the second turntable, the tonearms, the capacitors, tubes and everything else and put it together. And maybe even fix up the secondar...

Too bad it will not be heard in Southbridge anymore, as I won't be able to get my relatives to make tapes for me.It strikes me that while listeners might well complain, none stepped forward to contribute money to the station. Contribute enough and th...
